It's December and I can feel the Christmas breeze! Time to whip out the blazers yey! I've always loved the blazer + shorts look but
I get really cold easily. Times like these I wish I wasn't such a "ginawin" person. Is it just me or is it colder this year than the last no?

this is my school shoes that I also wear elsewhere because it's so cute! it is patent and has GIANT ribbons and crystals.

Hallooooooooo!! What are you guys up to lately? I just finished watching Ninja Assassin with my medschool friends Dharn and Maneesh. Awesome movie. For someone who has seen lots of gory stuff in the ER, I still find it a tad gruesome for my taste. Actually thought it was a Quentin Tarantino movie because of all the blood. But all in all, I liked the movie a lot. LOL we were so noisy in the movie house because my friend, Dharn is SUPER SUPER in love with Rain! We kept on commenting about how great Rain's body was everytime Rain's topless and that is like 80% of the movie.

I hope they incorporated a dance number somewhere in the storyline haha.=P
WATCH and DROOL.

Best comment of the night:
"Ano ba yan andilim dilim naman ng palabas na to!" "Syempre ninja nga e!"

Happy Manny Pacquiao Sunday!

Today is a happy day for us Filipinos. Manny Pacquiao made us proud again! Woot woot! I told you he's gonna box the hell out of Cotto, whom I kinda have a little crush on, BTW..=) He's kinda cute no? Watched the fight live at the cinemas then camwhored afterwards.=) The sister and I decided it's the perfect time to wear our "WHERE I'M FROM, EVERYONE'S A HERO SHIRT" I ordered a month ago.

LSS song for today: "PILIPINO, PILIPINO, PILIPINO ANG LAHI KO!!" Manny's song was played non-stop near the ticket booths.

My normally dry hair decided to be extra dry today. Uugghhhhh.
Plus it was unusually windy today. weird.

Same shirt but the sister and I did a different styling on the shirt. Being the nonT-shirt girl that I am, I paired it with my old super puffed jacket to glam it up a little. Sister wore it over a floral dress paired with her cute Cobra Starship bag.=) Floral dress from a bazaar; Shoes from YRYS; Bag from Hot Topic;my sunglasses

My favorite Manny Pacquiao video. Listen carefully at 0:12. Clito-what?!??!? hahahaha

Check out What's in my bag JINKEE PACQUIAO version. I like that she opted for a Kelly instead of the easy choice Birkin. So happy for her that she's living the life. Some people are giving her flak for having nice things. But seriously if you have millions of DOLLARS (not pesos) wouldn't you buy these things too? She deserves it imagine having mini-heart attacks because your husband's life is always in danger every single fight. Plus, she stuck with Pacquiao even in his poor days..

Heck if I were Jinkee, I would wear Balmain to get groceries, Chanel haute couture to hear mass, Christian Lacroix to watch movies, Missoni caftans as "duster"/house clothes and hire Kate Lanphear and Liz Uy as my stylists.

She has 200,000 pesos ($4,000) cash inside her bag, antaray diba?! Since you moved up to Hermes, please give me na lang your old Chanel bags!!=P

La Scala + Royce

Outfit first before my other blabbers.=P I like the odd silhouette of this dress, it's loose but is cinched on the leg area.
Actually reminds me of a garbage bag, a matte garbage bag. A chicer version, of course!

Birthday dinner with the boy last Saturday. I bet you are so sick of reading the word Birthday in my blog, no? I will be abusing the word throughout the whole month of November haha! Went to Greenbelt to look for my present from BF, I wanted this certain bib necklace but when we went to Firma they only got one and it's not what I wanted so I'll probably order it instead of buying it from the store. So we only looked around, since I don't really frequent this mall as much as I want to.

It's funny how my style has rubbed off on the boy. While looking at a wall full of men's sneakers, we reached out for the same blue sneakers. He turned to me and said, "OMG, I'm gay!" hahaha. Usually, we don't really agree on his sneaker and basketball shoe choices. He's all for simple and classic designs and I'm all for "statement! statement!".

Went to dinner at La Scala in Malate. I like this restaurant a lot because there are lots of eyecandy. The resto is owned by an avid collector of vintage everything. From old Coca-Cola memorabilias, old newspaper clippings, old records, old Starwars toys and other interesting stuff. Too bad there were no vintage Transformers, the boyfriend will surely go crazy if there were! Some random pics inside: Was about to take more (picture taking is allowed here) but this foreigner got paranoid and approached us, demanding us to delete her picture?!?! And we didn't even point at her direction! uuuggghhh so I ended up with only a few.

This is an interesting picture. I spy Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, C3Po, James Dean, Charlie Chaplin, Batman, Frankenstein, Roger Rabbit, Julia Robert's and Richard Gere's characters in Pretty Woman and ET. I swear I kinda am familiar with the others but I don't know their names. Care to identify more?

Fun night, since the place isn't packed we got to stay longer and reminisced about highschool memories! I realized we have been friends since the time Nokia 5110 was considered THE COOLEST cellphone LOL!

We didn't plan to match. It was purely coincidence. I bought him this Topman shirt a year ago. He doesn't like it that much because it is V-neck and looks blouse-y but he still wears it because it's from me.

Forget the main course, what I want to show you is my dessert!! Bought this at the Royce kiosk in Greenbelt and was resisting the urge to open it before dinner. Nyum nyum nyum I was munching this yummy chocolate potatochips in BF's car. Uuugghhh why did I post this pics now I'm suddenly craving for it in the middle of the night.

YOU MUST TRY THIS. Seriously.

It is coated with chocolate on only one side. The salty + sweet combination is yummy!
Nama White Chocolate is my next buy. I cannot wait.

Oh crap

I have vampiric eyes again!! Edward Cullen, where are you?=P

You might have noticed my pictures alternate from crappy to nice shots. Crappy quality shots = my 2 sisters are not with me (no DSLR camera and no patient photographers). I seriously want an SLR too, last year I didn't think I would want one so I bought myself Chanel earrings and lots of pretty things from downtown SF instead of a camera. haha. But now me thinks I want one too! I'm currently crushing on a Canon 500D.

Went karaoke (or VIDEOKE in Filipino =P) last night. Fun night, sang songs from the Beatles, Eraserheads and a bunch of old cheesy Filipino songs! ER duty later then I have Sunday off tomorrow yey!! Might go to a bazaar and shop a little..

And oh, 70 followers! Thank you very much for following me I super appreciate it!=)

Different Cokes for different folks!=PHi I'm Mads. And I'm a Coke Zero Addict.

Lady Gaga's concert was crazy good!!

It was short but super super enjoyable. Her voice sounds great live and her dancing and antics were out of this world.. And the outfits -- aahhhhhhh one amazing outfit after another! Love her shiny outfits and her Vivienne Westwood blazer.. As usual she was pants-less.. I am in awe with Lady Gaga's butt, I wish mine would be as perky as hers haha!!

Went with my sister and her friend. We ended the night eating sushi and people watching. I didn't get to take clear photos of Lady Gaga because we were so far from the stage.

Didn't get to post this immediately because I'm quite a busy bee lately and my last duty was a bit toxic than usual.. ER call at 3AM, then another ER call at 630AM where we sutured an eyebrow then as we were about to go out of the ER we had another patient. He worked in a factory and the blade of the grinder hit his face hitting his eyes nose and mouth (almost slashing his face in half). I really felt sorry for him. Oooppss sorry for such gory details..

There will be another 2 holidays this week.. Yey!!!
I haven't watched the Proposal yet and I wanna watch the Hangover!!
I heard it's super hilarious..

My favorite line: Get back to rap you T-Pain’n too much! I totally agree.
I love Jay-Z and I love the video of this song.. Check it out on youtube!

This was my Sunday outfit. Sorry for the grumpy look it was too hot that day.. I erased my face in the second pic because I look angry haha (galit sa mundo, iha?)

Night out with my girls

Fun night, met up with my college friends whom I haven't seen in a long time for dinner and clubbing until my shoes acted like a diva and decided to give me MAJOR pain haha.. Lesson learned: Should've worn my tried and tested clubbing shoes, not the once I have only worn once to a dinner and probably had about 30 steps mileage..=P

Hello. I'm Miss red-eye! I have red-eye in ALL pics. Happens all the time.

I got this Forever 21 clutch on sale for around $10.
I super love the gold pyramid detail and the leathery look of it.
Not bad for $10 right?

Work vs. Play

This morning, I was preparing stuff to bring back to my apartment. I usually bring my uniform, scrubsuits, my white blouses and my saturday civilian clothes, nothing extra.. But this week it's different, tonight I'm going to dinner with my college friends whom I haven't seen in 2 years.. SUPER EXCITED!!=) On Friday, we'll have dinner then we'll watch the gig of my medschool friends.. So yey I have reasons to dress-up this week!! I'm so happy! So I brought more clothes.. I mostly brought gray-black pieces, it's easier to bring clothes in the same shade if you're in a hurry..

WORK

(uhhmmm it's actually an internship we're not paid and we go on 36 hours duty-- not complaining though!)
What I bring back every single week..

(White blouse: Topshop)

This is my UGLIEST scrub suit but it's the most comfortable..

Last year, when I was still a junior intern this was what I used to wear but now that we're post graduate interns already we're no longer allowed to wear this shade anymore.
Now I use it as sleepwear..=)

PLAY

For dinner later.. eekkk my shoes turned green haha

For friday gig and saturday exam.. and some extras =P

My double purpose shoe box.. It can fit 8 tank tops; some accessories, a scarf and 2 nailpolish..

Just wanted to show you what I look like from Monday-Friday. I'm still amused with the fact that I maintained a blog even if I ACTUALLY wear this everyday except if I'm off to the mall or I'm meeting a friend or I go home or I play dress-up on a weekday.

And to the person who googled this:

philippines uniform dress code residents FEU or physician or skirt "dress code" -residential

(WOW that is the longest search term I've seen!)
I'm sorry you didn't find resident's/doctor's uniform in my blog so here I'm posting my medical intern's uniform.. (And also as per Rain's request a long time ago..=P) Resident's uniform are the same as mine except they wear long-sleeved blazers.

My Magic Skirt + DIY chain necklace again!

Let me tell you a little story about this skirt I saw this in SM department store a month ago and was immediately smitten because of it's tiered puffy look.. I thought to myself: " Me likey! Very avant-garde looking.. Am I really in SM?" So I tried it and of course I took it home along with her nude colored sister..

When I went home to try it on again, I noticed that the puffs were not equal so I inspected the inside. I was surprised to discover that the skirt was the magic skirt I saw online a long time ago.. I was so happy to see the knots on the inside!! I was so excited with the possibilities..

I can wear it and puff it differently..And I can wear it as a simple long skirt if I unknot the ribbons inside.. The skirt is such a genius and what's best is it's only 400 pesos! Initially, the puffs were the reason why I bought it but when I tried the long version, I kinda like the starkness of it more..=)

Which style do you like more the puffed or the long skirt?(Tank: Topshop; Skirt: SM dept store; Shoes: Primadonna; Sunglasses: People are People; DIY chain necklace; Bag: Louis Vuitton) Oh, and the necklace is a new DIY.
It's a one-of-a-kind piece not because the materials are rare or it's hard to do but only because I just tied, twisted, knotted and VOILA instant DIY necklace, I don't know how to replicate it hehe..=P

I will be showcasing my little shoe collection for my 50th post.
Don't forget to check back..=)
