On some days, we all just want to channel our inner Vanessa Hudgens and go all out (or in this case, slightly) bohemian.

On days when I try to dress differently from my usual and preferred aesthetic, I always go for boho dressing-- something that I've always wanted to achieve but just can't quite keep up with. I don't know if that's my closet talking or I'm just really not the Gabriella Montez type. Either way, I still try to experiment just to keep things from looking too monotonous bordering on crazy boring.

Off-shoulder tops has got to be the biggest trend this summer and I can't blame anyone who hoarded, and still hoarding, this cult favorite. Chic and comfortable, this is probably your best bet to beat the summer heat and if you've read my Cold Shoulder entry, you will know why this is fast becoming a personal favorite, too.

To complete this slightly boho look, I paired this off shoulder top with my soft palazzo pants from H&M and a fringe bag to seal the deal. Nothing says boho like wide-leg trousers and fringe detail, yes?

Being a mom entails a lot of responsibility and I couldn't imagine being responsible to a tiny human until I had two birth stories to share to the world. Being a mom means giving up a lot of things and on top of that list is sleep. Motherhood brings with it a ton of challenges; running after a two-and-half feet tall natural sprinter 2-year-old who sprints the last 3 meters to the bathroom is a marathon in itself. You die a little every time you witness an almost mishap, mini heart attacks that come and go every hour or so. It is hard, yes, but also very rewarding. The toughest job in the world, they say, but it brings with it so much happiness, you can see it reflecting in your child's eyes. Some mothers are comfortable sharing the ups and downs of motherhood, others prefer to keep them private. But just because you haven't heard from this mom that rearing children is challenging, it doesn't mean that she has it easy because no motherhood experience ever is. For what it's worth, it pays to keep a positive outlook, an open mind and a resilient heart. After all, isn't that what mothers are really made of?

On a lighter note, sharing with you guys my Mother's Day feature on local paper, Cebu Daily News

This is quite possibly the only photoshoot and interview that tensed me up all throughout! While Vania enjoyed the shoot, frolicking in the tub for far longer than necessary, I was extremely anxious of my makeup melting and my hair going limp because of heat and humidity. That, or it was just nerves that had me sweating like a pig. It didn't help, too, that Vania was extra chatty during my interview Hayde that I kept losing my train of thought! It was crazy! Haha! This came as an absolute surprise when they approached and I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity.

But thank you so much, CDN team, Hayde, Ms. Niza and Ms. Mimi for this!
Thank you Edd for the beautiful photos! I love all of them!
