plaid polo: Dickies/dad's closet | pink dress: HK 

so this is what i wore today, a huge plaid polo i looted from my dad's closet (again!) haha. yes, its becoming a habit already. i mean men's clothes are really easy to mix and match plus they're so comfy to wear. i swear! (it rhymes!! haha) wore this out as a cover up to my dress, which i'm not really fond of wearing, because the weather is really bipolar but i kind of predicted the weather already (like a weather forecaster :p). yeah, seriously. it drizzles in the morning, the scorching heat of the sun is unbearable in the midday and another heavy rain pours at night (actually, right now as we speak, its raining outside our house).

so its the last friday of the year and tomorrow's the new year's eve, which reminds me of the movie which i haven't watched yet. anyway, back to my post. since tomorrow's the new year's eve already, my sister and i accompanied our mom to the city as she ran errands and bought groceries for our dinner tomorrow. today was really draining, everyone was also on their last minute shopping and all shopping malls are packed. we also went to church this afternoon and i prayed for a blessed 2012 for me, my family and everyone! :)

advance happy new year guys!!!

shout out: happy birthday to my uncle and belated happy birthday to my mom :)

anyway, i'm back in the blogosphere. haha
for two days, i was freaking out 'cause i really thought i lost my blog 'for good'. yes, you've read it right. i don't exactly know what happened. i guess blogger was just acting up again but the thought of losing my blog really scared me. i couldn't access it, they said they couldn't find my blog. i waited for two days for it to get back to normal but nothing happened. i felt impatient waiting for nothing. i mean i don't have that much time to create a new blog plus i'm really senti when it comes to this blog. chos!

everyone, meet my sister/photgrapher.

sweater: wrangler/dad's closet | denim shorts: thrifted | flat shoes: department store | wedge: mom's 

this is a really funny pose. i accidentally tripped and my sister thought it was a cool pose. but come on, who are we kidding here? i looked really stupid here! haha just can't stop laughing.

this is my look. wore this wedge for picture taking purposes and of course i changed my footwear into those comfortable flats because i knew that we'd be going downtown and trust me no one would dare wear heels there. you'll end up looking overdressed. 

the weather here is pretty bad. the rain's been pouring so hard, another typhoon is said to hit our country anytime soon. so i just hope everyone's safe wherever they are. so anyway that is why i wore this sweater today. got this sweater from my dad's closet. this one's really old. i've seen pictures of my dad wearing this sweater way back when he wasn't married yet. yes, vintage, that's the word.

and yeah today is my uncle's birthday, yesterday was my mom's and tomorrow is another uncle's birthday. now, you've probably imagined how fat i have become over the holiday! haha well i actually gained weight but let's not get to the numbers.

coffee cat

12 | 10 | 11

yeah i know its been awhile since my last post, been awol for what? a week? well anyway i'm back cause i just realized i have a lot of pending posts. so here's one to make up for my absence for the past days. 

went to coffee cat after our christmas party last december 10th (yes that was also the day of our christmas party - see previous post). right after the party, we went to sm to meet some local bloggers, (kryz, laureen and camille) then mariel, mary fel and i went to my place to get a lil rest. past dinner time we followed our friends at i.t. and ate some free doughnuts (thank you ken for the kk) at krispy kreme and after everyone left we went to the night christmas bazaar to check some cool and cheap goodies, ate and played there. after we got bored we decided to try coffee cat (i've been wanting to check the place since last month) which was just a few blocks away (exactly located at J.P Morgan bldg. if i'm not mistaken). so yeah practically i was pigging out the entire day.

on the other hand, 3 more days to go before christmas here in the Phil's. and in a few days time its 2012. i'm just excited, you know. and God just gave me a lot of reasons why.
anyway, have a jolly holiday everyone! :)
