For my friends: ito ang dahilan kung bakit hindi ako nakasama sa Matabungkay…
Hindi dahil sa aso! Ungas! Nasa Baguio ako…
…and since I’m already familiar with the sites here, I decided to dedicate my short weekend trip to window shop instead.
I was curious why Baguio is popular for its Ukay Ukay stores so I patiently checked for some good finds. I was actually surprised that a lot of things are authentic Prada, Burberry, Gucci etc. – though most of them are old and already used. :S
Just a warning for some Ukay shoppers; don’t be faked with some displayed high-priced items. I noticed that some designer bags are sold for 3k and above but after “scrutinizing” them, they’re just imitations.
It’s fun though. I think I consumed 3 hours roaming around the Ukay stores and I ended up buying 1 item for 100 pesos; which unfortunately, looked like an apron when I fitted it in the hotel. Haha! Wretched.
I just realized that I’m a fan of vintage pin up girl trend after watching Lolita. I really find old school fashion colorful and flashy. Connecting to this, Shoulder Pads already made a comeback this year.
Shoulder pads remind me of 80’s movies and tv programs. Particularly some lady from McGayver or the Leading Ladies of local slapstick comedians and action stars…
Though with this fashion statement, I think I’ll pass. It’s not my type. Haha! Coincidentally, I can relate this with a video that’s currently making me laugh even if I watch it all over again. I know the vid’s already everywhere, but here it is anyway…
“The gayest man on earth would call this over the top…” Wahaha! Na-LSS na ko. :S
Kapag nagrereklamo o nagsasampa ng kaso ang mga celebrity tungkol sa pang-aabuso o pang-mamanyak, uso yata ang naka Artista Shades.
I was wondering, why not try Scarf? Headband? o Baseball Cap para maiba naman?
Or maybe they just learned something when Kris Aquino appeared in public without make-up or shades with the Joey Marquez incident, she looked so ordinary…
Promise, magsshades din ako ‘pag nagsampa ako ng kaso, kahit robbery… Wahaha!
Hindi ko naisipan mag-kumento sa Hayden Kho-Katrina scandal. Uber gasgas na kasi, at marami na ring tao ang nagrereklamo na sana ay kahirapan nalang ng bansa ang inaatupag ng mga politiko imbes na mga sex scandals. Riiight?
So without any leaders’ help? What can we do? Maaaring pamilyar na sayo ang site ng Ako Mismo. Syempre na intriga naman ako, kaya naki-usi at naki-uso narin ako.
Isa itong anti-apathy campaign which reminds everyone that progress should start with ourselves and blah blah… Surprisingly, hindi parin pala mawawala ang comedy sa kampanyang ito. Pasensya na, pero as of now ay wala akong maisip na magagawa para mabawasan ang kaguluhan sa bansa kundi…
I just found your site this week and let me tell you, I love it already! Your advise about everything is super helpful and fashion forward that I can’t stop reading all of the articles.
I was hoping you could help me with my problem. I really need a wardrobe change so I’m planning on shopping soon before school starts. Can you give some places and shops that are unique and fashionable? I am so sick of buying clothes in the mall because several people might be buying the same thing as I am. I hope you can give me some stores around here in Metro Manila.
Thank you so much in advance and more power to your blog!

Dear Lei,
If it’s a school wardrobe you’re concerned with, I assume you have already browsed this entry about must have school attire closet. This can also help.
It’s quite vague, of course, I’m not sure what’s your fashion style and shopping budget. So for the benefit of all, I’ll be suggesting some places you might want to check out depending on your taste; not the ordinary department store or every teen’s boutique like bench and kamiseta…
I was in awe while watching the season finale of Gossip Girl, my (so far) favorite series ever. And for other fans, don’t you just love C and B back together? A boyfriend going to Paris just to buy your much-loved macaroons is such a fairy tale. Well aside from my chick flick feeling towards the episode, I can’t help but adore Blair’s Headbands since mean girls of Constance are about to say goodbye to headwraps because the new Queen Bee, Little J, says so.
Jargon ba? Haha.
Anyway, I did a little research about these accessories and they were all from jenniferbehr. Well nothing much, just sharing. I hope to find an-almost-like one somewhere instead of those ribbon headbands. Misyado na kasing pakalat kalat, parang shutter shades lang…
I noticed on my blog tracker that a lot of people have been searching about Wensha Spa. Many of us really need to pamper ourselves after a stressful week of workloads and urban stress. I’ve been suggesting this wensha place with my previous letters since I heard it’s an affordable place of relaxation but I’ve never gone there until this weekend.
I tried the Foot Spa Terrific service for only 600php (including unlimited food and pool access). The word “Terrific” itself was kind of catchy kaya ayun, nabola ako. Lol. When I was already at seat for the service, I told the attendant “Foot Spa Terrific po” and she answered back, “meron ba kami nun?”
Haha! Minus 10 points. Well to be honest, I was not satisfied with their Foot Scrub service, I should have tried the massage instead. Nakakatulog pa yung naka-assign mag scrub sakin. Geez. Maganda lang is that you get to watch tv while they do the service and 1 tv is to 1 customer.
May pagka-konserbatibo ako at ayaw ko i-expose ang aking skeleton in public so I really can’t get naked in spas. Kaya na culture shock ako that everyone in the pool was naked and staring at me kasi ako lang yung naka bath robe. Wahaha! I didn’t stay long because I also can’t stand seeing lesbo couples kissing and all. Ack! Help me Lord!
The only thing worth staying is the food-slash-tambay session with friends. The food is unlimited buffet though rice meals are out by 12midnight. The food is not so sarap but tastes fine. We just consumed the time left eating shabu-shabu in the dining area.
Taking pictures is not allowed inside so I can’t show a tour. So for some people who are planning to go there, I just recommend 1) Midnight time para hindi crowded since they run 24 hours. 2) Go here with friends and 3) Foot Spa Terrific isn’t terrific after all.
Lumaki akong marunong mag commute at lumulusong sa baha kaya parang trip ko yata mag-bota sa darating na rainy season…
…but of course, with style.
I was delighted when I first saw the latest C2 commercial where two girls are playing in the rain while wearing pairs of lovely Pambaha Boots. I haven’t gone to the mall lately so I have no idea if stores are already selling this kind for the rainy months.
Now I want! Yun nga lang, it’s not so everywhere so people might be staring at my feet when I wear them, I assume.
Kate Spade? Emilio Pucci? Medyo mahal. So unfortunately, all I have is a pair of Advan…
…Dito ngayon papasok ang problema. Super naloloka ako sa boss ko na mga 4 years lang ang tanda sakin. Lahat yata ng nasa wardrobe ko, literal na nagaya na niya! As in halimbawa na pumasok ako nung Monday, naka suot ng pucci print na dress, tapos pag dating mg friday, siya din, naka pucci print na dress in almost the same color!!!
…Nahihirapan ako tanggapin na may copy cat ako dahil hindi naman ako fan ng kasabihan na: Immitation is the greatest form of flattery — and I guess that’s got allot to do with the fact that she really couldn’t pull off most of the things that she copied from me.
…Thanks a lot Miss Leyn.=( I would really appreciate it kung mabibigyan mo ako ng kahit na anong suggestion.=)

Dear littlemissagitated,
You know what, hindi ko palalagpasin na sagutan ito because we share the same sentiments. I already had an experience like this but of course I won’t mention details anymore ‘coz from what I heard, my copycats are also my readers. Haha…
Akshuli, I had no plans of updating my blog today. I was focusing on other things like some personal stuff, projects and facebook-ing. And while facebook-ing, then again, I was disturbed by one of those senseless Tagalog Quizzes displaying on my inbox…
Wahaha! Isa na to sa mga pinaka-harsh na nakita ko. Gumamit pa ng mga litrato ng mga walang kamuwang muwang na nilalang… parang ako lang. Haha!
Kaya ayun, I tried this also… and got the same result. Lol.
