I first saw this bracelet in Accessorize, and if I remember correctly the price was around 300 to 600 which is the normal price range for accessories in Accessorize and if you look at it, it's pretty simple. So here's me bowing down to the popular chinese stereotype of being "thrifty" and making my own version of this bracelet. Originally by Marc Jacobs, I then saw the bracelet on polyvore and shopbop which made me want to have my own one even more. This is a really easy DIY and it will save you a lot of cash as well.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Materials needed:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Scissors</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Super glue and metal clamp OR thread and needle</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Chain, 1 1/2 or 2 inches</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-It'll be up to you if you want it in gold, silver, or gunmetal. The one I used is "gold-plated" and cost around 40 pesos per inch. The size will also be up to you. Originally, the chain is pretty fat but I had already planned on making this an everyday-piece so I went for a smaller size. Bold and chunky or simple and subtle, it's up to you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Elastic rope or garter, around 12-16 inches</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-Or depending on your wrist size; the bracelet will sort of be double-stranded, remember. I used black, but you can also use any color you'd like (don't be racist lol), same with the thickness, totally up to you (insert dirty mind joke here)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How to:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Cut the garter into two and fold each one in half</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Starting with the folded end of the first garter, insert it into one end of the chain</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Take the other end of the garter, and put it through the loop, and pull. Make sure it's tight enough that it won't un-loop</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Do the same thing with the other piece of garter on the other end of the chain</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. To close the bracelet, you can either use super glue and a metal clamp and seal it the same way scrunchies are sealed. If you don't know where to buy a metal clamp, you can also sew the ends of the garter together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or if you're really lazy (like myself) you can always just knot all the ends together with another garter and superglue it to keep it tight, though it won't be as clean as using the clamp or sew thing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's as simple as that! In my case, I spent not more than 200 pesos and did this in less than 30 mins.</div>

It's perfect to wear everyday, on its own, or with an arm party. My best friends and I use them as a friendship bracelets hahaha.<br />
Hope you guys liked this DIY! :)<br />
<br />
Also, I recently downloaded Best Coast's new album, The Only Place, and it is at the top of my playlist these days. If you're into really chill, surf-pop, wavey, simple yet emotional music, this band and their music will not let you down. Below is the first single off the album, "How They Want Me To Be" but my personal favorite track is "No One Like You" (second video)<br />

If you're from Cebu, for sure you've heard of Blanc. It's an online magazine, basically a collision of fashion, arts and culture, from another perspective. Anyway, after a three-month long sabbatical from writing, I started again and contributed to the magazine by writing articles for them, one of which featuring Irie Gastropubliko. These are just some screenshots, the last two are of the articles I wrote. Just click the link below for the full issue!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="color: #073763;">In the growing metropolis that is Cebu City, Irie Gastropubliko, the
first Gastropub in Cebu and a contemporary oasis serves to fill your days, your
nights, your stomach (and maybe even your liver). Whether you’re in for a quick
tasty meal or a long chill drinking session, Irie does not disappoint.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="color: #073763;">The word Irie itself means “<i>positive
emotions and peaceful vibrations, to be at total peace with your current state
of being.” </i>A Gastropub, serves both food and drinks but with a different,
innovative angle.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="color: #073763;">If you’re from a more “advanced” age group, you’ll remember Irie
back in 2004 to be an Asian fusion lounge along Talamban. Because the area
itself was already far for most people, soon enough, development started to
rampage along the area, traffic became inevitable, parking spots got harder to
find, and after two years, the original Irie closed down. Around the same time,
Jan Rodriguez (executive chef of Irie) opened up the well loved, Ila Puti—a
soulful restaurant which then took over the original Asian fusion food concept
for Irie. Since then, Jan has been hoping to revive Irie, planning out every
little detail of his business venture, right down to the location—he knew what
he wanted, how to achieve it, where to establish it, and thus we have Irie
Gastropubliko today.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="color: #073763;">Have you ever noticed that Irie doesn’t have a sign up yet? Jan
says, “I intentionally planned that. I want it to be a place to be discovered,”
but soon enough of course, a sign will be up soon. For Jan, perfection is
important, not just with the food but the entire experience of being in Irie. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="color: #073763;">Irie is designed to be a simple, comfortable yet stylish
Gastropub, with nearly matte black everything, gold and silver accents, and a
soft warm lighting (to add focus to the food or drinks on the table). The walls
of windows in Irie open up late at night, to mesh the interior with the
exterior to truly make it a place for the public. Other than the architectural
design of the pub, what also adds to the blissful atmosphere is the music, courtesy
of the Onozawa brothers (Ken, Kaz and Koh) and their impeccable tastes in
music. Expect a lot of Indie, variations of House, and the occasional Dubstep
while in Irie.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="color: #073763;">While the design gives the impression of it being a pricey place,
take note of the size of the dishes, the quality and taste, the quick and
delightful service, the comforting ambience, everything else in Irie, add that
all up and for sure your wallet wouldn’t mind more visits.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="color: #073763;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="color: #073763;">As a pub, of course, Beer is assured. Though aside from that, their
cocktails and mixed drinks are signature drinks only available at Irie. All
mixed drinks are strong, made with fresh juices and top-shelf liquor (and for
future reference, Wednesdays are Ladies Night!) From afar, Irie simply looks
like a drinking place, but while they do have a pretty wide drink selection and
well-stocked bar, most people go in for the food. The menu in Irie may seem
short and simple, but what they may lack in choices, they make up for with
flavor. When it comes to food, they do not skimp on ingredients. Every dish on
the menu is an Irie recipe, made with only the best and natural selections. The
only difficulty customers will find on the menu is which dish to eat first.
Food-wise, the main attraction is the filling and flavorful burgers—a 1/3 pound
US Sirloin beef patty in between a Brioche bun. Now, why such a fancy bun for a
burger? Jan shares with us that “the bun is like a sponge, and it’s basically
just a vessel to carry the patty” and while other burgers load up on bread,
Irie makes sure that you get a full taste of the meat, which is really what
makes a burger, a burger. With a “personalize it” option, Irie’s burgers will
never get dull. Feeling spicy? Add some chili or jalapenos! In the mood for a
different kind of cheese? Mozzarella or Gruyere, take your pick. Oh, it’s your
cheat day? Add some bacon. Not on a diet? Add some bacon. Are you human? Add
some more bacon. Aside from the burger, the chicken wings are also a big hit
and come in three different flavors you can choose from: Buffalo, Jamaican
Jerk, and House Barbecue (the chef’s personal favorite!) The fall-off-the-bone,
baked then grilled Rack of Ribs only cost—wait for it—350 pesos. Irie’s Truffle
pasta is made with organic and different kinds of mushrooms, and of course,
truffles. Vegetarian? Dieter? Irie’s got you covered. The French Onion soup and
Tomato soup are homemade, all natural, without beef or chicken stock. As for
dieters, have no fear, for salads are here! With your choice between the
classic Caesar salad and the more upscale Smoked Salmon Salad, at the best
price with an even better quality. Everything in Irie is homemade, and pretty
soon, even the ketchup. And to keep things even more interesting, Irie will be
having monthly specials, so that’s definitely something to look forward to.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><span style="color: #073763;">Irie is many things: it’s the hangout place where you and your
friends meet so you can catch up on old times, it’s the restaurant you go to
when you’re in need of a homemade food fix, it’s the pub you and your coworkers
like to relax at after a shift, for whatever reason, Irie is the place to be
and is definitely here to stay.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Just a couple of pictures to give a gist of what I've been up to. Photos from Concave Skate Park, Starbucks and I.T. Park, plus, a burger patty I made, the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi03_YhinYo" target="_blank">SORTED</a> way *wink* and a strawberry cheesecake. Because I like cheesecake. Also, I went to ArmyNavy and Sprockets but I'll do a separate post for em later. Aaaand I've also been addicted to the new HBO series, Girls (trailer and clips below) Created, written by and stars Lena Dunham who is basically the Tina Fey of my generation. The show has an awesome soundtrack as well, so, plus points!<br />

A peek at my favorite accessories these days and my recent adventures. Photos from last week at Dolce, had a taste of their new milk teasers. Went out for karaoke the other night with some friends and to Chicken and Beer (minus the chicken hahaha) the night after. Plus I can now conclude that when a beer tower is left untouched for 10 minutes, don't bother getting back on that wagon. *My ASOS ear cuff also arrived the other day so, yeyy! Also practically drowned in cotton candy yesterday for mother's day.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today my friends and I made last-minute plans to hang out and ended up in Talamban. We went to a friend's place and watched Bubble Boy which was my first time to see it, and all they could say was "you've never seen bubble boy??" Hahaha if I ever say the words "500 Dollars" again in my life, I'll never say it the same as I always have. After that, I had a super late lunch/first meal of the day and ate Ngohiong near school which I haven't had at all since summer started.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Lastly, we went to <b><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cafe-Caw/277038945699622" target="_blank">Cafe Caw</a></b> which was <u>right across Bright Academy</u>, so we just walked and my gosh, it was one of the cutest little places I've ever been to in the city! I had a Green Tea Matcha cupcake which cost 60 pesos, normally not how much I would spend for cupcakes, but I've never had a tea flavored one before so I just went with it. It was so good! I mean, you could really taste the tea in the cake and the icing was good too, though I personally thought it needed to be smoother, or maybe it was really meant to be that grainy with all the sugar? Anyway, I ended up buying a box of 4, which cost 220 pesos. I bought a Vanilla with Vanilla Buttercream, Vanilla with Choco Buttercream, Red Velvet and another Green Tea Matcha *for my mum ;) The Red Velvet was super red velvety, in a good way. The Vanilla cupcakes were so delicious! They weren't too cakey, they didn't fall apart, they were moist, but the icing tasted and felt more like royal icing rather than buttercream which is why when I got home (and I live pretty far) I was surprised that the icing was still in its form and didn't melt, and I even took a damn jeepney, which if you know anything about commuting in the City is a nightmare-like event. They were very tasty cupcakes, but with my allowance, I'm not about to pay sixty pesos every time I'm looking for a cupcake fix, though if you're the "quality over quantity" type of person, I say go for it (not saying that I'm not that type of person, just that I like to compromise, and with cupcakes I somehow always end up in Fudge) Personally, I recommend the Green Tea cupcakes. They're tea-rific *insert awkward wink here*<br />
<br />
I can't wait to go back and maybe eat something other than cupcakes.</div>

If you liked the movie 'It's Kind of a Funny Story' then you'll love 'The Art of Getting By' but this post is going to be less about the movie, and more on the soundtrack. So first thing's first, I think it's pretty evident that movie plots or stories like this are already starting to be a bit of a cliché for this generation --finding meaning in life, making sacrifices, getting your shit together, two people who start off as friends even though the entire audience knows they're going to end up together at the end, bla bla bla-- the soundtrack made up for it, though. I'm sure a lot can relate to this movie, and along with it, the soundtrack.</div>

The movie kicks off with The Shins' cover of 'We Will Become Silhouettes' originally by Postal Service. My favorite track from the film is 'Sleep The Clock Around' which Mates of State covered fittingly, but of course nothing could beat the original by Belle & Sebastian. The Boxer Rebellion also drops a sweet tune in the movie with 'Spitting Fire and for the more, shall I say, advanced? audience, (or for those old souls like myself) Leonard Cohen's 'Winter Lady' will surely put you in a state of nostalgia.</div>

So to keep you up to speed on what I've been up to lately, here are some photos of this week so far. Went to Ayala to do some errands with my bestfriend, <a href="http://loverly-stayfee.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Stefy</a>, had Krispy Kremes, then went to Rick's place to help him with school stuff, played around with his Diana Lomo and the paper ring he made (yeah, not girly at all) Such a happy day, despite it being Stefy's last before leaving for Holland. Counting the days until she gets back<3 And yesterday, I went to I.T. Park with Ally and Eloi, and I applied for a job! Well, the second time. I'm hoping I get this one. Keeping my fingers crossed! Oh, and also, I had more Krispy Kremes. Teehee.</div>

I've recently come across this amazing indie band, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Those_Dancing_Days" target="_blank">Those Dancing Days</a>. From a small suburb in Sweden, their music has made it across seas, into speakers and my ever grateful ears. This all-girl band is definitely one of my favorites now ;) . My favorite from them at the moment is "Keep Me In Your Pocket" because of the coincidentally relatable lyrics.<br />

This weekend was pretty mellow, and I mean reeeaaalllyyyyy mellow! Went to Rick's last saturday night to watch (or at least tried to watch) Mr. Nobody, some episodes of Adventure Time, had lots of pancit canton and brown russians. Then today, my mum got back from Cagayan and brought these yummy pastel buns from Missy Bon Bon, which also comes in these cute boxes.</div>

Also, today I went to my old school and visited my awesome friends. Sat in their Theatre class and had a 101 lecture on Mimes plus a demonstration on how to do mime make-up. Now it's 10:34 and I'm listening to Merry Happy by Kate Nash on repeat. You should too ;)</div>

Musically, <a href="http://www.lanadelrey.com/" target="_blank">Lana Del Rey</a> is a phenomenon. I describe her as a classy posh gangster-- can you imagine? She's hit charts, she's beautiful, her voice and music are not like any other. Mulberry has named a bag after this singing sensation, and will be available for all this May 14th. I love the simplicity of the bags, and I especially love it in blue, but per tonyandlorenzo.com, it seems the design is too simple, to the point of it being generic. In my opinion, Mulberry should have gone with an edgier yet sophisticated bag to name Lana after, because in no way is Lana Del Ray plain. Have you ever heard of Born To Die? Seen the music video? Enough said.</div>

My current favorite from Lana Del Rey: You Can Be The Boss. It's much more upbeat compared to her other singles, Born To Die, Video Games, and Blue Jeans.</div>

The clutch that literally oozes! These Christopher Kane (Fall 2011) Aqua gel-filled clutches are just oh so trippy-- clear PVC material with colored gels in <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/173788" target="_blank">pale green</a>, <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/173789" target="_blank">bright red</a>, orange (and other colors) with blue accents and black gunmetal snap buttons. They remind me a lot of childhood pencil cases, down to the snap buttons and the PVC material. I love how they look, plus I think the brighter colors are adorbs for summer but I'd be too scared it might get a hole or a rip, then ooooooze! bye bye colors :(</div>

Feeling creative? Design your own pair of jeans on <a href="http://getwear.com/designers/521/" target="_blank">Getwear!</a> It's an amazing site, exclusively denim and you can have your own pair of jeans made, however you want it! Sizes can be custom made for you, and you can even add designs like rips and paint splatters if you want. And, that's not even the best part. You can design your own pair of jeans, capris, or shorts; plus, pick out what style you want, whether it's flared, skinny, boyfriend, slim, straight, etc.; plus, plus, choose between buttons or zippers, and styles of pockets; plus, plus, plus, choose your own shade of denim; and once you're done, you can even sell your design right on the site! Quadruple plus! Can you say, jean-ius? *Okay, bad pun. Moving on.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of my own designs ;)<br />

I'm 500 pesos away from buying a pair of creepers! Unless of course I end up spending it all and then I'll just be back where I started. Which is zero. Must. Resist. Buying. Anything. Else! Anyway, I want these babies so bad! Not only are they an eye-catching pair, but they'll make me at least two inches taller ;) So I'm planning on making this week very productive, i.e.: get my driver's permit, worker's permit, a copy of my birth certificate, print up I.D. pictures, print up copies of my resume, pay my school tuition, find a job, and find a place in the city that converts betamax tapes to DVDs. Busy, busy, busy! Also, I got a haircut yesterday and the lady took waaay too much off, but I'm getting used it. Well, I will. Eventually. Hopefully.</div>

Summer has come and it feels like it's going by so quickly. Must. Make. Every. Day. Count.<br />
<br />
The other day, my friends and I had this craving for sweets. Since it's summer, going to Fudge, which is our usual place to get a sugar-fix, seemed too far. And plus, we wanted to try out something new, hence the adventure. We went to Dolce, which is a cafe up in Lahug, a bit farther from The Outpost. It had this all-white modern chic fusion atmosphere which I loved, but it gave this really high-class snob vibe, so braced myself and was well-prepared to spend maybe more than I usually would on cake, but to my relief, the prices weren't as expensive as I thought they were going to be. We ended up ordering a S'mores Cake, a slice of Green Tea Caramel Cake, No Sin Apple Oats shake, Coffee Espresso, and Spinach & Mushroom Quiche. I also brought home a slice of Red Velvet Cheesecake which was the best action my mouth has had since Big Bucks' *which is now no longer being sold :(* Cheesecake. So now, I'm predicting Dolce will become one of my favorite cafe's and sugar fix spots. Can't wait to go back soon!<br />

Yesterday was a pretty productive day; I cooked (veggies and tuna & kimchi), gave my dog a bath, read a couple of pages of my pocket book on Fossils, watched the first season of Community, shortened my sidecut, took vain pictures of myself, bleached my bag (doing an ombre project that I'll post up soon *wink) Can all that be considered productive? I have no idea but for the sake of my day, let's just say it is.</div>

These are just some of my recent purchases and gifts. I haven't really used most of these, but in time, I will! ;)</div>

1) Forever 21 royal blue t-strap moccasins my papa bought for me and I've been using waaaaay too much 2) Parisian black satchel bag-- I can't wait to use the crap out of it! 3) Lucky thrift denim suit jacket that I haven't used yet, since it doesn't feel very summer appropriate; praying for rain just so I can use this bad boy >.< 4) Sleeveless lace button-down dress, another lucky thrift I got for under 100 bucks 5) Downtown find collar necklace 6) Juicy Couture bangle; for a Juicy bangle, the design is really simple but that's why I love it 7) Dreamcatcher/wind chime keychain my best friend brought for me from Enchanted Kingdom</div>

Okay so yes, clearly I've been spending a lot, but I prefer to look at these as wardrobe investments; I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm not just going to use any of these once or twice. A hundred times, at least. Hahaha. And now that it's summer and I'm not taking any classes, so that means no allowance :( I'm pretty determined to find a job though, or even just volunteer for something. I want money, but mostly, I just want my time to be well-spent.</div>

This morning I'm lusting for a pair of these babies. Isabel Marant high-top sneakers would be perfect for a look that's casual and effortless. Though, I doubt that with the weather in the Philippines, summer or not, these would probably be too hot to wear? It's a theory.<br />
My personal favorite is the brown, pink and orange ones on the photo below. </div>

On a different note, I just got my grade for Econ today, and I failed, which is stressing the life out of me! This is the first time I've put so much effort and time into a class, a minor one nonetheless, and in the end none of it was good enough. They say grades don't reflect the students, but the teachers. For the first time, I'm actually starting to see the truth in that phrase.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whatever, I am not going to let this get me down for the entire day. I'm going over to my bestfriend's house, she's going to do my hair and we're just gonna spend the day together with our other bestfriends, and it's going to be, awesome!</div>

So today, the weather was perfect. I woke up around after noon, and it wasn't that sunny; it just finished raining. I decided it was the perfect weather for going on a walk, so I did. I wound up downtown and ended up buying a pack of studs, at the moment I had no idea what to with them but when I got home I thought hey, why don't I make a DIY?</div>

The inspiration: <a href="http://www.purseblog.com/trends/alexander-wang-coco-duffel.html" target="_blank">Alexander Wang Coco Duffel Bag</a> (top) & <a href="http://www.upscalehype.com/2010/06/vanessa-hudgens-carrying-alexander-wang-diego-studded-bag/" target="_blank">Alexander Wang Diego Bucket Bag</a> (bottom)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Things I Used:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
An old black inexpensive faux leather bag</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Studs of choice (I used about 80 studs)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scissors (to push the studs in easier)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. I cut the lining inside the bag to make it easier to put in the studs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Estimate how many studs you'll need, how far you want them apart, and where you want to place them. I placed most of the studs on the bottom, just like the AW bags above, and when I had some studs leftover, I put some on the sides.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. From the outside of the bag, push the bottom of the stud into the bag (if the stud you used is similar to mine, it'll just go right through the bag) and on the inside of the bag, push in the teeth of the stud until they're flat or going inward the stud and not upright. Use scissors, or anything strong and hard you can use to push the teeth in; if you're planning to just use your fingers, for your sake better hope you're not a bleeder, unlike myself. Do this repeatedly until you've put in all the studs you want.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Stitch the lining back up, and voila!<br />
<br />
Here's the result of my DIY Alexander Wang inspired bag</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">*The bag I used was really slouchy so I had to pin up the sides of the bottom just to estimate how much space I needed to fill up</span></div>

And, I'm back! ;) My normal sleeping pattern has finally caught up with me, at last! I've been so doped on cough medicine for the past couple of days, I can't believe it's already been five days since I left San Remigio. So to keep you all up to speed, I was at an Archaeological Field School the past week and I got back last wednesday. I'm going to have to keep this really short since my bed and 4-hour routine prescription of cough syrup isn't letting me stay awake. To wrap this up, I've learned a lot from field school, also got a ridiculous tan which I'm hoping to even out soon. </div>

I'm baaaaaack! And it's finally summer!! I am so excited to catch loads of z's and absolutely looking forward to our excavation (i'm majoring in Archaeology) which in two days! And it'll be for about two-weeks, more or less, so I won't be posting anything in two weeks but as soon as i get back, I am going to put up photos :) So lately I've been to Sumo Sam, Spice Fusion, Á Café and Seattle's Best. Sumo Sam made me wish I had two stomachs. Spice Fusion had the best fruity tea drinks that are so summer proper. Á Café, best Turkey sandwich ever, which I didn't order for myself but it was absolutely delicious. Seattle's Best at the moment has my vote for the best Chai Tea Latte. Also there's this upcoming tea place, near Ayala Center Cebu, called Bon Appetea. I'm not quite sure if they've opened already but it'll probably be very soon, or at least I'm hoping! haha. </div>

I am such a fan of the Werelse group; Andy, Chiara, and Carolina are a stunning team of international fashion bloggers with their own clothing line, <a href="http://www.werelse.com/index.html" target="_blank">Werelse</a>. They are an utterly amazing collision of talent, personality and style, and recently they've teamed up with fashion brand MANGO Touch-- this brand (still part of <a href="http://shop.mango.com/preHome.faces?state=touch_010_IN" target="_blank">MANGO</a>) is exclusively dedicated to accessories and footwear. This video basically is to introduce, present, and promote their collaboration with Mango. Aside from the bloggers themselves, the video also stars Spanish actress Rossy de Palma.<br />
<br />

The collection will be available *worldwide on April 15th, on the MANGO website and the werelse website (links above)<br />

These photos are from the other week. We went to Yakiniku Tajimaya at Crossroads for dinner because it was my papa's birthday! Originally, we had planned to go to this taiwanese shabu-shabu place near Ayala, but it was packed when we got there so my parents suggested we go to Yakiniku instead. It was a new experience, having to go to a restaurant and actually cook your own food. Similar to shabu-shabu places, you cook your own food too, but most of it's (shabu-shabu) already half-cooked and all you need is to let it simmer in the broth. At Yakiniku, you grill your own food-- charcoal barquettes, of course. You're probably getting this image in your mind of Larsian, where it's all smokey and foggy hahaha that's what I had originally expected too, but they used charcoal, instead of the usual "uling" which is typically used for bbqs in the Philippines. It took us a couple of orders to get the grilling thing right, so if you, dear reader, plan on going to Yakiniku, here are some tips I've thought of:<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
1. You're probably really hungry and can't wait to eat, but seriously, be patient in cooking your food. The Japanese may be used to eating raw fish and chicken (yes, some Jap dishes include raw chicken), but are you? Ever heard of Salmonella? Ecoli? Trichinosis? Ring any bells? Yes? No? Perfect time for google.<br />
<br />
2. Don't dump all your meat on the grill at once. We did that the first try, and it ended up being a total fail. We could smell our meat burning, but we couldn't really pick out which one was burnt because there was too much meat on the grill. Place the pieces evenly apart from each other, not too far apart, and not too close, while flipping them over every now and then to evenly cook the meat.<br />
<br />
3. Use the tongs provided on the table. Do Not use your chopsticks! They're flammable, remember?<br />
<br />
4. Fire's too hot? Ask for ice.<br />
<br />
5. Spice it up. Other than the chili sauce they give you, per table, there's a tray of sauces. Experiment. There's soy sauce (i'm guessing Kikkoman?), this green thing that's kinda gingery and garlicy and oniony all in one, this red paste which is really tomatoey, and this other paste that's dark brown. Sauce is free. Abuse it. *Kidding.<br />
<br />
6. Mouth feeling too hot? Chill. There's free ice cream ;)<br />
<br />
Yakiniku's a bit pricey, but if you're doing it right, it's totally worth it!<br />
<br />
Yakiniku Tajimaya is located at Crossroads, Banilad<br />
*At the very back, in between Maya and this other Japanese place<br />

While I was browsing through google results for fringes & tassels, I came across this photo and I just got so giddy! These black suede boots with tassel covered heels and serrated platforms would absolutely complement themselves, no matter what outfit. Designed by Camilla Skovgaard, found on <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/81131#" target="_blank">http://www.net-a-porter.com/</a> (unfortunately, it's not available anymore)</div>
