whenever I see you






skirt Promod; Knitted turtle neck, Forever 21; shoes, Celine (local store in the Phils)

Last December our village held a Bazaar. 
Annually it's been a tradition to held one.
Brand new and used clothings, shoes, bags... anything.
Great way to find Christmas gifts

I saw this really cute pouches and the seller is selling it for 68pesos.
But she gave it to me for only 40 pesos because I bought 6 used/vintage clothes from her.
And they are really, really good.
A structured gray blazer for only 200 pesos!!!
Some were sold for only 100-150 pesos. And the print!
Just imagine the design as Hanne Gaby Odiele. So pretty!
The cheapest I got is a 100 pesos blouse with tweed sleeves...
I feel like I just bought a Chanel!

Hope I can get someone to take my pictures wearing them.
That's my problem.
As everyone is so busy and my sister now lives in Legazpi.

Anyways, I'll just post it once my goal is accomplished.

the summer of december






Behati Prinsloo for Pamela Love

The older I get, the hotter December becomes.
Our country only has two seasons. Either it's raining or it's sunny.
But when it's December the air is cool and you would feel the festive air.
Now, as I'm sitting in my room-blogging, I can hear the sound of my electric fan.
It's not on number 1, it's on number 2 but I am still sweating.

The inconvenient truth.

Whatever happened to you December?
I miss you.
Come back.

Seeing those photos of Behati adds to the summery feel of December.
How lovely the photos are? Super. 
I never really liked summer. I love rain. I love cool winds.
But I always like photos with summery feel - especially for models like
Behati and Daria.

something came up




A bread on the floor. Pinoy Tasty. 

guilty pleasure



For me, it's always been Twilight
Even though the lines are cringe worthy, 
in the end I am always rooting for the film to really really do well
And support, yeah!, Robsten 200%

I want to see it on it's first day of showing
I watch Robsten's interviews - comic con, press junkets, tv appearances...

And for the gown, I thought it was really really beautiful.
 I was just let down by Bella's hair
It became messy in some scenes
We know that she is a simple, no fuss girl when it comes to style
but hey, any girl, I tell you, wants to look good on their wedding day
ALWAYS.

Or maybe because she is the only bride with a vampire groom and a bff wolf?

long time coming









Whew, it's been a long time since I last posted. 
No motivation, no new pictures.
So for the next few days, hopefully I will be able to post 
the remaining pictures taken early this year.
My hair now is longer.
And I just realized it suits me better -
I think.

How beautiful are the graffitis?
Me and my sister were staying at a rented dormitory when she went to Manila
last February
And while were walking back to the dorm after buying some food supplies and toiletries 
at a nearby drugstore, we saw this empty parking lot
with graffitis all over the wall
So we woke up very early the following day.
It's a very good timing, since it's sunday and not so many cars passing by.
It's important because aside from it's along the highway it is also very near my office!

I just saw on one of the pictures the word STD --- what?!?
Made me laugh. 
I don't know if it's STD STD or stands for something not as popular as... you know :)

if i fell



This is the floral skirt I'd been talking about in my previous post
Wore this once and after that my madness over long skirts are gone
Crazy right
It just disappeared, maybe by wanting something so bad
And getting it you feel somehow satisfied
Or maybe I sometimes don't feel myself wearing
all this girly stuff 


Knitted Floral Top, Topshop; Skirt, Dorothy Perkins; Shoes, Alice+Olivia for Payless

About these photos, I really like the feel and look of the wooden door
It's rustic and old
It has the feel of an antique and very shabby

The shoes I'm wearing is Alice + Olivia's collection for Payless
It's so high and really, really difficult to walk
When me and my officemates went out during our lunch break
I did not want to change it even knowing it will be so hard to walk on a concrete streets
and stairs with people passing by, walking fast, hurrying to make the most of their 1 hour break

But I tried it anyway
What happened next is any fashionista's nightmare
I FELL. In front of security guards, officemates and random people

Traumatic. And never tried wearing it since. Tragic.

The clothes I'm wearing were all bought for less than 50% from their original price.
See, I'm really good at this now.

second chance, better one









Too much time spent on trend watching
Maxi Skirt or Long Skirt whatever you call it
Had been on my mind for several weeks
Wanted to buy sooo much
And ended up buying 3, a floral, a printed pink(my fave) and this black one

This black skirt I bought from a Tiangge in
Robinson's Galleria at 600pesos
I know the price is cheaper in other Tiangge malls but 
I can't find it anywhere
Actually it's a redux
This skirt came out before, say 2 years ago
Didn't pay much attention to it because at that time
I'm into shorts



Now it came back big time
With lots of variety and prettier aesthetics
Be it sheer, floral (I have one!) pleated or plain colored
Name it, it's there
I like sheer the most
And just saw one.
The awesome boutique in Galleria - Androgyny
It's priced at 890 pesos
Not bad, but I'll be going home in our province 
So I need to save money for that
But let's see if I can stop the urge to buy it. Goodluck


As much as I wanted to wear it with a boots 
The weather in our country won't permit
So maybe just for blogging purposes
I'll try it

better days





Leather Jacket, Forever 21; Knitted Top, Topshop; Pants, Dorothy Perkins; Gladiator Sandals, Jannylin

So this is the last of the pictures taken last November, I think
We started around 2pm and ends around 6pm!
With only 5 outfits
No wonder everytime I read an article about photoshoots,
These words always comes up - the waiting, long hours, tiring 
And we're not even on a real photoshoot (dream on ;p)

Been studying this weekend because I'll be taking an exam - work related
So can't say much about it
But it's really complex and I don't understand some of it
Sometimes I got it all mixed up
Would really, really need to ask my team leader to explain some of it

Got my Ipad last week! thanks Elaine
It's only Wifi and 16gb but it's okay
Shelled out some cash to buy casing
Been canvassing for it for several days
Thinking of opting for a cheaper case
But I feel I won't be happy with it
So I decided to shed a little more than just settle for a low end 
and honestly they're are not pretty

i love you the most









top, Zara; belt, Dorothy Perkins; bracelet, topman; shorts, mango; timbaland boots

of all the outfit and the pictures taken last November
this is my favorite ;p

the color, the lighting and the boots!

i thought photoshoots are easy if you have the best outfits
but it's so tiring and sometimes i don't know where to look 
or how to stand and not to look stiff

the secret then is to relax and have a load of
self confidence
which is harder than working to have the money to buy all this clothes



Louis Vuitton dressed stuff toy ;p not real LV of course
