A Good Distraction

These past few weeks I learned that being stuck at home (doing papers all day long) won't keep you away from shopping (nyaha and you thought steering clear from malls would help you with that shopping ban eh?) and that retail therapy is always effective when you are down with a mild case of depression.

Being stuck at home with nothing but my papers to talk to (yes, I'm a sad kid like that) and with a lot of things on my mind lately, it's no wonder I'd been so depressed. And since my eyes were practically glued to the computer screen and my butt to my chair for weeks, I had all the time in the world to go online shopping. Behold, my latest acquisitions from the online shopping world (except the shoes, swimsuit and MAC brush set)! Haha! Oooh yeah, the perfect distraction from all my paperwork.
Orange pumps to brighten up a gloomy day, neon yellow leopard print swimwear that (somehow) reminds me of Katy Perry and black satchel all from the place of affordable yet stylish things that is SM Department Store (haha!). Chambray button down from F-STOP, boater hat from Trinkets Royale, turbans from Flatterbuy and 24 pcs. brush set from my good friend Meli. Friday night, my gals and I attended the Deals Dozen launching at Member's Only where I finally met stylish Neil & Jonard Palteng, Joma Bernardo and Ms. Joanna Ladrido. Lovely night though I could've enjoyed it better if I weren't too sleep deprived and tired 'coz of school or if Rachelle and I got a wee bit tipsy from the cocktails that we sipped, but alas mine tasted like Listerine or toothpaste dissolved in water while hers tasted like dirt. Haha! Guess we won't be ordering Manhattan and Sweet Martini next time and just settle for good 'ole Sex on the Beach instead. Haha! =))

That's it for now. 'Til the next post my lovelies!

Geeky and Chunky

Here's me rambling as I tell you all about these photos. I spent yesterday at the mall instead of staying in and doing my papers (what a good student, right?). I figured since I was already so depressed, dressing up (for a good reason) to go to the mall with a friend was a perfect pick me-upper. Chunky heels and nerdy glasses were the common denominators of our outfits. When two (or more) blogger friends meet, cam-whoring's always bound to happen hence our seemingly endless photos. Hmm, lipstick on my teeth, that's gotta be my trademark. My friends are so used to seeing pink/red smudges on my teeth that they don't bother telling me to wipe it off anymore. Also glad that I found a friend in En's little cousin, Ishy. Ended the day by laughing our butts off and chatting some more while munching on gooey chocolate donuts at Rn'B, that homey and quaint cafe near our house. Yesterday was a blast and I couldn't quite contain my giddiness for something that I am supposed to keep mum about. Thank you En for that day! *winks*
