Cute looks from HauteLook..

Another website I've been checking out is http://www.hautelook.com. Whenever I'm buying a new dress for a wedding, I find myself sticking to the same styles over and over. I found some nice looks that might give me more ideas on what to look for next time:

I just love the first look, it's at $98.00 $245, from Eva Franco, her designs are just divine. This is from her Summer 2011 collection. Check out at http://shop.evafranco.com. I wonder if it would fit me well? Hmm..

... is that the same dress?!?.. maybe it's the first model, not the dress, I like after all.. XD

Some cute dresses from Pixie Market I want to have.....

Cute print & design. Darn, I also want the shoes! Can you make them my size?

They call this "Tulip dress". Nice silhouette, isn't it?

I've been wanting to have an asymmetrical or mullet type skirt, thinking if I could pull this one off.. hmm

For more dresses, visit http://www.pixiemarket.com

Just one thing, I think their models are way too thin.. and a lot of dresses seems to just look good because they are the ones wearing them! hahaha. But I like their designs. I've been seeing some ads on facebook and I can't help but to browse them from time to time. I wish I can buy some new dresses from there, if they just weren't so expensive.. sigh. :-|

Holy Week Silent Retreat at Tahilan Study Center

So I attended a silent retreat at Tahilan Study Center last April 5 to 7 and guess what? I've had my first communion, meaning I have to make myself to do confessions every month! :P I am such a crybaby these days, I cried during the mass, I dunno why :'( just too many frustrations in my life right now, I guess. I'm blaming all the 2012 wedding celebrations! LOL.

Anyway, I attended several talks during the retreat. One of which is about the nine human virtues, or good habits that builds character in us. Is it just me or I haven't heard of these before?
[1. Prudence
2. Justice
3. Temperance
4. Fortitude]*
5. Fraternity
6. Loyalty
7. Cheerfulness
8. Order
9. Poverty

*four Cardinal virtues

I listed down four virtues I really have to work on. (1) Temperance; (2) Fortitude; (3) Order; (4) Cheerfulness. Sometimes I feel my job brings out the worst in my virtues. Sigh, Or is it just me again? Hmm..

Looking at the things I jot down in my journal during the retreat:
(1) To contain my temper when I feel like shouting/ don't know what to do with my tasks;
(2) Less facebook time, study when I have time and learn more about technologies to be more up to date;
(3) To organize my time, money, and relationships better; and
(4) Be happy even with setbacks.

I cannot help but lack concentration :( My mind is fixated on some things I couldn't fix, and it's ridiculous :/ Can't help but just try new things that might get focus back. :/

Btw, I enrolled in swimming lessons at Ace Water Spa! :D I do hope I learn to swim. I'm excited!

EDIT: my daily message from God, how coincidental, right ;)
