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.
