Studded Gold

I don't know what to feel right now, super irritated maybe, coz one of our Bloggers United 6 sponsor cancelled at the last minute. Hope it gets resolved ASAP coz it only adds to my stress and bawal yun bilang I'm still recuperating from sickness. Flu naman. Tsss. Been going back & forth to the hospital for weeks now. Pansin niyo? Haha. I don't know if it's the apartment or if it's me lang talaga.  Anyway, I'm currently looking for a new job, homebased and full-time naman. Hope it works out, pray for me!:) Anyway, here are outfit shots from last month. I know I don't get to post often na coz of our sucky internet connection na forever magload and upload. So much to post, so little time! Haha. RIP Paul Walker! (random lol)

Birthday Suit

Can't believe I just turned 30. The big 3-0. Also can't believe it's only now that I'm experiencing what most of you dread, yup, quarter life crisis. So many things I wanna do, so many things I want to run away from. If you're my Facebook friend you might have seen my status about the numerous careers I want to try. Flight attendant, Cotton On sales girl in Singapore, DJ (David Guetta levels), immigration officer, field reporter, Red Cross volunteer, travel agent, and the list goes on and on. Ang lala. Haha. At least there's one thing I'm sure of, I want to travel more. I'm also moving to a new apartment! A fresh start, a new place, new inspirations. Praying for guidance. I'm still sticking to styling though. It's still my first love. When you step off the 20s plate you reassess and re-evaluate tons of things, you spread your wings of independence to the fullest. Then you can only hope things turn out for the best, hoping you'd end up where you've always wanted to be. *fingers crossed* Moving on! My birthday weekend was a blast. So much love and celebrations and surprises.So much alcohol too. Lol. Anyway, here's what I wore last Saturday.:) Photos by my cousins Therese and Patrick!:)

From SG top, Cruella & Co skirt, Mango belt

Mango ID bracelet, Casio watch, Cotton On peace bracelet set

 Fancy Feet Valentino inspired heels

I think mas bongga my outfit if I wore more accs noh? Would love to have any of these fabulous blue diamond rings from My Jewelry Box. On my next birthday pls? Haha. Anyway, I'm mostly wearing pieces I bought from Singapore. Shempre bargain finds! The top I bought from Bugis for $10 (P330), the Cotton On bracelet set is on sale for $5 (P160), the Casio gold watch (beem looking for a replacement for my Aldo watch and this is perfect!) I also bought from Bugis for $45 (P1500). Not bad huh! Also bought the belt on sale from Mango for P900:) So if you're going to Singapore don't forget to go to Bugis! Treasure trove and shopping haven for bargain seekers like me:) Gooo.

“Dear God," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry...have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be sincere - be deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.”

Fringe Benefits

Was supposed to post this last week but as some of you know, I experienced and is still experiencing a major online world burnout. So now when I open my laptop I just mostly do online streaming and avoid getting immersed into other people's world. I guess I'm starting to hate the feeling of disconnection from too much connection. Gets? Basta! My semi hibernation resulted to more time with cousins and childhood friends (yey) and  a resurrected love affair with alcohol. I do it in moderation though, my 19 year old self would be proud. So anyway, something major happened this week! Not talking about work or blogging. Lost my Lola yesterday. Funny (and then it started to get freaky) how people confused my fb status and thought it was my mom who died. Super awkwaaaard. Anyway, thanks for all those who sent their love. You know who you are and I love you:) Our family is more happy than sad knowing Mama Babes (my lola) is free from physical pain and is now living the rest of her life in heaven. Will write a proper tribute soon but for now a late post nalang muna. :) 

Thriftaholic fringe top, Be Bitko shorts, The Ramp necklace, +-x% bracelet, Fancy Feet wedges

Wore this to a quick movie date.  Watched The Bling Ring and, um, let's just say I expected more. Loved Sofia Coppola's other movies though. Haha bawi bawi pag may time. That's all for now! Will post more soon. Miss you all!:)
