should we even celebrate farewell?

i promised i wouldn’t cry until we get to the airport so i didn’t. probably th last get together with friends before my little sister parts with the city she was born in. these are just some behind the scene snapshots of another amazing photoshoot with armand alforque. this photoshoot and paying half of the hotel room is what he called his christmas gift to us.

ps. i might not be around to blog much these days. last week, my big sister’s wedding and work has taken over my life. the next couple of weeks, i’ll be busy preparing for my little sister’s departure. a lot to deal with, i know. after all, there’s just 3 of us and after two weeks, there will be only me left at home. so please bear with me and i do hope you still continue to look forward to my post.

  6. Gusto ko mag-mura. Like pakingshet mura! Haha! Ang ganda ng floral maxi dress! I bow down to how great you thrift shop! whoooo! All hail the queen! Also, I am so conscious wearing dresses without straps for the fear of it clinging on to nothing aka I don't have big breasts so it might actually slide down! grabe kailan ko ng maarteng kapatid na babae para turuan ako kung paano mag-shop ng magandang strapless bra! hahaha!!

    On a serious note, so sad that your beloved sisters are leaving 😦 I know how it feels. And maybe you'd feel kind of anti-social for the next few weeks. That's how I am when I am sad. I'm not in the mood for anything. BUT, please see me on the Cebu on the 15-18th! I don't know when on those days, but at least you know when I'm coming! πŸ™‚

    (dami kong comment ang haba sorry) On a fun note (again!), love all of the outfit of your friends! I remember Erykah Badu in your outfit, with the turban and all πŸ™‚

    Cheer up, G! I hope you feel better soon!

    PS
    Love the make-up! Weeeerk!

    goodbyes are never easy but what keeps us going is the idea that the world is just opening up to those who left and those left behind. stay strong! πŸ™‚ btw, gorgeous turban!!! i so envy people who can make one!
