Goodbye, Honeybear. I shall miss you.

Rest in Peace, Sekki.

my week so far

random post...been quite busy lately

painting class with the kids ...and the adults too haha

playing around while visiting my lolo

have to rush, au revoir!

bisous!

Yoghurt run! also known as I love 'u' mommy

Went out for late night yoghurt after a day of karaoke. That's basically it. Haha

also, my Lola (that's grandmother in cebuano) gave me another shirt of my Lolo's ( that's grandfather) again. Quite timely since I needed to change after rolling around on the grass. My Lolo had this tank top for years, I'm glad they never threw it away, it's now a great addition to my closet.

Grandpa's North Shore tank top, Bill Blass cutoffs, Prada Bag

teaching the kids how to paint tomorrow, I'm quite excited!

bisous!

Manila Manila!

As I previously mentioned, I had to go to Manila for  a couple of days to join a charity bazaar and to do some business.  And it would be tragic not to visit some of my favorite people in the world. I wish I had more time though, I didn't get to see everyone and spend hardly any time with the ones I did. Well, till October! My fingers are crossed!

first day dinner with Rhein, Pau and Cel at Mr. Jones! 

Chambray Shirt, Maxi skirt, Tophsop sandals, Prada bag ( I look weird)

hello my darlings

Super high platforms, mary jane straps and black suede. hello my babies, welcome home.

Actually, this pair is just one of the two I got as gifts from R! (thank you!!!) I'll post the other pair later.  I am in love with these, quite steep, but my feet shall have to conform. 

I've been looking for these Miu Miu esque platforms ever since they got out, luckily, F21 came out with a much cheaper alternative. 

Apologies for the lack of posts ( who am I kidding, who reads this? haha) I'm actually in Manila for a charity bazaar, and to meet with some people for possible projects. Been very busy, but I shall post more pictures soon! I just could'nt help posting these, I got so excited heeheee

bisous!

Walk like a man, talk like a man

That song always reminds me of Robert Downy Jr. in the movie Heart and Souls. I loved that movie as a kid, I really don't know why, I just did. haha

anyhooo 

I wore my Grandpa's chambray shirt to lunch today. I just got it from my Grandma the other week. She thought it would be nice for us grandkids to have something from our grandpa and we got to pick a few things. It still smells like their closet and it's one of my favorite pieces. 

Grandpa's slightly acid washed chambray shirt, cotton on bandage skirt, tan leather brogues from F21, Prada bag

and since I was feeling all ...erm...manly in my shirt...I thought to pair it with the latest pair of brogues I got! Well, Rhein got 'em for me. It's quite beautiful, the leather and the detailing are simply wonderful. I'm almost afraid to wear 'em, I don't want to crease the leather and all. 

aren't they beautiful! 

and if you still don't know what I'm talking about in Heart and Souls, here's a clip of the song from the movie

p.s I have a few surprises coming up! Will tell you about it soon!

and I almost forgot! It's finally september! Birthday month and more surprises! I can't wait!
bonjour septembre, vous êtes finalement ici!


bisous!

Sunday marks the third day

Sunday marked the third day from my grandpa's funeral,and we all paid him a visit in the cemetery. It's been about ten days since he passed and we miss him terribly. We're a bit sad about his passing away, but we all know he's in a better place now. We love you Daddyshing, have fun up there!

it feels weird trying to get back to the normality of things, and it feels weirder posting normal things. I haven't posted in so long, I feel like some dorky newbie..well, I technically am anyway haha

WillowandJack pocket tank, thrifted men's trousers, grey oxford wedges from HK, Topshop leopard belt, Prada sling

apologies for going M.I.A (Ha! as if anyone reads this haha I still get surprised when I hear someone say that they do, then I get all shy and weird, or weirder than normal)

Many things have happened and we've been crazy busy the pass few weeks, with family gatherings and arrangements being made and all. We had my grandpa's funeral and my cousin's wedding to boot. It sounds strange, I know, but the wedding was planned a long long time ago, and we all thought that my grandpa would get to attend, but God's, and my grandpa's plans were different. :( But it's okay, I think it was my grandpa's way of telling us that we should have fun on my cousin's wedding night, and that all of us should get to go. But he was there with us though, I know he was.

I barely had time to catch up on current events like the Hostage taking,  and much much more. But I know it was a down time for everyone, and people shouldn't judge the whole race from one person's mistake. Now that schedules are getting freer, I finally have the time to check it out properly. (a bit late, but better that than never, right?)

also

I barely had time (my phrase of the day, it seems) to box or eat right. It's hard when everyone brings different kinds of empanadas every night, and you just HAVE to try them all, and it's even harder to drink water when all we serve are coke and iced tea!  So you might notice that I'm a bit...erm..chunkier than usual ( I really am normally chunky, but this has got to be on a different level) but we're trying to get back to our normal regimens, I start exercising and being vegetarian again tomorrow. (and that's a promise! ...I hope)



off to bed, I bet boxing tomorrow is gonna hurt!

bisous!
