OOTD: 8 Years & Counting

A lot has happened, not just in my blogging life, but also in my personal life. Blogging sure did change a lot of things for more and I learned a lot from doing it and from the people in the community. There have been ups and downs, but look at me still blogging after 8 crazy years.

OOTD: Love Your Curves

“I love the idea of embracing your curves and loving yourself while expressing it through fashion.” – Hayley Hasselhoff

OOTD: Going Back to Square One

Growing up, I needed to boost my confidence on my own or else my insecurities would eat me up. It hasn’t been an easy journey up to now. I keep talking about body love and confidence, but lately, I have let my insecurities get to me. It wasn’t easy to accept at first, to be honest. That is why it has really been awhile since I last posted something here. I felt shitty about everything and whenever I looked in the mirror, all I see is this fat and ugly hypocrite who will never be able to love her body ever.

Of course, that needed to change.

OOTD: A Throwback and Something to be Thankful For

Gelleesh started out as a beauty blogging project in 2011 after slowly learning how to put makeup on as influenced by one of my good friends, Celine. Ever since, the blog has continuously grown and evolved into eventually also talking about fashion, food, and other things that tickles my fancy. I guess, in a way, this has become more of a personal blog talking about the things I love and my journey to becoming a better version of myself everyday.

OOTD: A Year Full of Changes and Challenges

2016 has been a crazy year for me. It is crazy both in a good and not-so-good way. A lot of things have changed and adjustments have to be made. Some people who had a pretty sucky year might have said, “I’m so glad 2016 is done…” Darling, you should know that just because the year ended means the sucky things of 2016 will suddenly disappear. News flash! You still need to go through and deal with them.

OOTD: Dating as a Millennial

Let’s face it. No matter which era you belong to, dating will never be easy. There are those who call themselves the “experts,” but how do we really define being a dating expert to be like? Can you be an expert if you’ve found love easily? Can you be an expert if you have never been hurt? Can you be an expert if you can juggle more than one partner at a time? Can you be an expert if you can get laid anytime you want? Truth be told, no one can ever really be an expert because dating is and never will be a game you can practice until you perfect it. Dating is complex whether you’re a player or you’re in it for the real thing.

OOTD: Waiting on your Supernova

Sometimes, when things don’t work out as how we plan them to be, we get so discouraged that it just feels like we want to give up and just let things happen by themselves; but the moment we do that, we fail to realize that these things are just challenges bound to make us stronger, better and shine brighter than before. The journey, itself, is created to be appreciated and to be lived as it is.

OOTD: Ignite the Light and Let it Shine

This is not a totally new outfit. As a matter of fact, I have already posted this before; but if you would take a closer look there were some minor changes with the overall look, not of the clothes, but the way I styled it by adding some accessories and changing some parts of it. I was just suppose to blog about the When In Manila Christmas Party in Arcama last night but I have decided to convert it in an outfit post since I don’t have much pictures of the event and I was suddenly inspired by what happened today, which I can, somehow, connect to an unexpected thing at last night’s party.

OOTD: Hard Out Here

“Don’t need to shake my ass for you ‘cos I’ve got a brain”

OOTD: Our Song Plays on the Radio

Top: Korean loose long-sleeve top with print: JUST NOW | Shorts: Solita | Shoes: Fioni Boots from Payless

“Drive me away ‘cos the night just feels right. Take me away with you tonight.”

OOTD: Knock 'em out and Walk Away

TOP: Gifted | SHORTS: Ward88

“Can’t knock ‘em out, you can’t walk away. Try desperately to think of the politest way to say...”

OOTD: The Root of all Heartache

In all honesty, REALITY can be really scary.
