It's been a real hot minute since I last posted, isn't it? Don't fret, I have not been lazing around during quarantine and as a matter of fact, I have been quite productive with getting myself in shape and in the right mindset. So my apologies if this corner seem to have been abandoned. I was just taking my time to reset my life goals, priorities, and realising what makes me happy every single day. This blog is definitely still a part of it all.</font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><a name='more'></a></span><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">So what have I been up to? Well, first off I decided to revive my youtube channel!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="georgia">I know, it feels like I never abandoned it in the first place anyway because from time to time I was still uploading travel vlogs. To me though, that wasn't really about up-keeping but more like storing of memories, like an album, where I could look back from time to time and rewatch old clips. These days, I'm making a conscious effort to create content and videos that are detailed and insightful, and (hopefully) entertaining with the goal inspiring others and sharing what I learned in fashion and in styling throughout my whole adventure with you guys in this blog. You know, more lookbooks, styling videos, outfit ideas, etc. in video form. So yes, this blog is definitely the root of it all. Consider me just branching out. The image set from in this post is actually from my latest lookbook video so if you wanna go watch<a href="https://youtu.be/gAKW0_XOqPo" target="_blank"> how I style my current overalls collection, click here</a>.</font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="georgia"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="georgia"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="georgia"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWVTy7qZBI9ZmCS5SlOW06AsIcbcRn0MRa0s0Q8f2EQpiDHzujMpDFA_w9raCwFtO7uJ0nNf7q4TY2aHJmxCa-qGswn-qW-Dv19f0HpBJ6oHIoYOFk_42UvAkBtoKWStkEBzXF-URcgDLp/d/Carla+03.jpg" /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="georgia"><img border="0" data-original-height="6000" data-original-width="4000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguoXarcasULsdo-9dw6no5oqj3dTKBUFyiTTYKm7397yoV9fE0ujs63QWcEK3d-xRyEDpELRQeGP5JUNpMdbcwXiHXIfICu-EuctSf9rdF37Jax9swo1Bo9TYjOyXhThPyCTjZnJVJvYGt/d/Carla+06.jpg" /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="georgia"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="georgia">What else? I've re-started my fitness journey. Since lockdown started here in Malaysia, I wanted to make use of the time at home to work on bettering my mind and body. That goes hand in hand, you know, and I feel that working out regularly does that for me. It helps me keep my mood swings in check and of course, my eating habit in check. Don't get me wrong, I still eat junk food. A lot by health standards. But I'm working to reduce that to moderate so we'll get there.</font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="georgia"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="georgia">Now I can go on about this topic but I think that can be best reserved for another post.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A few months back when I have just been in KL around a few weeks, my family came to visit and we stayed a few nights in Genting Highlands. I took these photos then when my brothers and I took a stroll around the premises of Resorts World, cruised through the arcades, and binged on Malaysian food.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Oh what I would do to see my family again soon. They are back in Macau, if you must know, thankfully all safe and healthy. The way the Macau government is handling this whole pandemic situation is very commendable and even though I used to always complain about Macau being small and boring and there's no room for growth and such, this is one of the rare times that I would say I'm happy to call it home. Frankly I'm not one who gets homesick easily. But being stuck in my apartment here in KL for nearly 3 weeks now, not that I'm complaining because yes I recognise my being privileged to be able to stay home while others can't, I can't believe that I'm saying I'm feeling incredibly homesick at this point. It feels like it's been ages since I last saw my family and friends back home. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The only thing that keeps me kind of sane at the moment is having Pierre around, thankfully; and getting creative juices flowing again with all these content catching up because indeed, I still do have a lot of image backlogs. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've also been trying to get back to uploading videos on youtube for the fun of it. Takes me back to my old room in Macau which isn't the case any longer since my family moved to a new place. Sighs. All these reminiscing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Anyway, speaking of youtube, I did VLOG on the said visit to Genting Highlands so if you wanna watch it, scroll to the end of this post or <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Usdi9pBYKuU&t=293s" target="_blank">head to my channel to watch by clicking here</a>. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Genting Highlands is actually a hill located outside of KL, about an hour drive from where I live (an hour and half from the city give or take). My brothers and I got there from my place by grabcar which cost around 80RM. We then checked in to a hotel called Theme Park Hotel which is a part of the Resorts World Genting Complex. It's a family hotel and the room I booked for us was for a 6-pax family. It had 3 double/queen beds, 2 of which were part of a bunk. It's good value for money actually, that being it easily gets fully booked.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now, you don't have to stay within the complex as there are plenty of Airbnb in the area. But Genting being a hill and all, it could be tricky to get around unless you drive. Or if you don't mind hailing grab service every single time you have to get from one place to another, then fine. Anyway we only planned to roam around the complex so we chose to stay in. But outside the complex, I hear there are plenty of other things to do such as strawberry picking, spa, and all. I personally haven't gone so I can't really recommend anything else other than shop, dine, and play in RWG.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">But I can say this much, Genting can get pretty chilly specially at night. Anytime during the day, it could also be hazy as clouds would pass through. So if you are planning to go there, make sure to bring a light jacket.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">The best part, frankly what I liked the most about Genting, is the Premium Outlets. There's so many notable brands like Coach, Burberry, Furla, and items for steal that it's hard not to get pulled in. My mom shopped 'til she dropped of course but thankfully I was able to contain myself. The first time around, at least. But right around the Christmas holidays, I went on a day trip just to shop the sales. It was all worth it!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">Anyway, that's all for now. Pray, hope this pandemic would soon be over and we can all go back to our normal routines. Though I don't think things will ever go back to the old normal anyway. But I only hope to go back to Macau and see my family as soon as this is all over.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">For now, I'll just reminisce.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">Stay safe, ya'll!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hey ya'll! It's been 2 weeks since the movement control order was implemented here in KL but I know it's been way longer than that for some of our neighbouring countries, like I know it's been over 2 months in Macau so I hope that wherever you're reading this from, you're safe and sound.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I took these photos the weekend before the lockdown, funnily enough the first weekend among supposedly many that Pierre and I had planned on using as an excuse to getaway from the kampung we live in, and explore other parts of KL, or Malaysia for that matter. We had so much places to visit that we planned on visiting. But they remain, for now, still that. Plans. Sigh.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Not that I'm complaining, don't get me wrong. I know we're very lucky to be at home, albeit not together in one house but certainly very close; while others remain at the front line, servicing the rest of society. No, I'm not complaining at all. The situation just sucks while the future holds so much uncertainty more than ever.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Looking back, I'm just so glad that I got to do a lot of things with Pierre and more than ever I appreciate the kind of privilege we have; of being able to travel together, spend time together, because now we all know being together with people you care about is a hot commodity that you can't afford even with money. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyway, I don't want go in too deep with this post. I just wanted to share with ya'll these photos that we took on that one hopeful we weekend that we went to Putrajaya.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Putrajaya is another city located outside KL, a mere 1 hour drive from where we live. I've always wanted to go there to visit the instagram-famous Putra Mosque. Having seen so much photos of it and in person, one can't really wonder why it became an IG spot with all the millennial pink going on. Other than seeing a real mosque from the inside for the very first time in my life, frankly that's the main reason why I wanted to go in the first place. But I can tell you now that I more than the colours, I really appreciated the intricate details of the architecture, particularly the ceiling inside of the mosque.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It being a scared place, there was a dress code that everyone is expected to follow. So women who aren't in hijabs are required to wear this robe that I have on to be allowed entry. Men don't necessarily have to wear the robe unless they're wearing shorts and/or thank tops. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Also, the mosque is an active one meaning there are visiting hours, and prayer hours where visitors are not allowed entry; and there are restricted areas where visitors are not allowed in. So if you're planning to visit, mind the timing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Just outside of the mosque, below the bridge is some sort of food court. There's also a park right below overlooking the river and has the perfect view of the mosque from the side. It's the best place to take a photo if you want that view of the mosque. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B9TNUf7AS3r/" target="_blank">It's where I took this instagram photo of mine</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's Day 4 of the 14 day lockdown here in Kuala Lumpur but I can't believe I haven't opened this corner of the world wide web to check in with you guys. I'm putting Tiktok to blame. Ever since I downloaded the app before the lockdown as I've been seeing all these fancy Tiktok dance videos all over Instagram, out of curiosity went ahead and made myself an account, I have been addicted. So if you wonder what I've been doing the past three days of self-isolation - upping my Tiktok game! I'm inspired to create some fun styling videos now that I kind of know the app a little bit better so hoping I'll be able to share some over there and on IG as well. In case ya'll wanna follow along, username is the same @misscarlaviolet.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Speaking of styling, I wanted to share this easy outfit combination that I kind of go for whenever I travel to a tropical or warm place. I pretty much used this outfit combo on our recent visit to Singapore, which is a wrap blouse and high-waist shorts. Just throw on some sunglasses, a pair of sneakers, and you're ready to stroll.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Both of these tops are from Zara. I got them a few years ago on sale but I'm pretty sure it's easy to find something similar online whether from Zalora, Asos, etc. These were really trendy sometime ago and still are these days, but I've seen the way "influencers" style them nowadays are really creative. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Personally, I like tying the parts that go around the waist into a side-ribbon than actually wrapping them around my waist. It feels more comfortable that way; easier to breathe in, and the bigger ribbon that it creates look cuter.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Back to the topic of lockdown.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Was supposed to film and shoot a lookbook video today with Pierre (gosh, we haven't done so in a really long time); but alas, it rained. That will then be the activity for tomorrow. But, the can't stop me from filming some fun clips for Tiktok so that's what I'll probably be doing after this post.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh, and uploading a new video, the one from our visit to Putrajaya. So if you're bored and running out of stuff to do while social distancing, then <a href="https://www.youtube.com/carlaflorendo" target="_blank">head to my youtube channel to watch videos now!</a></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There's not much to be said about Singapore that perhaps I haven't said already from my previous trips there. And even though it's my first time visiting Gardens by the Bay and Haji Lane, I'm pretty sure I'm already late in the game telling ya'll how majestic the skytrees are, and how visually pleasing to look at the street arts and murals spread around Haji Lane. I'm sure these are in the top spots to visit while in Singapore by travel sites or guide. And perhaps top recommended by bloggers and vloggers alike. Well, I wouldn't disagree to that.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Pierre and I recently went to Singapore for a weekend and got the chance to visit one of TeamLab's iconic installations, at the ArtScience museum of Singapore. It's really travelling and getting to see art spaces like these that really gets me inspired to creating anything from shooting with Pierre again to filming and editing. That being said, I did vlog during the trip which I will share with you very soon.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Not to spoil the whole exhibition or anything but obviously you'd already have an idea what Future World (where Art meets Science) is all about if you're familiar, firstly, with TeamLab's works; and secondly, if you're visiting or have visited Singapore, you'd have seen on your research (very likely on Instagram) all these cool images taken by other visitors. I pretty much find out about all these things by looking through Instagram geotags so... but otherwise <a href="https://www.teamlab.art/it/e/artsciencemuseum/" target="_blank">you can find out more about it here</a>.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our personal favourite installations are definitely The Crystal Universe where the above images where taken; The Universe of Water Particles and Transcending Boundaries, interactive and all; and The Lightball Orchestra.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But you knowing me, I'm drawn to anything colourful from light shows to street murals. Everything within the walls of this interactive Art-Science world is a thing of amusement that brought out the inner child in Pierre and I. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_qxB7Q0fwLY2KxFJWpKAhX0j53tDAu_3iTrDixrdGhXukNTH0hyphenhyphenf9DIhPIh2dtKuCv9DWFqTP9i65Htg4daNGf4eS5NN1lyCGdagy7NlKtCjerHjKnHp-rwUAnHLz0uqjRxGngT9bYWn_/s1600/Seminyak+01.jpg" /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nearly a year has passed since I was in Bali with Pierre but time seems to have passed us by without really realising how quickly it went. And here I am just about to share with you this batch of images that we took, reminiscing while I'm at it, remembering all the beautiful sceneries; the sound of the waves crashing as we looked on the horizon waiting for the sun to set.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The corona virus that's sweeping allover the world today isn't boding well for the tourism of Bali at the moment, and for a lot of Asian countries for that matter. This worries me. In a few months' time Pierre and I will be back to this wonderful island with our families and friends to celebrate the biggest event of our lives but everything is reliant on the situation of this pandemic. I know it's still along way ahead and we've got time on our side but I guess the planner and worrier in me just can't help it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This isn't the way I imagined I would share the news of where our wedding would take place. Two years ago I would have planned a dedicated post with accompanying images, most probably the outcome of a prenup pictorial. I still want it that way. But since moving to KL, I failed to realise until now that I've been changing; turning into a person that I don't really recognise. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Don't get me wrong, I'm still the same Carla that started this blog so many years ago. I still have the same energy, drive and passion, albeit poured into other things than getting creative and doing things for myself. Like blogging. Taking pictures. Dressing up. Travelling for fun. I think I've been in denial for the past months, unable to accept the fact that those have slowly faded away while I succeeded in other aspects of my life. The only thing that's keeping this site and my instagram account up and running is my inner creative, desperately holding on to the history of creating all these.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My peers consider me lucky for having a job that takes me to places and allows me to be in a position where I don't answer to a lot of people. And I don't disagree. For the most part, I'm thankful to be given this opportunity at my age. I know others have had to work long hours and way harder than I did to get to the position I am in. I don't deny that. But deep down I now know that I wasn't fully prepared to face everything that came with it. Spiderman got it right you know. With great power comes great responsibility. In my defence, I don't think I'm unqualified. I'm actually doing pretty well, thank you. The real question is though - do I really want this kind of lifestyle? If it meant unconsciously giving up all the things that I used to do and used to love doing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I don't know the answer. And I won't know in a few weeks' time too. But the fact that I'm doubting my interest makes it an immediate 60/40 that I'm not willing to give up the kind of life that I lived longer than now. If that makes sense at all.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyway. I yield. Pretend that I'm back in Bali, away from the business of city work life, safe within the walls of our private villa in the heart of Uluwatu. Calm and peaceful.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And if I did go out, it would be to one of these Art Markets. My eyes and heart filled appreciation for the artsy fartsy knick knacks that Bali has quite become known for. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Or we'd go to one of the forests or temples to monkey-watch. Take lots of instagram-worthy photos because that's just what I'd like to do. Not having to think about any responsibilities or anyone else. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Browsing through my archived post drafts I'm reminded of the excitement that I used to feel preparing each entry to share with the world through this little corner of mine in cyberspace; of being able to look back at the memories I made, with Pierre, be it travelling or the day to day #OOTD shoots we used to do. I never thought I'd be able to step away from all that. I guess my takeaway from this situation I'm is that yeah, maybe I can forget for a minute but I know I'll always have that in me that I will always keep going back.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's hoping to making more documented memories.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A couple of months back, the company that I work for arranged for us to go on a vacation to Phuket. It's something that's always been something rumoured around the office but never really thought would happen until it did. And with that I can say us who went on that trip can consider ourselves the lucky bunch because with our teams growing in size, I don't think another trip like this would ever happen again.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We stayed at a private 10-bedroom fully-staffed villa in the southern part of the island, just in front of the beach. The package came with several amenities including a 1-hour massage for every person, daily breakfast, and of course full access to all the facilities including the steam room, jacuzzi, billiards, and the private swimming full. To say that I wasn't expecting this kind of accommodation setup would be a lie because the truth is I know that the company set aside a budget for this trip way before it even had dates. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We were there for 3 days, 1 of which was dedicated to doing team building games and activities inside the villa. I don't usually partake in competitions (unless I'm competing against myself) but I discovered during this trip that I am actually a very competitive person.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The other two days, we went out to experience a little of what Phuket has to offer.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We did a full-day boat trip on this party boat called Hypeboat. In the morning, it took us to a small island for some beach-time. After a few hours, we headed back to the deck and the boat took took us to a snorkelling spot. There, we got to swim with fishes and other sea-creatures before the boat went on full-party mode in time for the sunset. In between, lunch and cocktails were served on deck. And for the rest of the time, we basked under the sun on these really comfy beanbags with a beer on hand. It was a really relaxing experience I should say. But with all the stress that work brought upon us just few months before the trip, I think the trip was much deserved, haha.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy New Year!!! I can't believe I've been gone for over three months, gaahhhh. This is by far the longest I've ever been away from this little corner of cyberspace but to be honest, hello strangers! I can't say I regret it, though. Boy I've had a very very very busy 2019 almost to a breaking point and I badly needed to recenter and refocus myself towards the end of the year. But you know what, it was all for good. 2019 year was the year I grew a lot as a person and in my career so despite the ups and downs, moving and living between cities, sacrificing a few important things, and wearing multiple hats, I wouldn't have had it any other way. It's definitely a year top and looking forward to doing just that this year! In fact, 2020 is already looking so much better because Pierre has moved to Kuala Lumpur, right here, with me! I know, I know, so much has happened since my last entry but I'll find some time to tell you all about it in the coming days. For now though, I'd like to share visual flashbacks of what you might have missed while I was being a busy bee.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, London.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I wouldn't share much about what I did work-wise but all the time in between, I was able to run around the city and revisit some of the places Pierre and I went to last we where there. Portobello Market in Notting Hill was of course one on the list of places to sneak out to and luckily, my friend-turned-colleague Clark and I got to visit on our last day before flying back to Kuala Lumpur.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">While on the hunt for souvenirs and such, I came across this old man who was selling film cameras in really good condition and I got myself one on bargain. Made for the best purchase that day as I didn't need to buy any other souvenirs save for extra film rolls. It's what I used to take these dreamy retro-looking photos, certainly beating my perfectly curated and edited Instagram images.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Funny that I wasn't the only one into old knick-knacks. Clark was pulled-away by all these vintage stamps that she apparently collects. I was quite surprised upon realising that there are still people who collect stamps. But then again, there are still people selling them like there are still film rolls readily available. I guess some things will never fade no matter how old. Makes me happy to think so.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then of course we struck a pose in front of this famous bookstore around the corner... can you guess which movie this was featured on? It's a no-brainer, really. I don't usually fall for tourist traps but I while I try to hide it, deep inside I'm a hopeless romantic and I thought the movie was romantic so you know, I just had to. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, I admit that I get to enjoy travelling for work and the perks that come with it but I can't tell you enough just how exhausting it can get too. Don't believe so much that what you see on my social is everything there is to my travels because like everyone else, I generally only share the good side of things and not necessarily the bad side. It's not that I don't want to, it's just human nature - we tend to show only the good and hide the bad. It ticks me off when I try to explain my side of things to people who only want to see what they want to see. But anyway, I'm done with that. Here's to sharing what's real. Just like this mirror-selfie of how I really look like running around for work, jeans and hoodie clad, make-up free, with glasses on. This is the other side of me, ya'll. 2020, let's bring it!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Let's begin my Phuket travel series with this set of visuals taken behind our beautiful villa. Just excited to share with you this two-piece swimsuit that I got from H&M because they're so slimming (at least, that's how they made me feel). I haven't felt confident wearing a two-piece in while and this just brought me out of that shell. Perhaps it's also because I've been eating quite clean and been working out regularly the last couple of weeks that I'm feeling all so positive about my body. The swimsuit was just the icing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyhow, I had such an amazing time during this trip that I can't wait to share with you more visuals. Let me get back to editing now so I can get the images up sooner.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Been wanting to share these images with you'll for so long and if you follow me on Instagram, you might have already seen some of them. But I held back as this is supposed to accompany a video that we shot for this particular collaboration with "Shoot and Chop".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A little background, "Shoot and Chop" is an online media that publish video content on Facebook. They cover lifestyle from local activities to food to creative individuals in Macau. So this collaboration was supposed to showcase how I (or Penguin more in this case, actually) take my outfit photos for Instagram from the styling thought and how I pick my backgrounds, etc. and these images are supposedly the result of that process.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyway, I really don't know when the video will be up, or if it ever will be as I have not heard back from the team in a while so I might as well just share the results with you.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I picked out three different locations to shoot at, mostly around the Taipa area, and one in Macau, Tap Seac area. Ideally, I wouldn't do that if I were to shoot for this corner of cyberspace unless I planned out multiple outfits for the day. My thought process is usually to match what I'm wearing with my surrounding so I come up with the outfit first then Pierre and I would just casually walk around our neighborhood and look for a corner or street that we think goes with my outfit. Sometimes, I have this vibe that I'm going for, like if I feel like wearing full-on streetwear items, then I definitely would take it to the streets and shoot somewhere urban-ish. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For this shoot, however, I just picked out the usual areas that I find interesting and am always inclined to go to regardless of what outfit I'm wearing. The Albergue place and Taipa Village are my favorites because both places are always just so vibrant, full of colors, and full of life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And here I'm just wearing something I would pick up if I wanna be comfortable walking the whole day, but at the same time still, look cool. Oversize everything is my thing but I kept this baggy button-up shirt open and wore a cute tank top to juxtapose everything else loose that's going on. Then I chose some classic pair of white Reeboks to complete the look.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The weekend prior to last, I went to to Hong Kong to get onboard Genting Dream Cruises for work - essentially making for my very first "real" cruise experience. A little backstory, I've been on a cruise before (on business trip as well), but it's not something that I could consider a cruise being that the ship was too small (it had only 1 restaurant and a casino), and it only sails overnight from Hong Kong to International waters and back.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This time around, the ship was much much bigger as we sailed for two nights. There were lots of facilities onboard. There were a handful of restaurants, an arcade, a sports deck, rock-climbing, a club, not to mention the gigantic slides on the main pool deck. Finding out about this, I was low-key excited of course. Aside from the meetings that I had to attend, I was certain there plenty of things I'd be able to do while on board.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So we got on from the port in Hong Kong (I believe it was in Kowloon but I can't bee too sure) late in the afternoon, after which the ship left at around 9pm. First things first, had to check my cabin. Fortunately for me I was the only female among my colleagues so I didn't have to share my cabin with anyone. That being, I was put on one of the upper deck rooms; the ones with bigger interiors and a balcony. Pretty stoked to start the trip on a positive note. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Casino meetings down, I finally had time to explore. Well. Did the cruise meet my expectations? Hmm. Let's just say that not everything is as good as advertised. Most of the facilities were closed if not private; and it was catering mostly to Chinese clients that a lot of the entertainment did not catch my attention. Still, I managed to have a little fun. In fact, I filmed while I was at it so yes, this post is titled with VLOG.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I think the best part about this trip is that I was able to take photos despite it being too hot out. There weren't a lot of people on the cruise so I had some areas all to myself where I was able to fool around in front of my camera. The blue skies made for such a perfect contrast against the mostly-white and orange theme going on around the cruise so I'm satisfied. If you know me well, a good set of photos is enough to make my trip a success. And that it did!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I managed to get the video out in time, yay!!! So as mentioned in my previous post, I vlogged our little weekend getaway and it's up on youtube now for your viewing pleasure.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We went to the night market at Pasar Malam Batu 4 (they call it the weekend night market), which was... an experience. It wasn't unpleasant, just a different and I mentioned the reason why on the video so go watch it if you please (yes, I'm blatantly self-promoting at the moment!); after which we found the Port Dickson beach just right across the market on our first afternoon.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The following day was our beach day which is the day we went to <i>Teluk Kemang</i> beach. We had reservations on getting our swimsuits on seeing that most of the visitors are Muslims that barely anyone was wearing swimsuits. I ended up wearing shorts over my one-piece to swim and do water activities.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Speaking of, there are loads of water activities at this beach. And being there already, of course, Clark and I had to try one or two. We were able to capture bits of it which, obviously is also in the vlog. Then we just spent some time trying local snacks.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On our last day, we were running low on cash so we decided to skip the other beaches and head straight to KL. But not after having another round of Milo Kepal (a local dessert that we came to love), and some streetside brunch.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Again, not much to say as I'd rather you watched the video so here we are. Hope you enjoy it, make sure to give it a thumbs up if you do and subscribe puh-leaseeee!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Back in KL after a pretty acceptable length of stay in Macau fully recharged and rejuvenated! I'm now ready to take on new adventures once again. But as we are still experiencing downtime with work, and with the recent long weekend holidays in Malaysia, Clark and I found ourselves googling the nearest beach accessible from KL for a short weekend girls getaway.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After skimming through a couple of blogs, we came across Port Dickson which quite frankly is not the best of beaches there is but... it's the closest we got. Being from Macau where we don't necessarily require a driving license and all, both of us don'r drive. And so our best option is to take grab out to the nearest destination we could find.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Booked our room in <a href="https://www.booking.com/hotel/my/oyo-1000-mesra.en-gb.html" target="_blank">OYO 1000 Mesra Boutique Hotel</a> on a Friday, packed an overnighter, and we were set for a Saturday afternoon drive. It took around 2 hours and RM180 until we reached tho town proper where checked in to our hotel. Alas, it wasn't the best. In our defence, we did want to book a different hotel but it was full for the weekend. This was the second option which we didn't do much research on so. You get pay you pay for. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I won't talk much about it as I'd rather you watch because yes, I did VLOG while we were there. The video is in the works and will be up this weekend on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/carlaflorendo" target="_blank">the YT channel</a> so stay tuned! In the meantime, here I am sharing some of the snaps we took at the beach.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So there are several beaches in Port Dickson and we initially planned on visiting a couple of them. Conveniently, the one closest to our hotel was apparently the most popular one (and the most populated one at that too) - <i>P<a href="https://www.portdickson.info/teluk-kemang.htm" target="_blank">antai Teluk Kemang</a></i>. I'd originally wanted to visit another beach called <i>Cahaya Negeri</i> which according to reviews was pretty quiet and picturesque. Found out later it's a 15km drive out of the town proper so it's a good thing we didn't push for it. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We ended up just spending one full day in <i><a href="https://www.portdickson.info/teluk-kemang.htm" target="_blank">Teluk Kemang</a></i> mainly because of the water activities. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Clark and I did two water activities - one I know is called fly-fish wherein you lay flat and hold on to this inflatable thing and get pulled by a speedboat; and the other one is similar except that this one we were sitting down. It's safe to say the ride out our muscles to the test as we held on for our dear lives. But it was ill in good fun. It's been a very long time that I did water activities that I already forgot how much fun it was.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The rest of the day, we just lounged in our cheaply bought straw mats that we bought from one of the beach stalls, and basked under the hazy sun in between sampling local desserts (Milo addiction in the form of <i>kepal</i>, anyone?) and jumping into the water for a good soak. I'd say swim but in fact we didn't swim at all. How could you when the water is dark and the waves too strong? </span></div>

</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'm currently in Macau, enjoying a full 10 days off; free of work and responsibilities and I couldn't be happier. Despite my efforts in trying to be productive while I'm here (hello, errands!), it's actually been a very long time that mind has not been occupied by work! I've nearly forgotten other things that used to fill it like getting creative; brainstorming content ideas; learning new hobbies that I alway then put on hold. I think it's safe to say that I'm finding my way back as I am inspired once again to do something; for this platform; for the youtube channel; for myself.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Two months back I received an invitation from one of Macau's prominent social media channels to do a collaboration for one episode of a show they're doing about photography/social media content creation. I've long postponed my answer having no solid timeframe as to when can I fully commit to shooting. This time around I felt that I needed to something fun while I'm back and so on a whim I decided to just go for it. Pierre and I met with the two lovely ladies (you'll know soon enough) who are in charge of the segment and just like that we filmed for that particular episode. It didn't feel like a chore unlike the past few months that when I've been posting quite sporadically. Maybe this is it, once again. This is it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have a few more days before I head back to KL and I've already made a decision to just enjoy the rest of the weekend without pressuring myself to do create content nor to think about work. But Pierre and I did shoot some outfit photos which I will share with you'll soon enough. If I do feel like filming then perhaps I will. If not then, no big deal.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For now, I leave you with this set of visuals that Pierre and I took when I was last here. I've managed to change my hair color during this trip so the next you'll see me, I'm back to my original black mane. Perhaps it comes with age that I feel less experimental but more like classy. I know, shocking as it sounds, I'm all about clean and simple right now. Or maybe it's a phase. But then again I never stick to one particular style so who knows. Oh well.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hola! Look who's back from the dead! Ha! Seriously though, that's exactly how I feel right now - like a zombie.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I just got back from a long work trip to London, a very exhausting one at that, right after which I went straight to Hua Hin for a mini-vacation for Penguin's birthday. Again, not complaining about the fact that I am constantly traveling but god does it take a toll on my overall health. I am now in a state that I call recovery mode and the truth is, am not doing so well in it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My body is physically back in Kuala Lumpur but my mind is still in London, and my head and soul are in Macau. I need to reconnect all of my beings and be in one place at the same time. A trip back home would be good for starters and am praying that I can arrange one very, very soon.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These photos were taken the last time I was there and I can't believe it's been nearly 3 months gone since. I've missed blogging; typing away my feelings and senseless rants while trying to look cute in 'fits and all. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The rest of the year is looking positive though. We've got no big events lined up until the end of the year, plus a company trip is in the works. I hear it's going to be on an exotic island somewhere in Southeast Asia. Knowing the company's "sky is the limit" motto, it's bound to be a real treat =)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Enough about life, let's talk about this 'fit that I've shared allover Instagram before I completely forgot that I had a set of images ready to be published in this little corner of the blogosphere.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My mom bought me these trousers, something that I'd never buy myself but ended up loving it completely. I've been wearing it nonstop two months ago right when I got them, to a point that my housemate asked if I still changed pants at all. They are just super comfy. It made me realize I have taste issues - not that I don't trust my fashion taste, heck I like to think I have great taste. But too often I pick out basic pieces that are "cool" or have an edge; or statement pieces that really stand out, that I overlook the simple stuff that is useful for everyday use. Oh well.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So anyway, I wore these trousers with this oversize shirt that I borrowed (without permission) from my brother. I was going for that soft hip-hop kinda look plus the graphics on the tee went so well with the millennial pink color of my trousers so, why not.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Finally, an outfit post. And a lookbook video to boot, yay!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've been avoiding shopping lately for the reason that I don't get to wear my clothes and shoot outfits as often as I want to. Event dodged the sales when I was in Macau. But my mom, ever the hoarder, bought a few cute stuff just because they were on sale. Never mind who gets to wear them, me or her. Of course it ended up that I had to get most of them because they won't fit her. Truth be told I love my mom but she doesn't realise sometimes that she's not the same size as she used to be (thank goodness she doesn't read my blog so it's safe to put this out here). So I was in luck when I went back home without planning any outfits, I had new clothes to play around with.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">These pants are one of the said items and I got them in pink as well. I wore the pink ones in another outfit which I'll share with ya'll later on but if you do want to see it already, then go on and watch the lookbook video at the end of this post.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I left behind this Bruno Mars shirt on my previous visit which was cool so then I got to wear it with these pants making for the perfect, laid-back AF but still cool fit. Threw on some trusty chucks, uber cool shades, sling bag, and good to go.</span></div>

It's been a while since we both filmed something for the blog and for the YT channel and I missed that so even if we didn't have much time and the weather was a killer, we still went for it. Hope you like it. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />So I know it's been months since my trip to Bali with Penguin but he recently just got his film rolls developed which included shots from the said trip so I thought to go back, reminisce, and share them with you guys.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These were taken on our last day, essentially the most chill day we've ever had among all our travels together. We pretty much spent the whole day at the beach - 2 different beaches in Bali might I add.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the morning we went to Pandawa Beach which was in the Uluwatu area. A little less touristy because the area is far off from the center and a bit pricier but it was really nice. Had our driver take us to a local place for lunch before we made our way to Seminyak, the center of all happenings in Bali.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One in Pierre's list of must visits is Potato Head Beach Club. The influence of instagram won over so had to find a way to get there somehow. We were staying in Uluwatu area to put some context so it was about an hour's drive getting there, give or take depending on traffic. But we made it regardless and it was the best decision we ever made on this trip.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The club is pricey, as expected. But the vibe is all we're for. Music selection was lit, the setup was made for perfect relaxation, palm trees surrounding the grass lounge overlooking the beach, it was like being in an Adam Sandler movie (because you know, his movies are always set in an exotic island vacation somewhere). I just loved it. The best part was watching the blue skies turn pink to orange to purple as the sun was setting. It felt surreal. Magical.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's been officially a month since I moved to Kuala Lumpur. Well, a little over a month as I went back to Macau for a bittersweet week for my visa run. How time flies. And yet I still feel like I'm floating around, haven't completely settled in despite the fact that half of my wardrobe from Macau is neatly placed in my new condominium room. The trip back home didn't help much realising just how much I missed my dear old Macau, perhaps not its bipolar Summer climate, but everything else. The food, the place, the littleness of it. Sigh. But I am back and I can't dwell on being homesick so instead, let's focus on the good sides of living in a new city.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For one, there are places to explore and that I did with my colleagues a little over a week ago. I've always been curious what's there to see in Chinatown and so one weekend afternoon, we decided to explore. From our place, it's around half an hour by car. There's really no more convenient way to get around here than taking GrabCar. Maybe I just haven't gone out a lot but from what I gather, the train system here isn't that well connected and spread out around the city. And so we live by Grab.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Got off at the main entryway to Chinatown, the famous Petaling Street. We were greeted by lots of red lanterns hanging from some dome-like structure above us. I mean, it's a typical Chinatown scenario if you've ever been to one. I thought there'd be something more. Aside from your local vendors selling knock off items and whatnot, the place was underwhelming.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We went specifically to look for a good place to have brunch, local style. Thinking of Chinatown, we thought it would be swarming with street food vendors. Alas, it wasn't. It took a few turns before we were able to find a food market that sold local food albeit a little overpriced than what we expected. To be fair, the portions were big and the food was good. But nothing too impressive.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But we were not fazed. We were determined to explore a bit more of that part of town so we went for walk around the neighbourhood. That's where things got interesting on my part as we strolled past old pastel-coloured buildings. Suddenly we're seeing charming little spots, concept boutiques and cafes, all that jazz that millennials are into. I'm a sucker for hipster places where old concepts blends with the new, and pretty much any place that's vibrant and full of colours. It was the moment I'd been waiting for to finally bring out my camera and snap some visuals. I felt so in my element and it has been a really long while.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sadly, I only managed to get two with me being in the shot. It's hard when you're with people who aren't really into this silly photo-taking thing, I feel bad of having to make them wait while I do about with my business. But I made a note to go back on my own or perhaps with Penguin when comes to visit. Then you'll be seeing more. For now, I hope you like these visuals.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I did some sale shopping lately and boy does it feel good! All these moving in between the business of work's stressing me out so I needed some retail therapy and trust me, it always works. I know, bad bad thing to do but to be fair, I was much worse before. If you're an OG reader then I guess you'd know.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyway, this dress is one of my latest pick ups from H&M no less. I told my self I'd buy less from fast fashion stores and invest more in clothes that will last longer but can't help it when I see a staple piece. This dress is one of those versatile pieces that I can wear on its own or layered; dress up heels or down with sneakers; and form-fitting yet loose enough that it's breezy. It's made in a really soft, silk-like fabric too so it drops really nicely, making me look slightly taller than I actually am. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wore it with the most fashun pair of sneakers that I have on hand (every other pair are either in Macau or in transit to KL). Even though these Alealimay Jordans are colourful, they go well with neutral colored clothes so here we are. Can't wait to bring over a couple more of my sneakers over here so I can play dress up and shoot. My new place is boasts open space living and I'm all for it. Literally every corner can be a photo spot and I'm inspired. It's all coming back to me slowly now. Won't promise a steady blog entry schedule but here's to hoping I'm able to update ya'll more often than I did these past couple of months.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello, strangers! Back from being anti social (social media). Finally feeling some semblance of normalcy after settling into a new life here in Kuala Lumpur. Yes, it's been 2 weeks, it's been that fast! Time flies real quick I tell you. And yet we still do not have proper living room furniture in our new apartment. But we'll get there one way or another.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Anyhow, owning a quiet weekend that I thought to go back to my old habits and take self portraits. Et voila, it was a successful one that I had to share immediately. I badly miss dressing up just for the fun of it and taking outfit photos to share with ya'll in this corner of cyberspace. Oh well, all I can do is try, right?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So my housemate is gone for the weekend and I have the apartment all to myself. On one note it is lonely. On the other, I get to spend some me time without being pressured as to whether I should continue working even on off days or just take a breather. I'm indulging in the latter while free time lasts. It's going to be another busy next few weeks as we prepare for our next event happening at the end of July so I'll take every minute of freedom I can get.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, what's new? From my outfit, nothing. Everything I'm wearing are from my glory days of streetstyle blogging. That I'm living currently with just 4 pairs of shoes in the roster is a wonder. Can't wait for the rest of my stuff from Bangkok to arrive (they were shipped over with the rest of stuff from work). But even then I've only got a few pairs of shoes in the cargo. Scratch. I can't wait to bring over more of my favourite pairs from Macau. Slowly, slowly.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Life-wise, well other than living in a new city, new apartment, new neighbourhood, same old, same old. I haven't had the chance to explore KL save for visiting Petronas tower and one of the food streets here called Jalan Alor. But perhaps this afternoon, I will try to go exploring. It sucks that the weather here is very much like Macau's hot and humid summer. The kind that makes me lazy to go out as your whole body gets sweaty and icky. But anyway, we'll try.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheXcsCLuTrqcOQmEre37iBK7QN8PTFlswFOf_IeZkM4w_74_VhUzL1zW8IYvYRK_wIXtnv0zvAKWz3IQaWhfRH9xcfQ4FGE0ePUay4F3O_4itKBVL7iq-Hay6J15HBtUG0P0jNpgLmG9an/s1600/IMG_8581.JPG" /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After nearly a month of hopping from one country to another, I'm finally getting settled in to my new home! Yep, you read that right! I moved and I'm no longer living in Bangkok but in the city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's always something that I knew was coming but never really took it to mind until it just did, and all so suddenly I had so much to do for my personal life in between travelling for work. Straight after Montenegro (where these photos were shot of course), I had to pack everything that I accumulated over my 6 months of living in Bangkok into 3 suitcases in under 12 hours before taking a flight back home to Macau. It was a sporadic decision that I decided to fly back home as it didn't feel right for me to just move to another country without going back. Plus, I missed my Penguin badly, it had been too long that I was away from home, I just had to.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So anyway, while the short but sweet barely 4-day trip back was worth it, I also had to suffer for it. The fact that I didn't really get a chance to say proper goodbye to Bangkok because I hastily booked a return flight that where I only had less than 6 apart from my flight to KL made me a bit sad. In many ways, I kinda felt at home in Bangkok and I liked it there so it's a bummer.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But in other news, here we are - new city, new adjustments to be made, new life all over again. And as always, the only one thing that's missing is my Penguin. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, enough on life updates. Let's talk about how useless my camera is these days with my crazy ass schedule. These iPhone shots are the only ones I could manage during my entire 2 week stay and I feel bad about it. Fortunately, iPhone camera takes ok-enough photos when there's enough natural light and a little of bit of lightroom help do the trick. So when the whole crew went out to Budva old town on our last day in Montenegro - the only closest tourist destination we could access quickly, I tried to get as much photos as I could with my iPhone. At least to get a few good shots that would qualify this post as a travel entry. But I miss the whole shebang of posting outfits - the styling, the shoot, the editing. I'd be lying if I tell you I'd be back on that track soon. This job is taking so much more of my personal time that I planned, not that I'm complaining, but that means giving up some of the time I used to dedicate to blogging. Ugh. Can we get 48 hours in a day? Pray.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyhow, Budva old town reminds me so much of Dubrovnik old town, only smaller in size. Walking around made me nostalgic of my very first work trip to Montenegro where Chezka and I took a side trip to Kings Landing. But I realised I'm a little less giddy now, probably because of the fact that a lot of small towns in Europe, at least the places I've been to, look very similar. And having been to quite a few already (hello, Gordes), it almost felt familiar. The only thing that I did enjoy for the most part was our short boat ride going back to the resort we were staying at. Having the view of black mountains surrounding the Adriatic sea as we cruised towards Queen's bay was a different "European" experience. Perhaps it's time I visit more of southern Europe and explore coastal towns.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello strangers! It's been a long hot minute! Hello from where I am at the moment, here in Montenegro! But yes, these photos were from London when I was there last week visiting a few venues for work. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you've been following for a while, you'd probably have an idea that I work in events, and we host tours around Asia and Europe. I'm fortunate enough to be able to be part of the leading team that gets to visit venues and experience what we offer first hand so yep, this is the reason why I was in London. And as you can expect, I will be back in L-town soon because we were able to lock the venues we needed. It's going to be another few busy months ahead but I'm living with it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyhow, these are the photos I managed to snap while I explored in between meetings. Not so much but then I've been there before so I was able to see most of the tourist spots already anyways. And then there's always next time so...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm keeping this short as I'm posting while working, as mentioned, currently here in Montenegro. I realised I haven't been able to post anything in a really long while so just wanted to check-in. Gosh I miss the good old blogging days where I am constantly creating content, taking photos, dressing up and what not. But with my schedule this whole year, I don't see how my content calendar, no matter how hard I try, can go back to how it was before. At least not at the moment.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, I'm still here. Still trying. I'm still the same person who loves fashion, styling, and getting creative. I'm just losing time for all that. Pray I can focus more on all these again. In the meantime, I'm happily sharing all of my travels on instagram so if you wanna see the latest updates, then follow along (@misscarlaviolet).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Talk to ya'll again real soon!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm not one to usually keen having my photos taken while in a swimsuit or bikini, not that I don't like wearing them when on vacation or anything. To be honest, I do have a lot of insecurities about my body which may not seem very obvious to ya'll but within, they scream at me. Very loudly. I'm on a very long journey of accepting all my flaws which is I try to stay healthy as much as I can; you know, eating clean and all. But I'm human and food is life, so sporadically is how I would describe my consistency in sticking to it. If that even makes sense.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyhow, I was feeling great when we were in Bali. Perhaps it was because the weeks leading to our trip, I was in fact eating as healthy as I could. I was tracking my macros and mostly cooking my own meals. Sometimes even if what I do don't show results physically, it does affect my mental health in a good way. That feeling of satisfaction knowing that I'm doing something right for my body is enough to give me confidence and think less of my insecurities. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So here we are, me on the beach, purposefully posing in front the camera on a swimsuit without feeling the need to hide anything. Body-shame all you want if you will, I'm feeling great so I ain't hearing any of it =)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyhow, looking at these photos make me miss the su</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">n, sea, sand. And nature. I can't wait to go back to Bali, or find another tropical paradise where I can frolic around and bask underneath the glorious sun. But I think that will take another few months or so because starting this weekend, I'll be on a series of short and long trips until the end of May for work. It's good. But it's also no good. But I'm going to make the most out of it as I go because why complain when it's free?</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">One of the places that I really wanted to see in Bali is the Tegalalang rice terraces. But seeing that we were staying in Uluwatu for the most part of our trip, I did not expect that we would be able to set foot in this fields knowing that it is located in the the inlands of Ubud, nearly 3 hours away from where we were staying. Fortunately our all-around driver did not mind picking us up early in the morning for a return day trip. And so with much conviction from the locals that we met early on, we hit the road.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Traffic in Bali can be pretty bad, I tell you. If you're going to Bali and planning to stay in the central area - Kuta, Seminyak, Legian, better keep this in mind; getting around can be a pain unless you rent a motorcycle which is pretty much what most tourists do. But, upon arriving at our destination, while of course stopping by a few spots along the way (anyone ever tried Luwak poop coffee?), the near 3-hour drive was so worth it!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Tegalalang rice terraces is as beautiful in photos as it is in real life. The only thing I did no expect is that 1) It is too crowded (but why wouldn't it be? It has, after all become a tourist spot thanks to Instagram); and 2) it would take both your arms and legs to walk around the premises because the slopes can be steep and slippery. And in this dress? What was I thinking? All for the photos, of course. But to be fair, I wasn't at all underdressed because a lot of the other girls who were there, obviously for the same reason that I am, were wearing long, billowy, dresses in white. I repeat. In. White. Oh my. Thinking of all the mud waiting to latch onto those white dresses. Anyway, not judging.</span></div>

Instead, I'll keep this short and leave you here.</span></div>
