Random Things 16

Hot pandesal and kape on a cold rainy day. Classic breakfast.

I was really craving for "cream" since yesterday, feeding my craving! yay!

Goldilock's is still the best. It's affordable, it's classic "Pinoy" pasalubong destination for everybody. They just make the best polvoron, puto, and mocha cake. I have tried a lot and I find myself going back to the classic favorites of Filipinos.

Meet the "makulit" Mingming in our home.

Sun, please come out

We need the sun to come out. It's been 3 days of depressed weather. Let's all pray for a better weather.

"Look" Board

Sharing the "look" board I made today. I am going for the look that is causally elegant, naturally stylish, simple but not plain. More flats. I don't know why but I am wearing more flats than heels lately. :)

Here's the board I made in the beginning of the year:

I have to change this a bit, I am feeling I need more color in my wardrobe and more "easy" and fresher pieces.

August 19 - stormy day

Due to the tropical storm, I wasn't able to come to work; so I used my time to work on my freelance jobs (sorry can't post pictures), to browse, to read, to do at home spa, to watch afc and local shows, to yoga (again).

Stay safe and dry everyone.

Facial Mask by Aromacology Sensi and of course, tea time on a cold rainy day.

Don't throw those bottles, reuse them.

Stones and texts

It has always been my favorite candle holder in the house.

with Milka, the winner of Project Runway

I looooooooove her aesthetic. She makes clothes that women would love to wear. Very clean, very detailed, very feminine, very her. She inspires me to find my own point of view too. She was my favorite in Project Runway and so when she won, I was so happy.

She studies at Slim's, too. So hello schoolmate. She's so nice.

*fan moment*

Holiday | Eid Mubarak

Yesterday, I was so excited for today's holiday. I could sleep for as long as I would want and I ate everything that I craved for. I was literally craving for rice, cakes, comfort food. I did not jog yesterday and I just went home then ate early dinner and then took a looooong nap, I woke up at 1030pm. This is vacation for me. I deserved it, I was pushing myself too hard in the past 4 months.

And today, I woke up early. I drank 3 cups of brewed coffee, ate heavy breakfast and my sister and I watched "The Elephant Man," a beautiful movie. Nothing beats the classics. Now I am blogging.

Eid Mubarak to everyone.

My tatay's plants are blossoming


My mother asked me to take picture of this, she's so happy it blossoms. I honestly thought this is hopeless.

My father is happy I know, plant nya to whe he was still alive eh. :)

These are his, too. This is my favorite. Kitchen must have!

Flowers and its fruits

Shine on

At the hardware store, I bought an acrylic paint - for my bags. Got it for only Php 165 only.

I learned how to make this because of Cravings. Since I was a newbie then, they signed me up and another officemate to a bagmaking class - out of my will; yet, i guess, it worked for me. I learned a skill, for free. :)
