This photo was taken almost a year ago for a local magazine. I forgot all about it until I was looking through my old files yesterday night. Anyway, it was taken by the talented Bj Pascual (hope you don't mind I stole the picture!) Thanks for making me look decent and a bit tall :D

Anyway see the gold studded dress? I got it a year ago on sale for P500 ($10) when it was originally around P5000 ($100) or something??? Best STEAL ever!!

Little Miss Dress Up readers... H and I are going on an adventure in about a week!!!
Can you guys guess where were headed????

Academic Urges

she's the artsy, techy, and creative one.

Since arriving from Taiwan, I've had an inexplicable urge to do research for my dissertation. The night my plane touched Manila, I got home and spent 3 hours on jstor reading relevant academic journals. I've also been digging up old newsweeks for articles on east asian political economy (To no avial. Everything written in the last 5 months is about Obama).

If only these urges came at the right time of the year and not during Summer.

You know, when they actually count for something.

*A special hello to our loyal reader, Ms. Janna Pablo! I love you:D

Gone to Taiwan

I'm back in Manila and my pants are tight.
So much food, so little time.

You guys probably know by the now that I get excited by the littlest things. So when my cousin and I were randomly walking around New York you could imagine how thrilled I was to see The New York Palace right in front of me. It's the hotel which is supposedly home to Chuck Bass and the Van Der Woodsens.

Now I regret NOT going on the Gossip Girl tour!!! Next time....maybe in September?

Park Picnic

So even if we got rained on, I still had the best time at a picnic that we had while I was in New York. And because I have really shallow life goals, I was able to cross out "Picnic in Central Park" from my list. Yay!

Oh and I KNOW my dress is really wrinkly...try living out of a suitcase for almost a month and you'll understand how hard it could get! (And i don't know how to use an iron)

Somewhere in the middle of Little Italy!
One of my favorite shots cause it kinda looks
like it was snapped by a street style photographer! :)

Little White Dress

Wore a white dress to a mini reunion with the girls I spent 4 glorious months in Spain with 6 years ago! Yes, that trip. The trip that started my love affair with the country :D

If you're thinking 'Doesn't she own any other pair of flat shoes?' The answer is no.
And they're not even mine. They're my sister's!
I just smuggled them in my suitcase.

Ps. Little Ms. R, we were looking at our Spain photos and guess who was in one of them? YOU!!! Remember our MovieWorld adventure in Madrid? I was being such a granny and wouldn't go on any of the rides so I took a nap under the shade instead while guarding your belongings. haha
