Life lately…
Life lately has revolved around rolls of fabric and clients, which I am very happy to be surrounded by; little sisters and promenades; little cousins getting into the college of her choice; family’s and diseases and getting wasted on light beer on Sunday nights.
Life is really happening and it makes me realize that it really is my time to make a mark on this world and become my own person.
I hope I turn out to be someone I can be proud of..
At the same tine, I wish time would just go a little bit slower. 😪
Nuts, Bolts, Screws, Locks, Lights
Quick shoot without any regard of my background, whatsoever. But I do appreciate how these small pieces add a little bit of texture to my background.
Thought I’d show everyone what I’m wearing to the office today since it’s simple, cute and fuss free. Perfect for anyone who’s looking for something quick and chic to wear with very little time to spare. That’s how I’ve been dressing lately.
Not to mention, I always make sure that my garments are light weight since the summer heat has already started to kick in.
I highly doubt that rompers will ever go out of style but just in case they do, I’m opting for solid, basic colors so I can easily revive them in my wardrobe when they are long gone from the fashion scene.
Also, choosing to mix navy blue and gold wasn’t a shabby choice either. It’s the perfect mixture of youthfulness, sophistication and professionalism- just the right mix of what I need today.
I’m definitely ready for an afternoon full of meetings and client visits. So… fun…
Hope your day is as productive as mine!

That’s the problem with not having a wall clock on my office walls or a clock that doesn’t tell accurate time on my desktop… you’ll never know when to stop working.
Whatever. lol
Hoping to start this week right and get everything together. I feel like I need to remind people that I actually have the power to fire them… just so they won’t step on little ol me anymore. 😦
Best Valentines Ever!
I don’t know about any of you but I just had the best poop after 3 days so my valentines is pretty much set.
Happy Valentines to all you hopeless romantic, head in the sky, go big or go home love birds out there. I hope you all wither and die along with your over priced bouquet of flowers….. Just kidding. I’m not bitter. I actually do have a love life.
You’ll Go Far
Honesty brings you a long way and surprisingly, people will understand when you tell them you had to find yourself which explains a period of absence in your life.
The best part is that when you decide to come back, they’re still there waiting for you and cheering you on which just makes all of this just so awesome.
Parts of me are still sad, parts of me still want to do other things (which in my opinion, will never ever go away) but at least now, I’m more enthusiastic about the things that I want to improve and I am more determined to get.more.done.
Looking forward to tomorrow. And the weekend. Definitely the weekend 🙂

Everytime
When people tell me I gained weight but I look better than I used to…
“but I’m not skinny anymore? :|”
No. 9
Somewhere along the quiet roads of Benedicto Street, sits a beautiful ancestral home-turned-restaurant with amazing food and a warm, cozy environment, as well.
No. 9, with it’s wooden fixtures and interesting interior (my favorite being the huge painting behind a comfortable couch) had me wide eyed and giddy the moment I went in.
It’s the kind of place you’d want to go to with a loved one and whisper secrets in each others ear because of its intimate feel and sophistication. But if you’re looking for a new place to have dinner and perhaps a couple of drinks after, No. 9 also has a beautiful garden for that, too!
I’ll be honest, the food can be a little bit pricey but it’s a small price to pay for a wonderful experience. With dishes ranging from P 280.00- P 450.00, No. 9’s menu is well worth the price.
During our lunch at No. 9, my mom and I ordered the Pork Belly and Fideo Negro while my siblings just took bits and pieces since they had already eaten. It was my first time to sample black pasta, not being a fan of squid ink and all, but as soon as I took a bite of it, I had quickly changed perspectives. As not to be biased, I asked my sister and my mom what they thought about it and they both agreed that it was the best one they had had yet.
The pork belly was equally as scrumptious with pieces of arugula and salsa to direct it in a classier direction leaving me feeling stuffed and happy.
No. 9 is somewhere I would want to go to for a fancy night out with a boyfriend or friends- especially if I wanted to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city that can oftentimes be irritating.
The food was great, the ambiance superb and the service was so warm and welcoming that we had to resist from over staying.

My Sincerest Apologies
I deleted a previous entry due to the use of profanities.
I dropped the F bomb and I sincerely apologies for such behavior- it will not happen again.
I don’t like mushy, I’m so in love with you Issa- it just doesn’t feel right.
It doesn’t make me feel strong.
So if you read that article where I was caught using the word FOREVER- I have retracted my statement!
Let’s all go back to our lives now. Thanks!
Backtrack, retract, compose yourself
We are strong, independent, self sufficient, I-can-afford-help-so-i-don’t-need-to-learn-how-to-cook kind of women.
Say it, remember it, breathe it and carry it around like it’s a designer handbag that you could afford but wouldn’t usually spend on. Always remember that and hustle.
And try to keep in mind (no matter how hard the struggle is) that every love is different but IF it’s the love you feel is meant for you, then it’s the kind of love that you should never let go of.
char lang. butatek. and that is why you keep a private blog. LOL
