frittered

who can pass up on a colander full of turon? what an ideal merienda on a rainy day! scrummy crisp lumpia wraps the banana with crusty goodness. bits of caramelized sugar will let you howl for some more. brings back childhood memories of after school break, after rounds of sekyo and 10-20 and your once youthful powdered face, and neck after siesta.

home prepped or street bought..doesn't matter. as long as it transports you to that 'bear brand' era of a feel or plainly satisfy your crumbling tummy.♥

let there be sun, please. i hope everyone is a-ok now that ondoy's left the island. two more tropical storms to hit this week. hope for the best.

stormy weekend

image taken from photobucket. it's called bokeh? i'm an amateur. according to the description bokeh is a cross between blurred lights and out of focus areas.what a cool effect. been raining nonstop here. nowhere to go so i decided to try on looklet.com, as seen on chuvaness.

i am hooked-balahap.

try it HERE!

got an imeldific rush over this window brought home by my brother last night. he got this from an old coffee shop in lipa, batangas.ooohh i wish he can get some more.
i love pasalubongs, love capiz pieces. i simply can't resist anything and everything filipiniana. thing is, i like looking at antiques, but scared to death to actually own one, even if it's just a repro. i get goosebumps-ever since i saw the trailer of that gretchen movie wherein she got this beautiful, striking but haunted bed. regal shockers and shake, rattle and roll come into mind. hmm,enough of those spine-chilling movies, i don't wanna get rid of this old window, it's too lovely to give up.

this maxi dress is a good semptember ender. hello jackets, sweats and trench!

wanna go to vigan again and walk its cobbled streets..now with pizzazz, hah. intramuros will do for now,or maybe kanluran?:) . want dirty ice cream too!

resurrecting my peacock-inspired earrings. blue and green tinted glass= i want. i'm forever attracted to blue.

i'm hungry now.

peep toe perfection: shoes, gift from my sister

it's a constant show and tell, having a blog. you might not notice it at first but day by day by day it becomes a force of habit. you can't wait to show everyone where you've been, beautiful things you've seen, cheery happenstance and so on. you're fitting a flimsy chiffon top and the first thing that comes to your head is this: type type type 'i am speechless, the detailing is just plain amazing' type type type instead of asking the store if they still have it on your size. everyone is in your so-called world, they just don't realize it. you are in a restaurant with your family and before they touch the food, you grab your camera and take that perfect shot while your poor folks are salivating. but they let you be. they know the drill already. they smile when you call it, well, at times they do. your sister buys you stuff because she read once in your blog that you want this and that. you comment on other blogs and they comment back, you say hello and they say hi. your brother brings you home cake that you have not tried yet, in the hopes that you will like it and yes-feature it on your blog.

it's a constant show and tell, and you yourself is in it. you relish every page visits. you think of happy thoughts and eat chocolates daily so can write all the happy things so people will think you are happy. you want to have the style instincts of rachel zoe and the looks of penelope cruz when you wake up one day, and you end up waking up pissed every single day.you may not write like zafra does, but still, you love your imaginary twisted little world.

you are harold and you hold the purple crayon.

p.s. you want claudia schiffer's height too.

beta late than neva.
belated happy birthday momma!


so sorry for the late post.
september five and eight

from zoe and sage's lola anding, shukran!

sinful chocolate cake from a la creme in pampanga. who can ever resist??!!! a slice can satisfy your sucre craving for a MONTH! if it isn't sweet enough, each box comes with a gravy-like container that has, yes-choco syrup that you can drizzle on top, man..now that's what i call choco-freeze!

my new cake stand that i was blabbing about eons back.

early dinner at friday's


jaypee stole my look, so gaya gaya haha. poor jada, no one took a photo of me. can totally understand ely. mental note: buy a portable spider-like tripod like his.oohh wait, i'll search for 'me'.

there. taken a month ago.same place,haha. i am the lamest of them all. capital self-centered:) (ate:i miss your dress!!!)

at least mom agreed to be photographed. she's one of those people who throws a hollywoodish snare when a paparazzo snaps but at the end of the day whines that they don't have a single picture or glances while you're downloading and whips 'wag yan pangit ako dyan' ahhh, moms.

i'm sooo glad my birthday didn't fall on a september. heavy rains, heavy rains.
it's midnight now. sleepy and scared, the silence is plain eerie and creepy.

toodles everyone and have a happy sunday. or take it from juno, spritz on clinique happy if you're feeling low.

stella got her groove back

normalcy will resume in 5,4,3,2...right after i've installed every nitty bitty. love the smell of new. i feel like SJP right now, really really.
i wonder, meanwhile
ah, if only i have manhattan outside my window and seventh avenue's a cab away.
watching season three of gossip girl right this minute..xox but i guess it's my last youtube-ing of GG since etc's canned the new season, yippee! tuesdays will never ever be the same again.gotta do something worthwhile, just warming up, see if i can still type, hah. toodles.

farewell to season 2 with gg bloopers
