I miss you, SUMMER

There's something about summer that is so carefree and relaxing that I miss it so much. Nothing gets me down like a steady downpour of rain and I generally do not knwo how to transit from summer fashion to fall fashion, OR layering at least. So, I post some pictures of a summer before, with some Bossa Nova music and a Pina Colada, in remembrance of a season so enjoyable.

Have a great weekend everyone!

10 facts about me

So I got an award about two weeks ago from blogger Overdressed me and all I can say is that I'm extremely grateful girl! So sorry for the overdue, overdue post.





I think I may have writer's block combined with photographer's block (wait, is there such a thing?). The pictures I will post here are the only ones I've taken for two weeks and even my super weekend at manila was poorly chronicled. But, these pictures are very appropriate to what this post is all about: 10 facts about me



1. I love skylines especially this one of Makati. But I don't look down because I might get faint or whatever and I might crash into the glass and you know what happens next





2. This Pumpkin Soup from M cafe at the Ayala museum is literally Love. It melts away all your apprehensions on the first sip, it's the ultimate comfort food! If you have a chance to dine there, try this one!





3. I do not know how to grow a plant. These water lilies are the only one who thrived by me and when food shortage comes, I don't have anything to eat but water lilies!






4. My workstation is where I spend the first hour of my morning sipping coffee and the last hour of my day. Look how messy it is :(





5. Maxi dresses are total life savers when the wail " I have nothing to wear!" emanates from my vocal cords. Much more glam when roughing it up.



6. I am renovating and decorating the house and I do not know what direction to take on design. I want Kenneth Cobonpue pieces on the house. Does anybody know how much they are? Do I need to fly to Cebu to purchase it?

7. When I like a particular song, I play it a hundred times till the ears of my neighbors bleed (omg!)

8. People keep telling me to get married already. I'm still in my 20's and I do not really mind.

9. I'd like to take a trip out of the country soon.


10. I want to cut my hair ala Suri Cruise: the short bob with bangs! But I don't have the courage, yet. So there you go! It was fun as it got me thinking cerebrally :D Finally, I made an update and hopefully the pictures will come soon. Have a nice day everyone!

Needs Expression

(Wearing Chanel Spring 2009 dress and Gucci Sandals)

Do you have dresses that you just seem to buy because they are so beautiful? Well, I do, I have a pile of them in my closet. Which is a bit wee wasteful because why acquire them when they can't see daylight (or night) out of the closet? I've been always attracted to the frilly, weird and excessive kind of clothes. Maybe because I see these clothes as work of art, just waiting for the right occasion to shine. So I'm keeping them and someday, me and my clothes might just make the cut.

The One Hundredth

Yay, It's my one hudredth post! I can't believe that time flew so fast. In the time that I opened my blog for comments, I had gained a lot of inspiration reading your blogs and viewing your lovely comments. This blog has been like a diary to me and at the end of the day, blogging is something that takes off the stress of daily life. I've found support and company with all the blogs who peeks into this life and thank you also for sharing yours.

This was supposed to be my "sale attack" outfit last Saturday but with sneakers! Work interfered so I think my non smiling face has something to do with that. I'm excited to take a trip to the city this Sunday as most stores are holding their mid year sale. First stop on my list: the Great Lifestyle Sale of Bench.

It must have been nice to go have firt dibs because I have the lifestyle card but I'll take this opportunity. I've been wanting to also check the sale items of Dimensione ( I get excited by furniture these days ). Plus, I've been having wanderlust and it's a great way to check out other stores at Bonifacio High Street.

I've also accidentally deleted my blog list (foolish me!) while trying on some new templates. Please, please, just leave a comment if I accidentally don't remember to put your blog on ( So SORRY!!!) and I'll put it on as soon as possible. Also, new link exchanges are welcome! If you'd like to be added, just leave me a note :D

Just another Manic Monday

For me, this is one of my favorite clothing to wear at work. Its shapeless structure enables me to move around freely while the decent length means that I can go anywhere wearing this. Plus, it soft fabric is just what you need when things starts to go haywire at work. Just perfect for Manic Mondays.

I'd like to post a quick shout out to my younger sister: thank you for the bangles! I'm super, super lovin it. I miss my family so much and sometimes, the most delicious of all food or the best movie doesn't matter when you can't share a laugh or two with them.

Running Errands

(Bench T shirt, Levi's Jeans, SM dept store sandals, Chanel bag)


Today is another hot day, summerish. I think our summer here has shifted to June and the sparkly waters of the beach have never looked more inviting. I'm wearing a vintage belt that I had thrifted a few days ago for only 15 php (30 cents) and I'm coming back! It's jeans and T shirt day because of errands and the strong wind. I've experienced the Marilyn Monroe-uesqe kind of flip with the skirt and it's not funny Lol.

I'd like to thank everyone for your sweet comments and for the new followers. I know 12 isn't a big a number compared to others but I'm happy. Have a great day everyone!
