sweet disposition

so, i have two long weekends and a whole week in between of blogging backlogs.
phew! i never thought blogging could be such hard work.
am not really complaining, and not giving up…
at least not yet, hopefully never!


lemme start with that 4-day long weekend.
we would have wanted to go somewhere, escape and relax…
but we were too late for bookings, so we saved it for the next 3-day weekend instead.
basically we stayed home,
went out a little,
did some errands…
and here’s a little rundown.



{ day 1 - saturday }



~ asymmetrical dress : PROPS
~ clutch / sling bag : PROPS
~ gold cuff : PROPS
~ bandage wedges : aldo



it was the bapstism of warren’s neice that morning at sacred heart church.
i did a little work, had a haircut and a few errands in between the baptism rites 
and the dinner celebration in the eveningat café laguna, oakridge pavilion, a.s. fortuna.

i wore the outfit sans the heels for dinner.
after which, me & warren went to a friend's place for poker,
and that's when the heels came out.

after midnight, we were supposed to meet with some other friends at irie gastropubliko,
as one of them just got back from a few years of studies in the u.s.
but they were not there anymore when we arrived,
so we called it a night and went home.

it was still a hectic day i should say,
running from one place to the next.



{ day 2 – sunday }



~ jersey color block dress : PROPS
~ sandals : little black
~ necklace : china finds
~ assorted bangles : from everywhere



it was definitely one lazy sunday.
much to warren’s urging that we go out for coffee that i gave in.
after a few hours of coffee, i found myself home
lazing in front of the tv, did not do any work at all,not even a little blogging.
i get lazy like that.
only to be interrupted by warren's hunger past midnight with nothing to eat in our fridge,
so we made a trip to the nearest convenience store,
the newly opened seven eleven at caltex a.s. fortuna.



|| mountain dew slurpee : seven eleven

seriously, i don't understand what the rave is about this slurpee…
so shoot me for even giving it a chance.
and warren bought their burger pandesal,
and in warren's words,
it took him about four bites to get to the burger patty part, 
and that's it, nothing more after that.
take note, warren is NOT a picky eater.



{ day 3 - monday }

eid-ul-fitr actually ended the day before but its a philippine national holiday to give respect 
to our muslim brothers and sisters who are celebrating the end of ramadan this day.



~ skirt & top : PROPS
~ necklace & gold flower cuff : pink pvssy {platinum mall, bangkok]
~ leather cuff & oval ring : PROPS
~ sandals : little black




i really wanted to just stay home today,
but i had no escape, as we had to go out to do some groceries
or else we won’t have anything to eat anymore!


|| carnitas burrito : burrito bar {btc} 


after that, we dropped by burrito bar in btc to grab some burritos for dinner.
still the my burrito of choice in the city… 
it's huge, it's filling, it's delicious!!!
...sorry army navy.



{ day 4 – tuesday }

this time, i got my wish!
we just stayed home the whole day.
i did get some much needed rest, thank you very much!

tnt!

the usual





~ top & shorts : PROPS
~ necklace : pink pvssy {bangkok}
~ bangles : assorted from everywhere
~ wedge sandals : catwalk {australia - gift from sis}



|| cappuccino frost : la marea, crossroads


i hate routines 
but it seems that me and warren have one little routine 
before stepping into the office.
we pass by la marea in crossroads for coffee ---- always!

it's where we do our unofficial affairs
that we know we won't be able to do once in the office.
i guess, it's where we find peace before the chaos that is work.
plus! la marea's internet is quite fast, so things get done faster!

the usual la marea favorite is their warm brownie cup,
we order that sometimes but it could get filling especially right before lunch.
so, while warren gets his usual brewed coffee,
i alternate between their cappuccino frost on hot & sunny days {which is more often}
and twinning's four red fruits hot tea on cold & rainy days.

i love coffee, 
that i used to drink three to four cups a day.
used to, because right now, since a couple years ago,
i am limited to a cup in the morning.
any more or any later than that,
i will be up till the sun rises the next day.
insomnia sucks!

anyways, even with a start-of-day routine
i am happy to say that after office activities always has different s**ts on different days.
proof enough that we are still not stuck in a rut!

for this day, it was a movie date for "bourne legacy" as promised,
after i flaked out on warren last sunday when we were supposed to watch it with his friends.
of course, before the movie is dinner… mongolian style!
kublai khan it is…


|| all you can fill bowl : kublai khan, ayala center


i can talk about the movie, but there's not much to say…
not that it was bad, just that it wasn't much to rave about.
it did show the worst of the philippines,
which made me cringe, sorry but that's the truth!
but nevertheless, it still made me proud 
that somehow we were chosen to be a setting for a hollywood film
when they could have done it somewhere else.

tnt!
