New Shoes!

Yay! I have a new pair of shoes. Hehe. It's been a looooooong time since I last bought one - as in OFFICIALLY and EXPENSIVELY bought one. teehee~ Well, it's about time since my black pumps are already dying. huhu. I loved that shoe so before it totally disintegrates, I'm giving it a temporary rest. I’m actually trying to look for the exact same design. I hope I can still get one like it. Haiz.

I LOVE shoes! It’s one of my hobbies actually. Lol. I find, buy and collect as much as possible and as much as I can afford. Hahaha. You see, I’m a frugal person, but when it comes to shoes I can go way over budget (as long as it’s worth it and after I’ve thought about it for a very loooong time. Lol). I don’t normally spend too much on clothes. I have a certain price range and I’d have to contemplate very hard before I decide to break it. But I normally don’t. (OC-ness.Lol).


I’m already tall at 5'6"(and probably look taller because I mind my posture well when I'm standing or walking) but I still like going for high-heels. When I had been a house-buddy, I opted to collect flats but since I’m back to the work force, I’m also back to high heels. Hehe. Although, it’s a bit sad I can’t get to wear my other shoes to work because corporate require black only. I have boots and more colorful shoes that go with attires in my closet. When I’m in malls, I normally hang around the shoe department – looking for new styles and possible targets for upcoming payday expense. Lol.

Here are photos of my new shoes. I bought it from Janylin in Glorietta. I measured the heels, it's 4 inches - almost. HA-HA.

mood: excited for clyte's b-day celeb later. hihi.

UP Diliman Fun Shoot 08.30.09

In relation to my previous post (actually this is the pre-quel of it), we had a fun shoot in UP Diliman last August 30 with my cosplay friend Kat Escolar and her photog friend Marlene Hsu. It was Kat's idea because as she had blogged about it, her boyfriend was requesting for photos of her. And since Mars was here to visit, she scheduled a photoshoot and just invited me.

I'm no model (I'm not that pretty to be one. nyahaha). I just like pictures and dressing up , i guess. I'm a photo enthusiast also and as most people describe me, uber kikay and partly narcissistic. LOL. And since I'm into cosplay right now, maybe I just wanted to have fun and grab the oppurtunity to have good pictures while there's an oppurtunity for it.

It was a fun shoot. At first we were thinking of a theme and I thought I wanted to use those items I have bought from a thrift shop. Yup, ukay-ukay in short. And lately, I am in the knack of acquiring animal-printed pieces. LOL. (I love cats so it also applies to big ones such as lions, tigers, jaguars and leopards. Hehe.) I have a fur coat and a silk skirt, which I turned into a dress instead (Ingenuity.hehe). I'm creative and people have complimented my ability to pick out interesting and quite good stuff from the thrift shop which doesn't really look it came from there. I guess, it also helps that I have a weird sense about fashion and that most people wouldn't really have the guts to wear those kind of stuff (which is actually much better for me because then I wouldn't have too much competition around). I often ask people how much they think stuff that I wear cost and they're quite amaze when I tell them and where I got them. I normally roam around the Metro and go in ukayans I pass by just to see if there's anything that would entice me to buy. What I often look for in thrift shops are:

(1) jackets - I LOVE jackets! All my jackets and coats come from UK;

(2) skirts - I LOVE skirts! It's my staple wear. I don't wear jeans too much - only in special occassions.haha. (Shouldn't it be the other way around? LOL). I don't know. I'm just more comfortable in skirts - not that I also have the legs to boot - woot! That is why I really liked our uniform because it's skirt. I'd rather wear skirts than slacks for office; and

(3) boots - I LOVE boots! (did you just notice that I had the same reactions for all 3 items?LOL.) - I've always loved shoes and I don't really care if the Philippines is a tropical country. When there's an oppurtunity to wear boots I wear them. I normally use them during gimiks and other parties and often, people have complimented me for wearing one. Although, boots are now growing in popularity and more and more people are wearing them nowadays. hehe.

Anyways, I've deviated from the subject of this blog (nyahahaha) and most probably I would just have to write another entry about my fashion preferences. Haha. In the end, we just decided to bring anything and everything we can. LOL.

And voila! Here are some of the photos that Mars has already given us.

More photos can be found HERE or HERE.
