Today was a good day. I first headed to AAV to do my share of community service for those who were severely affected by the typhoon. I only intended to go help at Woodrose but they were almost done when I arrived so I decided to help at St. James instead.

Though I was only able to stay until 2, I think that I was still able to do do a fair share of all the work that needed to be done unlike some of those other people who were just obviously there for the wrong intentions, no offence. Thank goodness though that when we arrived at St. James there werent much people yet so we were all really able to contribute something since every person's help counted. It was a major work out for our arms though but hell it was fun!

Afterwards, I headed to my grandma's house because it was our bonding time with her. Us three cousins plus her. It was nice spending time with her again because its seriously been so long! Even though we live right beside each other, my sister and I barely get to visit her so its good that we had today to catch up. We were just there in the TV room and we watched TV while having pizza. I had four slices of yellow cab. I think its because I only had an orange for breakfast and I exhausted all my energy at Alabang. Our granny's birthday is also coming up soo I'm excited for that! I'm thinking SURPRISE!

Anyway thats all. For now, I will leave all of you with some interesting fashion forward pieces.

First picture is Jeremy Scott's Flinstone inspired collection with his infamous angel wing sneakers in a bright rainbow color while the second and third pictures show origami heels of which I dont know the designer. I so so so LOVE them! I really get attracted to pieces like these which are loud and out of this world. Definitely one of a kind ;)

To Quiapo Or Not We Go!

So today we were going to go to Quiapo to buy some camera equipment for my sister. Once I heard Quiapo, this was the first outfit I thought of. Nothing screams vintage more than this. I thought that this outfit would really send off the vintage old style vibe that Quiapo gives which is why I wore it. Unfortunately, after dressing up, I was told that our trip was cancelled because of the floods. Instead, we just went to Town to do what else but shop.

My sister and I got our rewards and we had lunch at Pepper Lunch afterwards. It was basically one of those days when you have nothing else to do but go to the mall to eat and buy something then leave again. Really lazy day if you ask me.

But anyhoo, guess what I brought home today!!

NEW SHOOEEESS! I am finally able to get a hold of a pair of high-tops. They're amazing. I'm in love :) Now I have new dancing shoes. I cant be any happier. I cant wait to wear them out! I'm soo excited to start dancing in them. My sister on the other hand asked for a koosh ball for her reward. Yeah, she's a cheap thrill like that. Well, we all have our cheap thrill moments anyway just like how I get mine from thrifting.

What I wore: Thrifted padded star printed blue top, DIY'ed shorts, Stockings from Capezio, Shoes from CMG, Vest from Topshop, Bag from Mango.

Pink and Print

Today I finally decided to debut my denim print leggings. Love them! They give absolute comfort and style.

I wore them out to another outing with my family. We first had lunch in Kanin Club. At first we doubted we were going to be able to get seats since we've already been there twice and never got to eat there since it was always waiting list and my dad never wannted to wait. Fortunately, we arrived early enough to be the second on the wait list and so we decided to wait for it since the line wasnt so long.

Kanin Club was always full and so we really expected a lot from it. Though it serves native Filipino dishes, it was a unique restaurant since they managed to experiment with different tastes and come up with new exciting delicacies. Just say for example their CRISPY dinuguan and their turon with ube,beans, and macapuno. They were definitely different from your traditional Filipino food.

I had a vegetarian lumpia (first picture) which I really loved. It didnt even taste like lumpia at all! It had tofu in it and it kind of tasted like Pad thai because of the wansoi. My experience at Kanin Club was great and I would definitely come back for more.

After lunch, we headed to Cash and Carry and eventually, to Rockwell. I ended up splurging again once we got to Rockwell. Now I owe my mom 3k. I am seriously burying myself in debt! Unfortunately, we didnt have the time to go to the Artisan Bazaar (and I am sure I missed on a LOT!!) but I'm sure there will be more to come and so I am hoping that I'll be able to attend the rest instead.

Outfit post for today includes my sister who obviously shares the same love for leggings as me.

What she wore: Top and leggings both from Kids of Bayo, Shoes from Crocs.


What I wore: Shirt from Hot Topic, Thrifted pink vest, Denim print leggings from Topshop, Shoes from Payless Shoes, Bag from Louis Vuitton.

The Day I Took The ACET

All in blue for Ateneo. The ACET was such a STRESS especially with all the traffic going there. I had to walk from frickkin KATIPUNAN to the highschool building of Ateneo only to find out that my car would get to the building 5 minutes before they let the people in. (Meaning just a few minutes after I arrived all tired and sweaty).

I obviously do not want to get into Ateneo as much as a lot of other people do. I mean Jesus Christ, I even forgot what my first choice was. (That question alone already felt like a test question to me :). In general, the ACET seemed easier than the UPCAT though I think that I fared the same in both. I guessed a ton of stuff in the ACET. I was actually really positive about it at first but being in the same room as Jicoy, I was forced to feel the opposite. Comparing answers with someone who's number 8 in his batch is a big NO NO. After comparing answers with him my spirit just died.

I'm trying my best to think positive right now. As I've mentioned earlier, Ateneo is not a priority school to me. I think I would much rather still go to Benilde (though we all know the difference of being a Benilde graduate and an Ateneo graduate --I'd be very willing to change this generalization of people though :D). To me, its okay that God wouldnt let me pass Ateneo if he has better plans for me. I really wouldnt mind not getting in Ateneo as long as God still puts me in a college I deserve. (The whole not getting in a college thing is really haunting me right now). Right now I am just putting my trust in God to put me in the college that he thinks is right for me. (And hopefully, there IS actually A college).

So anyway, other stories were that we had lunch in Eastwood before the test. Ate in Uncle Cheffy's where I had delicious Warm Couscous Salad while my family had pizza.

After the very hectic (not to mention HOT!!!) ACET, we went back to the South. We moved from several restaurants until we finally decided to just have sushi at Terriyaki Boy instead. I had the Vegetarian sushi which was sooo FILLING! Its also very cheap at only around 150 pesos. YUMM!

Tomorrow is a new day. New adventures, here I come! To the Rockwell Artisan bazaar (they have extended until tomorrow!)I gooo!

What I wore: Top, Skirt, and bag all from Mango, Shoes from Keds, Sunglasses bought online, Thrifted denim jacket.
