HIDING THE BAD FEELINGS WITH BLACK



1st Wednesday. Raw School Day. After long hours of client calls and PR pitch for a personal care product, my colleague Ariane and I went off to Fort Bonifacio Global City to attend Raw School. The day was not sunny, neither rainy though when the evening came, there was the usual rainshowers that caused by the outgoing typhoon Juan. I was not feeling so good when I wake up in the morning but I knew I just had to go on since there's just too much to accomplish. So I just decided to use this Julia dress from Robinson's Department Store accented with this wide black belt given to me by Ariane as a gift and paired with a dark-gray leggings I bought from Popstyle boutique in Panay Avenue. As usual, I use my everyday bag from 50th Avenue-Robinson's Place Manila. And since it was raining the past few days I walked into this pair of jelly shoes from Rusty Lopez that I bought from their Cubao Expo branch.

Ariane and I have been working together for more than a year and sometimes, we come to the office wearing the same shade of outfit without even talking about what we have to wear the next day. I guess that's just the magic of people coming along together for a long time. I told her that after today is done, I promise to take a rest so this cold + cough + flu + allergy won't be aggrevated. I really feel so bad but I can't skip raw school. We've missed one session and there won't be another one.


Ariane and I at the streets of Global City, wearing the same shade for the day. Our client even asked us: "Did you girls agreed on your outfit?" :)

DESPITE TYPHOON JUAN IN MANILA



This is another typical day in Manila with rainstorms and showers. Well, actually, not only that. Yesterday was the day for Juan, Philippine's name for its typhoon. Whilst there is one, it is not a reason not to be fashionable. Rainy days tend to be a day to be lazy and yesterday was one of them. I have been too lazy to think of what to wear yesterday aside from the fact that I really did not press any outfit for the week. So before I went to bath, I found this baby blue shawl that was given to me by a friend. I found it to be very complimentary with this fuschia spaghetti-strapped spandex blouse from Mango, given to be by another friend for Christmas. I hoped I had another bottom outfit with the same color but I just managed to slipped into this black, high-waisted, pencil-cut skirt from a visit to a thrift shop in Quiapo with my colleague, Ariane. And while I actually came to the office with a flat, jelly shoes, I changed them with my blue Janilyn stiletto shoes that I bought years back when I attended AXA's Annual Awards. Another thing, I felt like I was going be terribly sick - having sore throat as one of the impending symptoms. I just don't want to be sick so, I figured I just have to focus my energy with some positive things like feeling good with what I wear! Oh well, I still feel sick. :(

Back-Lace

I felt especially sad the first time I missed my blog entry. I have been trying every year to end it thru writing religiously about anything. But I guess, that's just not meant to happen this year. Another reason is because blogging about my fashion and daily statement makes me feel frustrated everytime I see my photos. God, how big I've become over the years. Is it my metabolism slowing down or is it my appetite speeding up? I can't answer any of that but one thing is for sure, I am really delighted with every meal that I take. So I guess I just have to balance that and then, I said to myself: maybe writing back on this blog will help me motivate shedding down some fats, working out in the morning without the worries of "I might get fat" everytime I eat. I thought it would help me a bit if I see myself everyday either getting bigger or slimmer thru the photos that I take of myself. Haha, I'm just that crazy humiliating myself like this.



Today, I slipped into this gray dress that I bought from Robinson's Manila last Friday. The first time I saw this from the racks of Cosmopolitan, I knew I would have to buy this. Doesn't matter if my upper limbs are becoming as big as my upper legs. I just want the dress. It was mall sale and there's just too many people skimming on the racks like vultures. If I let the dress go, I would have to regret it the whole week - or maybe, the whole month! The black lace detail was the one that caught my attention. It was up to the waist and it looks so sexy even if you don't fit it. It was like the dress was telling me: "you'll never know what you're missing." C'mon! And you know how many times I took picture of myself today just to get rid of those bulges from exposing on the pics? Forever! Now, I really have to work it out. Nevertheless, this dress did not fail me from making me feel young and sexy even if I'm too conscious that my tummy is getting big like salbabida! :)

Why Only White?

A Prelude to Kotex Luxe Experience
Kotex Bloggers' Event
September 28, 2010
7PM, Bizu Greenbelt Makati

WOW was the first word I read as soon as we arrived at Bizu, where we were invited for a bloggers' event. I guess I was not really paying attention that I didn't the big question posted underneath the banner design. Plus the fact that I was excited taking pictures all over with my new-found friends.



So the question when the program commenced: Why Only White? I was asking the same thing to myself. But then, I said, so what? it's just a pad. It wasn't until I realized how far long it can affect my mood during my period. Isn't it that us, girls have these mood swings during our "visits?" Sometimes, I feel like I'm too grumpy and sad and all. And that nothing fits right because you feel the pain of these "visits" all over.

Well, my perspective about pads changed when the people from Kimberly Clark asked us to design our own pad during the program. I was having my period that night and I imagined, if I was to design my own pad, how would I like it be when I wear it? It was like designing your own shirt and actually wearing it and it was really fun! I never knew a pad can be a part of your fashion statement. Well, yes it's just a pad and nobody will know what you were wearing. It doesn't matter to anybody really, but it matters to you, to me, to us girls who wears it. Because we all feel the same way when period tries to put a stop on our activities. We all share the same sentiments when hormones hits us and makes us feel sappy. And the best thing that could happen to a period is a nice pad that you can wear. Nice in the sense that it does not only give you the protection every pad is offering, but nice, that it will also make you feel like you're wearing a statement.

So I thought, this is how I want my pad to be when i wear it:


My Kotex Pad design (hey, my work was chosen for the night along with 2 other designs!)

Too bad, I'm on the last phase of my period and I won't be able to use the Kotex Luxe samples that were given to us. Anyhow, I would still be using them next month and I just can't wait!

Meantime, I hope to share some of the flicks we got that night. I really enjoyed these bunch of beautiful girls and having them around made me feel forever young. I wouldn't even mind to be with them more often.
