Look for Less: Fringed Waistcoat

I went to the newly opened Forever 21 in SM Makati and came across this cute fringed waistcoat. I was a bit hesitant to get it. It was Php 1,275 and kind of limited to summer but I was amazed by the fringe and design - I'm a sucker for design. So I bought it even if I was carrying a stack of magazines and it was hard to juggle my bag, lunch bag and magazines plus my purchase. It was also the last piece - so there's no turning back for me.

The lighting sucks but you can still see the detail in the front

Back view is also fantastic - worried a bit about the durability since it can easily snag something

Then a week later while browsing, I happen to see a similar looking fringed waistcoat in cream- in Topshop this time and at thrice the price! Item is also out of stock online.

Well, I was really quite surprised to see it in Topshop. Well at least my apprehension on the cost per wear is a bit tempered down.

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Around Manila: Exploring the streets of J.P. Rizal in Marikina

It is funny how we know the history and culture of a land we do not live in yet know so little about where we live. Thus, began our mission to explore Manila, one city at a time. DESTINATION: Marikina Starting Time: 11am End Time: 5pm How to get to J.P. Rizal in Marikina - Waze (app) and Google Maps Marikeno (native people in Marikina) are said to be the most disciplined people in the Philippines. If the cleanliness around Marikina were a testament to that, Marikenos would pass with flying colors. The streets I could say were similar to those in Singapore - free from litter and we saw people from households cleaning their own front area even if it were facing a street. SHOE CAPITAL of the Philippines Marikina produces 70% of the shoes in the country. and holds the World's Largest Pair of Shoes, recognized by the Guinness World Records.
