Emmet Cullen Was Here

I have been a bad blogger.. I took some photos for the blog but I never put them on.

November 15th, three New Moon casts came to the city: Kellan Lutz (Emmet Cullen), Christian Serratos (Angela) and the Canadian Chaske Spencer (Sam). That same day my friend Hana and I visited the mall to hang out and check out our favorite stores.. also saw 2012 (crazy movie, sucked the life out of me).

This was few hours before the guys (and girl) came.. Some people queued up since 7am the day before.. Nuts!

Trying out a top at Urban Outfitters

And this is what I wore

This Lady Wants to Go to Broadway

..and star in the fabulous Hairspray

whoops forgot something..

there we go..

Lime and Turquoise

First of all, let me thank my good friend Ruth Wijaya for liking my outfit so much that she put it on Fashionese Daily’s Street Snap column.

Translation: “I like how Ragil pairs lime fringe shawl with a turquoise shawl. To me this color combination never fails. Beautiful.”

I got this this new blog titled Lime and Turquoise from Twitter. I’m a bantji-turquoise (turquoise freak) so I opened the blog right away.. thinking it’d be a blog about how lime and turquoise have made their way into the runway. Wrong!! lol.. Anyways, this is the same shawl I wore when I went to Calgary. I was going to order Bright Yellow ’cause as you see, I love playing with colors. Bad news for me, they were sold out. Then my friend Imelda (or how I always call her Ikho) told me to order dusty yellow..

I thought about it and why not.. I have lots of turquoises and blues.. And it’d be good to light up my black jackets in the gloomy winter. Even pink can be matched with yellows! Although you probably need your sunglasses when I do that..

Welcome to the UGG world :D

Fingers crossed. I registered for school today, nothing fancy, just some part-time courses while I’m still hoping to get a job in this crappy weather.

Why the title?

I was thinking to wear my UGG boots but then I thought “I should look more professional” so I turned to my black leather boots instead. When I entered the campus, UGGs were everywhere. Fully understandable though, I’ve experienced life as a student in a 4-seasons country as well. Back then, I had no UGGs – tried them (and yes they’re warm) but no intentions of buying them. It was cold, but not as bad as here.

Today was pretty nice. 0 degree, but still 3 cm of snow. And for days like this, people wanna be like at home and comfortable when they’re at school studying. And most of them are still fresh high school graduate, might not have the luxury to take a car to school.

So when I got home, Zeeshan said “don’t wear your UGG boots to school, ya” Well, we’ll see.. might have to for days I don’t get a ride to school

Anya Slouch Buckle Peep Boots from Topshop (it’s a gift )

A-Ten-Hut Military Jacket from Forever 21 (been looking for this for ages, thinking to get the black one as well )

Naked?

Oh my.. I’ve been abandoning my blog for what feels like years. Sorry blog!! I dressed up for you today I hope you forgive me.

My husband asked me today if I felt naked – as you see I just had leggings on with a t-shirt that barely covered my bottoms. Surprisingly, no.. I didn’t feel naked. I thought I would, but I figured not a lot of people were looking, I knew I wasn’t special

Tell me, do I look naked?

Also, I got the leggings!! The one pair I told you few weeks ago (or months??). I think the one in Topshop has thicker material – I can understand why they’re more expensive. However, Forever 21 ones aren’t bad at all!! They fit really good and they stretch gracefully. Loooove!

T-shirt & Leggings: Forever 21

Necklace: H&M

Watch: Fossil

Boots: Van Dalen

I think summer is over. It was raining the whole day today. It was cold and I was thrilled. I love the smell of rain and the cool weather. I miss winter already.

Ironically, there’s one summer movie I really really want to watch: 500 Days of Summer!

I love Zooey Deschanel!! A bigger fan after I heard her singing. Anyone knows the song “Sweet Darling” by She and Him??? Love it!!

Holes!!

After cutout and shredded leggings, will leggings with holes be as famous?

Topshop vs Forever21

Few months ago I fell in love with Topshop leggings with tribal prints on it. I am not a fan of anything boho and hippy, ’cause I can’t pull it off. But there’s something about tribal I cannot resist. I did resist the legging though, the price was outrageous even when they were on sale.

Today, I found the same leggings for much cheaper price. Available locally too. Well, not the same ones but they’re very much alike. From Forever21. They don’t come in white though, but still it is the prints.. graffiti, tribal, however you wanna call it, that caught my attention in the first place. It kinda broke my heart ’cause I already shopped too much this month. But would I let go the piece I love twice?

Rest In Peace, Michael..

Starting today, July 7th will mark the funeral of the King of Pop. True or not, we have less than 24 hours to see. Some things are certain, both private and public memorial for Michael Jackson will be held later today.

June 25th 2009, the first time I was told that Michael Jackson was dead, I was very sure it was a hoax, while I googled “Michael Jackson” at the same time. When I saw wikipedia’s highlight “Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer and businessman.”, I was stunned.. “this is happening”.

For a day, though still in shock, I was calm. I was on the internet for hours, finding out what happened. CNN was on, I was starving for more news. I listened to Michael Jackson’s songs. I still could not believe it. I fell asleep thinking about we had lost a legend, I woke up to another thought of him being dead.

The next few days I was accompanied by unstoppable tears when everything started to sink in. I watched people’s tribute, including the Philippine inmates on youtube, New Kids on the Block tribute during their concerts and BET Awards tribute where Jamie Foxx and Ne-Yo sang “I’ll Be There”, more tears rolled down.

For 30 seconds I felt good when I read someone’s message “Michael Jackson is not dead, it’s just a stunt to promote his London gigs”. I wanted to believe it so bad that I did believe it. Then, I remember Jermaine Jackson’s speech where he said “My brother, the legendary King of Pop passed away..” the reality came back rushing in.

No words can describe our loss. Yet, we’re still trying to find the appropriate ones. The result is endless.

I am hoping that in less than 24 hours, Michael Jackson will finally be laid down to rest in peace. And we all will continue to celebrate his legacy. A tribute:

“All the songs you used to sing

The pretty world you pushed me in

The higher ground where I’m standing

I miss you, Michael..”

Hey Bumblebee, You Can’t Fly!

Watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I saw one review saying that it was a bad bad terrible movie, rather than wasting money you’d better watch it in the living room with people playing cans fighting in the background for the sound effect. Well flip the coin, ’cause I’m on the other side.

The movie was.. 2 hours something, that long. But well worth it. Shia Leboeuf has grown to be a fine young man. Megan Fox is hot hot hot.. I am so jealous of the way her body and face are assembled :p Lovely locations – been there – some nostalgic excitement. Thrilling fights of the steel vehicles slash giant robots – somewhat too much that one day I felt like listening to junks fighting.

The only drawback, there wasn’t enough of Tyrese Gibson.. Why?? This guy is a brilliant entertainer!!

Yesterday was the premiere of My Sister’s Keeper. Today I saw some headlines that Abigail Breslin really soars. Yay! She’s the reason why I want to see that movie.
