it's not hot pink

on me: thrifted blazer and sling bag. People R People shirt. MNG jeans. cut-off booties and cocktail ring from a bazaar. bracelets given by a friend.
on nez: top purchased online. MNG trousers. CLN bag. peep-toe heels from Landmark. cocktail ring and cuff.
on noel: GAP hoodie. Team Manila shirt. Bench jeans. Vans sneakers.

i was looking for a hot pink blazer because i wanted to channel Alexander Wang. i thought i found the blazer of my dreams...but when i went home i started to see pass my color blinded-ness and saw that it wasn't really hot pink! still, i wanted to get away with it so i made a survey:

what is the color of my blazer?
mads: peach!
noel: it's not pink. it's not orange. somewhere in between...hmm...peach?
michiko: peach! it's definitely not hot pink no!
rich: pomelo!
a guy from starbucks: it's voluptous pink!
nez: hmmm...peach?
via: it's not peach...it's coral!

i am telling you, this blazer is really controversial! we bothered all the people in starbucks in fully booked GB5 just finding the right word for this color. via is such a genuis! of course, it is coral!

so anyway, after bugging the customers having coffee at starbucks (was glad all of them were regulars) and finding the perfect word (phew!), we headed for dinner at world chicken in GB1 (i cannot get over the pesto cream!). i then ranted while we were having the yummiest chocolate cake ever in classic confections. my friends are the most honest individuals alive! i am sooo lucky :) and michiko never fails to make me laugh. she's the meanest yet funniest person alive! we miss you, nelly.

on me: white blazer given by my bf. white v-neck shirt from tiangge. shiny leggings from my grandma's closet. thrifted chained sling bag. shades. cocktail ring. anchor necklace.

on my mom: CLN top. Guess jeans.

haha! i had my mom pose with me while she was fitting in CLN =) she bought the top she was wearing for P499 (originally P999) although we both thought it was P299. while i used the GC from maldita abby gave me and bought a black liquid leggings. i only added P200 cash since my GC was worth P500 only. still, no one can beat a P200-worth liquid legging right? thanks again abby ;)

mom was craving for palabok so we headed to red ribbon, she kind of reminisced about the time when ate used to treat her there...or maybe she was just making parinig? hmm...NOTE TO SELF: treat mom sometime soon =P

red ribbon conversations:
mama: san mo naman nakuha yang angkla mo? (pointing at my new anchor necklace)
me: sa sta. cruz, P10 lang yan. tapos un ring ko (showing off my new ring), P30.
mama: meron bang accessory shop dun? ang galing n'yo talaga sa mga ganyan no?
me: look at my new bag, it's chanel-chanelan! from the ukay-ukay!
mama: (inspecting the bag) ang galing ah. mukhang bago! iwan mo to sken ah pag punta mong canada.
me: P350 MILLION! ayoko nga, un iba ko na lang bags ha =)

fitting rooms conversations:
me: (showing off the liquid leggings i was fitting) maganda ba?
mama: wow, leather! bagay yan dun sa leather jacket mo tapos boots.
me: ang init init kaya sa pilipinas pagsasabayin ko un dalawang leather. san ko naman susuot un?
mama: sa embassy kaya!

hay, my mom...i hate her sometimes but most of the time, i love her...even if i don't say it as often as i should =)
