Well, so much for trying to chronicle our wedding preparations.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When we blogged about our engagement and committed to documenting each step, clearly we weren't clued in on just how all-consuming planning a wedding could be. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With less than two months left, we're up to our ears in guest lists and invitations, props and outfits, lamb versus beef versus chicken, and the million other details to think about. So here is our cathartic blog entry, meant to give a semblance of an update to anyone who might be interested. Piece together this random series of pictures and try to guess what we're going for! Hopefully the event turns out more cohesive than this!</div>

After yet another lengthy absence from the blogosphere, we're called back into action for Rajo Laurel's second collection with Parisian. This time it was a lot more engaging for P because of the collaboration with SM men's shoe line, Milanos. Check out our thoughts and picks below!</div>

Got this really cute stretchy skirt at Landmark for a little over P200! The top is a find from a Hong Kong (I think) vintage store. It's made of a sheer fabric and has a smart contrast collar.<br />

P: What I'm especially proud of is that I tied the bow while driving to SMX haha. Anyway, I like this versatile blazer with soft shoulders, you can use it to dress up an outfit or dress it down, if you prefer. I took it straight from the office, rucked the sleeves and switched my slacks for the skinny jeans et voila!</div>

I rarely score items from D's thrifting trips but when we do pick up something, it's usually a keeper like this jacket. I like that it's got a relaxed fit so you don't look like a <i>suman</i> when the rest of your look is tighter or tapered. It's got a nice vintage feel too, with the plaid just peeking out from the inside lining and the corduroy collar.

<b><u>FRIDAY NIGHT-IN</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently, we've both taken to going to Barcino's for their tapas and sangria. We're not huge drinkers but their sangrias are irresistibly good. A few weekends ago, we decided to try our hand at making our own sangria without using a store-bought mix.</div>

There's a variety of fruits that you can add to your sangria but we chose to go with strawberries and pineapples. Some recipes also suggest peaches or raspberries. We didn't bother with fresh fruit but I don't think it makes a huge difference.</div>

A lot of sangria recipe resources online said that you don't need to use premium wine. In fact, most sites recommended using leftover/value-for money (read: cheap) wine. They did suggest using Cabernet, Merlot, or Shiraz. We got a random bottle from Pioneer Center's liquor section, along with a bottle of Tanduay Rum.</div>

Needless to say, it was a mellow night in as we sipped our sangrias and had a movie marathon. </div>The Shady Chronicles of P and Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08879231103218941920noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8581465107362289442.post-41483781717668166932012-07-21T23:57:00.002+08:002012-07-21T23:58:23.943+08:00Manila Adventures<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These things would have been amazing for trekking around European cities! They're awesome at handling the cobblestone streets. Anyone who's ever experienced walking more than a few kilometers, whether in Hong Kong, Paris or Divisoria, knows that aching legs and feet take away from the cultural/shopping experience. </div>

The good part is, you're not confined to your "chariot" for the whole tour, you can choose to explore further, like on top of these stone redoubts or "<i>baluartes</i>" along the Intramuros walls. Since you're accompanied by two guides, one stands guard over your stuff and the equipment.<br />

The White Knight chariot tour was a great way to get some culture and history while also getting some excitement. Our verdict? Growing up in Manila, the sights included were quite familiar from field trips and family outings. What White Knight does is provide a novel way of revisiting the old city.The major selling points of the tour are the "chariots" coupled with the fantastic customer service. If only we could get our hands on one of these two-wheeled babies, running errands would be so much more enjoyable.<br />
<br />
Unexpectedly, our adventure day didn't end there. Our wandering feet found their way back to the Manila Ocean Park to check out their newest exhibit, featuring these fascinating South American penguins.<br />

<b><u>FASHION</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we finally had a tour-free day, we put on our comfiest shoes and mentally prepared ourselves for the enormous shopping center that is Platinum Mall. Since we last visited (in 2010), new wholesale malls have popped up and it takes a lot of courage (especially for the males) to face the undertaking of exploring 6 floors++ of unadulterated fast fashion. All things trendy and cheap are right at your finger tips! </div>

Really couldn't be bothered to take proper photos but here's an example of how every nook and cranny is crammed with merchandise! Prepare your feet and your wallet for some major damage.</div>

Admittedly, the stuff tends to overlap from store to store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Challenge Number 1: Find the one that sells the item at the lowest price. Remember that the more you buy, the cheaper each piece becomes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Challenge Number 2: Look for the stores that sell unique pieces. This store sold tops customized with their own graphic prints!</div>

We both loved the fresh designs (which we didn't see anywhere else) and the quality of the fabrics. The saleslady demonstrated how the print on their shirts don't "crack" or fade even when the fabric is stretched!</div>

P: While Chatuchak is definitely an experience, Platinum is cool because you get the market prices and finds but combined with the comforts of airconditioning, benches and a food court. Not to say that I'm not completely wiped out after a trip but at least I'm not drenched in sweat.<br />
D: I think we were at the third floor by this time. At this point, we were tired to the bone so we were off to the food court to meet up with my brother and mom for some lunch.</div>

Here's us at the Suvarnabhumi Airport en route to Manila.<br />
So that's pretty much the bulk of our trip to Thailand! It's so frustrating to come home to Manila's massive end-of-season sale since we're both still recovering from the dent Bangkok left in our accounts. It's probably a good idea to stay away from the malls but let's see if that will actually happen.</div>

It was a hot, tiring morning after a red-eye flight but I guess we had to get a little bit of culture in to offset the real agenda of the trip: shopping! More on that soon!<br />

<b><u>FASHION</u></b><br />
So I finally broke my shoe shopping ban. Yep, I guess that didn't last very long but no surprise there. What did surprise P (and me) was the pair of shoes that cracked my resolve: a pair of sneakers!<br />
Now, I do love (most of the time, obsess over) a pair of heels, but I'm definitely not the kind of girl that shuns all flats ("Ew, I'd rather die than be caught wearing flats!"- so not me at all). I need them for work. I need them for travel since I refuse to schlep along cobble-stone streets in a pair of heels! I need them for trips to the supermarket. However, before this purchase, I have to admit that I only owned one pair of sneakers - Adidas trainers for the gym. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So what broke the ban? Well, I've been eyeing Superga sneakers for a while now and a pair of plain navy blue ones seemed ideal for my daily jaunts on the preschool playground. It's just that every time I passed a Superga store, I'd always think to myself that there's a pair of heels with my name on it somewhere else.</div>

Then one day, I spotted this ombre version in the children's department and what do you know? They were almost a thousand pesos cheaper than their adults' line! These are the times when I'm happy to have freakishly small feet!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So much more ideal than the navy blue pair. I can't believe I actually parted with some hard-earned cash for a pair of sneakers! The timing was perfect though because I needed a sturdy pair of walking shoes because it was time for us to hie off to Thailand for a holiday!</div>

Low maintenance is not a word I'd usually use to describe me, but when it comes to hair care, I have a bare-bones routine. I use any shampoo/conditioner that's available, I don't own a hair brush, don't blow dry, and I don't like shelling out too much for salon treatments (crossing my fingers that it's not TOO obvious). However, my mom bought a bottle of Vitress cuticle coat that I'd pull out whenever I didn't feel too lazy to add a little extra something to my routine.</div>

I love how it adds some semblance of order to my hair without making it look rebonded (no offense to anyone with rebonded hair). I like how it adds shine without taking away all of my disheveled-ness. The pleasant smell that lasts all day is a great bonus too!</div>

During a pretty rough work week (last week of the school year), I came home tired to the bone and instantly perked up at the sight of this on my bed. How cute is the logo of Ichigo Shoes?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been a fan of Ichigo for years now. Back in Ateneo, I used and abused several pairs from the brand as I schlepped from building to building. They withstood treks all over the large campus! I remember my brown suede sandals with tassels that I paired with EVERYTHING.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, when I started my first job (teaching Language Arts at my alma mater), I remember buying a few closed toe flats to go with my new "working girl" wardrobe. P would even go to the Ichigo stall for me in Greenhills because I would always worry that my size would run out. My cap-toe oxfords took me back and forth from classroom to faculty room with ease.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that I'm teaching preschoolers, I have no problem catching up with the little rugrats since my trusty flats allow me to run all over the place without missing a beat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what's the point of the summary of the last 6-7 years of my life? Ichigo has transitioned with me from short denim cut-offs and mini-dresses to more modest trousers and button-downs and back. They seem to operate with the fashion equation of current and eye-catching styles + price points that won't drain your wallets.</div>

I have no idea why Rosanna decided to junk this dress but hey, works for me! I had it altered since its length was super awkward (mid-shin) and the smocking at the back was all wonky. I love most things yellow and bright so this dress is definitely a keeper!</div>

Super in love with my new ankle boots! I've been wanting a rugged brown pair for the longest time and of course, Topshop knew exactly what I had in mind. I can't wait to get the leather scuffed up and gritty!</div>

For the past few weeks, I've rediscovered one of my elementary-school obsessions, thanks to this book which I found at Fully Booked.</div>

Friendship bracelets, who hasn't done 'em?! Back in school, we would all have one taped to the little cubby under our tables and you would see so many hands furiously knotting away as the math teacher lectured. I think I missed many key topics because of this addictive past time. The most skilled girls in the class would always get requests for the more complicated patterns and I'm sure the craft store in Galleria drummed up a lot of business at the time.</div>

Oh man, I'm kind of embarrassed to show this but what the heck. I even went as far as hording 11 of these crochet cotton thread balls (or whatever they're called)! Now, I'm completely hooked. I've actually safety-pinned one I was working on to my jacket and knotted while waiting for dinner at Bellini's. My family looked at me like I was crazy. I can't tell you how obsessed I am when it comes to coming up with color combinations and matching them with the different patterns!</div>

It's a good thing that I'm getting into this hobby again because my current accessory fixation is bracelets! At least this way I don't have to spend so much on buying arm candies and there's always a certain sense of fulfillment when you made it with your own two hands.</div>

The second show we watched during fashion week was for SM Ladies' Wear. It was another much-anticipated show and was quite well-attended. In fact, we even ran into <a href="http://www.aisaipac.com/" target="_blank">Aisa</a>, <a href="http://www.fashioneggplant.com/" target="_blank">Sarah</a>, <a href="http://www.anagonzales.com/" target="_blank">Ana</a>, and a ton of other bloggers who were all dressed to the nines. Here's my lazy post-preschool outfit!<br />

I bought this Topshop dress during one of the sales this year. It's not in a shape that I usually wear but I kind of gravitated toward it anyway. It's the combination of the magnified print and modest fit (balanced out with a slightly higher hemline courtesy of the seamstress).<br />

I didn't really bother with bold accessories since a) we were running late and b) the screaming florals seemed sufficient.<br />

Just threw on my favorite heels and grabbed my grandma's beautifully textured clutch and was out the door before P could even start complaining.<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b><br />
<b><u>THE SHOW</u></b><br />
It was a strong start with a showcase of Parisian shoes and bags. Aside from all the awesome products, I really loved all the PVC clothing they used to pull the entire segment together! I would love to get my hands on the plastic skirts and coats!<br />

More on Parisian in the next post!<br />
<br />
It was a great idea to compartmentalize the show based on fabric prints, outfit suitability (day/night wear), and just the general aesthetic of the clothes.<br />

<b><u>FASHION</u></b><br />
Last Tuesday, we attended The Ramp's Fall/Holiday show for Philippine Fashion Week. We usually love anything The Ramp comes up with so despite our full work days and the daunting prospect of the traffic situation (especially since it was Lady Gaga's concert), we hauled ass all the way to the end of EDSA.<br />

I like the combination of the brown tweed with the different shades and textures of blue. I was hoping to add a bit of flair with the floral pocket square and the pink collar.<br />

Awhile back, I spotted this overlap skirt from Zara that I really wanted but never got around to buying it. Luckily, I found one with the same shape and in an ever better print from Landmark for less than P1000! I snapped it up right away because I couldn't pass up on the chance to pair this tribal print with fun colors.<br />

D: True to their promise, The Ramp's show really did offer up a mixology of style. From paisley to zebra, rompers to midi skirts, and metallics to sheer, there was an outfit to suit every lifestyle occasion.<br />
P: What I really appreciate about The Ramp's menswear is that the clothes are very wearable while maintaining a bit of edge to keep your look from being too vanilla.</div>

After receiving a text message from our friend, Maina, inviting us to lunch at the Salcedo Market, we were all pumped up for a gastronomically exciting afternoon.</div>

If you haven't been to this open-air market, expect to find an assortment ranging from fresh seasonal produce and meat, ready-to-eat meals, desserts, and some random non-food items. It's an interesting mix as almost all continents' cuisines are represented.</div>

Absolutely delicious brownie pudding for only P150. It's got big brownie chunks immersed in a deliciously smooth flan. We couldn't resist grabbing this delectably sinful dessert.</div>

We loved their Pad Thai and Thai Milk Tea! The Pad Thai had a generous amount of shrimp and a very fresh flavor, not bland at all! The Thai Milk Tea really hit the spot on that hot summer day.</div>

We were drawn to this stall by the smells emanating off their hot pan. They serve shawarmas with a choice of lamb, chicken, or Wagyu beef.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Wagyu shawarma was well worth the 200 bucks we paid for it. The meat is a little fattier than normal beef, as expected, but it really bursts with juicy flavor. It's a fantastic upgrade to the ubiquitous wrap.</div>

Maina's Wagyu burger, with all the trimmings and almost oozing with the good stuff. Obviously, the market offers a lot specialty meats you can eat right at the center tables or to cook at home for Sunday lunch.</div>

My bros got me this sweet pair of shorts from their trip to Australia. It sits perfectly at home in that zone between the beach and urban schlepping. I will be overusing these for the rest of summer.</div>

Dressing for the heat always means raised hemlines and loose fabrics. This time I went for both and also became a trend victim of sorts in tribal print and neon. Yep, pretty standard blogger fare minus the soaring heels which I deemed inappropriate for the market. </div>

Hi folks! Have you been making the rounds of all the summer sales? Or maybe you're gearing up for the major Megamall/F21 sale this weekend? If you have, well count yourself lucky because the writers of this blog are on a self-imposed shopping ban because apparently, getting married is not cheap. Surprise, surprise. So we've been satisfying our shopping urges by limiting our purchases to small accessories that help spruce up tired outfits.</div>

While D was off scouring the ladies' section of SM, I also managed to snag this nifty bright red belt. The texture of it is really nice, almost like suede. It adds a great punch of color to anything. The thin bracelet is from Puerto Galera and the leather braided bracelet is from The Bead Shop.</div>

In other news, I'm sure you've all been seeing the SM Parisian Shoes and Bags campaign that some of your favorite bloggers participated in. I was fortunate enough to be invited to participate in the campaign but on the day itself, I ended up flaking because I was too sick to haul myself out of bed. It's a pity because I was super excited to check out the latest styles they had brought in!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3tTJjm0Sju5mtRkW02TvjF081t_4srjRwdhCiJ21v3U1xYHuvy17B1FRX_m8DEUMdDY3iD8_0iCeLHKj0cDL2zbMl02Q-sdXrnH8He2YqAHMNUlai7kAoPocWMTxnY7A_Aln1HJK_TxCi/s1600/IMG_8030.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3tTJjm0Sju5mtRkW02TvjF081t_4srjRwdhCiJ21v3U1xYHuvy17B1FRX_m8DEUMdDY3iD8_0iCeLHKj0cDL2zbMl02Q-sdXrnH8He2YqAHMNUlai7kAoPocWMTxnY7A_Aln1HJK_TxCi/s400/IMG_8030.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>

Luckily, I managed to get a hold of some pairs from the summer collection (a big thank-you to Cristel and Rocio)! These wedges are quite possibly my most manageable pair of shoes with some height. I love the covered heel and the sunny yellow of course! I think I might even be able to wear this to work because of how comfy they are.</div>

I can't bring myself to watch the movie until I've finished this! Plus when I get through with it, P will have his turn reading this. We love dissecting books for hours on end but I refuse to purchase 2 copies.

If you haven't read it yet, you need to run to the nearest bookstore and pick it up. It's so good that I can't think of a better adjective than "good" to describe it. Just go see for yourself and you won't regret it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFwDVqHWxRW3dAz6S7yywKEAZYWPrbMpFuvxvjWSRnF3AnAE-xknN-g0ZsiZhi89fNVuncMAN55YqMW9fKJpgUl3-iGjy68n4GdskzJ97BqTXgkTjZ86KtfxLCVrJ4gA8PdcsnchtyGybm/s1600/IMG_7943.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFwDVqHWxRW3dAz6S7yywKEAZYWPrbMpFuvxvjWSRnF3AnAE-xknN-g0ZsiZhi89fNVuncMAN55YqMW9fKJpgUl3-iGjy68n4GdskzJ97BqTXgkTjZ86KtfxLCVrJ4gA8PdcsnchtyGybm/s640/IMG_7943.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> One of the perks of being a teacher is having access to free books at the library. The sight of shelf after shelf of books waiting to be devoured is one of the most exciting things to see. After a long day in the classroom, I hie off to the library to get lost among the stacks and to unearth hidden gems or crap, as the case may be. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I have no expectations for the book above but the premise seems promising. It's a murder mystery piece about two teenagers searching for the truth about how their friend died.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcEeldCbnl1vViD7GS-flg3NXu_qdiQHs5IdECqJBTXswqLsLIquKCoa9OMjtb4Des-Ew3rXqCN7EzhxPrqDvy0Rkg3nnV19fflvmAtY6Cg2JnZhYlz3QITRiooRVfZwkBduWl0-5qDvkK/s1600/IMG_7944.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcEeldCbnl1vViD7GS-flg3NXu_qdiQHs5IdECqJBTXswqLsLIquKCoa9OMjtb4Des-Ew3rXqCN7EzhxPrqDvy0Rkg3nnV19fflvmAtY6Cg2JnZhYlz3QITRiooRVfZwkBduWl0-5qDvkK/s640/IMG_7944.JPG" width="480" /></a> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> Like Jersey Shore and milk tea, chick lit will always be a guilty pleasure for me. Although, it feels much better when you're not shelling out for the books. I admit, I do end up getting 1 or 2 "fluffy mamon" books for when I'm trying to read to sleep. It's akin to the chapters we were forced to read in college that always helped with those sleepless nights. Don't get me wrong though, a lot of these teen romance books have me squealing with <i>kilig, </i> no matter how formulaic they are!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi60kydczcT6LXiNmtgEx7QnT3a_IFc-KZTgecmjxKGaayBOxPkflDrNY8BfQLbyFUt0s_tKZ5pmXAsYC-2VTZKEYGSAfobJ0UoPOG7zH3CVlRhWRlWUAmgYLmDr9KgmetduHgbTJtZiuHD/s1600/IMG_7956.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi60kydczcT6LXiNmtgEx7QnT3a_IFc-KZTgecmjxKGaayBOxPkflDrNY8BfQLbyFUt0s_tKZ5pmXAsYC-2VTZKEYGSAfobJ0UoPOG7zH3CVlRhWRlWUAmgYLmDr9KgmetduHgbTJtZiuHD/s640/IMG_7956.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">P: Sadly, I don't have as much time to read books as I'd like. So I like to have magazines around when I don't have the time to invest in a good novel. GQ's a solid couple of hours' worth of leisure time plus it helps me find pegs for the tux I'll be wearing on the wedding day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik1ns4t3V6o7YHmExCNIpKOM1n-2GYpmmxCWcF9fGlQ4V4k7BdrvXK-4nqY3t33IH3IUfSAib3dTqRjIyUapyKtk3eDI3IwJmp_sqctNtXVJhqBkIKMhvCiAjxo1tV7iIBcw8kjgZ205eI/s1600/IMG_7945.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik1ns4t3V6o7YHmExCNIpKOM1n-2GYpmmxCWcF9fGlQ4V4k7BdrvXK-4nqY3t33IH3IUfSAib3dTqRjIyUapyKtk3eDI3IwJmp_sqctNtXVJhqBkIKMhvCiAjxo1tV7iIBcw8kjgZ205eI/s320/IMG_7945.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">So while looking for DVDs in Metrowalk to assist in our state of vegetation, we stumbled upon this cool, little store selling imported items from Japan. Of course, we had to get some munchies for movie night.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXIMyyeTE_CmENc1kZfgmMbTQpQtQHqe2I7L1Vdinl9LzjQiLAHvoghreNaZuIfP9ah97trW_ph3D19fL6AYh8YhJT_N-CId_vJI-_yoKf3FmjEnp62UBkvvoK2E62miEQJWvL4ky-1IKN/s1600/IMG_7946.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXIMyyeTE_CmENc1kZfgmMbTQpQtQHqe2I7L1Vdinl9LzjQiLAHvoghreNaZuIfP9ah97trW_ph3D19fL6AYh8YhJT_N-CId_vJI-_yoKf3FmjEnp62UBkvvoK2E62miEQJWvL4ky-1IKN/s320/IMG_7946.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">We first set our sights on the brown sugar and red bean KitKats. We could only get two of these uniquely-flavored bars because they were selling for PHP60 a pop.

If you were eating this blindfolded, you would probably think it's bits of red bean mashed with chocolate. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hope you saw something interesting here or were inspired to grab a book or some sweets. Wherever they may be and whatever you may be doing, hope your holidays are a peaceful and enjoyable.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
