Cleaning Out My Closet

During Moonsoon Habagat, I stayed at home for 2 days for it was not safe to go to work. All those days I could've fixed my room or cleaned it for that matter but I didn't. I was just asleep, tweeting and letting random people inside the house.

After Habagat, that's when I had the urge to fix and just clean everything!

My pile of clothes

This is how messy my clothes are, every time I have to go to work, I have to go through all this mess just to find that top or skirt I'd want to wear. Mind you, these are just my clothes in Manila. I have a separate set of clothes in Pampanga waiting to be sorted. They say your room somehow mirrors how your mind is, if that's the case, I can say this one is a pretty good job!

Removed everything

I removed all my stuff in the closed, I didn't know everything was just dumped in there. Tops, bottoms, socks, belts, undies, scarves, jackets and whatnot. I had to sort them and try to organize them for close to 3 hrs.

Food Diary : Mezza Norte

In my kind of work, things get easily boring. Ciggies, food and coffee keep me up at night. If you're familiar with UP-Ayala Technohub, yup, that's where I work. Just right in front of UP Diliman. And you know what, the food chains can be pretty boring especially if you've been working at the place for 2yrs now. KFC, Reyes BBQ, Mini Stop, Ral's, Pizza Hut, Flapjacks, etc. This may look like a lot of variations including pantry food but believe me it gets tiring in the long run. #firstworldproblems

A different company has their own version of Banchetto and we go there every Friday to put some color into our lives. Imagine my excitement when I saw on Twitter that Mercato is going to be invading my workplace, yes, my workplace! Well, in entirety, it's not just my workplace but yeah. I was pretty excited because that meant a new selection of food to choose from. Knowing Mercato, it will be expensive. I guess that's the price we have to pay just to have some variation. And so we welcome, Mezza Norte!

Gotta Slow It Down Baby, Gotta Have Some Fun

I was awake the whole night. The boyfriend spent his time drinking with his buddies and I really can't drink so I had my own alone time as well, had a Lie To Me marathon and also waited for the closing ceremonies of the 2012 Olympics. I was looking forward to THE Spice Girls, and after several irrelevant performances, there they were!

There's a Solemate for Everyone

I haven't indulged myself into shopping for a few months now for I was saving up for an air condition for my room in the province. Also, whenever I go into malls and I feel like spending, I would mostly buy appliances, furnitures and linens. Lol. I don't know, I feel old doing that but I also feel great especially when my Mom would approve of the things that I buy.

Anyhoo, while strolling and looking for trinkets I can buy for my room, I chanced upon this brand. The brand had a lot of cute and cheap flats! And that brand, ladies and gents, is Solemate!

My Lips Like Sugar

Hey guys! How have you been doing? The boyfriend got into an accident yesterday, I had to skip work so I can take care of him. We were also staying at home when the accident happened so we can't really travel to the metro. His foot injury looks a bit okay now but he still needs some rest.

I acted as his nurse (no kinky sex though. lol) since the incident and he's usually asleep which gives me more time for the innernetz! Yay! Lol, no. I have to wake him up at certain hours for his meds. But yes, more time for the internet which led me to discover Sugarlips! I was browsing a friend's blog when I saw their ad and boy, they have awesome stuff! While taking care of the boyfriend, I also spent my time window shopping. Lol. Check out the things I loved from their site.
