Dayle Lao: school

March 10, 2018

Location: Zamboanga City, Philippines

Outfit: stated down below....

Black and white comes along, every time my friends ask me “ethriel, how many (black, white and gray) shirts you have, can we have some?” and follows “ha-ha”. So you probably have noticed my old posts on instagram on being a basic boy on your feed. Well, I really love monochromatic colors forevs!!

Have you tried keeping some of the things you bought then suddenly it pops out in your closet and the worst is that you never knew it was there? Well, it’s a big yes for me. So I found this “fanny pack” of mine if I’m not wrong, I bought it on a thrift shop last 2 years ago and i’ve only worn it now (lol at me) I think it was just 30 pesos… so I look like someone who is going to collect some debts but it came out a little bit like that, then some also tells me “you’re on the trend man” and I was like “really, naah don’t flatter me ha-ha”. My outfit here is just a simple one, my top is a Ralph Lauren white shirt and paired it up with a black denim jeans from Penshoppe, a black sneakers from Adidas. Now, I’m ready for our university wash day! Have an awesome week you guys and enjoy!

Yellow (hello) there! Who loves yellow? I didn’t liked yellow though, because it seems to make me look so haggard (I don’t know, that’s what I feel ha-ha). But, I’ve realized yellow seems a trend right now; why not? So I tried and that came out good. That yellow over-sized shirt was I think I bought it online and found it inside my closet, I tried wearing it a day and it looks kind a golden state shirt but no ha-ha. I guess some love it and right now I’m starting to love yellow too. So I paired my yellow over-sized shirt to a gray sweat pants and a black sneakers to give it so called a “lazy ootd lewk”, literally I looked like I just woke up ha-ha! So what are your thoughts of me wearing yellow?

Random thoughts*

Hi to all the aspiring bloggers like me and to my lovely readers out there, how y’all doing guys? I know there was a brief hiatus on my blog these past few months and now I’m back! Being a college student doesn’t mean that life is so easy, thus some might think it is but in reality it doesn’t. Having a hectic schedule is so hard that you just wanna go “pagod na si acoe” or “ayoko na mag-aral” well education really do matters and “quality education takes time ”ha-ha.

So, I started to like pre-loved/thrift shops. At first thrifting is out of my field, it’s just that I’m not really into it. Once a friend told me “Uy! Thrift shops could also help you slay your ootds and have good poses on instagram” and so I listened. Me, myself is not a fussy person when it comes to certain things, but I’m a little bit of being meticulous. The first thrift shop I put my feet on is located near the University I’m studying, it’s just a few blocks away and it’s like a mini bazar. Second, was the so called “MAGAY” (ˈmə-ɡī), it’s a market place in Zamboanga City where a part of it are all pre-loved good apparels.

GOOD STUFF I BOUGHT ON THRIFT SHOPS

Since I’m a newbie here (about thrift shopping), my friends guided me and took me to a tour (wow! parang turista lang? Haha). it’s just that the place is so crowded and you feel like giving up. Good that my curiosity helped me a lot and I pushed through. You don’t need a big amount of money to buy good things, as a student being practical is one important way (#studentproblem101). Thrifting is Eco Friendly, easy on the pocket book, support non-profits and fun and exciting shopping experience, Go and slay! ✨

To all the instagrammers, influencers, aspiring bloggers and a student like me out there, express yourselves in what you’re comfortable with and what you’re capable of. 💕

Untill my next blog!

I really don’t know how to start this, like kinakabahan ako para sa year na ito (i am a little nervous for this year). Anyway, how was your summer? Did you make the most out of it? It’s been a decade (exaggerating) since I wrote something. Well let me share with you my “I don’t bring much to school essentials” ha-ha. Since first year, I’m not that person who brings a lot of things to school (some friends know it lol). I usually bring a ball pen, a notebook and my bag (sometimes I call it a “bag” even though it’s just a small pouch). Every time the school year starts, I just have to buy at least 3 pens and 3 notebooks. Let me show you the things I got for this school year.

1.) Faber Castell Pens – this is why I love Faber Castell. Aside from it’s a good quality pen, it also has cute colors (not the ink, it’s the outside frame of the pen), but I love it black. I’m using this 0.5 point Faber Castell pen (black ink) for my daily notes to give my own notebook a minimal look. By the way it also have a red and a blue colored ink. For those people who loves making doodles, this pen is good at it. It’s a pen that is affordable for college students like me, I bought this at NBS (National Book Store) located at KCC mall de Zamboanga.

2.) Notebooks – notes are the important things you should have in school. The thing about me is that I don’t really copy lectures ha-ha, mostly I try to get my lectures in a soft copy (either phone or laptop). Millennial now are into technological stuff, lectures are only captured through their smart phones. But these notebooks are one of my best essentials even though I don’t really write that much, but they never failed to give me what I need. It helps me on, during meetings and some other assemblies. This won’t cost you that much, an affordable price for every student like me out there. (Got the blue colored notebook, coz it gives my eyes a refreshing sight.)

3.) Elliot Audio Active Wireless Ear pods – Kimstore.com

Me, fun of listening to good music on Spotify during vacant times, I usually bring my small buddy to school. This Elliot Audio Active Wireless ear pods are awesome, in fact I’ve been interested on having wireless earphones and I found this little ones. I got them from Kimstore.com with a smooth transaction. Aren’t they cute with their blue ear fin tips?

4.) Herschel “Retreat” Bag – ever since I was little I’m used to have, I mean every year before classes starts I usually buy the things I need and a bag is one necessity. My mom buys me a new bag every single year when I was in elementary until my secondary. When I stepped into college, it’s me who go shopping and buy the things I need, actually it started since I was in my third year high school. I’m not really a backpack person, coz I hate it when it makes my back sweaty as hell. Second is that here in the Philippines before you enter an establishment the guards usually checks what’s inside your bag for security matters. And now I found this Herschel “Retreat” Bag myself. Herschel Supply Co. is a brand of bags that has been a blast in fame the past few years. Their lines of trendy hipster bags have been all the rage even in the Philippines. I’ll be carrying their “RETREAT” bag for this whole school year. Some feature are signature stripped fabric liner, padded and fleece lined 15* laptop sleeve, magnetic strap closures with metal pin clips, external sleeve, internal media pocket with headphone port, contoured shoulder straps, reinforced base, classic woven label. It’s comfortable by the way with it’s minimal gray look and I kinda like it.

5.) Long champ Wallet- another essential of a student is a wallet, I still remember that I had once a wallet that is bigger than my pocket. A kind of hipster wallet that is long and huge “ha-ha” usually teenagers use it. I really appreciate how this wallet goes like from its inner compartment to the card holders. This Long champ wallet is a model of efficiency. it has 3 card compartments, bills compartment and for your lovely picture compartment.

6.) Eyeglasses - When lazy day gets into me I usually wear them, but mostly I wear my contacts. Without them my life is a blur. The black with a gold ear holder, those eyeglasses has a lot of good memories, one of my oldest glasses in my existence in college. Then the other one “harry potter” shaped lenses from Sunnies, supposedly that eye wear is only for ootds but it’s kinda cute so I got the lenses replaced to my own corrected eyesight. I usually buy my frames online and let them be replaced by my ophthalmologist.
