clear as vodka

i do go out at night. if my friends beckon, i come out of my pj’s and dress up for the weekend. nothing really to celebrate but just old friends seeing other after months overtaken by our busy lives. drinks of the night: tanduay ice + soju, vodka + sprite, smirnoff + sprite. you can guess what happened afterwards..haha!

on a more serious note, i’m really having a dilemma with a friend. how do you tell a friend your opinion of something that might hurt her? i know i should be honest about it to her as i’ve always told her my opinions but she might take it negatively. will have to gather enough courage to do so. wish me luck!

ps. the beige top is supposed to be worn with the ribbons tied. but i firgure, i’m out so might as well be comfortable and casual.

happy polka new year!

my polka dots may seem cliche for new year’s but not for the superstitious and those who love polka. they say that polka dots or round things on new year mean you get more cash for the year…*crossing my fingers* it’s my 3rd year wearing polka for new year’s eve (see photos below)…and so far, i’m loving it.

it’s the first new year’s eve not spent with my family and although i’m crushed as are all my agents, we did try to make the most out of it. we brought food to the office and i bought them all horns to toot when the clock strikes 12. so we stood under the drizzle and screamed and tooted outside the building, looked at the fireworks from our windows when we got back to our floor and ate as much as we could. and now i’m home, eating chocolate cake while everyone is asleep. *sigh*

here are my past polka new year’s:

the people i grew up with

nothing beats the company of true friends. had our yearly christmas dinner with my elementary and high school friends — the friends i’ve grown up with. we call ourselves ‘thugs’ because we used to love bone thugs and harmony so much back in high school. it means, “trues humbly united gathering souls…” i know, i know our name sounds so gangsta and corny in a way…hahaha! but we stuck to it because that’s how we came together. we had our dinner at this cool tea house called “bubble bee” and they serve every tea flavor and asian dishes. their interiors are really cool too — with mis-matched sofas and lounges.

after some margarita with my ‘thugs’, harry and i went to vudu (one of cebu’s top bars) and partied with my sisters. vudu has this annual ‘invierno’ party where everyone should wear white. some friends there were teasing us about having a family day but what can we say, we do party together and we love our vodka too. welp, i don’t really remember what happened after the vodka so i’m stopping here…haha!

ps. my blue / polka tights is inspired by tieka in this post.

i really love this girl and always enjoy not just looking at her outfit posts but also reading her thoughts.

something comfortable

took the night off from work to prepare for my dizziness test at the balance, equilibrium and dizziness center. i thought the quality sleep (at night and not during the day) would make me feel better but i still felt dizzy when i woke up — like constantly being on a boat. i have my slow motion moments too. the test was quite expensive but i guess it’s worth it just as long as i’d finally know what’s wrong with me and they can give me treatment. i don’t like being to incapacitated especially since i used to be very athletic and can go on the whole day playing football. during the test, they made me follow several patterns of a laser-like red light and had me stare at a specific position while trying to avoid too much blinking. the hardest part was being sprayed on with cold then hot water on both my ears while i have to answer simple math questions — like 2+2 or 10 x 5, etc. it all the more confirms that i suck at division…and multiples of 6, 7 and 8…haha! it was quite embarrassing i tell you.

harry and i had pizza at jones brothers pizza co. right after and wolfed down about 5 slices. then went to ayala to window shop for my christmas wishlist. my sisters and i have a christmas tradition of telling each other our wishlists and buying those as gifts at a certain budget of course. now that we’re all working, the budget is slightly bigger. i know, i know it’s pathetic that we already know what we’re getting but the thought of opening lots of gifts on christmas still thrills us.
