in my downtime

back when i couldn't wear heels yet because i had to recover from my knee injury,  flat shoes were my thing -- ballet flats and sandals -- to wear during "my downtime." when i starting wearing heels, people got concerned because they thought i shouldn't do so. i figured, when will i learn? so i started wearing smaller heels gradually switching to 5-inch ones. before i knew it, i could even drive in them!

this was taken last monday on the way to buy new tires for my car. the right tire tore up as i was turning from an intersection on sunday night. the experience with changing a tire is not what i expected. i thought i could easily do so because of the muscles i've built with all the hard drills our coach used to give us. boy was i wrong! good thing harry was there to help me..and my dad dropped by in a few minutes too.

ooh, the boys in my life!

love them to death!

sunday dress

i remember sundays in our province (sindangan). we'd spend our holy week at my lola's place together with all my cousins and mom's siblings. our lola would inspect all our church outfits making sure it's appropriate and would send us back to our rooms if it's not. so before we leave for sindangan, my sisters and i would prepare one outfit per day -- as we do go to church from wednesday to sunday. during those times, my cousins and i were epitomes of "sunday dresses."

i miss our lola. we all miss her cooking. i miss the holy weeks that all of us spend there.
