So, my birthday came and went. Had a pretty good one!  It's been quite the journey. Now adult life is beginning for me! That's kind of terrifying.Its nice to see at least some people still acknowledge you and wish you well in all of this world’s craziness.. little things matter but the worlds still moving on, I need to keep doing the same and pushing forward! I just want to thank the Lord for another wonderful year & for all the blessings.

Another birthday celebration with my family, so i was supposed to have dinner with my parents & brothers, but they surprised me! They invited some of our family members in my mother side to come and celebrate the day with me! 

A dinner at +P.F. Chang's 

 

Celebrating my 18th birthday with the most wonderful people in the world. The people who have always been there for me since forever. I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful family and I couldn't ask for more.

I'm giving this girl a shout out for actually "surprising" me with her crazy-like-her gift!! Always a cutie! I love this girl so much!

My day doesn't stop there!! What's a party without drinks? 

Went to Laiya Grill at BF Homes - Paranaque

 with some of my family & invited some friends to come over too!

  This is the only photo I have. 

To all who greeted me on my very special day, Thank you so much for actually giving time to make me happy! I can't begin to express my thankfulness for all my close friends and family that have been there for me. Through the good and bad. I love each one of you so dearly. I am so blessed to have you guys in my life. So now that I am another year older, and a little bit wiser, I can go on with a smile on my face and joy in my heart! 

I'm very sorry for low resolution photo's only taken with my phone, because I actually forgot to bring a dslr.  

xoxo, chesca

My first ever celebration for my 18th birthday!

I'm turning 18 in 2 days, and I can't believe it.

So here's what i did....

PHOTO DIARY:

I went to my dentist to pamper my teeth. (but i don't have a picture) so anyway ...

A simple family dinner at Shakey's with my family & strolling at the mall!

 With my favorite boys, I wouldn't trade them TO anyone. They're the best! 

SPOT.

My lovely parents who raised & who's been taking care of me for 18 years & still counting.

I don't say this enough, but I love my parents. They are crazy and we fight a lot and we may never get along sometimes but you know what? Nobody can party quite like them and they know how to get in my generations flow and have a good time and there's nothing quite like singing the oldies and dancing like there's no tomorrow.

Lastly, What's a birthday without a cake? 

I'm not wishing for anything, but I'm thanking God for another wonderful year!

It's not really a "wallet" its my coin purse, but yeah, THE USUALS! 

My ID's blue forms and money!

My blockmates!! Uhh i really missed them!

Eyebags, forgive me I'm an Industrial Design Student. 

And it's my Hell week!

Since today's thursday, it's cheat day today! a Throwback photo for my

challenge today! I'm sorry! I didn't get to take a picture with

my friends cos i was so hella busy...

Dad, Mom, Bluey, Red & Neo

THEY ARE THE BEST!

Anne Rice Interview with the vampire book!

Yep, so me and mom was sorting old and new books and i found this, looks like a good book. 

Reading this soon! Maybe after my finals.

SAVING MONEY IS IMPOSSIBLE.

I USED to say that...

For me, Atleast: Somehow in this world, you end up with extra cash on your hands. Now, you know that thing you said when you were just "window shopping-ing" and you just found yourself something to buy.. and then the “I-need-to-save-money.” thingy was gone!

Sometimes buying something from your own savings means really a lot to you! I mean, you can find happiness from that, it's like you bought something with your own SAVINGS and you worked hard for it. (For teenagers: It's really hard for them to save money, of course, some goes out every friday & Saturday night, Some really loves shopping, Some really enjoy spending their money on food.)

I am going to start my "PALLADIUM FUND"  

PAMPA HI - PALLADIUMS!

I really wanted to buy myself a pair of this Pampa Hi-Palladiums for my birthday. 

And i don't want to ask money from my parents (though I know my allowance' are coming from them.) but they gave it to me anyway so it's now MY MONEY and I'm saving for it. Hehe. Anyway, I know I'm not saving up for my NEEDS, I am saving up for my WANTS.

but ofcourse... To be able to save up

1.) You should have your goal. Ask yourself (WHAT IS THIS FOR?)

2.) You should know whether this is a WANTS or a NEEDS.

3.) You should have your own keepsake! Like a piggy bank!

This is my PIGGY BANK! It's not actually a piggy bank. a DIY BANK! 

I used a bottle of  SOLA and placed all my bills inside. 

OR atleast placing Php 50-100.00 a day!

THAT'S IT!

TRY IT AND HAVE FUN SAVING THIS SUMMER!!
