The Future of Shopping

I would really like to have this for Christmas!

I'm in love...

... with cardigans!

I've been in love with them since I had my first one. I got it back in high school, it was given to me by my maternal grandmother. It was so pretty that my mom and I shared it, we took turns wearing it! And up to now, I'm still addicted to cardigans, not just cardigans but to jackets in general. It's not like I get cold easily because I live in Manila where the temperature gets hotter than a sauna sometimes. Its just that cardigans/jackets add oomph to a really boring outfit! And I can just wear a plain tank top to work, granting that I have a cardigan on. It can turn a very casual outfit to something, business-y, and it can also turn a formal/cocktail dress to something casual! 

Cardigans are very versatile! So, to prove a point I made these looks from looklet.com. Honestly, I wasn't thinking of proving a point while making these looks, I just needed something to do to kill time. ☺

Anyway, here are the 3 looks I made using the trusty cardigan that I love.

A sparkly skirt and top is toned down by the cardigan to make it look casual, you can wear it to work or to the mall, then if you want to have a few drinks at a bar near the office just take off the cardigan and you're good to go!

You can getaway wearing a tank top to the office with a cardigan on. I use this trick when I can't think of anything to wear. I just put on a top, skinny jeans and cardigan and voila you have a smart casual look!

And the last look, you can wear it to a weekend getaway! Admit it, the outfit is just not complete without the cardigan, right?

So there you go... these are just some of the reasons why I love cardigans!

World Teachers' Day

Today is world teachers' day. I just wanted to take time to thank all the teachers in the world. They say that teaching is the noblest profession, and I 100% agree to that. Teachers are behind all professions, there will be no doctors, lawyers, engineers and other professionals if it weren't for them. They are our second parents, often times, kids, especially kindergartens and primary schoolers believe everything what their teachers say more than their parents. Teachers are a big factor to who or what we all become.

I can still remember all of my teachers, except maybe for my teacher in kindergarten since I only went for a couple of days or so. My mom said that I "quit" kindergarten because I said the lessons are just so easy and "paulit-ulit" or were done repeatedly which was for the benefit of the slow learners (sorry, I just can't find the right word to describe) which I didn't  know back then.

My favorite teachers were:

• Mrs. Zenaida Sayson, we call her Ma'am Zenny she was my teacher in first grade. She was just so sweet to everyone in my class and she always find ways to keep the class alert and happy.
• Ms. Judith Lagoy, she was our substitute teacher in grade 4. She was a fresh grad, very pretty and very full of energy.
• Ms. Derbie Geronimo and Ms. Fe Jandugan, our Science teachers in high school, they were the not-so-friendly teachers, my classmates would all agree to that but I still love them. Maybe because Science is one of my favorite subjects and I really learned a lot from the two of them.
• Mrs. Ludivina Salazar, she's my English teacher in HS, and my class adviser for 2 consecutive years (2nd and 3rd year), she was literally our "Mother of Perpetual Help", she was always there for us, her students, even when we were almost disowned by our school because our batch was the worst (their word) ever.
• Ms. Filsie Bualan, our PEHM teacher. She was pretty and very cool, and she has the prettiest hands! She's also a very good listener, she listens to all my rantings and musings. Until now we still talk to each other every once in a while.
• And I was in love with so many of my college professors, I can't name them here one by one because I love almost all of them except for 5, I think. About those 5, I don't hate them personally I just hate the courses that they were teaching, especially the very scary Math subjects!

And I will never forget the teachers in my family, my maternal grandparents are both retired public school teachers, my aunt Ida and my mom who are public school teachers. 

This blog entry is not even possible without you teachers out there. So to all the teachers in the world happy teachers' day to all of you. We owe you a lot!!!

Lost In Space and Everything Else

I posted this entry 5 years ago here : I'm posting this now because it describes exactly what I'm feeling now.

 This has been going on for the last couple of weeks. I felt like a zombie, hollow inside and been trying to drown myself with all the noise around me. I party hard just to forget this thing and it sucks! My system craves for wine and beer hoping it will dilute whatever trace of boredom and depression I had in me but to no avail. I felt like a miniscule particle floating in this god forsaken space with no direction and been bumping around on many obstacles that scar my already jaded mind. Ha! If it’s a fact of life that end with a K then it really sucks!
