Isabel Marant Sneakers & Today's Thoughts

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.
My personal favorite is the brown, pink and orange ones on the photo below.

Photos from the past two weeks :)

Five-Nation Foodpocalypse

Had so much food over the weekend-- and these were only from Saturday! My papa, sister, and her boyf picked me up from class and we went to Joed's Lutong Hapon for lunch. Awesome japanese food (but they had Kimchi on the menu, which I'm pretty sure is Korean >.<) at an awesome price. We ordered so much for four people, we were so stuffed after and the bill didn't even make it to a thousand pesos. Sulit ;) For dessert, we went to Macaron Tango Café and chilled for a while, before going home. I had a Mango/Vanilla Macaron; the color's very tweety-birdish ;)  I usually get my macarons at Vanille, so when we got to the café, I felt very nostalgic about my first macaron, which I bought there about one or two summers ago. I'm definitely going back for more *wink And! they also had these necklaces with macarons as pendants-- so adorable! We also ordered Canelés de Bordeaux; the chef, Remi Lastere, who was very friendly I might add, came up to our table, and shared to us that Canelés were his specialty. My papa even wants to go back for more :)) For dinner, Ally and I went to our friend's 18th Debut Party, which was absolutely last minute, and we didn't expect it to be so fancy *we felt so under-dressed :( Had lots of Lengua and Paella; personal favorite combo. Explored Casino Español a bit, then went to I.T. Park afterwards with John. We had originally planned to go to La Marea, but of course, since it was a saturday, it was full. So plan b, McDonald's! Had coke floats, fries, made fun of John's forehead *and our friend Carlo came by too. It was such a fun day, I'm having high hopes for this weekend! ;)

Deliciousness In A Box

My dad got back from Manila (again) last night and brought Cinnabons! Yummmm. I've been munching on the cinnamonic (what?) deliciousness all dawn with so much coffee on the side, but I've finally finished my presentation for class later :D

Pluuuus, it's saturday and there's so many options on what to do and where to go; Thirsty Cup at school, Eloisa's Rugby game at CIS, crash Stefy's Phys Ed class at the Bowlingplex, or stay home and cuddle with Chilli. It's saturday, who wouldn't want to go out? Though I think the universe will most probably lead me home and tell me to stay in. *Okay universe, if you say so.

When In Doubt, Have Some Mint

Happy Wednesday! So I'm going to be trying something new for my blog, which I hope will catch on and I'll continue to do: When In Doubt Wednesdays. Basically, it's just that the title for my posts on Wednesdays will start off with "When In Doubt," and then continue it with something which relates to the post. I got the idea when I read this quote by Bill Blass, which says "When In Doubt, Wear Red."

Had class all day; Economics exam was a bust, but I finished my Anthropology report! :) Went to Brown Cup this afternoon with Ricky after class for comfort food, but decided to skip the extra calories  (haha) of a blueberry cheesecake and had a Mint Chip Frappe instead, well enough for a warm afternoon. *Also, if I had a peso for every inappropriate touch I've felt while riding a jeepney, I'd be damn rich.

And today's theme song is Ten-Twenty-Ten by Generationals (video below)

Pastry Monday

Happy Tots Tuesday! My friends and I went to Fudge yesterday after school for our proposed new tradition: Pastry Monday, previously Flame It Monday, but pastries seem to be more of our thing than burgers ;) This is my third cupcake post this week! Fist bump for cupcake binges. Hell yeah. So all the girls had cupcakes, and Rick had a cheesecake (because he's such a badass) If you've read my Giant Macaron post, we had the same cupcakes then but the ones we had yesterday were Valentine-themed! And speaking of more cupcakes, my friends and I are planning on making some and sell them on Valentine's. Can't wait for our baking party :))

CupcaKen

*This is going to be a critique on the recently opened Cupcake shop in Cebu, CupcaKen.
This post is not intended to offend anyone from CupcaKen or discourage anyone to visit CupcaKen, this is simply my opinion*

The Day We Murdered Cupcakes

Last Friday, my dad brought Cupcakes by Sonja from Manila. The icing was a bit melted already though but they still tasted so yummy! My sister went to Manila recently and kept raving about how delicious they were, but that she didn't have time to buy more and bring some; just our luck my dad also went to Manila a day or two after my sister got back so he brought a box of six cupcakes when he got back. It was like a murder scene in the box as soon as we opened it >.< *Makes me sad that they're only in Manila, though :(

PossibiliTeas

Finally, a new post! :D So an update for the other day, my friends and I went to Cobo! And obviously from the photo above, Cobo has some awesome possibiliTeas, and yes, they were indeed awesome.

I honestly thought it was really unique, I mean I kind of expected it to be like Bubble Bee, or Quickly, or Zagu (sorry if you're not from Cebu and couldn't relate to any of that teehee), but Cobo had that youthful and cartoony twist which is pretty much what made it, well, awesome. Plus, not mention their insane variety of teas! It took me so long to choose what kind to get because they had so many intriguing flavors. They had a set of milk teas, teas with floating sea salt, and bubble burst teas. I ordered a mango peach bubble burstea as soon as the lady was finished explaining to me. Bubble burst teas were fruit teas, with juice balls; the balls looked like sago, but when you bite into it, juice would burst out! Cobo's an awesome place to hang out, and prices aren't that bad either ;) Haha and I also sort of interviewed the lady at the counter and learned two things: Cobo is from Taiwan, and Milk Teas are their best-sellers >.<

McDonald's Monday & 3k Hits!

I am sooo beat! I had two midterms today which I was not so prepared for, but I'm hoping for good outcomes since I felt pretty confident about my answers. Also had a double cheeseburger at McDonald's, cookies & cream ice cream and a blueberry Pop Tart. Tomorrow, I'm not eating +.+ (a lot) I have one more midterm on saturday, two reports for my cultures class, one for sociology another for economics, photos of the university campus for brochures, all due within this week! Manic monday, indeed :(

Yo Ho Ho And A Cup Of Ice Cream

Yesterday I went to Logos with my parents. I haven't been on the ship since I was little girl, so I was really excited to be there, and I can't wait to go back this saturday (or before they leave which is February 14th.) I bought a really big map, and as soon as we got home, I put it up on my wall. Had ice cream and cookies and croissants, too :) Aaand I really loved the pattern posters they had on their walls-- you'll know what I'm talking about when you scroll down :P

If you're in Cebu, definitely take time to board the ship, or you can click this link for a schedule of their upcoming ports.

Arcade Fire

TGIF yesterday! Had an exam and I have this feeling in my gut that I tanked it :( but my archaeology midterm got postponed which is insanely perfect timing since I haven't studied a bit. So yesterday Ally and I hung out with Yuno, stayed in Ayala and had carrot cake, macarons, dinner, then met up with Stefy and played at Timezone ; also had lots of coke, and in the spirit of Chinese New Year, had Peanut Tikoy as well :)

Every Detail Is An Adventure

Pictures I took of myself for The Fashion Photomoto's project.

I love fashion because every detail is an adventure.

More Light, Please

So when I got home from class yesterday, I found a new table lamp in my room! A random present from my parents which I'm suspecting is just phase 1 in their conspiracy to get me to study more >.< Still, a million thank yous to both of them :) Got coupons from Mang Inasal and Yellow Cab, too. Decided to try out the table tamp and took some shots of all the clutter I had on my desk.

Time Flies

Photo journal for yesterday!

Midterms the whole day, then went to Terriyaki Boy with Ally and Rick for maki (again >.<) to unwind. 

Macro Attack

Last week I brought Normy (my Nikon) with me to school, and we took some random shots of random things, and my friends. So, basically this is a photo journal of last week :)

Tastes Like Flowers

Tuesday, Be Good

It's tuesday and class is in two hours. I've got the most unsettling pain in my chest and my ankle still hurts a bit (I had an accident and grazed probably 60% of skin off my ankle) but I can walk properly now, so yehey to that I guess? >.< Okay, so basically for this post I thought I'd show you what's in my school bag. I normally don't use this bag, but since last night my mind's been filled with ideas on how to accessorize it a bit because I just think it's too plain. I'll figure how to later and post it up soon ;)

After-school Remedy

It's been almost a week since school started again from Christmas break and I already miss it so much. I simply cannot wait for summer! So last tuesday since I only had classes in the morning, my friends and I went to Starbucks and stayed there for the afternoon just to chill and talk (and play pictionary >.<) And Starbucks gave us free samples of their Venetian Latte with Orange Honey which reminded me of that scene in Zoolander where all the boys went "Orange Mocha Frappuccinooo!"

Screen Theme Party: My 18th

Last sunday was my birthday, which goes without saying, I am now eighteen! I had a party the day before which was saturday, and I made it a Screen Theme Party in which I basically required myself and my guests to dress up as any TV Show or Movie Character, and to improvise however they can or want to. My uncle baked cupcakes and gave me these adorable sets of candles, Unicorn candles. Can you say hellsyeahh! For the giftbags, I had an idea to put them in popcorn bags or cups, but since looking for those was a bust, my best friend came up with the smartest thing, to just buy regular cups and paint the red lines in. I guess I was under so much stress, the thought never even crossed my mind to do that >.< It was such a fun night! Plus, we had trivia games that my sister hosted and then we played pictionary-- very PG 13, yes, but it was fun though. Next year, hopefully I'll have not just a fun, but Epic birthday.
