I ended up eating last night. We had guests over so my mom cooked again. The food just looked so scrumptuous it was hard to resist. At first, I just took one asparagus. Then I started getting more until I tried all the food served (excep for the chicken)

Its okay though. The food I ate was around the same amount as what I would usually eat anyway (meaning I didnt end up binging since I was on hibernation!)

What momma served:

Flavored fried chicken


Asparagus wrapped in Bacon


Carbonara


Focacia Bread


Grilled Salmon Steak with Pesto


The usual salad.


and Baked muscles (tahong) with cheese

For dessert we had vanilla icecream in coffee jelly topped with gourmet chocolate :)

So, with food like that for dinner, who would'nt wanna eat, right?

Sometimes its good having a mom who's such a good cook. I just think she should cook healthier stuff for our everyday meals so I would actually be enticed to eat. Haha!

Anyway, I tweeted last night about being a size 6! I AM!! I cannot believe it. I've actually been a size 6 my entire life. The only reason I thought I was a size 8 was cause the stuff I have from Topshop were all size 8 but size 6 fits me more. I just realized now that I have size 8 clothes cause I like them loose.

How'd I know? I checked out the Topshop sale (which I am absolutely regretting for not going on their opening sale!) yesterday and I tried on some stuff realizing that I wasnt an 8 after all.

You guys remember this corset from their summer collection? Well I tried it on and I was surprised that the size 6 fits me just right :O I am officially proud to say that I am a size 6. The size 8 fell when I wore it!

I'll be begging my mom to allow me to the Topshop sale in MOA this Saturday. I hope I'll be allowed!

I'm planning to miss out on food the whole week due to the weekend's events. It was insane. Buffet after buffet. And you all know me when it comes to food especially buffets, right? I've said this earlier in school but, during the weekend I ate enough for me to go on hibernation.

So yesterday was the Baptism of my cousin followed by the 85th Birthday of one of the lolos in my mom's side.

Woke up at around 630am again as usual to fix up (even though I slept at 3 the night before)and headed off to Church in St. Lourdes Manila for the Baptism. The ceremony was around 2 hours and afterwards we had the reception in Chinatown.

It was a pretty cool place. I thought it looked very different from before (last time I was there was around 7 years ago in the baptism of the celebrant's sister). Food was pretty much the same. I didnt get to take pictures of them though because it was a sit-down resto and I'd feel weird with everyone staring at me especially since I was seated with adults.

This is the baby who just became a part of the church :)

Isn't she a cutie? And I so loved her reception dress too. Pretty!

My prettiest cousins :)

We stayed in Manila for a while especially since even after the reception, my dad's siblings all went to my tito's house in Manila to talk about the plans for next week. We were there till around 7 till we decided to go to Vivere for the next party.

Well, we were kind of OFF theme because as mentioned, we came from a baptismal. The theme was Hawaiian. I tried my best to look Hawaiian so I just removed my blazer and untucked my top.

The food was healthy food (probably because they were all old people and definitely did NOT need any more cholesterol in their lives) and I just ended up eating a bit because we also just came from another event (I finished off the baptismal cake and cassava in my tito's house. =)))

What was on my plate: Asparagus salad, chicken pate`, fish paste, eggplant salad, and chocolate truffles.

The program of the party was great. It was really funny. His grandchildren did really good presentations which kept the audience laughing. It would surely be a memorable 85th birthday for him :)

So all in all, yesterday was pretty jampacked and yet it was really fun because I was able to spend time with my cousins on both sides of the family. I've also got to see some distant relatives that I havent seen in years so that made me glad.

With the boys of the Dela Fuente side


With the girls of the Antonio side

I AM PROUD TO BE AN ANTONIO DELA FUENTE :)

What I wore: Top and skirt from Mango, Shoes from Julia, Bag from Ferragamo, Blazer by Ramil Marquez (from mom).

Had lunch in HEAT at Edsa Shang today cause my little boy cousin celebrated his birthday :)

(He didnt want to take a picture with me so thats the closest I could get of him smiling at the camera =)))

Heat is an international buffet which serves from Asian, European, to American cuisine. I was hoping to find Macaroons since they had those in Circles in Makati Shang before but unfortunately there were none. But hey, they had cool Cold Rock-ish icecream served though!

This is what I had on my plate:

What's on the plate: Sushi, maki, steak, peking duck, shrimp dumpling, pork dumpling, asparagus, chicken salad, salmon, spicy salmon, shrimp with tomato appetizer, and french soft bread.

After the first round, I didnt bother going back for more because the plate practically had everything I wanted in it. I proceeded to the dessert.

Whats on the plate: Cheesecake, chocolate eclair, dark chocolate cake, choco mango mousse, brazo de mercedes.

It was freezing cold in the hotel so I brought my little cousins out for a walk and we had a mini photoshoot!

I just thought this picture was too cute to not be cropped

Who wants more food porn?

Anyhoo, time to talk about the outfit. I've actually worn the same ensemble when we were in San Francisco 2 years ago except that now I'm using a black bag instead of the yellow I wore and I'm actually using a good pair of black shoes instead of my old gray crocs.

I really love this top. I can wear it again and again and never get tired of it. I think its a beauty. It makes any outfit really girly and sophisticated. I actually bought this top with Steph when we were in 2nd year. I bought it in a size 14 because I didnt bother looking at the size cause we were in Rockwell that time and we had to rush to Serendra since my mom was waiting for me there. Ah well, atleast it will fit me forever, right? Haha!

Tomorrow I will be out with my family the whole day again. Theres a baptism in the morning and we have something in Vivere at night. Oh boy do I have to get my butt kickin to study. All I have is tonight !

What I wore: Top from Dorothy Perkins, Shorts from Solo, Tights from Capezio, Shoes from BC Footwear, Bag from Mango.

I went for the gangster look today. I got inspired by Son Dam bi. Haha. She's like the Ciara of Korea. I only wore this outfit for like an hour though just to go to Town and back. I was in Town to pay for the skirt I bought online. It will be shipped tomorrow. I can't wait to show it to you guys !

I also found the silver cuffs I've been looking for except that the ones I found had some sort of design so its not smooth silver. I was looking for something like Betty's cuffs which I absolutely adored.

What I wore: Tank from Mango, Pants from Fila, Jacket from Lee, Shoes from Nike.
