What Would 'Eye' Wear?
I was watching the movie “This Means
War” and saw this scene with Reese Witherspoon entering the office and I noticed her eye wear. I just loved it! It’s not too thick, it had design and she still looks classy
and stylish.
I’m wondering how some people wear those big eyeglasses without
looking nerdy. Even famous celebrities are sporting that look but they still look fabulous.

I’ve been wearing my normal red eye glasses since my old one got broken and I
think it's making me look older or geeky. (Teacher Mgx?)

I know I can buy contact lenses but
eye glasses seems more practical and convenient especially being in front of the monitor the
whole day. I want to try those big nerdy eye glasses since it's quite big to cover the entire eye area and it looks really comfortable to wear. Do you think I could pull it off or will it make me look worse? =P

The Lover's Dictionary
All my plans got cancelled today due to continuous rain and flooded areas. This allowed me to finally finish this book which I just discovered this week through a list of best sellers I found online. It's not a typical love story told in chronological order but it's a dictionary with a twist. It was a light and enjoyable read that will put you in different moods.
At first I thought it was a dictionary for terms that are used when talking about relationships and love but surprisingly, they were words that were interpreted based on the experiences of the speaker. Somehow the words are like puzzle pieces that reveal the speaker's love story. It was not in specific order and more like the speaker is telling his story based on specific and random moments from his love life. I had a lot of favorite lines and I would like to share some with you:
Note: These are only SOME of my favorite lines. If I would highlight all my favorite lines, the book would end up looking like a coloring book. =P
These lines made me love the feeling of being in love. Also, I think the author was able to put in words some hard to explain emotions or thoughts. It feels as if I'm part of the story because there were instances that made me relate to what he was telling or feeling and sometimes I feel like I'm the other person he was talking to. This book isn't really a reference book but a love story unraveled slowly by the speaker's random memories of the past. It's emotional and romantic but it's not heavy drama. His story isn't the fairy tale type but I would say it's more realistic. He's the typical guy who goes madly in love and experiences the ups and downs of being in a relationship. There were also moments that would crack you up:
macabre, adj.
If you ever need proof that I love you, the fact that I allowed you to dress
me up as a dead baby Jesus for Halloween should do it. Although I suppose it
would be even better proof if it hadn’t been Halloween.
Whether you're in a relationship or not, I think this book is a must read. It will make you say "awwww" and some lines will make your heart break (especially if you can relate to it). I loved how David Levithan soulfully expressed how he felt at that time and how cleverly found words that would somehow summarize that moment. I highly recommend this to everyone including my guy friends. Unfortunately, I believe this book is for adults only. (Sorry tweens!)

Young at Heart
It was my friend's 30th birthday celebration with a cartoon character theme. Since I didn't have any costume ready, I just made use of borrowed and some owned resources to create my look.
I decided to go as Minnie Mouse since it's one of the easiest characters to dress up as =)
To get the look, you would need:
A Minnie Mouse headband from Disneyland HK (borrowed from Bessy)
A Black Blouse (own)
A red and white polka dot skirt.
A red and white polka dot skirt.
But since it's hard to find one, I just improvised. =) From a plain red skirt which I bought for P100 from ukay, I added white dots by using masking tape. I used a drilling gauge to draw circles and I cut it out one by one. After the party I just have to remove the dots so I can use the skirt =P
White Socks and Doll Shoes
Minnie mouse wore yellow shoes but I just put on doll shoes to get a childish look haha.
Minnie Me
With the birthday boy -- who looks 18
With Annie/Goldilocks
With other kids at heart
The night was filled with super naughty and super fun games. I was laughing so hard because the hosts (including the celebrant) were hilarious! Too bad I left early and I missed a lot of funny moments.
Lucky for Chris, he does not look 30. I think his jolly personality sustains his high energy and that subtracts the years from his real age. I guess the true secret to look and feel young is by being happy. You would no longer need beauty creams nor plastic surgeries just to keep your youthful glow. A happy heart would truly reveal itself with how a person looks. It’s a natural anti-aging treatment which is really effective. Happiness doesn’t stop the age but it could slow the process of aging. So stay happy and don’t count the years =P
Happy Birthday Chris =)

A Birthday Room Raid
My best friend celebrated her birthday last weekend and we decided to have a "slumber date" (a slumber party with just the 2 of us haha). It felt like we were in high school again and we had so much fun catching up. Words are not enough to describe this fabulous woman so I decided to raid her room and took snap shots of her favorite stuff.
Her green Zara pumps.
Her majestic ring.
The kikay who's loyal to Mac.
Ms. Workaholic
Call Me Maybe? =P
Her bright and colorful wardrobe
Prints galore - animal, aztec, cosmic and floral
Bling Blings
Killer Shoes
From her stuff you can already see her fun and lively personality. But her real identity is not revealed in her shoes nor in her bag but in her BIG BIG heart. I Love You Bessy =) Happy Birthday =)

Do the Denim
Lately, I've been spotting A-list celebrities wearing denim shirts. They all look fabulous and at the same time it looked really comfortable. It's very versatile as you can make it really girly or make it look rugged. I believe it's a must-have item for every girl.

| Rachel Bilson and Hilary Duff |
| Pins and Needles Tie-Front Chambray Top $ 49 |
 |
| Rails Jayden Buttondown Denim Shirt with Collar Tips $127 |
I'm now in search for the perfect denim top. Not too big nor too small. Just with the right fit to easily match it with leggings, shorts or skirts. Hopefully I could find one with the right shade (not too faded) and with the right texture and thickness so I can still wear it with the humid weather. I also hope it would not be too expensive =P
Love it or hate it? Share your comments!=)
