LOOKBOOK | 27Nov2015: Oversize me

Image
I really need to do something about my weight gain. Whenever I look at myself in the mirror I'm disgusted with what I see. Oh, the flab and those so-called love handles jumping out of my pants! Haha! In the meantime I can simply cover up. For one, there's this fad going on with oversized shirts -- perfect for my oversized self. Takes inspiration from the 80s, actually.

LIFESTYLE | PayMaya Visa and the first ever Pinoy Cyber Sale

Image
This morning I just got my very own PayMaya Visa card with beep . It's a three-in-one financial technology product that includes an instant virtual Visa that consumers can use for online shopping and payments, a physical card that can be used at any Visa-accepting brick-and-mortar establishment, and a beep card that commuters can use for their LRT and MRT fares. It's the perfect time to get one because the Black Friday and Cyber Monday madness in the U.S. is now officially being introduced in the Philippines--by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) no less! DTI has partnered with over 20 e-commerce stores in the country, such as Takatack , to launch the first ever Pinoy Cyber Sale , which will run from Black Friday (Nov. 27) to Cyber Monday (Nov. 30).

LOOKBOOK | 26Nov2015: The mad cat and the pirate in loafers

Looks like someone's not very happy about being picked up and smothered with kisses. Well, she asked for it. She was the one who's been walking to and fro while I was working my way with the camera and timer. Thordis always does this and I've had enough. That expression on her face, though -- priceless!

LOOKBOOK | 19Nov2015: Always with you

Image
This was what I wore to the mall yesterday. Keeping it casual and relaxed, I simply went with shorts and a tee. It may be subtle--not big of a deal even--but rolling up the hems gave the shorts a rather fresh take. The tee is but one of many Uniqlo x Line pieces that I have. That store is such a trap that every time I find myself inside, I always end up leaving with something in hand. Besides, how can I resist the cute duo of Connie and Brown from Line ? I'm not sure if they're restocking, though, as I haven't seen Line merchandise for some time now. Anyway, look how cute they are in their onesies!

LOOKBOOK | 17Nov2015: Sheepish on another faux Friday

Image
Wearing blue and olive here. Oh, the APEC blues. After a hellish Monday for commuters everywhere due to road closures and all, it was a surprisingly much better day yesterday with very light traffic, probably because a lot of people opted to, depending on their respective workplaces's arrangements, worked from home or simply skipped going to work altogether. And oh yeah, because Wednesday and Thursday were declared special holidays in Metro Manila (and I'm on leave on Friday), yesterday felt very much like the start of the weekend. Or it could be just me.

LOOKBOOK | 14Nov2015: Feeling young

Image
Because of some passport-related stuff I found myself at the same mall for two consecutive days. While I sported a more "dignified" look last Friday (I was renewing my passport after all), Saturday saw me in a more relaxed state. First up, those shoes. Quite the departure from my normal footwear, I got them on a whim after Kwittiegirl saw a poster and decided to check the store out. Maybe a tad cartoonish for its bulky look, but they're very light and comfy. I find them really cute.

LOOKBOOK | 28Oct2015: The spray painter

Another long overdue post but I felt like pushing through with it still because I'm personally just loving the burst of color in my outfit here. This was taken in the heat of our Halloween preparations where we were decking up our office space with a Shark Tale Halloween theme . I was spray-painting some newspaper here that would be made into corals.

LOOKBOOK | 23Oct2015: The hoodied Doraemon

Such a very long table for one, don't you think?  This was taken weeks ago and I've completely forgotten about it and all these other photos here because of all the stuff at work and yes, Halloween. But now that it's all behind us, and especially since we won our HR's workplace decorating contest again--this year with a Shark Tale theme for Halloween --it's now time for a long overdue outfit post.

EVENTS | Shark Tale: When our office went under the sea for Halloween

Image
So much glee under the sea! Oh, the Halloween blues... You know, fun times at the office and all. Where I work, annual Halloween celebrations are a blast--and last Friday was no exception. While in past years departments were given free rein on their theme and choice of decor, this year our HR stepped in and, based on the results of a survey, assigned a movies theme for all. They tied it with iflix , a movies and TV streaming service with which Smart  has a partnership. You can check out http://smart.com.ph/pages/iflix for more information about the service, available subscription packages (like a measly Php99/month, anyone?), and more. Reps from each floor drew lots to determine their designated movie. The choices were reportedly from iflix's top 200 movies. Personally I wasn't very happy about this--at least at first--because we already had grand plans for something else. It also didn't help that we got Shark Tale . Shark Tale. When I broke the news to my co
