I said to myself that only after I receive my orders from GoJane this month will I allow myself to buy ANYTHING,
be it from the mall or the WWW, necessary or slightly unnecessary. hihi.
Penny-wise, I have kept myself within the confines of our house for the past couple of weeks to save me from going loco over summer mall sales and bazaars. And boy, did my strategy work! NO purchases whatsoever of nonessential stuff for almost a month now - read a planner entry scribbled just last Saturday. I was pleased ;)

So this morning, when my dad told me to accompany my sister to school and help her process some papers needed for graduation, I obliged happily knowing that my help would be greatly appreciated.

Fast forward to lunch time; feet were almost dying, brains getting fried by the scorching heat of the midday sun and I, Toni, was totally famished. My sister and I then decided to make quick stop at the mall to grab a bite at our fave fastfood chain and while there, we visited a few shops... Needless to say, my wallet broke her silence more than thrice. Hmpf. There goes my days of practicing self-control.

So while I waited beneath the Eucalyptus tree for my dad to finish his afternoon patient rounds, I contemplated my buys thoroughly and thought; I hardly need any of these :s



Black/White Striped Tee - Mango
Floral shrunken blazer - WAGW (What A Girl Wants)
Distressed jeans - Marconi
Red wedges - Gojane (through Power Retail)
Belt - SM Department Store
Red Sunnies - Old Navy (Power Retail)

Earth Hour 2010

And vote I did.  I spent a good 20 minutes walking around our subdivision to see who else voted for Earth but much to my dismay, only a few participated. Booho…

Another backblog, yes.
I've been feeling a little lousy these past couple of days.. It's the time of the month and the cramps are KILLING ME! Good heavens, I am already on pain medication overdose and it still has little to no effect on me at all. I must be very synsethized to the drug now but whatevs! Will take sleeping pills to help me get through this night without feeling the slightest muscle twitch. Haha!

Anyhoo, this was last Friday's outfit; I had the grandest of time watching the Jabbawockeez perform! They're quite a talented bunch and when they break?? Hands down, beybeh! I never really thought that I'd be into Bboys (Break Boys) but Rainen is just so mm hmm! Haha! Seriously, the guy's really good at breakdancing and he's awfully cute too! Nevermind that he's married, he's still worth crushing on! =D

Additionally, Boyce Avenue and Kris Allen were equally amazing. Their renditions of billboard-topping hits blew the roof off and left me half-deaf from all the singing, screaming and shrieking! Haha!
Overall, Musicfest 2010 was a success and I am now looking forward to next year's bigger(?!) event.
Hooray for scrumptulescent music!
My feet were killing me after an hour or so of walking hence the change of footwear. 
Good thing I brought along my trusty ol' t-straps!
