❝Broadcast❞

Absolutely blurry but this is my mom being featured on Filipino television! Badass!

She runs a learning center in Manila and was invited to participate in our version of Good Morning America - Umagang Kay Ganda. I'm way proud of her for being able to open up a company and get where she's been in just a little over a year. Super mom, much?

❝Star Wars❞

I honestly don't know the first thing about Star Wars but Adidas made it way stylish!

Working on getting back into the spirit of blogging and crossing my fingers that the mood will strike me soon as I've been a little out of it lately and would definitely appreciate getting out of this rut.

I hope all of you are doing alright. ♥

❝Worries❞

With three of my closest friends in Japan and my mom in the Philippines where there are tsunami alerts in place I am awake with worry and praying for everyone's safety. Been watching live news footage of all the destruction since around midnight and I am dreadfully unsettled.

Japan alone has been hit with 5 earthquakes in the last few hours and 11 aftershocks so far. Tsunamis have swept up Miyagi and Sendai. A massive fire has taken up Chiba. Additional tsunami warnings are in effect for the Philippines, Hawaii, California, Russia, Taiwan and Indonesia.

Please send good wishes to those affected by the disaster.

I have nothing of interest to write about today.

❝Donations❞

Even though I've got the largest headache known to man and I'm battling body pains from being on my monthly, I managed to finish packing away the clothes, shoes and bags I plan giving to the Charity Clothing Pickup when they swing by my house on Saturday. Phew!

I got about two huge garbage bags full of clothes that have fallen out of my favor or that I bought impulsively and have never even worn outside of the fitting room! 

(I really need to stop doing that, haha.)

Now my closet is a little less bulky and more organized.
Which means more room for an updated wardrobe when I finally start working again. 

Good job!

❝Lunch❞

030711 → Dome o' rice with okaka furikake.

030811 → Ochazuke with ebi furikake, miso with seaweed and tofu,

shumai with live alfalfa sprouts & soy sauce, Chinese green tea. 

Deathly nostalgic for Japanese food lately since I wasn't able to fly back for a visit this year, so I've been looking up really easy recipes online and hunting around the Japanese aisle at the local Asian market for goodies. I figured it was about time I graduated from eating only sandwiches for lunch and I'm definitely enjoying this alternative a whole lot more.

Thinking about making gyudon one of these days but I'm not very confident cooking with meat and as easy as the recipe looks I'm going to have to ask for help during my first attempt. Hehe.

❝Royalty❞

The beautiful Rinka seems to be the new muse for Royal Party!
I love her look! Still boggles my mind that she'll be 38 this year.

Anyways!
 
I downloaded the latest issue of Nonno and am pretty much in love with the it as a whole. I have never wanted to replicate so many of the outfits I've seen in a magazine in my entire life, I swear I had heart palpitations flipping through the pages! 

Photos of my favorite looks under the cut. 
What do you think of them?

❝Splurge❞

Oh my god.

I spent so much money at the mall today but I don't regret it.
I even ran into one of my old co-workers from Lush, Shelly Belly. ♥
Bought orange lippie, foodstuffs from the Asian market & a bunch of new clothes. 

❝Lippie❞

Okay, okaaaaaaaaaay.
I have been wearing red lipstick for years now but I've suddenly fallen in lust with orange.
I blame it solely on Sephora for giving me trend fodder by sending me emails about hot spring looks.

1. Orange lippies ⇒ asdfghjkl!
2. Bold blush ⇒ This is not new to me.
3. Neutrals, brights, golds for the eyes ⇒ I only agree with the first.

I'm so not into like traffic cone orange, maybe more like reddish orange?
I'm not sure my skin color could pull of something the same hue as Sunkist soda.
But if it has red in it I am on like Donkey Kong.

Going shopping when the hour is decent. ♥

❝Oh damn❞

This week has been filled with sore calves, nosebleeds, textbooks and surprisingly enough progress. 
Keeping my fingers crossed that I don't go back to old habits. 
Nosebleeds(x3) I could do without, though. 

Sorry if you're sensitive to blood!
