chapter two: high tea 2008-07-03 13:27:22 Food: one of my greatest passions in life
now now, what do I eat?
chapter one: indecisiveness 2008-07-03 12:23:06 I tend to take a quick bunch of snaps before leaving home ever since I’ve learnt to dress and makeup in under 20 minutes, which includes choosing clothes and ironing them if needed. Just in case I tend to look idiotic posing in public. So now I have a hard time deciding which set of [...]
sundial 2008-07-03 12:10:35 Sharon’s post on her gorgeous red espadrilles reminded me I have a pair of wedges I’ve only worn twice. The good thing about buying stuff on a vacation is that you cannot wait to incorporate your loot– well, it does feel like loot– into your outfits from a dearth of the ability to delay [...] Read more:sundial
girl in saffron 2008-07-02 00:40:46 Whilst clearing my shoes the other day, I realized I got stuck in a peep-toe rut. Well, I didn’t have the good fortune to inherit my mom’s toes which are placed close to one another so mine don’t look all-that-fantastic in non peep-toes. But when I started my shoe collection (to wear, duh) at 17, [...]
singing the blues and the pinks 2008-07-02 00:20:45 The better part of Monday afternoon and the late morning was spent at the reserve and reservoir area doing some monkey research. The walking and trekking is insane, when I first began I decreed it’d replace all my feeble attempts at weekly exercise. Although running might be more high-intensity for the abdominals. Long gone are [...]
ciao, tutti! 2008-07-18 17:14:42 Thanks for all your lovely words so far! Off to The Land of Oz. Where hopefully, wizards abound! Hah. Be back in August!
z for. . 2008-07-18 08:53:09 It’s another Zebra Day. Bleary eyed in the morning, I tumbled out of bed and got changed. One of my research mates said she managed to get the car. Another would be late, so we zipped off for a breakfast of banana prata and teh-cinno.
Nanu decided she’d lie down and laze around. .
And I, too, [...]
busy, busy 2008-07-18 08:52:03 Finally I’m done with packing. All I need is to dump in some last minute stuff tomorrow, like contact lens case and eyeglasses. Wheewy. A tad freaked out at the amount of stuff to be brought to battle the winter cold, I thought, shit, I’ll die if I exceed baggage limit. This time I’m only [...]
a shoe story. . . 2008-07-17 12:39:56 It’s headache buying a pair of flats. At least to me, since I live in high heels all the time, unless I’m barefooted.
So I dedicated one hour on Monday to hunt for a pair of flats. It’s quite an arduous task, worse than mastering a piece by Chopin, because. . I probably need Flats [...] Read more:story
colors are coloring the world 2008-07-16 13:53:34 Silver silver silver shoes. . zip up thy feet
The prettiest cut-outs embellished with bright beads.
P.S. I secretly wish they were higher. If only I had my custom shoe couturier. Heaven.

animalia 2008-07-16 02:08:10 The past two days I’ve been scuttling and running around. Today, though, I finally have about two hours to spare. Back from the derm’s, hopefully he’ll kill all my acne and then I can save some money.
The earlier part of yesterday was spent buying essentials for my trip. Like power adaptors, travel-sized contact lens solution [...]
weekend-er 2008-07-13 11:45:37 The week’s ended. I hope I survive this week. Gonna be one hell of an insane marathon, before I fly off, since I have received a few work assignments. To top it off, I think I’m gonna be dead next semester given the non-school workload, brain research, graduation project and all. God bless my soul. [...]
something like that 2008-07-13 11:35:30 A few weeks back I did a few shots of stuff I was *supposed* to sell, but my local Yahoo Auctions is down, and Ebay’s a bitch in more than one way. It’s way easier to be a buyer than a seller, in any circumstance. Anyhows, I dragged the yellow-and-white pinstripped shorts out. Wore [...] Read more:something

jewelry, my revelry 2008-07-12 11:38:46 Sometimes I take a break from buying accessories a.k.a. costume jewelry by the truckload, you know those types that I pile on as though there are no tomorrows in question. And then I start to look at those lovingly encrusted with stones and precious metals.
So I stumbled upon My Jewelry Box.Com, offering an entire plethora [...]
the rising of hemlines 2008-08-05 11:45:03 The sun shines even brighter than ever, after two weeks of chattering teeth and not perspiring, I’ve become unaccustomed to the weather here, bemoaning the buckets full of sweat and the insane sun. The perfect panacea is rising hemlines. School started today.
Sunday was hot. So I wore my high-waisted denim skirt. I buy every price [...]
dress me up 2008-08-02 10:58:18 I’m home. I had a blast and such a smashing time, although the photos will have to wait since there are tons and. . I swear I’ve been tame this time. Back here means I get to wear shorter hemlines because it’s so bloody hot I’m melting. Getting used to the chill in The Land [...] Read more:dress
pin-up 2008-08-20 12:25:03 For the last three outfits have I been recycling my bottoms. That’s the handy thing about bottom separates. You can wear them in a gazillion different ways, kinda like loose slouchy tops. Cold turkey is when you can afford stuff and when you’re surrounded by so much stuff, yet you cannot buy them because you’re [...]
confusica 2008-08-18 03:04:37 I have been bursting out in sporadic lines to Spanish to the wrong people, and then in even more sporadic lines of Bahasa Indonesian to the wrong people as well, I think I’m fast losing it. Simple liners like “what is the time now?” and God knows what else come out in all the wrong [...]
in the gaol scheme of things 2008-08-17 11:03:29 In the name of frugality have I been piling up my schedule with work, going for free meals courtesy of some very kind souls, and the odd occasion that I’d somehow transit through a mall means the only things
I dare to bring are a few bucks of cash and my transport travel card, just [...]
chunky calves 2008-08-12 12:44:48 I have come to the frightening conclusion that if I don’t update now, the next entry will explode with photos. As it is, this one already has. So I was congratulating myself upon successfully leading a relatively frugal new life, with a savings plan outlined given how I really must save properly in order to [...] Read more:calves
how do i name this 2008-08-08 12:44:43 Whilst I sort out my photos of The Land of Oz, I’ll upload them in batches. Like cookies.
Didn’t take all my outfit shots over the past few days, *hopefully* my friends will be kind enough to send them to me, but it’s better to err on the side of not being too hopeful.
This outfit was [...]
maximize it 2008-09-09 10:20:47 So many dresses gripped me with their colorful prints and gradients. I love color, I love monotone, I love everything. Variety, like the adage goes, is the spice of life. And hawt is it, indeed. I decided on the maxi dress when the shorter stripped version made me look a little like I was starring [...]
largesse! 2008-09-07 13:38:33 I was just about to sleep when I came across the craziest creator ever. Oh boy, am I hooked.
Just look at how insanely delicious these are. Created by Elizaveta, I don’t know how to describe her except wickedly ingenious. Her products feature the coolest styling ever. They’re eccentric. They’re huge. They’re just my thang. I [...]
sterling 2008-09-05 11:27:49 Thank you all for the suggestions on the shoes the post before. I decided to debut the cutout zebra booties, thinking they’d add a quirk to the shirt dress. I crossed my fingers and slipped them on. Three hours of sleep fogs the mind really badly. It also makes you take really strange photos, and [...]
suggestion, please 2008-09-01 12:09:37 A quick one, please dream up/think up/offer the best solution of shoes to match this dress I’ve seen myself in twice. The first time being in the changing room. Photos taken eons ago, way more than one-odd years ago, after I was badly sunburnt.
It’s an ultra-ruffled shirt dress from Marciano, with tons of zips. Zips [...]
mermaid 2008-08-31 11:45:13 I love this turquoise dress with the most delightful prints ever. The ruffle front feels mermaid-ish, and I thought it’d be an awesome pairing with my new hairband. You know you’ve really gone the frugal path when you walk into Accessorize and only buy the stuff on sales, rather than walk out having spent at [...]
the c word 2008-08-30 02:53:11 Most who know me also know that my love for chocolate is more than a little inhuman. In fact, this guy suspects that I might be Aztec in a past life, and he, Mayan, since we both love chocolate with a vengeance. As in, highly potent, concentrated chocolate. In huge dosages. The sort that send [...]
watercolors 2008-08-29 02:14:57 Karma is playing with me. I used to detest this pair of pants and its matching top that my mom bought when I was still in the midst of losing my deciduous teeth. Earlier this year, I wore the top. Then yesterday, I pulled out the pants. Since I’m the In-House Midget, it is obviously [...]
