Adjustments

I have to accept the fact that I will never get my size 1 (or at least size 2) body back ever in this lifetime. It's been more than 2 years that I've been wearing sizes 8-10 dresses. Unless I can do something (invasive, perhaps) with this motherhood acquired bone structure, I can wear those old outfits back.
I just can't seem to let go of my old clothes. So I tried to alter and make them a little bigger. I ripped the stitches of the pleats to make the garment wider and stitched them again. And it worked perfectly. I can now wear (and breathe easily while wearing) them again.

Regal

If I were to be a royalty for a day, I would choose to be Queen Rania of Jordan or Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge. It is not really their roles and titles I wish for but their beauty and class. (Their duties and responsibilities as royalties are too much for me to handle... I'd rather be a "commoner".) Their style are so simple yet glamorous, modest and timeless --- always so regal.

Revamp

A few more weeks and I’ll be seeing my sweetie again. He’s been away for 2 years, minus the 10 days vacation we got to spend together last year. We’ve been grateful for skype , oovoo and our laptops/PC, at least we had the chance to make unlimited videocalls to survive this long distance relationship. However, for the past weeks we were limited to just voicecalls since videocalls via PSP is not yet available. He had to dispose the desktop PC to lessen shipping expenses before he leaves his accommodation of 2 years

I wonder how he looks like now… hmmm?!?

I thought of getting myself a makeover -- a look that will make him fall in love with me all over again. Since he hasn’t seen me in awhile, this is my chance to reinvent myself, just a little coz whatever I look like a few weeks from now will definitely “whoa!” him.

Best Things In Life Are Free... Really

Don't you just love it when you don't have to pay a single cent for something?! Wishing it will be like this for the rest of my life. Oh, im just wishing. It just MIGHT come true.

Thank you Victoria's Secret for my new undies. :)

my feet hurts

My sisters & I were told that you have to wear everything new for the new year. from your undies, clothes and even shoes to attract good fortune for the coming year. It will only depend on the year (see Chinese calendar or Feng shui) what color will bring you luck. Even though we are not Chinese, we follow this rule, not really for the good fortune it will bring but for the new stuff we'll get. hahaha. we just need an excuse to buy new stuff despite of the down sloping economic situation (i think!) everyone is going through.

Good thing there are a lot of sales and bargains during this time of the year. To think that we need to get two sets of everything since there's two new years that we have to celebrate, the one non-Chinese follow (Jan 1) and the one Chinese's and trying to be Chinese' New Year (Jan 26), we need to spend our money wisely. We are just going crazy moving about searching for the perfect footwear, getting that fabulous dress and that perfectly fitting undies within our budget. It's kinda hard for us to get all of those since our frame is smaller that the one-size-fits-all outfits. hehehe. my feet hurts a lot of times during this shopping spree cause i think my shoes don't have this arches that lessens the pressure on the soles of your feet. (I choose aesthetics over function most of the time, my bad.) or we just spend so much time buying and shopping. hehehe. I should just try shopping online, I guess. Oh, I think i should get my dad one too. he has no time shopping for his own boots. he needs something good for his overly worked feet.
