Gone floral in Palawan

Day 1: City Tour
Alright, I meant to do this blog post last week right after I got back home from my trip, but then I got busy working on some Facebook uploads instead. Anyways, so yes I went on a trip to Palawan for 4 days with my sister and with some friends a couple of days ago. And honestly, this is the most tedious trip I've had...so far; no sleep for 2 days, departed at dawn and arrived back late at night with some not-so-close friends of mine. However Hija still managed to enjoy her trip despite all these. Thanks to my camera that kept me company during the entire trip :)
And since this isn't a travel blog post, I wouldn't be talking much about the places, nor I'll be posting so many pictures of the places I had been to. Instead I'll just be posting photos of me, my outfits and more me. ^^
Okay fine, I'll post some other photos, too.

at a one-stop souvenir shop downtown where you can buy the cheapest pearls in Palawan. Pearls galore indeed.

Outfit Breakdown:

Dress: Hija at work / Sweater: Thrifted / Belt: Gifted / Footwear: Parisian (Flats), Alberto by Terra Aqua (Flats) / Bag: Vintage (from my Granny) / Eyewear: Penshoppe / Necklace: Accessorize, Bubble Shop / Watch: Tomato / Bracelets: Gifted

Day 4:

We spent half of our last day buying some 'pasabulong' downtown, then had lunch at Bilao at Palayok, went back to the resort packed out things and had gone to the airport to catch out flight at 6pm. Two of our friends' flight got delayed so we had to wait for them for 3 dreading hours at the airport. T'was a long tiring trip indeed. But it's all worth it. :)

Malling after church service

Here's yet another quick post from yesterday's random outfit. With my sister after the church Sunday service, hitting the mall to buy some bread.

my sister busy talking on the phone

No, I don't read such pocket books, but my sister does. Hence posing in this spot.

by the way, special thanks to my very yet few avid fans/friends on my Facebook page. Sweetest thanks to all of you, guys! kisses~:)

Outfit Breakdown:

Dress (worn as skirt): Hija @ work / Shirt: Cracker / Belt&Bag: Thrifted / Shoes: Parisian

Shoes face off

This morning, after 8 consecutive rainy days (yes you heard me, 8 consecutive days) the sun shined for me! Finally!^^ So, as feeling deprived of the chance to take pictures outdoor for the past few days, I took advantage of the nice weather and took some of these shots of one of my ~~sea of~~ shoes instead, since my dear friend, Jing, has been asking me to do so. Honestly, I never thought I would be this obsessed (still pondering if this is the right term for me) with shoes 'coz it never occurred to my mind that I would someday be this so fascinated and addicted to shoes. I can't even recall when this all started. But one thing's for sure...I'm pretty glad it all happened, though. My love for shoes, vintage or designer, will be one of the not-to-worry-about addictions a girl like me could possibly have. No, I'm not playing guilty of this at all 'coz mine is still considered tolerable (if i may use this term, Ms Jane of Sea of Shoes) especially if you share such addiction with your closest girl friends in town. :)

Anyway, here are they

Tan studded clogs: Parisian. got them on 50% sale as most of my shoes are.

Obviously I got this concept from this - one of Jane's sea of shoes (left side). Hers have more studs and are camel and mine are tan.

While here are the others, and most shots are taken by my dear friend again, Jing. These ones are vintage and thrifted! Yeah I'm saying that with pride, ladies and gentlemen.^^ But only three pairs of these (sad) are mine: White sandals, blue denim ones and those pointed Tommy Hilfiger purple pumps - all for only...drum roll please..,15$!!! ;)

These were my first ever oxfords shoes. I adore them, they're so vintage and cool at the same time. Even thinking of getting a pair in tri tone or in black one. I've been eyeing these black Aldo oxfords for months now. But don't worry, soon I'll have you, babies. pretty soon :)

Nude wedges: Celine. 30% sale..(photo credit to Jing^^)

Black: Parisian, got them on 50% sale!^^ I've made a post of these two pairs here.

Nude Kitten heel pumps: Mendrez. and oh! Have I told you I got these on sale for only like 4$?? That's almost 80% off of the original price 23$. Seriously!:)Noticed I got most of my shoes on sale or if not on clearance?hehe lucky me.

All right. that's it for now. Just stay tuned for more, Jane ;)

P.S. Here's my nephew in my 'lil brother's happy feet shoes, trying to steal a scene. Haha!

Someone Like You

"I heard that you're settled down that you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true, guess she gave you things I didn't give to you

old friend why are you so shy? ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited but I couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it.
I hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over

*Nevermind I find someone like you I wish nothing but the best for you two
don't forget me I beg I remember you said sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead

you know how the time flies only yesterday was the time of our lives
we were born and raised in a summer haze bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited but I couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it. I hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over, Yet
*chorus*
nothing compares no worries or cares regrets and mistakes they're memories made
who would have known how bittersweet this would taste"
