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

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!

a series of events

Super busy and super tired!  So I'm just going to put all these in one post! heehee sorry! but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!

anyhow

The Formo bazaar was a hit! Great clothes, great accessories, great drinks!(and cheap too! Php 5.00! ftw!) and great people! Met a lot of friends and made new ones who got their Willow and Jack fix! Thanks guys! Hope you all love your purchases! Thank you to Jaja Chiongbian and Meyen Baguio of  Formo!

whew! We were so nervous, it was our first bazaar after all! But good thing it turned out well! (buyag buyag, it's a family thing..we say that a lot haha)

Barely got to take photos of the event, we were quite busy fixing up our stall

I'm just going to put up these photos now, then it's time for bed. Early day tomorrow..erm..i mean later

Willow and Jack girls wearing Willow and Jack of course! me ( navy print kimono dress) and my sister, sam ( mustard cross back tee)

the day before and day after the event

dressing down! had to run errands downtown

Headed off to send packages, lunch then to the hospital. I look angry/sick, and weird, well that's because I was, and I really am weird, I don't deny it. and I think I was thinking of ways to drown out the flu bug I got with medication and fruit juice.

whew! long post! off to bed!

quinze: easy breezy

Contrary to what people say, I do wear sneakers, but not very often ( you can say rarely), I don't even have a pair of my own! ( I borrowed these from my sister, who also doesn't wear em a lot. I think she got these for school or something) But I did today! I have to admit, they're quite comfy, but my feet need to breathe. haha

Willow and Jack maxi, bandeau from PeopearePeople, belt from SM, Converse sneakers (my sisters, thanks te! haha)  Balenciaga Giant City

I was feeling sloppy today so I donned on this Willow and Jack maxi dress. It's currently one of my favorite pieces from the second collection. 

People say the easiest things to wear are jeans and a tshirt, but not for me, I find jeans too hot! My go to things are usually dresses. I think dresses are the easiest things to wear. I mean it's one thing you put on and you're done! and you look nice and pretty with minimal effort.  Plus, it's pretty breezy and really easy to layer! Perfect for summer or for the rainy season. I don't know why some people think it's so hard to wear.  I think girls should wear dresses all the time. haha

Had lunch out at the country club since we didn't feel like cooking today, plus I missed the food. Then the usual running of errands after that. 

Also, I pasted the wayfs on my face on the first picture because surprise surprise, I didnt like my face. And I look freakishly short on the second one! I have issues, I know.


WAIT! I almost forgot!



If you live in Cebu or will be in Cebu this Sunday, that's August 15, do drop by FORMO in Banilad Town Center. Willow and Jack and other retailers will be in Formo's Anniversary Bazaar! We'll be debuting our Second Collection and our new Men's line! Pieces are limited so go early! See you there! 

merci et bisous!

quatorze: back to the drawing board/to meeting new korean friends!

Haven't drawn in a while, been crazy busy with work and other things, but I'm glad I'm drawing again, I've missed it. B,C and G have gone in hiding and I'm not sure if I know where they are. Hopefully they show up soon.

Also, I didn't get to take a picture today, I was crazy busy running around the city (yet again). So instead of a picture, I drew what I wore today as an attempt to redeem myself and my lack of posts haha

BUT what I did get to take a picture of was....

 Meet T, Ram and Jin, Hi guys! 

These three impeccably dressed gentlemen! They were very nice and very sweet when I asked them if I could take their photo. Notice the details on each of their outfits and the shoes! I fell in love with Jin's loafers! 

thanks T, Ram and Jin for letting me take your photo! hope to see you around.

Maybe next time, I'll be taking your photo, watch out!

bisous!

treize: still terribly awkward

see? my face as awkward written all over it

 navy embroidered tunic, denim shorts, sueno de espadrilles in navy, topshop glasses (with prescription of course, these are real, promise!) and Givenchy Nightingale

Had a busy busy day running around the city to finish some errands, most, if not all, planned at the very last minute. Hence the on-the-go ensemble. I really like to dress comfy and pretty laid back, even when I'm working, and I rarely wear heels,even though I'm short. haha don't get me wrong, I do like my heels, it's just that I prefer running around in flats, plus my busted ankle can't take me wearing,all the more running, in heels all day. 

I do like to dress up, but sometimes, I like looking a bit unpolished, I think it adds an interesting element to a look. I find myself looking too uptight if my hair isn't out of place, or if my shirt is tucked the whole way, it's strange, but I just like it that way. 

I've worn these shorts to death, if that wasn't obvious enough. I have several pairs, but these are just my go to ones, especially when I literally have five minutes to get ready! 

Maybe I should try sprucing up a bit, I'm getting a bit bored looking like this all the time haha

also, sending these out soon! I'm excited! I hope you guys like your purchases! :)

wohooo!

I almost forgot, photo courtesy of these two! merci!

have more work to do!

bisous!

douze: ch-ch-ch-check it out!

haven't been posting much, since we've been pretty busy doing last minute things for the launch. But it's finally here!

Visit Willow and Jack!

It's our new clothing line! It's all about easy breezy dressing.

 We realized that the our closets were in need of the basics, but they were really hard to find, and when they do turn up, they're really expensive! Getting frustrated and tired of the situation, we decided to create one of our own!

check it out and get your easy breezy basics here! without breaking the bank! :)

Willow and Jack

hope you get to order some stuff! hurry! we only make a few pieces of each! :)

merci et bisous!

onze: i've got a new pet!

Still looking terribly awkward, and I don't think that's ever gonna change. I barely had time to take this photo, had to run to church and then to my grandparents' house for lunch. 

also..meet stuart! my new pet octopus! one of the things my sister and her boyfriend got me from Japan. I had them look all over for it, and they finally found it! yay! thank you sam and jace!

It's magical! you really should see it to believe it. 

Don't mind my facial expressions and my nails, it's been a while since my last manicure, and don't mind the conversations too.
