3.1

It's so funny that when I first saw this sign outside of the streets in Soho, I thought It says Philippines, at that time I had to look hard to see if I was really reading it right...sorry my glasses were not present at that time. 

I just recently found out what it says, well hello *ding-dong* hehehe it's a designer's name Philip Lim. The funny thing is that I have been loving his designs for quite some time now and not realizing that when I stood outside of his store in New York that it was one of his shops...I didn't really know that those clothes I have been admiring were designed by him, never paid a visit to his site nor ever looked at what his logo was...sad! ;(

As a matter of fact, when I was deciding what I should wear for my 25th birthday, I really fell in love with the dress that Lauren Conrad wore for The Hills season four finale. So then my goal was to find something similar and of course sequined out! Again, what she wore that night was a dress from Philip Lim...gorgeous!

My version is from Arden B.

Here's some of his works that I find so amazingly beautiful and so stylish!

JFK to the BAY

why? aaAarghh!

What A Buy

what makes my day are good buys

It's been a while since i've visited the Gap store and for those who knows how I shop, the only time I buy something at the Gap is when I'm at the premiums' *wink ;) 

Deal for the day was a plain boyfriend tee v-neck for $3.97 (yellow) However, the second tee was three dollars more, I'm guessing because of the color, it's usually the case or if it's new in stock. I love how it has that over washed look, sunkissed wash per Gap. The cute little pocket definitely reminded me of my old shirts in junior high. Ohh...and the loose fitting is a must, so I got a medium...a must just cause tight fitting makes one body look like a suman. 

DEF: suman: sweet sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves [filipino snack]

UNION STREET FESTIVAL

SoHo in Disguise! 

I know that ever since i got back from my trip, New York is absolutely a non stop saying...

 "new york this and new york that."

i'm in love!

Anyway, I went to Union Street [UNION STREET FESTIVAL]today in SF it's in the Marina District, which defines the savvy resto, boutiques and more of each kinds. Our plan was to visit mother Heather at work to look at some shades and reading glasses. Heading out there today was very hectic for they have closed the street for a an annual festival, which by the way was a last minute notification that there was going to be one today. The street was filled with bunch of stands that was grillin', cooking, serving and selling unique pieces of many kinds. Booze was permitted and there were some crazy folks walking around with a beer bong and some were taking shots of Ketel wrapped in a brown paper bag *ghetto-fabulous--hmmm..in the Marina. LOL!

Overall what a beautiful day to spend a saturday afternoon!

Why did I mention SoHo?

It definitely reminded me of the streets in SoHo, just being with the crowd and the busy-ness of the street and so it's in Disguise cause in reality Im in SF ;(

Cage

Guilty feet have got no rhythm...

so this pair of "cage studded booties" was the cause of our last minute shopping conflict. for some reason, he manages to squeeze in a unnecessary comment about the shoe. With that being said, I decided to return the shoe as i stand in front of the cashier. As soon as I got out of the store, "ignore mode" has been turned ON...knowing that he would feel guilty, he ran back to the store and purchase the shoe.

Later on, when everything seemed to cool down, he mentioned that i tricked him so that he pays for the shoes! what an ass!!! lol...hey it was not my intention, but the fact that he even came up with that excuse what an a-hole!

i felt guilty afterwards, so i thank him ;)!

Good to be back

I really wish that my trip was longer

I wish I had more time

I wish i live there...

Enjoyed my dinner here BUDDAKAN

midnight blaahh

Okay, so having the most "insanawesomeness" conversation with CP just about a few min. ago, we basically talked about things that we used to appreciate when we were young or at least what she appreciated cause she thought it was somewhat...hmmm anyway, little things that we asked for to our parents like a toy. 

Most of the time they won't consider purchasing such things because it's expensive or it's not worth it. So to go straight to the point, we were talking about the digital pet, the infamous "TAMAGOTCHI" lol! Back then in 1998, those were the "IT" gadgets to show off your friends. She mentioned how she felt bad, because her parents purchased it for her for the price of $24, which back then cost a lot of money. With my witty-ness i responded to her, I got it as a happy meal from McDonalds....totally broke the sadness. ;( hahhah! ---

ok, so eleven years later comes this social network called "FACEBOOK" having those random invites for such applications seemed to be a little too much for me, so sorry if i don't approve many of the request. Well to continue, she called me a couple of days ago, to ask if I approved her farm invite...and i'm like "farm-huh?! yea i saw that...lol" anyway, it's just funny that after all these years this girl is digitally updated! hahhaha j/k!

love ya shane ;)

BTW: just saw this...

who's up for some ICE CREAM..ice cream...ice cream?

GOLDEN OPULENCE: 24 K EDIBLE GOLD LEAF

TV [television]

Morning shoutOUT... yay! it's thursday!

aahhh! as a student this fourth day of the week is indeed a "friday's eve" to take a break from all the stress...some may call it a "thirst-day" lol! happy hour time per se.

Meet my BFF...

anyway

as i lay on my bed at this very moment, i was just thinking how much i watch

TV (television)

• right when i wake up
• when i'm eating (breakfast/lunch/merienda/dinner)
• when i'm surfing the net/posting blogs/facebook/myspace/twitter
• in the shower (even if there's no TV in my bathroom)
• studying (of course it's on MUTE)
• putting make up on 
• sleeping (set on sleep for 60 min)
  

i can definitely go on and on..with this list, but you can probably see my daily routine

revolves around the TV being ON at all times.

well ever since i was young, i was always watching tv

"i'm not a reader, but a watcher"

visual learner-lol!

i just love hearing the sound of what's on TV

it makes it homie for me, i guess it's like how my brother has to have his radio ON 

all the time.

my parent's always tells me to turn my TV OFF [most of the time] because they can see that i'm not even watching, perhaps i was doing some of the stuff i've listed.

e.g. TV is ON but obviously keeping myself busy by taking photos ;p 

just like what i used to say..."girls gotta do what girls gotta do"

Nightlife

the first time i visited academy of science was during day time and now or so i've heard that it's having "nightlife" with cocktails ;) FUN!

i surely enjoyed the nightlife more because there's absolutely NO kids running around [21 & up only]...trust ME i don't hate kids, but too many of them is just too many of them!!! 

 and of course the drinks are a plus and the crowd is very diverse.

happy birthday charmagne!

entrance fee: $10

wine: $8

mixed drinks: $7-$10

Lola's [Gucci]

From what i recall in old photos of my lola [grandma: in Filipino] she had a purse on her that was hanging on her right wrist. About a month ago, for some weird reason i was thinking of what kind of purse she was holding...i named a few to my auntie and well what do you know 'voila' it was her vintage Gucci. Well i kindly asked my auntie if i can sport it for awhile, since lola is in the Philippines she won't be needing her old [vintage] aahhemm purse! So, without my lola's consent my auntie kindly let me borrow it. But then again weird feeling came stumbling or should i say anxious...i want the purse! aahhh! as soon as i got home with my lola's purse, i called her long distance to ask if i can YEP have it! i felt bad cause she was taking a nap and i woke her up, but she was happy to hear my voice lol! ...."yea, go take it" she made my day! 

THANKS lola ;)

Bucket of Fire...

We ate at this seafood resto Fish Hopper for dinner and yesss... the following morning TOO! cause it was just so damn good! The highlight was our cocktail drink...bucket of fire!

feed me [poke]

thursday is the weekend eve per se!

to start this early weekend, we went over to Pacific Catch on 9th Ave [fresh seafood & salad with a hint of asian fusion cuisine-NICE!]

when we arrived, i was craving for some poke for some reason..so i ordered the hawaiian poke salad, i can say its one of the best salad i've had ;) 

i was absolutely hungry!!! luckily, the service was fast! it took about 15 min..., but during the time being, i was sort of losing patience....aaarghhh! hungry...feed me!

trying to wait patiently...[yet still trying to look cute--lol]

 losin' my cool!

ohhh...and finally!

another location is on the Marina/Cow Hollow

NEED ME SOME...

GETTIN' RIPPED... 

i'm addicted! for some weird reason, i feel that ripped jeans are classic...who ever invented or even started the trend is awesome! They go great with any outfit [e.g. for everyday, casual, even for dress up!-really though...] I actually noticed that most of my jeans have some sort of ripped personalities in them, it's either above the knees or below and at the bottom where i drag

them if it's a little long. 

Here's some super chic photos: I WANT!

this one is super CUTE!!!

MIDRIFFS...

so, besides rippin my jeans...i've been eyeing on these well cut fashion tops that mainly focuses on the beauty of your belly. Really though?! they are HOT! [tryin' real hard to meet that goal of having a flat stomach] NOTICE the white top on the right, it's just lovely, mann..i can absolutely make a replica of that..all i need is time and a trip to JoAnns or Beverlys LOL! and the black top is super clean simple and beautiful.

ONE SHOULDER...

summer is just around the corner and i've been looking for a swimwear, somewhat similar to these photos...one shoulder definitely leaves a major statement!!! NO DOUBT ;)
