desperately wanting

~ extreme mullet top : cotton on

~ dark blue jeans : onyx

~ white vest : SM dept. store

~ sling bag : PROPS

~ wedge peep-toe booties : parisian {SM dept. store}

~ leather cuffs : PROPS

i love this top!

this was one of my mom's pasalubong (travel gift) from her last trip to australia.

she got this at the cotton on store, on sale.

i've worn this top about four times in the past two months,

which proves that i really, really love it.

i wore it twice with shorts, the other time with leggings. 

it's like your most comfortable t-shirt, only more stylish cuz of the mullet.

and these jeans, is one of only two blue jeans that i own.

not that i don't like jeans, just that i get allergies

on contact with denim fabric.

and i'd hate to be scratching the whole time when wearing them.

good thing the fabric of this one don't give me such allergies.

on another note,

i've been waking up each morning since saturday

to a very painful and stiff neck 

which also goes down the muscles of my wing bone.

{called the scapula}

i take pain reliever just to get me through the pain,

but even so, the limited range of motion cuz of the tight muscles

is just so uncomfortable and so annoying.

i really don't know anymore what position is should take when sleeping.

i must have tried all possible relieving positions

only to wake up with the same thing the past few mornings.

i'm really hoping to be waking up tomorrow 

without such pain and discomfort.

let's wait and see.

tnt!

finally, panglao!

this was during the three-day long weekend two weeks ago.

the vacation we badly needed.

the vacation we deserved.

we arrived at our resort, lost horizon in alona beach, panglao, past twelve noon.

and we were lucky at that 

because if we arrived just a minute later at the oceanjet terminal, 

we would have been bumped to the two pm boat

which was supposed to arrive in tagbilaran at four pm.

you see, oceanjet has a new system 

that you have to check-in thirty minutes before your boat schedule

or else your seat will be given to chance passengers.

it's not supposedly new to everyone, because airlines do that.

just that oceanjet just started implementing such system,

and like us, not a lot of people knew about it.

before, as long as you have a ticket, a seat is reserved for you.

that would have been convenient, but i prefer this new system

even if we would have been victims,

because i believe, a new and better system 

will always benefit everyone in the long run.

for one, oceanjet can keep their trips right on schedule.

we had lunch as soon as we arrived,

then walked along the stretch of alona beach

just to check the possibilities of activities for the next two days.

we went back to our room to unpack

and supposedly prepare for a little swim.

"supposedly" because we later found ourselves 

just watching tv for three hours after that.

so shoot us for wasting a perfectly nice afternoon at the beach!

we don't have cable tv at home,

and it's only during trips, at hotel rooms that we get cable tv.

pathetic huh?!

we promised to enjoy the beach outside the next two days.

so it was already dark when we went out again,

just in time for dinner.

i had a delicious plate of lemon-butter shrimps all to myself,

as warren isn't a fan of seafoods,

and two cups of rice!

we actually went bar hopping after that,

with one drink at every bar.

and my drink of choice when at the beach

is always a refreshing caipirina.

oh, and i didn't have just one glass.

let's just say, i had enough to get me tipsy.

tnt!

~ 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!
