last minute

 OTTO flats,Parisian bag, thrifted top and shorts
Last minute shopping is not a good idea especially when you are living in Metro Manila. Last Saturday, we went to the mall to buy gifts for my loved ones. We spent almost 1 hour in parking area looking for vacant space. The mall was too crowded that you could easily bump into somebody. And falling in line, a very long line, to pay for the items was so stressful. So again, I have learned my lesson: Have your Christmas shopping done earlier. Merry Christmas Everyone!

just random thoughts

thrifted dress, thrifted shoes

• Been so lazy taking outfit photos these days. And this one's taken few months ago using my friend's camera.
• I'm currently addicted to Criminal Minds, How I met your mother and Nikita.
• The music of Lemar, Train and Keane are in loop for 3 days now.
• I'm searching for good movies filmed in Italy. I want to know you more, Bella Italia!
• I'm thinking if I'll have my hair relaxed, permed or untouched. :)
• I hope my 2011 will be full of travels and adventures.
• 8 days before Christmas!  

priceless

Ten days to go and I'm home. Actually, boyfriend and Louie (a close friend of mine) planned to have land trip from Manila - Davao for EXPERIENCE. Imagine you will be sitting in the bus for like 48 hours. Scary,I know. I tried it before and it was so tiring and uncomfortable and I promised never to try it again. NEVER. But there's one good thing about traveling by bus, that is to see the beauty of  Mt. Mayon and San Juanico Bridge. So boyfriend begged me to accompany him in this journey. For LOVE, I agreed to go and thought it would be enjoyable since I will be with my two dear friends. Unfortunately, there's no more tickets available. So we have no choice but to take the plane. And Oh My Good LOrd, the fare is freakin' high already. One trip costs more than 4,000php when I usually just spend 2-3k for a trip. Lesson learned : book flights 3 months earlier.Well, what's important is I will be home this Christmas and that's PRICELESS!

Anyways, I'm trying on lipstick nowadays. I don't like to color my lips before but now I'm a convert. Just like nail polish, I want to collect different colors.lol.

  thrifted harem shorts, thrifted top, Parisian bag, red flats:gift, bangles:YRYSI'm going home this Christmas and I am beyond excited. I already bought tickets this afternoon and I'm thinking of what to buy for my loved ones. Can't wait to eat seafoods, fresh vegetables and fruits and most especially my mom's recipes (lutong bahay). This is the most important holiday for me since I only go home once a year. As the song goes ... "♪♫ May tatalo pa ba sa Pasko ng Pinas? ♪♫ ♪♫"
And I wanna thank you guys for the comments and suggestions about books on my previous post. Greatly appreciated!Have a nice week ahead lovelies! 

books and reading

I have come up with a New Year's Resolution already. That is, to READ and INVEST on books. I really wish I was a bookworm when I was young. I regret I did not encourage myself to read  books before. I only read books needed to boost academic standing. I did tried a novel but it took months and even years for me to finish it. Imagine that. I easily get tired while reading and it puts me to sleep. Whenever I have hard time sleeping, I just grab one and poof! i'm asleep. haha. 
It's never too late. I have to fix myself and start reading. How about you? are you an avid reader? If so, can you recommend a good book? I'll try my best to hunt them at book stores. heheThanks in advance!
