Oh Brighter Days!

Yesterday, I got the chance to shoot the Oh Brighter Days! collection for Heima designed by Googly Gooeys. I just couldn't pass up the invitation to shoot. Everything inside Heima was so picturesque! Plus, most of my idols were in the event. I kind of hoped they painted on the spot just so we could see some art in action!

I'm so down for more shoots like this! In case you want to do a shoot, just hit me up on any of my social media sites (@AldeaAllana) or through aldeaallana@gmail.com. Also, I'm finally on Bloglovin'!

Life Lately v.1

I turned a year older so I bought myself a new watercolor palette. I upgraded my student-grade 8-color palette to the 16-color palette. If that doesn't scream maturity, then I don't know what does! But in all honesty, I’m dreading adulthood because I honestly don’t want to be held accountable for any of the choices I’ll make. I just want to avoid any form of responsibility. The best birthday gift would’ve been the abolition of my strictly imposed curfew (19 years in but I still have to be home by 10PM).

On that same week, I facilitated a Leadership training with a few of my batchmates and upperclassmen. It was really weird getting called "Miss" by 7th graders but it felt so humbling to have shared my experience as a student leader back in high school. I have no clue how I managed to facilitate all day despite having only an hour of sleep.

Also, I really got into writing on my journal with Halsey playing in the background. Is There Somewhere is the perfect song to listen to when it's past 3AM and you're alone with your ~*feeligngz yuck gross ew*~ 

The frequent trips to Pearl Drive and Shangri-la have turned mundane but my friends make my trips superkaduper fun! If I'm not in Pearl or Shang, I’m practically rotting my summer vacation away at home. As much as I want to write, there’s just nothing I can purge out of my brain!!! I feel like I’ve been drained of all my creative juices but luckily, I came across Camie Juan’s blog and picked up the “Life Lately” prompt. Along with this, my friend Ida tagged me in one of her blog posts. Let me just answer these questions like those passé Multiply surveys!
