From Manila with Love Blog

Why hello there, I didn’t know goddesses like you could exist in real life *wink* *wink* *licks lips* …ew.

It's an hour and a half past witching hour as I'm writing this down, so quite naturally, I deduced it's time for another blog update! Which explains why I just wrote that disgusting pick-up line. I don’t even know what it means. Is it really even a pick-up line?

Lil Latina Fashionista nominated me ages {1 year or so} ago for this blog award, and I'd just like to thank her :) Thanks girl! The original badge for this award was actually different; I didn't like it so I made a new one.

And now for the rules...

Nomination Rules:

1. Post the award image to your blog

2. Link the person who awarded you

3. Post 7 random things about you

4. Nominate other 8 relatively new blogs

Now that we got that out of the way, here are some random tidbits.

1. If I'm comfortable in a place where I need to sleep, I will invariably strangle, wrestle and make my presence known to whoever's sleeping beside me. My siblings don't like sleeping with me because "they" said I slam/place my legs/arms on them, sort of like what I do to pillows. Rubbish until proven otherwise.

2. I collect notebooks. I have this certain quirk wherein I buy notebooks that I "need" and then end up not using them because I don't want to ruin the pages. And if I do end up forcing myself to use one, I rip the page that I use because I've deemed that my handwriting isn't pretty enough for said notebook after which I lament on the fact that said notebook isn't perfect anymore because I ripped a page out. I have issues.

3. We have cats. We always have cats. I never asked for one. I could do without it, but they're just,there. Existing.With me. I think I'm more of a pet-rock kind of person.

4. I listen to Korean songs. Not just Kpop. If you want to listen to other genres other than kpop, go to eatmykimchi.com or watch their youtube channel.

5. I have this unhealthy obsession with accents. More specifically, guys with accents. Now I don't wanna be "that" girl, but I've accepted the fact that I AM THAT GIRL who's smitten by guys with accents.

You're welcome.

6. One thing about my personality is that, my good opinion once lost, is lost forever. If a friend or even an acquaintance has done me wrong in any way, my friendship with them or my opinion of them is lowered and I find that once that's done, I can't seem to get it to the way it was before and my thought of them about that stays. I will still be friends with them, but a certain closeness is lost and a restriction and certain awkwardness is put up whenever that happens.

7. Lastly, I've been obsessed with this show on YouTube lately called, The Most Popular Girls in School. HI-LA-RI-OUS, if you don't mind sex jokes and you like laughing at high school cliche then you should check this out.

Now that you've delved into the essence that is my twisted soul, here are the blogs that I nominate!

PS. I actually like cats. But our cats are very, how do you say this nicely, spoiled arrogant little queens. Yes, they're all females. They only come near when they're hungry or if they've deemed us worthy of a little attention. But I guess all cats are like that.

PPS. Just get the image code in the text box below the image and place it anywhere on your blog or link it in your blogpost. Or just right-click and save image as. :)

I get laughed at a lot because my tolerance for cold weather is next to zilch. Here are some style inspirations featuring, you guessed it, layers!

...or coats.

Either.

Somebody stop me from making a jingle about this scrumptiously-delicious-crunchy-sweet-chewy-salty-smoky-mouthwatering-heart-stopping-pain-inflicting rice bowl.

My mom, who is an avid fan of online shopping, called my name {loudly}one day. I noticed the "upbeat" tone of the the way she called me so I scratched out me being in trouble. {I tend to incur the wrath of certain motherly err, affections}

So imagine my not-so-surprise when she showed me her latest purchases. Two big boxes from zalora came in, with two sets of shoes per box. I thought, wow, they certainly didn't skimp on presentation. Kudos to their marketing team! Good quality box and cute design too.

Moving on to the actual contents, I have a new pair of heels! And they're absolutely gorgeous.

What I'm most excited about is the red sole reminiscent of Christian Louboutin shoes!

The upper part is leather and so are the insoles.

It also has satin trimmings and really well made for the price.

Now the only question is where to wear them? My mom suggests I wear them to an interview, which I completely disagree with since I don't want to be solely remembered for my outfit let alone my very eye-catching shoes. Then again, you have to look nice. :P

What do you think? And where do you usually shop for shoes and clothes?

Why only one star? See my thoughts after the jump!

Remember the lists and those resolutions you wrote {or thought of} at the beginning of 2012? Yes, those lists. The “I will vow to eat only organic stuff and exercise more” and “I won’t spend so much on clothes and makeup so I can travel more” Etcetera. Etcetera. Etcetera . Do you know why they went haywire and never seem to push through, which in turn leaves you feeling depressed and which consequently makes you completely forget those promises and then New Year comes around and you’re back to doing what exactly?

Making promises you know you can’t keep? Or showing the world that, here you are making more resolutions {most of which are the same ones you made the year before} which will fizzle out before you reach the middle of the New Year.

Why does this happen?

Hey you.

Happy New Year!

Meow?

Starting my post with something light, fluffy and, well, vain. I have an upcoming post about the New Year and goals and stuff and hauls and hauls and more hauls. And some reviews on the side. And music posts too! I miss doing those. Anyway, cheers for the new opportunities and meeting new people, and let me leave you with a very inspiring quote for this 2013.

Indeed.
