Hello hello, just a quick update as things have been busy. I’m very ashamed to report that I’ve gone back to my bad habits (drinking/getting drunk, gorging on fatty, oily food, crying over Wedding Jewelry, and then sleeping right after) and haven’t worked out properly since my Cebu trip. I’m heaps disappointed in myself and I’m hoping to get back into the swing of things next week (something I keep telling myself the past ~3 weeks). I’m supposed to be almost done with Insanity but I put it on hold when I realized I haven’t been enjoying it. Boyfriend tells me working out is meant to be hard work and not something you’re supposed to enjoy; I say PSHAW! Insanity Month 1 was hard as heck but I loved every painful minute of it. I think my main issue is that the Max routines are 50+ minutes long and that my workouts usually end at 1130 at night.
(Truthfully, what I need to do is start and end my days earlier. I keep waiting for my body to realize that it’s 25-years old and can afford not getting 8 hours of sleep on weekdays to function normally.)
Oh, and I also had two newborn kittens I tried my best to save but that’s a sad story I’d rather not tell.
Anyway, about a month ago, I placed an order for two pairs of shoes from Lovely Shoes. I was in need of cheapy white boots for my Halloween costume and found what seemed like the perfect pair on their site. Of course, I couldn’t just get one pair. I mean, if I was going to pay and wait to have shoes shipped all the way from Hong Kong, I might as well make it worthwhile, right?

Lingerie/underwear is my favorite kind of clothing but it’s also the second thing I hate shopping for the most (jeans being the first). Like jeans, it is so hard to find the perfect fit; and once you do find that pair that fits you like a glove… sorta, it’s only a matter of washes and wears before it stretches and well, no longer fits and flatters your body.
I am ashamed to admit that in the past, I have willingly sacrificed fit, comfort, and form for aesthetics. It might seem a little silly since they’re undergarments but pretty underwear is a must and wearing a cute pair never fails to make me feel lovely. I’ll buy anything that catches my eye— I love everything lacy or anything with ruffles but I also have a preference for classy floral patterns and playful ones like polka dots and animal prints. I only have one rule when it comes to underwear: no boring whites allowed. It reminds me too much of the very stark and practical training bras and 5-pack panties I used to wear when I was younger!

For Halloween, friends and I all flocked to Cubao X for Meiday Mayhem. Unlike past Meiday parties, I had to go to this one early because I did not want to deal with long lines and bouncers. I also wanted to catch my friends, The Strangeness, play (their set was slated at 8pm but they ended up playing at a later time)!
Can you guess who I went as?
