thank you katie holmes


if katie holmes didn't wear tom cruise's jeans last year, we wouldn't be able to feel so damn comfortable and fashionable in these pants. i have to wear boyfriend jeans at least once a week, to relax from the skinny jeans or leggings that i usually wear to work. just makes sense. plus, i hate shaving my legs on weekday...i'm just lazy like that. LOL. so thank you katie holmes!

as i am writing this, my sister and i are waiting for friends to come over so we can head over to the beach and go island hopping! if you don't know by now, philippines is a group of islands and so strategically arranged that one can never miss it on the map because our geography looks like a sitting horse --- at least that's what i think! we are surrounded by amazing islands and beaches. and in cebu alone, all we need to do is hop on a banca (mini boat) and we can enjoy the marine life -- at just 30 minutes away from the city!

it's funny because other people make sure to step foot on the islands and actually visit them. my friends and i are very much satisfied with watching the island from afar, on the banca and just dive off unto the blue waters! we'd even whine to the driver if he stirs us near to an island --- we just can't stand the crowd.LOL.
