saying goodbye to july is specifically moving forward 

from a week that was full of unexpected incidents.

if you've noticed, i wasn't able to blog nor take outfit photos last week

because of so many circumstances that practically hindered me on my daily grind!

clients showing up at the office unannounced

errands that took longer that expected

AC problems at the office

going to the mall unplanned to buy new AC

--- these are just but a few incidents that seem to have side-tracked my week's sched

most of all, it was warren's hospital admission & emergency surgery due to hernia

at the end of last week that really shook me.

everything happened so fast!

we went for a check-up, asked to go to the ER for hernia reduction

then three hours after he was scheduled for surgery in the next two hours.

it had to be right away, so as to prevent further complications.

it was just a minor surgery though, as he was discharged the next day

… which is a good thing!

anyways, this is what i wore last monday.

wanting to feel good especially after the whirlwind of last week, 

i thought of wearing my favorite necklace

which i got from bangkok a few years back.

it just so happen that i have a blazer with somehow the same colors as my necklace

which is just lovely!

and these shoes, i fell in love with at first sight… 

and i got them at a very affordable price!!!

i know i said i am gonna blog about other things

which i should do

just that i should first get a hang of taking photos of my food

or other stuff that i do.

i seem to always forget while in the moment,

and only remember when am already blogging.

geez!

this may really take some getting used to…

let's wait and see…

tnt!

gust of wind

~ mullet dress : supre {gift from my mom}

~ necklace : pink pvssy

~ cuff : chatuchak market find {bangkok}

~ leather flower ring : platinum mall {bangkok}

~ leaf silver ring : rustan's

~ peep-toe pumps : miss me from urbanog

the dress am wearing are one of the "pasalubong" from my mom…

i have been so excited to wear it since i got a hold of it last monday!

but then, cough & fever got the best of me

that i submitted to three days of bed rest :(

then today seemed a perfect day to wear the breezy dress

as it was bright & sunny when i woke up…

much to my surprise that when we got out of the house, 

until we shot these photos, it became windy & cloudy!

the gusts of wind may have added drama to the shoot,

but the rain that came right after

stood in the way of some of the errands me & warren had to run to.

i should have worn some booties & blazer today due to weather conditions,

but i love this dress so much that i couldn't care less!

tnt!

happy birthday wesley

~ top & shorts : PROPS

~ bag :  PROPS

~ shoes : aldo

~ bangles : bangkok finds

i would have wanted the photos brighter, better and more detailed…

forgive me & warren,

it was past six pm and we were running late for a friend's birthday dinner,

hence the hurried and somehow blurry shots…

it's one of our friend wesley's birthday… 

another saturday dinner at tajimaya!

you might think we're there every weekend, no!

this one was the celebrant's choice.

after dinner we crossed over to maya mexican restaurant,

which was practically beside tajimaya.

the margarita was great! we still wanted to drink, 

but one round of drink was enough cuz their AC must have needed some cleaning,

we were practically melting in there!

so we transferred to distillery…

which makes it a repeat of last saturday.

but it doesn't matter… we had fun!

we're all missing the "penthouse days" where no weekend was spent sober.

ah! those were the days…

not that it could not happen again,

and am sure, we'll still rock it if it does!

|| happy birthday wesley!!!

i wish i have more photos of the dinner + drinks… 

but i left my camera in the car and it rained so we couldn't get it later on.

well, next time.


tnt!

like the first time

~ blazer, lace shorts : PROPS

~ tank top : mango

~ 2 sets long layered necklace : DIY {materials bought from cebu hardware}

~ bangles : bangkok finds {chatuchak, pink pvssy}

~ shoes : primadonna

i wanted this, so i had to do it… outfit shots i mean :)

they say there's always a first time for everything… 

not to preempt that am gonna ask that you indulge me in however awkward this shot seem.

i wear whatever suits my fancy to the office since we have NO DRESS CODE… sweet!!!

{plus, i know the owner **wink**} 

even if i can get away wearing PJs & flipflops, 

i still wear my heels even if there's only about 8 other people who can see me!

only to indulge myself playing dress-up and to take that chance, 

that maybe, just maybe, me & hubby are goin' somewhere else after work.

not that we don't have a social life, just that work sometimes gets a bit tiring 

that all we wanna do after is go home [we love home]

and on that note, we got off work around 9pm!!!

with me sooooo hungry, starving even…

but warren [my husband] seem to always have some last minute thing to do 

that takes around 20 to 30mins, even more and he zones out while he's into it 

& it leaves dinner no other choice but to wait. 

am not saying he's not doing anything important, 

and not that waiting is that tedious cuz i take that time to do my own s**t…

there's this new "ribs" place just 2 blocks away from the office.

every time we pass by around dinner time, it's packed! which got us curious.

and tonight, we were in luck [at least we thought so] cuz the place only had 2 tables filled.

and just our luck, their specialty "ribs" ran out!!! 

{really?! their specialty?!}

i could have been a total b**c* about it 

but thank god my exhaustion from the day's work triumphed over me…  

and as hungry as we were, we couldn't think of any other place to eat.

warren ordered their chili wings while i ordered their bucket of chili crab claws.

[and i just have to say, i don't get to eat as much seafoods as i want at home cuz warren don't eat seafoods!]

 ***before***

 ***after***


|| chili crab claws : surfin' ribs

took me thirty minutes to finish my crab claws, and they were yummy!

that should make me lucky again, i guess.

maybe the next time we come back, am trying the whole crabs, and not their specialty "ribs".

we'll see. and i'll let you know.

ciao!
