I don’t know where my days go. It’s Friday and I’m sitting here, thinking of the week that was, and nothing stands out; nothing sticks to me save for the exhaustion I feel when I wake up every morning at 930am (I’m back to my old ways, being really bad at this waking up early thing). I really do not know what I do with my time and it just feels so unsatisfying, this daily grind.
Oh oh oh: my bedroom mirror broke (the one I’ve had since I was in high school… so it’s at least a decade old) Tuesday morning. Exciting times.
Yesterday, I ate ten milk polvorons in one sitting.

I had a pretty busy long weekend but laziness reared its ugly head in and I didn’t take any (interesting) photos. As usual, Sunday was spent recovering from Saturday drunkies so I was really glad Monday was a holiday because I had a list of things I needed to do.
Monday afternoon, I went wig shopping and hunting for a good calcium supplement hrhrhr. And then I went a little crazy…

There were a lot of things I wasn’t able to do during the five days I was in Cebu but if there’s one thing I regret the most, it’s not hoarding on cheap, wooden and shell accessories when I had the chance to!
On our last day in Cebu, we made time to head to Ayala Center to buy last-minute things. We didn’t know anything about the place so we were happy to chance upon a small cluster of kiosks selling accessories and souvenirs.

Today is a happy day! I’ve been feeling miserable lately, mostly due to the rain (it makes me ronery!) and the fact that I haven’t worked out in over a week (lacking endorphins, yo). Fortunately, the shoes I ordered from Lovely Shoes last week and the La Riche Directions semi-permanent hair dye I bought off ebay ~2 weeks ago both arrived today! I have yet to open the box from Lovely Shoes so I’m not sure if they are worth the $52 I spent, heh (I’m cheap, OKAY).
Meanwhile, I googled La Riche Directions reviews and I’m a bit disappointed to learn that these fade quickly! Two or three washes and they’re gone! This is alarming because I wash my hair everyday so I guess I’ll have to forgo shampoo for a bit. I’ve been meaning to give No Poo a try, anyway (unnecessary, since I use organic shampoo from HHN but I wanna give it a shot. Still waiting for my shampoo for thinning hair for women). Still— talk about buyer’s remorse; I really should learn to google BEFORE purchasing. I should have gone with Manic Panic (roughly around the same price range) or Special Effects.
Oh well, charge it to experience.
Today’s outfit:
Thrifted crop top I’ve had for FOREVER but never got around to wearing ’til today (the buttons are heart-shaped <3), black lace skirt from ebay, boots from ebay. I have a love-hate thing for this cropped top: I like that it looks like something my grandmother would wear but I hate that the collar won’t sit still. I got it for fifty pesos so I’m not really complaining.
Meanwhile, I am starting to dislike these boots.
Two more photos.

The folks over at Magic Baul are having their first store giveaway and because I love clothes and free stuff (I love em like I love acne treatments that work), I’m joining! Up for grabs is a PHP500 gift card from Magic Baul which you can spend on any available items in the Magic Baul store. They’ll even shoulder the shipping cost!
I actually can’t decide whether or not to try my luck at winning the gift card or to just go ahead and purchase this Trompe l’oeil dress.
It’s an L/XL which is making me think twice about it. I’m also eying this Philippe Charriol bag.
Anyway, for awesome thrifted clothes, visit Magic Baul!
