Catch-Up Post

I'm terrible at keeping up with this blog. I haven't been able to update it as much as I like. I just came from finals week, and summer school has just started for me. Excuses, excuses. :P Anyway, here's a big post to keep you all updated. Lot of pictures so watch out!

My parents came in town from the Philippines for two weeks, and it was like Christmas for me. I'm embarrassed to say just how much stuff I bought while they were here, but that's the whole point of parents visiting, right? :P On my first shopping trip I got a pair of Aldo gladiator sandals and two pairs of cigarette jeans in black and dark blue. I am so on love with them. I also caved and got myself the infamous circle scarf from American Apparel. Very warm and cozy. I've been playing with all its draping possibilities beyond the default instructions, but it seems everything I come up with requires a pin to hold. I better get one soon.

The scarf and jeans in action. Not particularly the most flattering outfit; I'm just playing dress up here.
I was also lucky enough to be able to watch the match between Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton last May 2. What an epic fight! You don't need me to tell you how awesome it was, but it was such an awesome experience. I was also able to attend Pacquiao's victory party afterwards. I got a picture with him! Best night ever! What I wore that night:


Warehouse dress, Schu cutout oxfords, Express evening clutch

The shoes are a gift from my mom. Thanks Mom!


Me and Manny, we're tight. LOL It's a little blurry, but I turned off the flash on purpose. My mom, who's been in his company a couple of times, told me how the flashes from all the cameras trying to capture him hurts his eyes, so I wanted to be the cool fan and turned mine off for him. :P I think he appreciated it. ^_____^ (I can dream right?)


Bayo tank top, Jag flared jeans, Mossimo heels


Bench zip-up top, SM shoes and socks, Old Navy shorts, Cebu accessories


Forever 21 ruffled top, Old Navy shorts, Schu cutout oxfords, mom's old accessories
Just a few outfits I've donned for summer school. Please excuse the pale legs. They haven’t seen the light of day all winter. Now that it’s practically summer, it’s time to get my tan on! :D Of course, I wear sunblock everyday and I don’t actually lay out in the sun and fry myself, but I do love that sunkissed “had fun in the sun” look. (Actually, I cheat and use a bronzer. :P) Back in the Philippines, it’s not uncommon to see girls under umbrellas and hiding under the shade to stay white. But for me, summer is all about the tanned look. Can’t wait! It’s also fun to see just how fast my skin turns white again in the winter. :P I wish I can dye my hair a lighter shade too just to complete the whole beachy look I’m going for, but everyone is always talking me out of it.
