Heh.
Because it’s going to take some time before I can get my loafers resoled and because I couldn’t exactly watch Alice in Wonderland and then go drinking afterwards tiptoeing in fear, I got myself a new pair of shoes after work. I had about twenty minutes to pick out a pair so it’s a good thing that I came across Liz’s blog; I already knew what I was getting even before leaving the office. I wish I had more time to look for a terry romper.
I am not quite sure what they are called, though. They are not pointy enough to be winkle pickers nor do they have the wingtip pattern to qualify as brogues; derbies are men’s shoes and they obviously aren’t loafers. The closest they come to are Oxford shoes. Please correct me/please tell me if you know what style these fall under!
They’re made of synthetic leather which kind of puts me off but I can live with that. I got them from tOnic at The Ramp for 995 pesos. It comes in three bright shades of blue, pink, and yellow and I really wanted a pair in blue to match last Friday’s outfit but only yellow came in my size.
Not really a fan of flats because they fail to make me look slimmer but they’re a necessity with all the walking I do!

I made you a mixtape. Perhaps like Carina, I’ll make this a regular thing.
Most of these songs are about cities— New York and Los Angeles, specifically. Some are just songs I like listening to while walking at night and some, songs I love but haven’t listened to in a while. I wanted whimsical yet upbeat and songs that make me feel giddy.
My iPod’s poppy-happy “In the city” playlist:
1. Nolita Fairytale – Vanessa Carlton
2. Free Fallin’ – Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
3. Everywhere – Michelle Branch
4. Hey Jealousy – Gin Blossoms
5. Black and Gold – Katy Perry (Sam Sparro cover)
6. Seasons of Love – Rent OST
7. Downtown – Petula Clark
8. Generation – Emerson Hart
9. First Train Home – Imogen Heap
10. Santa Monica – Savage Garden
11. The Boxer – Simon & Garfunkel
12. London Rain (Nothing Heals Me Like You Do) – Heather Nova
13. Better in Manhattan – Casey Dienel
14. More Than This – 10000 Maniacs
15. When The Stars Go Blue – Ryan Adams
16. Big Yellow Taxi (feat. Vanessa Carlton) – Counting Crows
17. Nowhere and Everywhere – Michelle Lewis
18. The Camper Velourium I: Faint of Hearts – Coheed and Cambria
19. Sunken-Eyed Girl – Mike Doughty
20. Wish I Stayed – Ellie Goulding
21. Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered – Silje Nergaard

Aaaand some photos:
Eh, I meant to draw mouse ears on this photo and call it “country mouse” but I forgot and I’m too lazy to do it now. Anyway, I wanted to wear this today but the dress’s fabric was too hot. I got really sweaty (you’d think I just had a go and worked out on refurbished fitness equipment) just taking photos out in my balcony. So I changed into this:
The pink shirt is really, really thin. I bought it as a beach cover-up but I find it very comfortable for sweltering city weather.

Charcoal soap!
I passed by Saizen (Japanese store where everything is 85 pesos) for the first time last night during my lunch break and bought this. According to The Internets!, these are the benefits of using charcoal soap:
Charcoal soap is believed as it can provide more moisture to the skin as it absorbs purities that sometimes can make the skin speckled. Speckled skin will make the overall performance ugly so that people try many ways to eliminates and avoid it. This soap removes all dead cells over your body and retains newer cells. Moreover, charcoal soap is also good in order to make the skin lighter. When you think that you want to have a lighter skin, this soap can be a safe way to help you promoting lighter skin. Furthermore, you will also have refreshed skin everyday. As a conclusion, this charcoal soap will be able to give you healthy, more moisture and lighter skin.
I just want and am desperate to get rid of my pimples and my regular face wash for acne doesn’t seem to work anymore.
Morning stuff on my table.
I bought the ashtray from Saizen, too; that striped thing on the edges is a kitty!
Today’s outfit. I am finally wearing my pair of jeans from the Levi’s Modern Vintage collection outside the house. Sorry for the cat; I look sleepy and just plain ugly in the photo.

People who know me know that jeans really aren’t my style. I practically live in basic, black leggings because not only are they versatile (at least for me), they’re also very comfortable to wear on unbearably hot days and “fat days” (oh, elastic waistbands, how I love thee lol). I have about 10+ pairs of jeans that take up precious closet space (I like having them around, I don’t know why) but I only ever really wear about two or three pairs.
I can’t remember the last time I bought a new pair of jeans. Another reason why I don’t wear them: unlike leggings and mini skirts, it is SO hard and SO frustrating finding a good pair of jeans in this country. Sometimes, I wonder if the good folks who design women’s jeans have the slightest clue about the female body.
Last night, I attended the Levi’s Modern Vintage Collection launch. Bloggers (I was with Liz and Lauren) and media folks were treated to a short fashion show showcasing the styles (the collection has three styles for women: Slim Patty Anne Fit, Slim Straight Elise, and Slim Boyfriend Fit) followed by a shopping trip so we lucky ducks could pick, fit, and take home our own pair of Modern Vintage jeans!

My friend, Mikey, got married yesterday. For those of you who have been around the internet long enough, you might remember an epic series of blog entries called “The Atrocities of Friendster” that circulated the world wide webz some years ago. Yeah, that’s his doing. Our dear Mikey has come a long way since his days of internet dickery (doesn’t mean he’s any less of a dick now, though). Congratulations, fattie!
My camera doesn’t do well (it actually does HORRIBLY, ugh) in low light conditions so I was only able to snap a few photos at the reception before giving up:
Mikey and his bride, Maffy. His expression is so funny, like a pleading puppy.
Liz, Lauren, Anne, and Noelle. Noelle hosted (along with Bim), the three other ladies battled (loljk) for the bouquet.
Anyway, the event called for formal attire; the men were asked to don barongs and us ladies long gowns. Long. Gowns. The horror. Happily, Mikey allowed knee-length dresses which still sucked for me (as most my dresses fall a few inches above the knees because I look horrid in anything longer than) but whatever. It’s his wedding.
Always the procrastinator, I scoured the nearest mall for my dress a few hours before the wedding. As expected, I missed the church ceremony and ended up meeting my friends at the reception. What I wore!:
I actually wrapped a twisty around each strap as they were too thick and cut in a way that made me look really top heavy. I’m planning on bringing the dress to the neighborhood seamstress and having the straps altered to look like that permanently or I could just buy some black ribbon and do it myself. And Christ, I had no idea it was so freaking hard to find a knee-length dress. These things should be easy, like finding outer banks vacation rentals! Hrhrhrhr.
I also got two new pairs of shoes!
I’m going back for a pair of peep toe studded ankle boots on Sunday.
