Jellyfish are special creatures. They have no heart, brain or other vital body parts that can cause functioning but they still manage to cause significant damage to their enemies.
Just like people. Except jellyfish are prettier.
Fine, I lied… it’s always too hot for leather! But you gotta admit Cebu weather aside, if you don’t already own one, it is your life’s goal to actually own a leather jacket. Luckily for me, I was able to score one that isn’t too impossible to wear in this hot, hot city.
Here’s another set of photos I did with photographer Jade Caballo at the Temple of Leah. The trick with shooting at spots that may tend to get a little overrated is to try to find different angles or backdrops that others may not have thought of before. A wall, windows, even a pile of scrap metal is interesting if you just use your imagination!

I’m just so tired and when I’m tired I get depressed and when I’m depressed I start to question everything in my life and when I start to question everything, I realize how unhappy I can get and when I’m unhappy I start to become discontented; sarcastic; crabby and everyone knows I hate this version of Issa as much as the next person does.
I should sue One Direction for the emotional and physical workload they left upon me this weekend. Ugh. WHYYY DID I HAVE TO GO TO THAT CONCERTTTT??
I’ve always found airports interesting. In my head I’m interviewing every single body I bump into.
“hey, where’re you going?”
To visit a loved one.
To explore.
To find myself.
To go home.
To find better opportunities.
To find love.
To forget love.
We’re all heading somewhere and I wish I knew all the reasons why we do.
— Manila. Casey, Cathy. To dance to semi hot, hopefully half naked men aka One Direction.
I don’t know how to make it go away.
I don’t know how.
I don’t know.
I don’t.
don’t.

Quick post of what I wore to the Flawless event I attended last week. I’m actually wearing my sisters’ prom dress because I’m trying to abstain from shopping for a year. I made it to a month now so I think I’m going to award myself by buying a nice pretty top that I’ve been eyeing for a while now. hahaha!
Lace is always a safe and elegant design when it comes to white themed parties but of course, the possibilities are simply endless.
Will blog again soon when my brain isn’t dead.

Today’s dream: he had just asked for my hand in marriage, as soon as I said yes, there was a huge earthquake that knocked down all the churches in Cebu. Just the churches.
Lol. I think it means something! :))
WE WANT ISSA OF 2010- 2011 BACK! BRING HER BACK!!
Love,
fat issa of 2015. ick.
Compliments should come as often as insults do. So, “you have a pretty face… but you’re still a motherfucker.”
Don’t you know it.

Recently, my friends and I have been trying to figure out what kind of personalities we possess whether we’re controllers, feelers, entertainers, thinkers. Over the past few weeks, we’ve discussed the different sides of ourselves accompanied by many, many tests to determine which traits distinctly describe the type of people we are.
Paolo will tell you all that I am a feeler based on the many, many times I’ve cried over a run over cat or from losing at NBA 2k15. My friends will tell you that I’m an entertainer based on how I enjoy being the life of the party and love for pleasing people. While on the other hand, people I work and have worked with will tell you that I’m a complete controller and that if I could do everything on my own, I would.
We took the tests and all my results pointed towards the direction of me being a controller first, entertainer second, thinker third and SURPRISE! SURPRISE! a feeler last. Honestly, none of this really matters but I just thought it would be fun to talk about since I really enjoyed discovering that part of myself over the past two weeks.
But really why am I talking about this?
Waking up in the morning and choosing what to wear takes a lot personality. My controlling side will tell me to fix my hair; have my top altered or maybe even pre- plan an entire months worth of outfits, my thinking side will base my outfit decisions on the occasion or on the weather, my entertainer side will often consider an outfit’s audience impact while my feeler side (or perhaps, the lack of it) will just not give a fck about if I want to put make up or a decent outfit on or not. Having said this makes me believe more and more that no one can ever have just one distinct style.
Writing this blog, I feel like I really want to talk about one thing but I am finding myself talking about another because my thinker side is telling me that this might not be the right outlet for my emotions as of the moment.
So I will leave you all with this, be whoever you want to be whether it is someone who uses their heads too much (or hardly at all), someone who loves the company of others, someone who likes to take the lead or even someone who is compassionate even when others cannot see the need for your kindness.
And for the love of God, dress however you want to dress and don’t let trends dictate you!
Hope you’re loving this set and the silly sides of me that Jade Caballo has captured beautifully. I always love it when they let me be the goofball that I am and especially when they capture it in photos!
And if you haven’t yet, check out our first set of photos by Jing Pascual.
P.s. CONGRATULATIONS, JING! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness and many children to take lots of photos of. They are lucky kids!! ❤ I’m so happy for you and your beautiful mermaid wife (whom I wish to meet soon!) Lots of love!
xx,
Issa
