梦想成真:成为服装设计师

Kittie Yiyi 是本地时装界的一颗甜心,平时就带着几分日式少女大胆穿衣风格示人,她部落格的超高人气,更顺势推了自己一把实现了服装设计师的角色,让她直呼过瘾。

“我从小就知道自己想要从事和服装有关的事业,但是到底是哪一项却不确定,只知道我总是被衣服和打扮吸引着,也常常用想像力把布料拼拼接接,看看到底能做出什么。年纪再大点时就想当模特,感觉走秀艳光四射好不风光。后来发现自己还是醉于形象设计和服装设计,在自己或别人身上,从无到有设计作品的感觉非常棒,而且也能依自己的想法更改。最让我振奋的是我的第一个系列是在吉隆坡时装节上推出,这是一个难得可贵的机会。我没有想过能如此幸运,多亏身边不少朋友的帮忙和鼓励让我勇于尝试,在最后关头跨出第一步接洽时装节的负责单位,并获得了一个展示的机会。在短短的四个月里我神迹般地经历了很多事物,从敲定时装节的位子、构思设计、寻求布料、剪裁到最后的定装,这一切都发生得太快太疯狂了。我把我喜欢的东西都放到了我的设计上,像是鲜艳的颜色加上夸张的点缀,希望大家看了穿了能感受到快乐。我认为压力是动力,我天生少根筋不会烦恼太多,与其失落宁愿用时间去想该如何做到更好,也固执地相信每件事都一定有它解决的方法。这次的经验让我更懂得果断,改掉了我拖泥带水的性格,无形中提高了抗压能力,看事情的观点正面化和不再畏惧挑战。我相信work hard, play hard。”

Kittie清楚地分析自己在这个实现梦想过程中的学习,开朗表示正面思考是成就人生梦想的一大重点,想太多只会徒留后悔。

November thoughts




It've been a busy month for me. Can't believe November is passing soon! I have been working on my own brand, styling job, blogging, meeting clients. blablabla.. SO TIRING!! That is why I need more sunlight for me to breath deeper. Lollll Nah just kidding. This group of photography was director by the photographer :)

Recently I have so much pleasure to be spotted by a photographer from Philippines. I don't know where he found me but he actually contacted me before I go to Bohol for vacation. What a coincidence. I went to Philippines and he was backpacking to Kuala Lumpur. So ya, that's how this fireworks started. He said he love how I look and how I dress myself. Photography is part of his hobby. That's why he don't want to waste his trip by just traveling around KL instead taking human portrait to fill in his portfolio too. Thanks Oscar for your beautiful artwork! LOVESSSSSS

Photographer: Oscar Sta Cruz
Makeup: Cole T (please be my makeup artist forever!)

I NEED TO WORK HARDER BEFORE 2014 end!
Gotta go meeting! BYE!
XOXO!

8 things to do in Bohol, Philippines


Am always grateful for all the great opportunity that happened in my life! Last 2 weeks, I had a wonderful trip to Bohol with Airasia team. The trip was overwhelming! We are all well care by the local and we had gain lots of beautiful memories.

I just got to say I love Bohol. I don't mind going there again. If you love nature, Bohol is a must go place! It's all about calm and relaxing at the island. Bohol is the tenth largest island in Philippines. It is one of the bigger islands in "the Visayas", the group of islands in the center of the Philippines. Bohol is, together with 72 small islands around the main island , an island province of 4117 square kilometer. Agriculture, together with the tourism, are the two dominating economic sectors of the main island Bohol.


So I think the calm people know what I do in Bohol:


1. Of course, the nice beaches! (ANDA BEACH)
Endless sunshine, Crystal clear tropical water, white sands beach, are all you need when you on a chilly vacation. In this trip, I had been to Anda white beach. It is at the east of Bohol. Anda is a beautiful town in the Philippines where you can really experience the Philippine way of living. They wave at every tourist because they are just so happy to see you! I am really impressed with how friendly they are to everyone. too lovely!



Besides the beach, we also took 20 minutes boat to Lamanoc island. The Lamanoc island is full of mystery! Getting through the tourist trail around the island involves plenty of climbing steep stairs and walking on slippery limestone. The local guide will tell you about the stories found in the island's caves since pre-colonial times. It has been a holy spot, where local priests and medicine men made their offerings to nature spirits, who where believe to reside here, and where called upon to provide a bountiful harvest or good catch.

Some of the caves here served as a burial place, so when you are in there, you can find the remains of several wooden boat coffins and also bonesssssssss..


Lamanoc is also a beautiful nature spot for you to inhale and exhale, the air is just too fresh inside! Various types of plants and animals, including some indigenous monkeys can be seen in the cave too!

While me and Taufulou sailing back to the beach.


Beautiful sunlight at the village beside Lamanoc Island.

2. Visit the beautiful Baclayon church!
One of the oldest church in Philippines! Everything is remain nicely in the church.
Philippines proudly boasts to be the only Christian nation in Asia. More than 86 percent of the population is Roman Catholic, 6 percent belong to various nationalized Christian cults, and another 2 percent belong to well over 100 Protestant denominations.


They are rebuilding the church due to the damages after the earthquake.

The way to 2nd floor of the church. Unfortunately we can't take picture! They have so much treasure hiding in it! You must go and see!




Such an inspiring place, I love it so much!!


3. Loboc River Cruise
This is awesome! Loboc River Cruise Lunch Buffet is a Must-Do in Bohol! It is very relaxing to eat all you can on the cruise along the river for an hour. The river is surrounded by coconut trees and greens. I am so happy to hear the voice of the nature. There were also people singing jazz on the cruise while you eat. My heart totally feel relieved on the cruise and I could just calm my mind and eat with the nature!


A total relax!


Selfie with Jerome and our flowers. haha

Saw this while relaxing on the boat. A house was damaged after the earthquake.
Can't imagine If I'm inside the house T.T It must be scary to experience the strong earthquake!

The boat turn around at some small waterfalls where it can not go any further.


Native people dancing on the floating restaurant. It is name Kuradang. Traditional folk dance of the Visayan People usually danced during special occasions, parties, and reunion. Heart felt so warm when I see them because they dance for us to welcome us. aaaaawwwwwww....

4. Watch the Chocolate Hills and explore in Chocolate Hill Adventure Park!

Chocolate Hills is made of chocolate. That's what I thought of it when I heard of the name haha. It is called chocolate hills because during dry season, the hills turn brown and it looks just like Ferrero Rocher. LOL The Chocolate hills are famous attraction of Bohol. it consists 1,776 hills spread over an area of more than 50 sq mi.
At the Chocolate Hills Adventure Park (CHAP), you will see the wild lide, birds, and flowers as a brook murmurs on the side. Along the way, a serpentarium houses various species of reptile and mammals where as interaction Area for young learners and guests. 

My friends are so mad at me when I uploaded this huge caterpillar in facebook. HAHAHA


See! they are so beautiful even before they turn into butterfly!


 For thrill seekers, marvel at the sight of the hills spread as far as your eyes can see from a different angle up above a Zip line. Challenge yourself wih the Burma Rope, Canopy Walk, Hiking Trail, Camp site, Bike Ride, and more adrenaline-pumping activities inside the park set over century old Molave and Mahogany trees. Definitely an experiences beyond the usual.

This cycling zip is too awesome!!!!!!!!!! My heart bumping so fast when I started to cycling on it. I thought I was going to die when i accidentally shake my bicycle.

This is a must try in BOHOL! Don't miss it! It only cost about RM30.


5. Abatan River Life tour!
I also think that this is a must place to visit! It is only minutes away from the city of Tagbilaran lies a community rich with the culture and tradition of the Abatan River fisherfolk and farmers. Your journey starts at the Abatan River Visitor Centre at Cortes which showcases the five villages involved in the tour. On board a traditional bandong, your guide will delight you with traditional stories and folklore of the place.


Beautiful river. I seriously love that moment where I can really calm my mind.
Can I go again plssssssss


Each Village offers a different experience from basket weaving, boat paddling tasty local cuisines, family adventure activities and cultural performance of river life expressed through song and dance. Whether you've got one hour to spare or a whole day, a choice of tours offers you the flexibility to create your own cultural experience along this beautiful river environment.



The superb welcoming Local. Bohol seriously makes me feel heart warming at every destination. I love you all!
Dancing performance that show us how they live. Especially how they catch the crab.
This little boy is just too cute with his smile! :)

Their cute little motorbike.
Children jumping from the coconut tree. The river is their swimming pool .


People live there with such a simple life. Farming for living with no complaints.
At here, I've learned that everyone have different living method, no matter how it is, live life to the fullness. Happiness is the most important.


6. Watch the Tarsier!
Picture from google. So cute right! HAHHAHAHA It's the smallest monkey in the world. But it actually not a monkey haha. Tarsier is very peculiar small animal. In fact it is one of the smallest known primates, no larger than a adult men's hand. Mostly active at night, it lives on a diet of insects.


This is the one I saw in real! SO CUTEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! SLEEP LIKE NOBODY BUSINESS


Hey Cutie? Do you wanna build a snowman????
HAHAHHAHA


7. EAT EAT EAT!! BEE FARM DINNER
A trip wont be complete without nice food right?!?!? This place is highly recommended in all the internet review. All the food are organic and they have their very nice ice cream name malunggay! try it when you go ok?? The ambiance was super vintage and rural. It is just beside the beach. Very windy and relaxing restaurant too!!


FOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDD...
Don't worry  about your weight when you go to travel, just eat whatever they have!
#YOLO!

8. South Palms Resort Panglao!
Beautiful and gorgeous resort that just launched last year!! I suggest you to stay  here because the room is just opposite the beach. You can watch sunrise or sunset or even sleep on the beach at night. It totally makes you feel like a home at the resort! It can be your best beach holiday! 


Very nice environment! The whole concept is about simplicity. Letting go all your problems, and relax here. You will feel energized again.
Our room. Less is more. I had a great night sleeping in the room!

Chilling with Ashman on the net swing early in the morning when we done catching sunrise. So FUN!!


The two young girls behind the beautiful resort. IMPRESSIVE!!
They are only 23 and 26!
Feeling upset before I leaving BOHOL T.T
Why is holiday always pass so fast?? gggggggrrrrrrrrrr

One thing I am very impressed at Bohol which is everywhere is very clean!! Especially the toilet!
The toilet is not wet and is not smelly at all. some of it even have air conditioning!! I think now I understand why they call their toilet "Comfort room" ! Impressive!

Some people said that the cleanliness of a toilet reflects the civilization of a country.
This is so true. You guys should consider this place :)

I had taken a video of Bohol to show you guys! Hope you guys like it and won't faint. HAHA
