It's December once again and almost time for me to go home for the holidays. As usual, I will likely be welcomed with a lot of - "you gained weight, you got fat" comments from relatives. I don't mind it now as I am used to it at this point and I am confident enough in my fitness and body that I just let these comments go. What really makes me sad ( Read more... )

Just a quick update about my other blog and my new latest inspiration! The blog has just celebrated its first month and I am enjoying sharing daily outfits and style tips (albeit pedestrian). I have enough entries now to warrant the link within widget. Ha! Hoping for more style inspirations! I know some of you here read my other blog too so a big

So once again, I'm helping organize our team Christmas party this year. Honestly, I don't feel like it this year cause I have a long list of to-do before I take off for Manila but I feel bad leaving V in the lurch to do all the prep work ( Read more... )

I've been on a reading-drought lately. In the past year of so, all I could ever really read nowadays is Margaret Atwood (or books by way of Atwood - like Verne's). Since I've gone through her titles at the public library, I've decided to try on other authors (Gore Vidal, Philip Roth, etc) but they barely gripped me. For the first time in so many ( Read more... )

So finally I managed to create a new blog devoted to all the fashion entries I've been lately dumping on here. You can visit me at Style - in real life that will focus on everyday fashion for practical girls on a budget.

Hope I can see you there too.

Every time I watch a 90s music video on youtube, I'm bound to come across a comment of someone waxing lyrical for that time of grunge/alternative music and Generation X jadedness. While I do feel nostalgic for the 90s (my go-to playlist on Launchcast is 90s Alternative), I feel so lucky that I experienced the 90s first-hand. I was in high school ( Read more... )

We've been having such weird weather here in Pleasantville lately. It's been raining a lot in the early mornings and while it stays fairly dry (and hot!) the rest of the day, it quickly gets overcast in the afternoons. This weather schizophrenia makes it really tricky to dress up in the mornings. Often, most people leave their homes all geared in ( Read more... )

I'm in love with this sleeveless suit vest from Romwe. I've had many sleepless nights thinking up what looks I can create with it to justify purchase. It's just the perfect accessory to pair with dark denim skinny jeans + tee or with a pair of printed shorts paired with a bold-colored top. *Drool ( Read more... )

In my previous post I showed you the cool utility vest I picked up from Liz Claiborne. I'm in love with it and it so perfectly complements my style point of view (feminine pieces mixed in with boyfriend basics).

Two weeks ago, I flew to the other side of the Pacific for a week-long summit in Sunnyvale then a side trip to my tita and tito's in Houston. Although this is my second time in US, I didn't get a chance to go sightseeing or check out the shopping scene the first time. So I jumped at the opportunity to extend my stay and have a little fun ( Read more... )
