Water Gypsy


 




A day after my parents spent their weekend anniversary alone together at Crimson, the rest of the family caught up and joined their celebration. I took one of our samples (from Blind Creations, our cut and sew line) out for a try. Ninz and I like testing out our samples so that when we do release them, we can vouch for their wearability and comfort, and tell for ourselves that the clothes we make can actually make its wearers feel good. I had fun wearing its oriental pattern/palette, and especially the freeing silhouette. Clothes that feel somewhat sexy even if they don't hug at all are magical. 

This maxi dress is made of printed chiffon, with an overlapping V-cut draping at the front and with a V zip-up back. These, along with other designs will be released this June so please stay tuned for that. Thanks to Ninz, as usual, for taking my photos! :)

On a lighter note, Crimson Resort and Spa, ever since it opened, had been our family's favorite haven since it is most relaxing compared to all other resorts in Mactan, personally speaking; then again maybe it's just my personal bias for anything zen: from bamboo-wood-stone furnishes, white pebbles and woven furniture, citrus colored fabric, down to scented oils, orchids on towels, and anything eastern. I swear my future home will have a little bit (or a lot) of "Crimson" to it. 

Oh and, the chilled and scented towels served at the scorching hot beach front was brilliant. It was a fun day fooling around in a tiiiiiny private pool with 6 people (my entire family, can you imagine? haha!) and then bumming out at the beach with my siblings Ninz and Don. :) Summer in the Philippines is coming to a close. Are you ready to see less photos of the beach on your news feeds? I'm not, but oh well :))

Island Cruise Photodiary

Summer came early for me last February when I got back in Cebu from all the board exam fuss in Manila. My friends planned on a banca cruise and my arrival in the home town was just perfect timing. The beach, my friends (whom I haven’t been with in ages).. two of the best things in the world. I was first to arrive and you can just imagine how giddy I was as I watched everyone arrive in batches and get off their vehicles.

You know the drill: Snorkeling, Island Hopping, Lots of Pictures, Food, Wading, Music on board, Leisure Swimming, Afternoon naps on the boat, Sunsoaking (not too much though), and a whole lot of catching up. It was priceless.
These guys and I grew up in the same youth group and we called ourselves “Jamsesh” (I coined that since it was too long to say Jam Sessioners) because our friendship started with single guitar and a random jam session in a boat back to Cebu from a youth camp back in 2005, and we’ve been family since—we do volunteer work together thru Elim/Genrev, fight and argue (C'mon there are about 20 of us), go out and play or hang, and grow (in number) like family too. I know, I know that was a little too cheesy but come on. :)

Since this is a photodiary, I’m just gonna let all the photos do the talking. Luckily, we have a lot of camera- wielders in the bunch, spared me from doing a lot of work in this photo diary:
Maj and I on Canon, Julz on Pentax, Mic on Iphone.
(Raises Glass Coconut ) To Summer? To Summer! <3


































Can you feel the high I felt that day? Haha.
I hope you enjoyed it! More summer photo diaries to come! :)
You too can book your own banca cruise here.

Outfit Post time! :)
Nothing fancy or frilly for beach this time. Light clothes you can split and cartwheel in work best for days when you intend to run wild. Hahaha. I happy kind of blue for my bottom, and a basic white polo for that chic factor and later changed into what I'd like to call my baywatch tank (red) which I bagged for 200php at Penshoppe. I think it was supposed to be a sleeping garment or something. Haha. I intentionally got one 2 sizes bigger and I'm sure you get why. ;)
