“Dare to Be

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.

When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.

When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.

When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.

When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.

When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.

When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.

When times are tough, dare to be tougher.

When love hurts you, dare to love again.

When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.

When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.

When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.

When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.

When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.

When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.

Dare to be the best you can –

At all times, Dare to be!”
― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

This morning, I randomly found this quote on one of my magazine and it led me to think about life and where I am leading. To be frank, I am not sure where I am right now in my pathway... I know I am still walking through a pathway looking for something that can lead me to happiness. Even though I smile each day or even cry... these emotions are permanent since I haven't cross the mid point of my lifes journey. Just like me I know there are many you out there with the same emotions and feelings, I know it's hard but just remember with every rain there comes a rainbow and in other words each step or choices we make in life are just small stepping stones that leads to our future. Its long and very tiring but it's a journey that makes tests all our capabilities. Since 2013 is coming to an end, I thought this would be a great quote for each of us to remind ourselves about our achievements and errors we have committed in the past months. So, what do you guys think about the quote and also about your road to success?

Well on that, hope you all have a stunning weekend and enjoy!!

Regards,

It's officially December and can you believe that year is almost over. Time goes really fast right and also, next week I will only be posting one outfit post for the whole week since it's exams weeks and I need to study. This year I have four final exams and after that I am officially free for the year, until I heard back to school in January. Also, what do you guys think about my new blog layout and also I received tons of questions on twitter on how I learned to do these html layout format. Well, in highschool during my spare time I used to spend my breaks with my highschool's computer science teacher. He taught my friend and me a few tries and tips on how to format and literally play around with them. During on my final project for that course I was able to create anime a movie and he also allowed us to help out with format some of the school's library links. It was fun and now it actually somes in handy, plus I am still learning... I just reently started learning on how to create sliders through youtube. Well, other than that it's officially Friday and exactly one week of December is over and onlye four more to go!! So, guys what's your plan for the month of December and did any of you guys finish gift shopping yet?

I am not sure if any of you remember this particular sweater, well it from one of my first outfit posts in 2012. I received this sweater from UDoBuy and I was one of the first lucky members to work with them during that time (and extremely delighted to say that I still hold a strong bond with them). This week, I has been hectic not because of school but due to the major delays caused by the local transportation system. Since the weather is getting colder, there are literally tons on construction all over the city and this have been causing tons of delay. So far I have been waking up extra early to head to my classes plus have been coming home really late than expected due to it. Therefore, this whole week, I literally did care about my outfit but rather rushed myself. However on Thursday I decided to add some colour into my busy week by wearing red. The pop of colour definitely changed my mood, anyways this particular sweater was featured in two of my past posts (Again&Again, Same But Different). Looking back at my outfit looks reminded me that I have actually changed from my style and even my posture has changed. In my old looks, I looked trapped and forced (by the photos), but now I look feel and more confident. It'e extremely weird but this is definitely a great example to showcases the positive aspects on creating a blog (and have amazing online friends/readers). Thank you so much!! Also, for this look I tried to do somehting different by wearing boufriend inspred jeans with a chunky sweater, but added tons of accesories to bright up the look. So, what do you think about it and how do you feel about my change from 2012 to 2013?

It's been over a week since I posted an outfit post and recently have having been trying to get my class schedule in order. Some of my classes were all over the place and I need to review all the requirements and such, however now everything is finally back on track. I have chosen my courses and even started working on my finally projects. Anyways, other than that the weather has been extremely gloomy so I wasn't able to do an outfit post but lucky yesterday the weather was extremely warm and sunny, so I took advantage of the beautiful weather to do an outfit post featuring my recent obsession. My recent obsession has been prints, I have been wearing printed tops and printed pants, however this particular piece of item of Aupie has definitely won my vote as the best pair of printed piece ever. I have been looking for the perfect piece of tropical inspire item so when I received this particular pair of harem pant from Aupie, I was over the top. I just immediately feel in love with it, but sadly I had to wait for a few days until the weather got warmer to rock this outfit combination. So, what do you guys think about printed clothing pieces and what do you thing about this look?

Well, I hope you all have an amazing weekend and also, I have hosting a international giveaway from CiChicso definitely check it out (who knows you might be the next winner).

Remember Talia Joy Castellano?

She's the girl who touched the lives of thousands through social media. Her make up tutorial on Youtube earned her 1,192,000 subscribers and 517,000 fans on Facebook. In addition, she told the story of her fight with cancer through vlogs in an insightful and inspiring way. During The Ellen Show, she was asked how does she keep her spirits up? Her answer; “What can I do? Be depressed? A little fish once told me, just keep swimming.”

Talia earned her wings on July 16th after six and half year battle with childhood cancer. August 18th would have been Talia's 14th birthday.

Talia contacted Romwe to join their fashion Vloggers Team last April. Through this, Talia and Romwe's design team designed several leggings together. Talia have always said that “make up is my wig”. Hence, they came up with makeup-inspired images to be printed on the leggings. However, Talia was not able to enjoy these leggings as she was too sick when the leggings were already manufactured.

To commemorate Talia's great memories, Romwe will donate $5 to Talia's favorite charity, the BASE Camp Children's Foundation, for every pair of leggings sold. Here are some of the designs that they came up with: Lip-print Black-white Leggings, Colorful Lip-print White Leggings, Lipstick Print White Leggings. This event will start from September 27 until October 11 of this year.

Please support this project by Romwe!

Today was my last day of my first week of class for the fall 2013 semester. So far, I am pretty pleased with all my professor and courses, plus most importantly I love the fact that I am done all my classes by 2 pm except for Wednesday, I finish at 9 pm. This semester all my classes are well planned out and my only complaint would be regarding the work load. However if I need to succeed in life they are required to go through these stressful moments. Also, other than school yesterday was the Masterchef finale (I am not sure how many of you actually watch this show), but I find it to be relaxing especially since it's food. After I watched the show last night I started questioning myself regarding the show. By the show, Masterchef is cooking show based on home cook and their ability to cook meals featured in high end restaurants. I have a small problem with the pressure test theme in the show, I mean do you thing high end chef like Gordon Ramsay are put through a timing process when they are cooking in their restaurants. Well, I don't think so!! Even though I enjoy watching this show, yesterday while watching the finale it struck to me that the idea of the pressure test in this show is definitely questioning. My solution for this is that maybe next year, I would like to have one of the three head judges for each pressure test to join the competitors by cooking a mystery box/pressure test meal with them. Anyway, this post is definitely all over the place, I started off by taking about my first week of school and end up with Masterchef Season three. Anyways, in today's outfit post I am finally wearing a peplum inspired item. Over the months the peplum trend has taken over the whole fashion world however for some weird reason I haven't been fond of the look. But, I decided to take it slow by finally getting myself a pair of Lace Peplum Blazer from OASAP. I love the end look of this outfit and also, I wore all clover related jewellery pieces from Bellast. Other than that, this outfit is literally like a uniform for me, because during my stressful days I tend to stick with the black and white combination. That gives me a great idea, I think I should a do a post featuring all my black/white outfit look combinations (and trust me I have a long list of items). Anyway, that's all for now!!

Take care everyone and I will be back again soon with another post.

Cheers!!

Well, it's not officially fall but it definitely feels like it in Toronto, Canada. All last week I spent my afternoon stuck at home trying to find something activity to do, since the weather has been so cold and gloomy. Even though, I am a huge fan of winter I still struck with the transition between summer and fall. Especially this year, I felt like the weather hasn't been on my side, one day it cool and the next day its super hot. So, instead of packing light, I normally end up carrying an extra hoodie and an umbrella for safety. Since fall it hear, I wanted to keep my first fall look simple with a casual sweater by pairing it up with pants. But instead of keeping the look simple I ended up mixing two different materials and patterns together. The sweater gives the look an edgy feel, because of the rivet studs and also the boots make it look casual too. Plus, the pants gives the whole outfit a chic vibes, it looks like I actually took effort to create this look. Finally, as usually I felt my hair down but this time I tried to keep it in a messy feel, since I didn't want to look overall prepped up. Furthermore, as usually I kept my make up simple by wearing black eyeliner and instead of a bright lip gloss I when for a pale lipstick. Since I will be heading back to school on Tuesday, I am try to go back to my old school makeup routine; which is literally wearing no makeup at all. Well, other than that my day has been awesome and on Friday I ended up watching the movie Chennai Express. For the last few weeks I have been wanted to watch it and sadly I was always too busy to go. But thankful my sister and my grandma decided to drag me along with them to watch it. Definitely an amazing movie with both, Tamil and Hindi language (including English sub). I really love it so much and I really want it watch it again. So, far that's the only interesting thing that occurred in the last few days and also, I will be posting another outfit post soon.

Also, here is a quick promo from Romwe
