I was looking forward alllllllllll week for this weekend to come. Amy and I had it planned two weeks before that I am going to spend the weekend at her home--baking, drinking, working out--then Breakfast Club the next day. To our dismay, the weather was so crappy that it ruined the whole weekend extravaganza. Instead of waiting for the bus which took like foreverrrrrr, I decided to just brave and walk to Safeway to buy myself some dinner. I got myself a handful--sushi rolls, lemon chicken, pad thai, chicken wings, chips plus my leftover wine from last weekend--all of which I had while having a Pretty Little Liars marathon. Then Dee decided to show up at the house all sickly and weak cos of the snow and her heels (who wears heels during a snow storm anyway??? yup, only Dee!). I wasn't feeling well too cos I fell last Friday on the way out to go to the gym. Worst part is I fell on very thin ice...yes, I basically fell on pure cement. I hurt my elbow and hips but I am feeling waaaay better now thanks to Ibruprofen, ice pack and Katinko. Since we were both injured badly, we slept before midnight and hoped for a better Sunday! 

There wasn't too much snow fall today but it's still -31...and yet again we braved it, walked to the nearby French cafe, stopped at the park for some photos, sip latte and cocoa while savoring banana nutella croissant, pecan tart, cream puff, oatmeal and chocolate chip cookie. 

My whole body was definitely freezing when I got home. I went under the blankets and wore my winter socks when my phone prompted that I got a new mail. The mail was from Calgary Fashion's fashion editor telling me that I will be interviewed and featured in their new segment called Beyond the Seams where they spotlight unique and interesting people from the fashion industry that they admire and want to spotlight :)

I am overwhelmed with the good response my blog is getting here in Canada. I was worried that I had to start from scratch but ever since I was named Top 15 Canadian Fashion Blogs by Fashionism.ca, things started looking up for me. You, my readers, made it happen...THANK YOU!!!! 

P.S.

hello, edmonton...and so we meet!

BELATED HAPPY THANKSGIVING, CANADIANS! 

so sorry if it took me quite a while to post a new entry. long weekend has arrived and i was out of calgary the moment i ended work last friday. after four hours, we were in edmonton already :) friday was for resting then come saturday, we were up and about! we were to invade the 2nd largest mall in the entire world afterall. the sea lion show (i was kissed by a sea lion!), the pirate boat and the underground aquarium were just icing on the cake but the main thing we went there for was SHOPPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!!!! the best thing about it? everything was almost on sale! i felt like i was able to buy soooo many things compared to when i did some bday shopping. i got some lingerie at VS (5 for $25), a skirt ($10) and a dress at H&M ($15) and at forever 21...well, lets just say, i went craaaaayzaaaay! i bought 2 sequined beanies, a maxi skirt, a long sleeved embellished top, a short skirt and leggings (i got everything under $10 except the maxi skirt which wasn't on sale). HAPPY DAYS :)

we were supposed to clubbin' the same night but we were too tired already. nonetheless, it was nice to be able to spend some time with good ol' friends from manila here in canada :) they are the only friends i have here (for now) afterall...one of the things i'm thankful for :)

GAP ruffled top. skirt from Winners. Anne Klein tights. Spring hardware booties. H&M saddle bag. F21 bow ring. bracelet given by a friend. zipper leggings from SM.

what are you thankful for? :)
