CUBAO X PEEPS RUINED MY CHRISTMAS

The most unfortunate thing  happened last December 19 during  Holiday Madness Bazaar. My beloved Nikon D40, Toto was stolen.

I am writing about this just now because I'm still recovering from the trauma that I have experience that day.

So around 8:00 p.m. while we were busy entertaining customers, someone took my camera. I was talking to a "guy" customer asking about bags and dresses which I found a little fishy. Then I heard something fall on the ground. It was a lens cap. I was going to pick it up to give it to the guy and then I realized that it was my camera. I immediately ran after him and shouted "Guard, Guard! Camera ko! White T-shirt!"

Our booth was located at the latter part of Cubao Expo so it took him some time to approach the exit. By the time he comes near the exit, everyone heard me shouting. But to my dismay, no one tried to stop him! Not even one person! I followed him even outside Cubao Expo. But I decided to stop when I lost sight of him and realized I ran too far and it will be too dangerous to go on.

On my way back, I saw my friend who followed me. She was in tears. She was so worried that something might have happened to me. I might have been stabbed or something. Thank God I'm safe.

When we arrived back at Cubao Expo I was so furious because no one helped me. Not even one of the "so-called men" standing near the exit. Until now,  I cannot understand why they just stood there frozen. Maybe they don't have the balls for it, or they're stupid or they know that person who stole my camera and was trying to protect him.

And the "so-called guard" whose job is to protect us didn't do anything. When my friend asked him to accompany her because she wanted to make sure I was safe, he didn't move a muscle. Another one without the balls.

So to make the long story short, I was frustrated because I would have retrieved my camera from the 15 year old boy who I hope goes to jail or gets to know Jesus before he does more stealing stint. But the people of Cubao Expo, the community of Artists striving for a better Philippines did not nothing to protect one of their own. Well not really not one of their own. I almost joined the community, glad I was awaken by that incident.

If you are by anyway offended by this post, I don't really care. Leave a comment if you want. And after that let's trade places. Let's see how you'll feel.

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS: Feminine & Masculine

Some wardrobe updates.

I wore the military inspired look last, last Friday when we practiced for the Glitter Tattoo Application. Key pieces for this outfit, the military green polo, green aviators and the brown leather studded belt.

I got these boots last month but I got to wear them just now. I had the heel repaired first. By the way, this is from a Japanese brand.

 

This next outfit was worn during our breakfast date last, last Saturday. I also got the pink knitted top online. I love the cute details on the shoulders. My sister hates it though :) I paired it with my favorite lace-up pink heels, another online buy.

Happy 9 Part 2

As you all know, its our monthsary last Saturday. Unfortunately we weren't able to spend the whole day together. I needed to be with my family to clean our new house in Cainta and he needed to go to Muntinlupa to teach drum lessons and practice for the worship service. Anyway, we managed to start the day together and grabbed a breakfast at Pancake House.

 

We had continental breakfast, choco marble waffle, brewed coffee and capuccino. I really enjoy eating here. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside :)

Here's my beau trying to gobble all the food :)

 And its all gone!

 

Glitter Love

So last weekend as part of our sideline, we did our Glitter Tattoo at the kid's party. Naturally, we had to practice so that we can deliver well. So last Friday we practiced applying Glitter Tattoo at Starbucks.

It was so cool. Haha. We all had glitter tattoo on our hand. :)

 

FASHION DIY: Chain Strap

Anyway last week, I went thrift-shopping. Yes, you're right. I wasn't able to meet my goal again. I was so stressed out that night that I had to put my mind on other things, hence thrift-shopping came in handy. Anyway, I got this super cute yellow sandals with zipper detail. I've been on the hand for yellow shoes and I loved the zipper detail so I went crazy and bought it right away without checking it for drastic damages.

So when I got home, I saw that the strap of the other shoe is gone. I was a bit sad but after contemplating about it I got so excited. So what did I do to change this misfortune? I changed the leather strap to ribbon and chains strap.

This was inspired by Lanvin's S/S 2010 Collection.
