WTF/LAST OF THE VACAY OUTFITS

I just realized now that I lost my blogroll? OMGosh sorry.

Again I'm not the one working on improving my layout guys, because seriously, I'm really kind of slow when it comes to HTML, so I left the work to the experts (Kristine and my bf's friend Neil.. hey thanks:) and didn't realize that that element went AWOL somehow. Sorry :(

I'm gonna add back the blogroll myself, do comment on this post anyway so I can be sure to include your blog.

Oh and please don't forget to follow CITT ('FOLLOW' tab to the side, still) if you like watchu see.:)

Just adding in the last outfit shots from my short vacay... Yeah, I wore a maxi dress with Boticelli-ish cherubs (a rare feat to get me into a long skirt, no less), ditched the platforms for my Havaianas and Fushus (egad!), stopped to pet some cute pups on sale on the street, went to the beach, wore a crazy python shirt, and laughed my a** off to the city's top caliber comedians.

I can't wait to take a vacation again! Haha. Will be bloghopping in the morning:) xx

Davao

A DIFFERENT CITY @ NIGHT

Wearing DIY cropped top, Yves Identify zebra-print skirt, SM fedora hat, vintage woven leather bag, Novo studded flats

For those planning to visit Davao City soon, there are very interesting tidbits you MUST know. It's always been public knowledge that the city has taken extra measures in making sure that the peace and order in the area is almost never challenged. Matter of fact, the breeze is intensely fresh back there, because yeah, no one would dare smoke in public as that can get one fined or penalized. I can already hear the screams of protest from some of my friends, but that's the way it is, and some would daresay, for good measure.
Another thing one must note is the city's very strict liquor ban. The nightlife begins as early as 7pm or 8pm (!!!) simply because all establishments must stop serving liquor at 2 am the latest. Me and my friend's got a firsthand view of this, and boy, was it fun seeing a lot of people hammered and grinding as early as 9pm. Radical!

Strict restrictions and all, the parties there are no different than the ones here at home, and the people there truly know how to get their party on. I had a bllllast. I can't wait to get back!

Davao

SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF DAVAO (Day 1)

Given the somewhat tight schedule that I run (balancing work+extra gigs+relationship+family+blog) on a regular basis, I always try to make do with what little extra time I do get. A night out with friends or beaching in the weekend is usually enough to stave off my hunger for some much-needed R&R, but at times when the stress is much more than you bargained for and those just aren't enough, then you know you gotta man up and file a longer vacation leave, pack your bags, and jetset!

With that, I knew I couldn't resist my friend Jossa's invitation to head out to Davao City, one of the biggest cities in Southern Philippines.I've only heard remarkable things about it thus far, so I just had to book my flight the first moment I could-and was it a sojourn for the books! The place was visually arresting, and it's a metropolis that still stays close to its traditional roots... it was easy to fall in love with Davao and the warmth and safety that emanates from the place is just absolutely charming.:)

I packed most of my platforms and heels but ironically ended up NOT being able to use them at all and instead opted to walk around in my completely worn-out flats-I may rarely step into them but this time I'm grateful that I did, as it afforded me all the sights and sounds I can possibly take in of this beautiful city.:)

The Event That Was

COFFEECAT CHILL

**Select sheer black shirt, red tank from Topshop, vintage python-finish leggings, Janilyn heels, MF+G bag

A lot of us wear out the "work hard, party harder" mantra to a tee, especially those with lofty career goals and the immense amount of work that goes with them. Before, my idea of a weekend reprieve calls for putting on my go-to dancing shoes and meeting up the gang for some cocktails at our favorite dive bar. But preferences change and these days I opt for intimate conversations or a good laugh as opposed to pounding bass beats- I feel like I've left that behind me. A good cup of coffee or hot chocolate always comes to mind, so I'm always on the hunt for venues of pure comfort and solace.

So me and my friends couldn't pass up the invite to the opening party of COFFEECAT, the newest coffee and frozen yogurt shop in the bustling IT Park Area. With its well-lit and minimalistic interiors, Coffeecat gives off a distinctive sense of warmth in a tastefully modern and hip setting. Those trying to stave off their caffeine consumption should give the YO.GO a whirl. Healthy, and the taste is amazeballs!

Cute how the boyf decided to come in a gorgeous crisp vest to 'dress' for the occasion-- His effort made me grin from ear to ear the whole night, and I could swear it made the whole taste test party much sweeter. After all, who else is perfect for sharing a warm ambiance and sweet treats with than your significant other? I'm pretty certain that we won't be the only ones to spend noteworthy moments in Coffeecat. :)
