i always go back to you

i always go back to this dress. it's what i call my fail-safe dress. it has mixed patterns and prints. it's belted on the waist. it's very comfortable. it's breezy. it's blue. and yes, it's very forgiving. why? because it's a tent dress and it can fit me when i've gained weight or lost weight. and this time, i've gained some and my mixed print dress is always there to catch me when i'm in an outfit dilemma.

i've mentioned this on one of my very few posts when i started my new job -- a day job. i've had this heightened appetite and have been eating non-stop for weeks now. other than a new pair of shoes, food cheers me up. vanilla ice cream cheers me up the most. i would love to have a new pair everytime i get stressed or restless or bored but it's an expensive habit. whereas, food is there..haha! so yeah, i know i have to control this appetite or else my clothes won't fit me anymore (which will be such a waste of money) but for now, i'm going to enjoy actual lunch at 12 noon, afternoon snacks of turon (banana and nangka fritter wrapped in chinese wrapper, coated with brown sugar then deep fried to perfection) and ice candy, little munchy breaks of yogurt or crackers, dinner at home at 7PM and dessert with dark chocolate or ice cream.

not what i expected part one

turns out, i was super late in posting these as i wasn't able to get the photos from armand's camera until the middle of the week. this was during a fashion show / anniversary party we attended for one of our client's, bong's wedding essentials and more...lorymer villareal, our good friend and former cebu young designer's winner and philippines project runway contestant, is currently the in-house designer for the shop. the night was not what i expected not the in the sense that the show didn't go well or that the designs were unfabulous -- because they were and i would love to don the tiered dress for my own wedding (if only i was taller), just that i didn't expect the night to be an intimate dinner with their clients. it was still fun all the same. 

armand and i also visited oxygen's model casting call in penthouse just to check the folks there and yes, as you guessed, it was not what we expected too. we expected a fashion show of some sort or an event filled with activities and stuff but when we got there, it was just a party where everyone was awkwardly standing around. we were there for only 5 minutes then we bailed. armand and i ended up having green tea frozen yogurt at coffee cat -- a perfect way to end an unexpected night.
