Gone to soon.

R.I.P.

I just saw yesterday THE ONE pair I've lusted over for months and now it's gone.

No more Delicious Dream Ankle Boots (yummy name eh?) for me. :(

I'm Back!

I'm back from being MIA for a looooong time.

Quick recap of 'whachapening/wahchapend' (as my friend would usually say) :)

• I reviewed (for the nth time) for my much anticipated and long overdue NCLEX exam for the whole month of August (...so that explains why I was MIA in my "little" store)


• I took the exam and surprisingly nailed it (to think I was the first one that day to take the afternoon exam AND I ended with the minimum number of questions which is 75), thank you Father God and Mama Mary. :)


• So I am now a proud BSN, RN (soon MAN,DrPH I'm gonna beat you dean.haha!) :)


• I went to celebrate by coming out with my comeback collection for September which was almost sold out in just 3 days (5 items left I think, out of 40).


• QTube (Qtv channel) did a feature on me,well my store actually. Thanks again for the feature! They obviously loved the house and all my wares. They couldn't believe it was all vintage. Their producer (so sorry I forgot your name!) even said, "Siguro nakuha mo sa parents mo yung hilig mo sa vintage. Mahilig kasi sila sa antique...(while looking around our Mediterranean/Modern Filipino style house)". Thank you,Sir. :)


• Just last weekend I came out with my la primera collection of 8 dresses (I couldn't resist the other two dresses.teehee) and had them auctioned off!


• I finally found THE ONE! Oh yes, that one pair of ankle boots I have been lusting over for months. Too bad when I went back to Janylin and Maldita, they don't have my size anymore. I had an inkling this afternoon to just check cutesygirl.com. Lo and behold, I found these babies! I JUST HAVE TO GET THEM! (They only have a size 6.5 though.I guess that won't hurt a size 6, right?)

That's it,pansit!

I just observed something. My week starts every Thursday! Coincidence I guess.

I read Paulo Coelho's (my personal life-coach just so you know) Like A Flowing River last night because I've been feeling a little under the weather lately. Let me share you some of the lines that really struck me...

...In our solitary bicycle race, we must behave as if time existed and do everything we can to value each second, to rest when necessary, but to keep cycling towards the divine light, and not to be put off by any moments of anxiety.

As I closed the book, I let out a sigh.

Let Go and let God.

Mind over Matter.

I was confined to my bed for almost half of the week because of influenza (it's not the swine kind, mind you). But come Friday, I had to fight off fever and the horrible cough all for the love of TRANSFORMERS (I can not miss the movie!!). I now have a girl-crush over Megan Fox. I refuse to go into self-quarantine (as advised by my mother) because I still have to take pictures of the fabulous clothes I'll be selling online (which I must say are some of the best I had so far)!

What made my week?

All The Frou Frou

To the girl/girls behind All The Frou Frou, thank you for the lovely review!

What's up?

Blue top: Thrifted; Denim shorts: BKK; Brown belt and bag from Sam; TOPSHOP black shoes
I'm down with the flu (?). I hope it's not H1N1 (Who's scared of it anyway?). A trip to the supermarket plus the uber hot and humid weather last Sunday gave me 3 sneezes and a pseudo-allergy. Say hello to cough and colds.
I had to go to La Salle yesterday to get the documents just to find out that I requested the wrong docs (hindi naman kasi nila sinabi na magkaiba pala yung RLE sa RLE with grades which I may add, not printed on the request slip. You have to ASK them to include that). So after my one hour trip from Alabang to Dasma and back, I knew C&C will stall me this week. I was supposed to go "jobhunting" (parang 'pating-hunting' lang) but because (again, may I quote a friend who wrote) "Sa panahon ngayon mas okay pa ang umutot kesa umubo or suminga", I decided to stay in.
As "oc-oc" as I can be, I checked my planner and darn, its' empty. I can't do anything unless I'm well and there's no sign of (tenacious..excuse my language) secretions. I'm itching to pass resumes and bust my a** into the real world BUT reality bites, I'm not yet fit to do so. If overdosing myself with 3 tabs of FERN-C wont help in boosting my immunity then maybe confining myself in a "homemade bubble" will. Okay, I haven't devised that but I'm working on it.
I've enjoyed almost a year of being a "household staple" (BUM is a harsh word) already! I've given away so many oppurtunities (yes, I was that stupid) but now I'm ready to get it back (ha-ha. WATCH ME--->from Dawn Z's new ad).

Looks in shuffle mode.

I'm inspired.

Must have:

-classic black blazer

-ripped jeans (DIY)

-floral dress (must call my seamstress)

Awake.

Hello!

It's been ages since I last blogged.

Here's a quick update!

1. My review for the foreign licensure wrapped up last May, that means it's all up to me now!

2. I finally set foot on BKK! I would definitely make this an annual thing. After burning my (dad's..teehee) pockets and filling out 1 extra suitcase of clothes, I think I'm done with shopping for the next couple of weeks.

3. I'm excited to start jobhunting! I know I'm a year late for this but hey, a girl need a much needed break right?

4. My online store is doing sooo well I can't get any more excited to go on thrift-shopping!

5. Totally addicted to lookbook.nu now...;)
