Can we all just drop everything, and be students again?
How I wish. Everyday I feel the burden of "real world" responsibilities --I just want to go back in the confines of our safe, learning-is-fun, mistakes-are-ok, life inside the classroom. Haha! So I enrolled in SOFA Fashion Capsules: Celebrity Fashion Styling with Alyanna Martinez several months ago, not really to pursue a styling career. I just want to grab the chance to learn more. :)
So anyway...

Went to 55 Paseo De Roxas in Makati last Saturday to attend the one half-day styling class in the fashion school SOFA
I was kind of lost, and feeling "out of place" when I entered the school (must be the age? haha)...It was my first time to go to back to "school" again, and narealize ko how painfully shy I am (nga pala). Good thing I know Keigh from the recent F21 event (she was manning the registration for this class), and then the adorb Kisty, my fellow Kulasa and little sister batch, saw me in all my awkwardness in the halls (naks) and I asked if I can tag along her group. :) Whew, di na ako loner sa class! Haha!
SOFA intern Keigh :)
This time, with Randz! :)
I love them! They are a great trio to hang around with in the classroom, sayang one day lang to! :)
When we entered the classroom...we saw this pile on our chairs:
Text books ba? Haha!
Cosmopolitan Magazines, SM GTW lookbook and GC, flyers, Hairpieces, Vita Fede, Renegade Folk flyers/GCs, and a tube of Carmex lip balm (FTW!)
Nasabi ko tuloy, if only SOFA was an option na when I was graduating in high school! I would have enrolled here for "college", hehe!
Reviewing our "text books", baka may exams mamaya, hehehe.
When everyone was settled in their seats...
..."Good morningggg teeeacheeer!!!" Haha, joke lang! :D
A brief intro on SOFA and Alyanna Martinez
A guide aka class plan of what to expect that day. :)
I actually enjoyed the talk by Alyanna Martinez. She's super machika, it's more of like she's talking to a friend: casual, fun, quirky, and very open. She told us how she started in the styling biz, all her styling experiences from A LOT of fields (magazine, fashion shows, production, personal, advertorial, catalogue, etcetera). She's really super hardworking, someone I now officially look up to. :)
And while she's telling us her stories, the lessons/tips/tricks just sprout from them. :) I wasn't a bit bored; I love her and if this is actually a real class and school I have to go to everyday, styling class with Alynna Martinez will be one of my favorite subjects. :) Hihi.
Stalking mode inside the classroom! :D
Imagine a classroom with famous blogger and F21 ambassador Patricia Prieto in it...
Or you're "groupmates" on a project with THE Kryz Uy...
Where doll and blogger Tin Iglesias takes photos beside you! :D
And you seat a few chairs away from photographer extraordinaire Lyka Orhel! =)
Hahaha, sorry can't help it! I was on full fangirling radar while listening to Alyanna, hehe! :)
Moving on, after the fun talk was the application part! :) Alyanna introduced us to pretty Ms. Diana De Castro of Hair Pieces extensions!
They gave away Hair Pieces to one lucky student...Congrats Tin! :D Super lucky!
Alyanna also showed to us her stylist kit. This portable "dressing room" is one of her "inventions", hehe!
Picking out an outfit from a rack filled with SM Girl Teens Wear clothes!
Patricia modeled for the on-the-spot styling!
Shoes from Renegade Folk! I love that brand. :)
Alynna's one-whole-maleta of ACCESSORIES! :D
Ms. Sharlene Tan of Vita Fede was also there, and they also picked one winner of their coveted accessory!
Without me noticing, 3 hours already passed by, so we ended the class with the "awarding of certificates"
Check out my notes:
May exams, teh?
Geek in me is still ah-live and kickin! Hahaha!
Pictures with some of my one-day classmates! :)
Christine of the Big Bangs Theory! :)
Camille, also of the Big Bangs Theory! :)
These cute cute girls were my "backmates", hihi! :) Hope I didn't blocked your view! :D Love them! :)
The other half of 11th of October, Sam! :)
