too much color for the rain

It's been raining for the past few days and honestly, it was so hard to dress up. So I came up with this idea of wearing my summer dress to brighten my day and paired it with my pink crocs prima so I can still ready to face the rain. I also somewhat accessorized a bit to add some Korean vibe to my outfit.

Isn't it nice?

dress: from Thailand; camisole (inner) top: Landmark;
shoes: crocs prima; accessories: from Multiply & bazaars

Too many updates in one post

Sorry, I've been busy for the past few days. Yeah, I know you're wondering why is it my Facebook profile is more updated than my blog? Well, that's a different story. hahaha! :P

So here's what you've missed:

top: Plains & Prints; skirt: MEG; tights & belt: SM; shoes: Effegi

top: Plains & Prints; jeans: Red; shoes: Celine

top: Juana; trousers: SM; shoes: korean brand (168)

dress: Juana; cardigan: Landmark; shoes: Steve Madden; bag: MNG

The last five photos were taken from a hotel in Makati. Yeah, I took advantage of the hotel's comfort room 'cause it does not look like one.. hahaha! :D

Thanks to my officemate who willingly became my photographer for 10 minutes. :)

the 100th monthsary

Yes, tomorrow's gonna be our 100th monthsary. Glenn and I don't have any plans yet. A dinner, perhaps? Why not, right? It's just a simple way to celebrate our relationship together. I'll try to think about it tonight, and will consult him later or tomorrow morning. :)

So how did I spend the last day of the long weekend? Simple. I watched the first few episodes of Jerry Yan's Starlit drama. It seems okay, not a boring one though it's kinda serious. Then, I went shopping again -- and window shopping as well. I'm actually preparing my shopping wish list so I can now start saving money to buy them.. hahahaha! I also bought a white 3/4 sleeves cardigan in Landmark which I can use as a cover up for my dresses. I'm so lucky to have it, it's the last piece.

Button down top: MNG; Denim cuffed shorts: GAP;
Havaianas white high lite 2007: All Flip Flops

tote bag: MNG

the long weekend

I am totally enjoying the long weekend. No work, no stress, no pressures at all. It was able to relax and do the things I need to do like organizing my stuffs and decluttering my closet. hahaha! Yeah, mom has been complaining about my closet. She said I should get a larger one. And honestly, I'm now also occupying my dad's closet. hahahaha!

After decluttering my closet, I organized my accessories.

Not until yesterday when I realized that I have already collected lots of accessories. See, this only proves how 'kikay' I am. hahaha! I really heart fashion.. it's in my blood! :P

And since it's long weekend, of course, I have an excuse to shop again. Mom, Karen (glenn's sister) and I went on a shopping. This time, I was able to score 2 dresses, a top and accessories. Mom and Karen was also able to buy things for themselves.

++++

Then today, Glenn and I watched the Pixar's movie UP in SM Cinema's Director's Club. It was my first time to watch a movie in Director's Club and I really enjoyed it a lot. The lazy boy chairs are so comfy plus there's only 30 people allowed in the cinema which means less noise. hahaha!

The movie has a good story to tell and I cried on the latter part of the movie especially when Russell (the kid) received his last badge. It was so touching.

By the way, before we watched the movie, Glenn and I had a little stroll in the mall. We were window shopping! hahaha! Not until I saw this Topshop-inspired dress on a local boutique. I totally fell in love with it. The last thing I know of was that I already paid for it -- which means plus one to my recent purchases. hahaha! Now, I'm broke. :P

Gotta save more money in preparation for Glenn's birthday.. and to accommodate my shopping wish list for the next coming months.

Wish me luck! :)

brazil! brazil!

The entire MobileApps team had a lunch out with our managers and executives at Brazil! Brazil! in Serendra. Thanks to our sponsors for the well-deserved treats. The food is great, more on grilled meats (beef, pork, chicken, sausages) so I think 600 pesos for the buffet food is worth it. :)

And since it was Wednesday when we went there, everyone was wearing a corporate attire. Every Wednesday is our so-called "wash day" wherein everyone in the team should be wearing a corporate attire. Not the traditional corporate attire like suits and black blazers, but more of a smart casual ones. Good thing for me, I kinda tweaked my attire a little to look formal. :D

Dress: Juana; shoes: CLN; bag: MNG; belt: SM;

cocktail ring: Stellar by Chynna Ortaleza; watch: Tomato; earrings: SM

I really love the dress. Mom picked that one for me and bought it for only Php 350. I also love the red earrings I bought recently from SM for only Php 80. It adds color to my outfit. Such a great steal, right? :)

I'm definitely looking forward for more fab and cheap finds!

an afternoon in high street

Actually, we had this activity in the office called 'Peer to Peer Feedback' wherein each member of the team will evaluate his/her other teammates with regards to performance and work behaviors. This activity is solely done for our team. So instead of having the activity done in the office, the team decided to do it somewhere else -- somewhere relaxing, no pressure at all, some place near where you can discuss everything freely -- some place called Bonifacio High Street. :D

Before the activity started, the team ( only QA and DEV ) had lunch at Texas Roadhouse Grill. A place similar to TGI Fridays but a cheaper version. I love their menu and the servings are pretty good. For someone who's on a diet like me, it would be better if you just share the food with someone. :) The servicing of food is quite slow, but I think it depends on the food you order. Good thing, they served peanuts to somewhat fill up our hungry stomachs.

After lunch, we went to Starbucks inside the Fully Booked and started the activity. It took us hours to finish everything. The activity ended around 5pm and most of us decided not to come back in the office anymore. Some went back to finish some tasks but I decided to leave early. So while we're ( Teann, Julie and I ) waiting for Reg and Jeanne, Teann took some photos of me using her beloved DSLR. I also brought my camera and tried to shoot some.

Happy Weekend! Enjoy! :)

Still dressed up on a bad day...

Yesterday was a bad day for me. Dysmenorrhea strikes back! Because of that, I came to office late. I tried to come to office even though I am not feeling well.

Despite of that sick feeling, I still managed to dress up a little.

top (inner) from Redhead; blazer from Sugar; jeans from Red; oxford shoes from Schu ( i changed the laces); bag from MNG

I also wore the bling bling shades necklace given by Clair. She gave it to me together with a hoop earrings in exchange of the Gothic-style earrings I bought last year. Love it!

Thanks clair! ;)

movie night

I have finally watched G. I. Joe last Monday with Orange & Bronze friends. But before that, we had dinner at World Chicken. Glenn was on leave that day to get registered for the upcoming 2010 elections. At long last, we are now registered voters! hahaha!

Back to the movie, it's good. I'm not actually a fan of G.I. Joe so I didn't have any expectations at all. I'm also not aware of its story so I can say it's a nice movie to watch.

And oh, channing tatum is damn hot! I can still see him dancing... in G. I Joe outfit! ahahaha!
Did I also say that Sienna Miller is one hot woman in her black long straight hair? It suits her! So throw away that blonde hair, Sienna. Make your hair long and black.. i am falling for it already! hahaha!

top from 168; jeans from Red; bag from MNG; shoes from Steve Madden; necklace from SM

By the way, I wore my 4 1/2 inches Steve Madden shoes and I stand taller than usual. Some people took second glances on my shoes and I heard some of them saying how high the heels are. hahaha!

I super duper love the shoes and of course, the one who gave it to me.. ♥

Retail Therapy

For the past couple of weeks, I had been so stressed out from work. Good thing I came across with some fellow bloggers who inspired me to dress up. So I decided to give it a try and it worked! :)

Dressing up is so much fun esp. when you have lots of money to spend. But during the times I'm stressed, why not do some retail therapy? It can release positive vibes and makes you feel good. Believe me, it works!

So here's what I got for the past weeks:

top: (outer) unbranded from China, (inner) from Landmark; skinny jeans from Red; shoes from Celine; watch from Bayo; earrings from Clair; necklace from The Bead Shop

Thrifted denim blazer; bag and green button down top from MNG; skinny jeans from Red; gray patent oxfords from Schu

button down top from MEG; skinny jeans from Red; black peep toe wedge shoes from Parisian; bag from MNG; belt from Landmark

top from Zara; tights from Betty; Gladiator sandals from Parisian; belt from SM; Bag from MNG; charmed bracelet (flipflops) from Soeur; beaded bracelets from bazaars; earrings from Watsons
