in rainbows

tees, Details; denim skirt, St. Francis; Doc Martens

bought this from Details at Eastwood City
i got myself some radiohead-y tees!
my sister can't decide whether to get a
Lennon or a Yorke.
she ended up buying the two, and both in black

i was telling her to get The Smiths but
she won't cause she haven't heard any of their songs.
so when you see her wearing a shirt with a musician plastered on it
you know that she's a fan!

lonely afternoons








the so in the moment shirt.
my favorite food - in white cheddar. i eat it everyweek. the owner even remembers me and gave me a Popcard (5% discount card) for free!!! Yey!
the view from the top.
mickey's looking at me.
me, trying my luck at photography.
the shirt again.
and me again.
i hate afternoons. it makes me sad.

Collage 1 : Blazer


Been doing some collages lately. 
Mostly on trends and am also planning to add  guide on 
where to buy similar pieces in the metro.
It's tedious work and as much as I wanted to post everyday
resources are scarce and internet connections
as always very uncooperative.

So I'll be updating this post on how much this greatness
costs and where to find it.

off of the road

Here are some of the photos from our trip to Naga last November.
Since we don't have a car we hop into a public utility van.
We were supposed to be around 6 or 7. 
All are my sister's friends, co-nurses.
But only two came with us. Rachel and Yon.
One left early. So final count - it's three.

It's Rachel's birthday and to celebrate my sister bought
a beer and we were secretly drinking inside the van.
Happily singing Happy Birthday.
We went first to CWC, wakeboarding mecca in Cam Sur.
The weather is freakin' hot. My foundation is melting.
Plus side, too many gorgeous people.

Then went to the mall. I'm not very enthusiastic about it.
And I kept telling myself to be understanding.
You see where I grew up big malls and fancy restos and 
even popular fast food chains are not accessible. 
Because there are only a very select few.
They just opened over a year ago. 
And it's a 2 hour drive from my hometown Legazpi.
So we feast our eyes of what Naga has to offer that our beloved Legazpi cannot. 
For now.

ringin' the new year

I thought green is this year's color.
Before 2010 ended, I saw Victoria Beckham wearing a green dress.
But haven't seen any surge of "going green" yet.

I am loving my leopard flat shoes bought from Dorothy Perkins.
A different version came out first. With black bow tie in the middle.
I didn't bought it. Of course, regret follows.

green top Guess; pants and leopard shoes Dorothy Perkins; 

A friend of mine saw it in Rockwell.
She asked her friend who works there to reserve it for me.
I gave a wrong shoe size. Yes, I forgot my shoe size!

I even asked my office mate if his brother, who works in London, can buy it for me.
But it's already out of stock online.

Then came "the second coming". No more second thoughts.
I promise to post clearer shot of my leopard printed flats.
I love it so much and am afraid to use it everyday.

And picture below is all about my rings.
I bought my Jaguar ring at the time I'm trying to control
my shopping spree
I feel guilty, gluton every time I shop.
But I can't let the ring go.

On the right |  Jaguar gold ring, Kikay Accessories; shield ring, a gift!

press play

For me, music and work has a very loving relationship. 
Nope, I'm not into ANY music business or wanna be business. 
While working I always have my earphones plugged. 
Ninety percent of the time.
My office mates (and supervisors sshhh) have to yell so I can hear them. Bad. Me.
It helps me concentrate and get the job done (so they shouldn't be annoyed!).
I'm choosy when it comes to music.
Some people have told me my taste is weird.
And yes, a year after I'm still listening to La Roux.

I wanted to post the song's music videos from You Tube
but don't know how(need help!)
So here's the list ...
          • Lost In The World - Kanye West feat. Bon Iver!
          • Trophy - Bat for Lashes
          • Horse and I - Bat for Lashes
          • 16th & Valencia Roxy Music (Album Version) - Devendra Banhart
          • Portions for Foxes - Rilo Kiley
          • I'm In Here / Clap Your Hands / You've Changed - Sia
          • Violet Hill - Coldplay
          • Baby You're A Rich Man - John Lennon
            (I heart The Social Network! except JT - so annoying. He's effective then?)
          • Crossfire - Brandon Flowers
          • That's My Bitch - Kanye West feat. Elly Jackson!
          • Eight / Slick / Toro / Two Hands / Gold Key - Chew Lips
          • Airplanes - Local Natives
          • Bitter End - Erik Hassle
          • Orinoco Ninja Flow (Wedding DJ's Remix) - Die Antwoord
          • Fresh Blood - Eels
          • Wild World - Sid (Mike Bailey)
          • All I Want Is You - Glen Campbell
          • You Look Great When I'm Fucked Up - Brian Jonestown Massacre
          • Dart For My Sweetheart - Archie Bronson Outfit
So when going to work, it's more important to have my Ipod with me than
my company ID and cellphone?

An ID can get you through the door 
but good music can efficiently get you through the entire crazy day at work(load!)

Have some music to share, just send me a message ;)

P.S. Kate Moss is said to be doing an album.
I love her, but I'm not too optimistic about the project.
Prove.Me.Wrong.Goddess.Or.Hince.

Toodles!

on the roof top and down

Went back home last November for a 2 week vacation. 
It's in the province so not much happening.
I've spend a lot of time at my grandmother's house. 
Went to the beach - just for a walk and visited my aunt's house because soon she'll be moving in there. Malls, bowling and drinks.
Then went for a joyride with my childhood friends in the wee hours of morning (sooo early, 1am!)
It was so much fun seeing your friends/neighbors all grown up and all made up. 
From shorts and tees to so teeny tiny skirts!

Was also able to meet a lot of my sister's friends who were into photography.
Some were making fun of my poses, so funny, and agreed to shoot me.
So I will be posting some of the pictures here... 

It's a new year and it's been a long time since I posted my own pictures. 
What a way then to celebrate holiday than to post a valid, legit! photos and not taken at some stores dressing rooms :)
