NY Times: Sometimes, It's Not You by Sara Eckel →
A story on dating and marriage after the age of 35.
Remembered the days I was a bitter single lady. I still am at heart, especially when I see how beautiful my friends are and when I realize how many guys are missing out on them!
My solace came from the place where single women usually find it: my other single friends. We would gather on weekend nights, swapping funny and tragic stories of our...

50 Rules for Dads of Daughters →
A must read for both daddies and daughters.
My favorites are:
Always be there. Quality time doesn’t happen without quantity time. Hang out together for no other reason than just to be in each other’s presence. Be genuinely interested in the things that interest her. She needs her dad to be involved in her life at every stage. Don’t just sit idly by while she add years to her… add life to her...

look: cream, gold, & leopard
I’m actually more into beauty than fashion, which is why I found it hard to keep up with fashion blogging. Good, appropriate makeup completes any look; and sometimes, you can actually look stellar in a loose white shirt tucked inside your best-fitting jeans with bright eyes, full lashes, and hot pink lipstick. In line with this, I’ve decided to randomly post makeup looks and reviews...

The power of secret crushes.
“There is a lovely security in a secret crush: you get to imagine all of the good things that can come of love without having to put yourself out there and risk rejection. It is all rainbows and butterflies and dreamy soundtracks and perfectly executed daydream makeout sessions, all from the safety of your own mind.”

sweet simplicities
I surprised my boyfriend last night with his happy food — bibimbap from Hanayo, a Korean restaurant along the UST area. A and I almost never meet, even halfway, when it comes to food choices and we end up ordering something the other isn’t very fond of. Therefore, I figured I had much to work on in terms of him associating me with his concept of good food.
A is actually someone...

what made your saturday?
Yesterday, a 17-year-old with the height and body of a Victoria’s Secret model watched my VTR and said she loved how I delivered so confidently!
Haven’t been trying out for commercials in a long time and knowing this girl who would be all over TV soon appreciated this 5-foot-3 plain Jane definitely made my day.

christmas mass + lovely shoes
Before going to my uncle’s house for Christmas Eve, my family first heard mass celebrated by a renowned bishop. We decided to dress up since our Christmas mass is anyway extra special all the time and this was what I managed to put together in 5 minutes.
I found it extra hard to pick a dress that would match my new Alexa shoes from Gold Dot, which was my Christmas gift for myself. Ended...

coffee + vintage shades
Wore this with my flashy silver sneakers (will write something about that soon):
Top from Stylebreak, denim capris by Denim Spice, mismatched with a belt from one of my very old skirts. The Kenneth Cole watch I’m wearing is actually 10 years old; my tita gave it to me for my elementary school graduation.
What I love about this shirt from Stylebreak is that it’s very comfortable and...
