The Pauline Anatomy Online Shop; set III

Finally, my love and passion for flower crowns, that Alice, Thumbelina, Fairy feel. Making a floral wreath or crown feels like weaving magic into it. Sorry, I still have this “I do believe in fairies” Neverland kid in me. These are limited pieces/made to order, cos I’m the only one who’s whole heartedly crafting this. So I need more time if you want one since I’ve been receiving quite a lot of requests already, and I really am grateful for it. <3

First up, the OLIVIA FLOWER CROWNIt has golden buds and Deep Pink (Scarlet?) Daisies (almost red) made from thin craft wood, better quality compared to the usual cloth it looks realistic and prettier. 

My signature colours; Sky blue roses x pink flowers x blue baby’s breath flower crown. PAULINE FLOWER CROWN.

Lol, candid shot. Thanks again to my cousin!

Next is, AMETHYST FLOWER CROWN, I wanted to name this Veronika cos of the book that I’m reading but I figured Amethyst is more appropriate. :> It’s my favorite amongst the gems!

Wearing my flower crowns will give you fairy powers. Haha I feel like I am thumbelina…. or not. Or just a girl lost in the secret garden or something. :>

Next, is the GOLDEN GIRL FLOWER CROWN, I love sun flowers so much. Enough said. 

I love every photo so much I wish I can all make them my DP or cover photo, haha!

Candid, while sniffing my nose, oh this one is a beauty. I mean the crown, haha! ATHENA FLOWER CROWN. AAAHHHH, I feel like an enchantress. 

I’ve always had a thing for forest creatures, to the mythical ones to the real ones. Pixies to deers and elves. While making these flower crowns, Garden 2 was playing (I’m gonna upload that song here) on my speakers and my room just felt aaahhhh I feel like I’m in an enchanted forest. That’s the word, enchanted. These were captured by my cousin Andrea! <333

These babies take time to make, wow that sounded wrong. Hahaha! Place your orders VIA FACEBOOK, i repeat. I will not entertain questions here anymore regarding the price and majiggas, hassle e haha. I’m only one person making all of these, tho I have some help from P, it’s quite hard to manage especially that I’m just starting. I’m also testing if this will work out if not I’d have to stop making DIYs for you guys, and we do not want that to happen right? Yes, I’m selling them for a reasonable price, but I’m also evaluating the pros and cons, by making, I really need time, I’ve been sacrificing sleep for almost 4 days now. I’ve got little booboo’s on my hands and my back hurts. Haha *groan* Anyway, if you love someone, er, something, no matter how hard it is you’d do anything right? Well, as long as it’s worth it. I do hope it is, seeing from your feed back. I’m grateful. :) Take note that my office hours is from 6-8PM. I am online during those times regarding taking in orders from my shop. That is the only time I will entertain orders starting now. Also, It’s my day off during the weekends, I’m either out on the beach or reading a book. Well, it also depends when I’m online. Cos I am not 24/7 online you know. Thank you! You guys are the best! :) I’m really tired right now cos I slept around 3am and woke up around 7am. Anyway, I am enjoying crafting! It’s a different summer :) Cheers! 

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

FOR ALL THE ORDERS THAT REQUIRES SHIPPING, I WILL SHIP NEXT WEEK. WHEN I HAVE FINISHED THE DIY’S. THE MODE OF PAYMENT WILL BE THROUGH SMART MONEY. KINDLY GOOGLE AND OR ASK ME ON FACEBOOK. HEHEZ. THANKS. :)

The choice is up to you, on how you will react, respond, and receive the world around you. You can either rant about how your life is so boring and that you don’t get what you want, or you can make a choice and do something about it. Remember, only boring people get bored. It is a choice, on how you will write the pages of your life, yes there is a God up above, he gave us free will, and I know that he takes joy in watching us when we live our life, using our different skills and doing what we love. It’s only a matter of how you see things, maybe I look at things differently, well, we all do. But in my reality, maybe it’s a tad bit hard to explain, but I take things like I am a character in a book, my senses are heightened. Like, when I was in a book shop, a random stranger said ‘Hi’, then he left. I wonder if we’ll cross paths again in our universe or what or why did we cross paths that day. I chose to not make plans-plans, in a sense that I get furious when things don’t go the way as planned. I learned that they happen that way because something better is bound to happen. I let things be, like meeting up with a friend I haven’t seen for ages, talking in a coffee shop about how he wants to be a president to lucid dreaming to controlling our sub conscious, one time, I thought of when was the last time life surprised me, y’know those unexpected moments? I asked myself, maybe I’m being a control freak again? So I decided to just, let go. Let things fall into place, but I can choose the things that I want. Random things like friends ambushing you at home and receiving a book that you’ve been wanting to have, to actually doing the things you love to do like crafting and being able to reach quite a large audience, to affecting people’s lives. Sometimes, I feel like I’m just dreaming. That when I look in the mirror, what if I’m not myself or am I myself? what is myself anyway? Some say that, ‘anglikot talaga ng utak mo’ and it’s nice to hear, in a way. When it comes to me making art. I’ve read a quote that says, “To be able to think creatively is smart, but to make the visual concrete is genius” or something like that. The thing is, let your mind wander, be inspired, keep the people that serve you good and make you happy, make mistakes, learn from it, read books, travel, sleep, eat anything you want, laugh, cry, sing even if you don’t know the lyrics, dance in your undies, let go of the things that doesn’t help you in any way, people will always have something to say, but you live your life you hear me? Like in the quote that I’ve read, “Life is like photography, you use the negatives to develop”. Amen? AMEN! You choose if you’re gonna be sad, if you’re gonna be insecure, you choose if you’re gonna hate, and live an awful life. You choose what you give importance to, you love who you want to love, forgive even though they do not ask for forgiveness, forgive yourself, ask for forgiveness, repent, sometimes doing the right thing is hard but it’s for the best, you eat what you want to eat, you choose what you want to be. And I chose to be myself, accepting my flaws, little quirks, to do what I wanna do, to love, to free myself from others’ opinions, to jump around, to just be and everything in between. 

Flower Child.

Flower crown teaser! Take note that my office hours is from 2-4PM ONLY. I will entertain orders during that time bracket. :) You guys excited for the floral crowns? I gave names for each! Right now, I am in dire need of books and sleep.

Preview; Hello Summer Sun! So just so you know, I’m still alive and living the life. It’s really hard to share when lots of things are happening whilst on the contradictory, when you’re bored you don’t know what to blog. Anyways, I’m here now! Eighteen and better!

Therefore I am.

Iridescent smiles. I was listening to P’s valentines mixtape volume 1. (yes, haha) while sitting alone on the pavement under the bush. I’m the type of person who enjoys ‘alone time’. Sometimes I just vanish from a pool of people to find a quiet place. I’ve been contemplating, staring at the watercolour sky, reminding myself that everything will fall into place.These photos were from the Malayan Zombie Invasion last 021513.

As I grow older, everything seems to be within reach. Tho it may be hard sometimes, cos life is never easy. But there’s this certain wisdom, a certain peace within me that concurs. Only the important things are what matters to me, all the negative, yes, they’re there only to serve as a reminder of what is important. People will criticize, ridicule, but that’s all that they can ever do, judge. But they would never, ever, have the capacity to live the life that I live. It is liberating, empowering, and emancipating. I know I’ll make more mistakes, more lost days, more scolding, more criticizing, heck, all of it will never stop! But one thing is constantly changing, me being stronger, wiser, and a better person. All of the mishaps and good times make me who I am. I want to experience and stumble and succeed and fly and more. Who knows what my 18th year has in store for me? Maybe love? or travelling? or performing? Hah. Who knows.17 year old self, you deserve a pat on the back. You’ve been hella great. Cheers to more mistakes, mischief, and madness. To the people who have always been there, you know I love you. To the people I will meet, hello! To the ones I’ve lost, we’ve had our time and share of memories, to those who are planning to stay you are more than welcome, to those who wants to leave, I have an automated seat eject machine thank you, and to God, Hey Gman, you have a purpose for me, a life well lived, an awesome adventure that is beyond a minuscule human brain can fathom. I will keep my faith and be still. Thank You for 18 wonderful years of existence. 

I got back from wonderland I guess? A forest nymph or a lost pixie, either way. I’ll figure it out. I always get lost, but that is where I find the greatest adventures. Here is a montage of photos. Gloomy weather, but we traipsed in little puddles of rainbows. Hello, I am 18 and alive. 

Hello, hello. I echo out to you guys. Can I just say that I feel like I’m seventeen forever? And it’s still not occurring to me that i’ll turn 18 in a matter of days. Maybe that is why I’m feeling out of sync, everything’s happening too fast. Uh-oh, freeze please? But there ain’t no stopping time. It feels weird, I feel weird. Jan 13, 2012 before I was 16 waiting to be 17 now I am 17 waiting to be 18. It’s like a vertigo, a transition of souls. A lot has change, a lot has happened. Now I am writing this down at awe that I will soon turn 18. It’s such a big number, I can vividly remember back when I was around 7, when I celebrated my mini, well, grand 7th birthday where I felt so matured. Heck, I was a little princess adorned with little silver jewels in a puffed elegant pink gown in a strictly formal event with giant cakes. I was only 7 back then. Now, here I am in a paradoxical situation. Where I feel so old, yet so young. Mixed emotions I must say. 5 days to go mates, til my celebration. :)

To be honest. I DIDN’T PLAN THAT I WOULD ACTUALLY CELEBRATE A DEBUT-DEBUT THINGY. But maybe it’s in my personality I guess, I don’t plan. Random. It just happens. My parents wanted me to celebrate it like this so go! =) I can’t wait to tell you the details. It’s not really grand grand but a different kind of simple grand. Only the closest people to me. I don’t like big parties wherein I don’t get to talk to everyone and it’s all awk cos my guests don’t know each other. Anyway, January is my month. I celebrate my birthday whole month long! I’ve been very busy so let me highlight the happenings so far;

• Last Friday, Mum, Tito, and Titas went to MNL to buy the necessary party paraphernalia. Hello torches! HIPSTER OLYMPICS HAHAHA (Steve was joking that this was the theme since Idk what my theme is but it’s awesomesauce. Hah) Hung out with P whilst he’s braiding my hair as I edit in fuwto shop hahaha wee, finished my invites design and tarp!
• DID MY FLOWER CROWN AT 4:30AM IN THE MORNING AND VERY HAPPY WITH IT. DIY! I will post a photo, and hopefully a tutorial if you want :>
• Photo shoot with Kuya Zeus and Rain yesterday! 011213 (My Outbreak Manila Team!) can’t wait to blog about this! Even tho it was gloomy and rainy, we still managed to take great photos. (I’m just waiting for my Dropbox download to finish so I can get the photos)
• Today, Printed out the invites! Searched for my cocktail dress, but haven’t found the one yet. Sad. Anyway, still have til Friday :)
• Will give out the invites tomorrow!

This semi-formal informal forest indie water fairy fire trees hippie water balloon lights chill yolo native hipster simple happy party is so random. Like me. Planned, Sorted, Arranged in more or less 10 days. Hah. Thank you Gman. As for tomorrow, still got school to face. Biology to sleep on. Hahaha I kidd. Nevertheless, I am thrilled. Emotions stirring up in my teenage heart. Yaaaa. Great week ahead everyone, make the best out of your days :)

2012’s been a wild ride, lots of adventures and mishaps that all led to a wonderful 366th day of the year. Met a lot of lovely people that taught me a thing or two about life, shared stories, You gain some you lose some, but what is loss when it is all for the best? I’ve learned a lot, did things that I never imagined I’d do, faced a couple of demons, took on what seemed impossible but I got through, changes, changes, like my ever changing hair colour (haha) Change is one thing that is constant. Inevitable. I just want to thank Gman up above for everything, and just for being alive at this very moment, to the ones who stayed, and are there for me, for all the love and care, I am one lucky, no scratch that, I am one blessed kid. For a family like this, friends, ugh everything. I couldn’t ask for more. I hate myself for being passive at times. There is a lot to be grateful about. A million things to be happy about. Anyway, to the one reading this, I hope you’re still in my 2013! Happy New Year! :)
