Oxfords

I've been looking for a pair of Oxfords for the past two months and have been unsuccessful until today. I think today should be recorded somewhere because honestly, today is a very special day. I got a pair of oxfords at an amazing price. Equivalent to 12 dollars. If you're a Philippine peso earner though, that might sound expensive, but since I converted the price to dollars when buying it to convince myself, I bought it. No regrets though. I'm very happy with them. Thanks to my friend Raye for convincing me to actually get them too. They're a grayish navy blue.. I've always wanted the classic brown or the neutral, but they never have my size. Never. And since lately I've grown desperate to owning a pair of Oxfords, I learned to accept that it is simply a sign that brown oxfords are not for me. Or at least not yet, because I do plan on owning a perfect pair of classic oxfords soon. Uh huh. Nothing's stopping me. Anyways, picture time!

Won't they go perfectly with my polka dotted shorts!? This outfit that I'm putting together will be so cute. You just wait.

New Design

Anyone notice? Decided to customize some things and change the colors to make it remind myself more of me. I sound kind of selfish, huh? But I do hope you readers like it. That is, if I have any readers.. Hmm.

Spontaneous Shopping Success

Got a phone call from a dear friend today around 5:30 PM. Usually around 5:30, I'm sitting in bed on my laptop doing the usual, Twitter, Facebook, watching movies, and whatever else but today I got a phone call. "Hey meet me at SM (a mall)!" "Uh, what? Right now? It's almost night time." "But there's a sale at People Are People (our favorite store)! Everything's 50% off! It's not even dark yet, come on!""I would if I could but I doubt I can go out. I'll see what I can do." "Aw, alright. Text me. Bye!" A few seconds after that I got a text. Seeing that she did really want me to go I went and asked my Grandma for permission to go. I never usually go out on weekends, as sad as that sounds. It's not that I wouldn't like to but I'm not used to it. On the weekends you can find me in my room, laying in bed, on my laptop. Every weekend. Guaranteed. I use my weekends to purely do nothing. It's a part of my routine. Anyways, long story short. I went to the mall and met up with her, her being named Raye btw. Like most of me and friends' plans, we went through with shopping at our store, and found nothing. The 'Everything 50% Off' sale only applied to a table inside the store. A table. Very disappointing taken that I think very highly of that store, but it is what it is. After walking around the 2nd floor a couple times, another friend of ours Panjee decided to join and show up to our adventure and we continued shopping. And again, long story short since I keep drifting off and getting into detail, I found a cute pair of shorts at a very good price at The Surplus Shop. Today was actually the first time I stepped into The Surplus Shop, and I must say I was not disappointed. It reminded me of Ross or Marshalls, basically surplus stuff (obviously) from popular stores, mostly clothing, sold at very affordable prices. And we all know nothing beats a good deal. For sure. Here's a picture.

There I am! Sporting my highly accessorized arm with my hand made bracelets and strangely long thumbs, and of course, my newly purchased polka dotted shorts. A spontaneous shopping trip success.

Another Bracelet!

I've definitely been way too lazy to focus on finishing the friendship bracelet I mentioned. I have my mind on other bracelet ideas to make and they're easier and less time consuming. It's not that I don't have the patience, I just don't have any concentration on that certain bracelet. But I am running out of money.. so since I will not allow myself to buy more supplies this week I'll probably find the time to finally finish it. Anyways, enough about that friendship bracelet. I made this bracelet, in less than 45 minutes. A real quick and easy bracelet that makes a super cute accessory. And of course, inexpensive!

Plus check out that charm! It's a hand that has the words hand made engraved on it. Clever right? It was a must buy.

Bracelet(s)!

Started a friendship bracelet a few days ago... that's not finished. It takes a lot of time for me, because when it comes to picky things like the knot being perfect I'm a perfectionist. But today, as I was sipping a Milk Green Tea (recommended by Connie) at Tealoca (a nice, yet pricy tea shop) I decided to run to the craft shop, grab some beads, a clasp, and some thread. Though I have lots of left over thread from the friendship bracelet I'm making I didn't have it with me, so I had to buy more. Grr. Anyways, I made a bracelet in about 30 minutes time? 45 minutes? An hour? Obviously, I'm not exact as to how long it took but it came out very nice and I'm happy with it. And at the same time, inexpensive to make. A factor to always look at. Here's a picture!

Please excuse the bad quality. Taken from my iPod Touch.

Fail

Tried making a simple friendship bracelet, the one under the DIY tab on honestlywtf.com.... Fail. I forgot to connect the two things (I don't know what to call it) and it's basically like two bracelets on 1 string.. that doesn't make sense. Whatever. I'll start connecting them for the next few rows I guess. I'll be positive and say my mistake makes my bracelet unique. Which it does. Gonna study some botany now though, and possibly drink some nice peppermint tea. TTFN!
