Bring back the sewing days

I know I have been constantly telling myself to update this blog, but forgive me for the nth time because life is really hard right now. T_T

As you all know, my practicum basically takes all of my time. I do have free hours, but I use them for sleeping, resting and all those catching up with friends and family. It's really depressing that I have no more time for you dear bloggy. I shall go kill myself now. X_x But since killing is just an expression, let me update you on the latest happenings. 

Aside from the usual practicum rants, I recently went to a shopping trip. Yay to me! I conquered the Super Sale Bazaar once again! I must say that they have upgraded to a step higher than last year. It was awesome, that my heelless feet died. 

So on to my buys! I recently been so in love with anything...

SHEER

CUT-OUT

 and COLLARED;

so my bucket list involved those. Well, they're obviously trending so we could bring that on account.

But here goes my realization about bazaars...

Keeping in mind that I have a tight budget made me let go of the other clothes exceeding PHP500. I had to search for more 'cheap but still hugs my taste' finds. Though excitement made me when I scored a PHP300 top. Thinking it was a steal when I realized... that the ribbon was not centered, and the sleeves does not have a clean sew. Imagine my dismay once I saw that this morning.

You could never really trust the things you buy from bazaars because usually they are just sewed in an abrupt way, but I could never say that I will ban my love for bazaar shopping. I do have a fault to not check the clothes before buying, but sometimes making mistakes also makes it better...

Since I can't exchange the top back to its store, there goes my sewing skills! Thank you to my Home Economics teacher when I was in grade school, Ms. Sombilon (she's unforgettable, I know). I could have thrown my new top if it weren't for her. Thus, I learned to appreciate those grade school days more.

More bazaars, and more sewing soon (?). LOL I'm actually thinking of getting a sewing machine and try my luck on making clothes. Yes?

Look what Violin got me thinking.

Hi earthlings! I realized I have been blogging so much this past few days and it makes me happy because that means I always have something to going on. ;) But this time around, let me tell you that I have no particular event to share to you. I just thought that may be when I face the blogger-new-post-screen I would be able to produce sensible thoughts to write about. So here I go. Hmm.. This morning, I managed to finish the book that took me ages to finish. FINALLY. You'll probably wondering what took me so long and what this book is. So here it is. Violin by Anne Rice, that I managed to borrow from my friend, Patt (Hi Patt, if you're reading this, I'll be able to give this back to you, finally!). I borrowed it from Patt several months ago (I know, that long!) because I got curious. Let's just say, it's also a literature experiment for me. But seeing my progress in reading this book.. I ain't happy with it. Thus made me conclude literary genres li

what's in my bag... for real

what's in my bag (taken with instagram) left to right:  Umbrella (Grosser Schatten)- You could call me umbrella girl scout, because I always have this handy with me; rain or shine, I have this under my skin. Always keep in mind that quality is better than quantity. If I were you, buy the most expensive umbrella (at least 500), for the quality will stick with you until the end. I have this umbrella for 2 years already. Northanger Abbey (Jane Austen)- I remember my enthusiasm once I bought this book because the price of the book was less than 100. Oh the perks of a classic! But the downside to it, was the sardines font and the old English text that made my mind relaps after reading for some quite time. I don't remember the time when I started reading the book, but I had to say that it's taking me a long while because of all the old English texts. Nonetheless, I love reading hard to decipher books rather than teeny weeny easy ones. Alcohol (Hygenix)- You'l

Make-up Stash

I don't know what got me today but I suddenly had an urge to fix my make-up stash (not that it's many). I will surely say that I maintain just the right amount of make-up that I know I could use until the end. I would not definitely buy new ones if I know there's a lot more in my stash, not unless I got it in a cheaper price = SALE or it's already expired. ;) Anyway, since we're at it, I tried coloring my face again with eye shadows that I don't normally use during the day. I usually do this during the times that I'm bored. lol Honestly, I don't even know how to put eye shadow in its right way. I just treat it as an eyeliner, thus the color I placed in my eye, is just near my eye lashes. If only someone could teach me. ;) And of course, with that experimenting or whatever, I would never fail to be vain. Eye bags, please disappear. lalalala ;)
