Zalora: Ylla Laura Black Ballet Shoes

By on May 9, 2012

My mom and I was supposed to buy shoes for me to use since a pair of my black doll shoes were unfortunately included to the trash and the other one I was using when I met with her is already damaged. We did get to look around but there’s nothing that fits me. In the end she’s the one who got to bought home a pair :))

Anyway, since she cancelled our scheduled plans last Sunday, I thought of buying one online so that I can still go out and apply for jobs.

Yet another package that came in the mail today! It was delivered by the same LBC personnel from yesterday 🙂

Honestly, I was worried while placing the order because it’s my first time to buy a pair of shoes without actually fitting it. I’m on the plus size side and I definitely had to rely on my size in centimeters. I am so relieved that it fits me well and very much happy that the insoles are comfy.

Cute little accents ♥

It came with a shoe bag too (see first photo), though it isn’t waterproof. I’m just a little worried about the shoe itself when it rains, because of the other material of the shoe. Or not, since I’m planning to buy another pair as an alternative.

I bought this from Zalora and paid via Paypal also. It was for sale at P760 and shipping was free. They also have a 30-day free replacement policy, which makes me want to buy from them again in the future. Package was processed using Xend but they route to it LBC for provincial deliveries (funny, Antipolo doesn’t look provincial to me anymore lol).

Two down, one more to go. Can’t wait for it 🙂

Random Pseudo-Photowalk of the Uninspired (and Hungry)

By on May 1, 2012

I’ve been staying at home for the past couple of days, since I don’t go beyond my ten-minute immediate places to go to. It feels like forever and I’m very uninspired at the moment. Since I’ve been looking over the garage sale with my grandma since Saturday (there were people already buying that day since the items are organized already), I took a little walk around the village.

One of the small toys my Uncle bought home one day. Will try my hand on Toy Photography hmm..
Random pink flower on the street.
Random white flower with the pink one on the same bush?
Had to enhance this a couple of times using Photoscape since the tree part was very dark on the original photo :/

I ended my little walk with..

Fishball, Chicken Ball and Kikiam :3

Oh! First day of May and it rained! 😀

Still hung up? Accept, forgive, move on. Pray.

By on April 20, 2012

I was so desperate for him to love me, to want me, to fight for me that I was literally grateful for any mere scrap of effort. I’d made so many excuses for his inability to treat me well that even the smallest gesture was amplified in my head.

Did I hit a spot?

Most people are able to relate to this quote.

If you are OR were a martyr in love, I’m 101% sure you’ve been in this situation and like everywhere else, you’re coined as someone stupid or desperate.

My Dream Work Space #1

By on April 11, 2012

One of the factors that affect our productivity is our work place. Whether as a student or a professional, we aim to be in an environment where our imagination and creativity is heightened, a place we are comfortable to stay even in long hours and a space that clearly spells “This is me!”.

It is not all the time we get to choose where we work or decorate it. Freelancers and virtual assistants do get to choose though.

Being location-independent, here’s one of my dream set-up:

Looks very productive for writing. A great view, the calmness of the sea, the weather. Perfect ♥

Lots more of these coming. What’s yours? 🙂

Every Office Girl’s Dilemma: Smart Casual

By on April 4, 2012

I got into looking for clothes to pin up on one of my Pinterest boards. I suddenly remembered that next week will be the earliest time for one of my plans to be put in motion and I don’t have proper clothes for it.

I honestly don’t have the budget to go shopping now, since I haven’t been paid yet for any of my projects. Hopefully either I get money next week and buy some essentials or the start date gets rescheduled or another plan pushes through.

Me, shopping? Surprise, surprise! My friends know me getting most of my clothes hands-me-down (ala Harry Potter). I do buy some rarely and alone. :))

See the styles I’m aiming for, smart casual ones that are suitable for tropical weather (with little alterations considering my size :3):

Hello 22! -Part 1- :)

By on April 2, 2012

Late post again. This time it’s about my birthday!

I passed by Ms. Ryne’s office before I fetched Ate Bernz (who was insisting that we have dinner together since I cancelled the overnight bonding a day before). We went around the mall to eat snacks and play at Timezone. Dropped by her house a bit to get stuff then went grocery shopping (since I pushed through the event last minute).
