Another update from my trip to San Francisco. Walk to Lombard Street and to a secret park for an even higher view of the city. Followed by making a quick stop to Ghirardelli Square to ease the sweet tooth– included indulging in cupcakes, sundaes and chocolate purchases… For dinner, In-and-Out burger combo and clam chowder in Fisherman’s Wharf. For entertainment, went to Musee Mecanique, an antique coin operated arcade in the Fisherman’s Wharf with 1930s to 1950s restored carnival games and an old fashion Indiana Jones-themed pinball machine– the best part about this place was that they also had restored photo booths. I still find photo-booth pictures so ridiculously precious compared to a couple of MB on your smart phones to look at.

Hey guys! Just got back from my trip from San Francisco and have lots to share! I stayed for about a week with a self-made and jam-packed itinerary via Microsoft Excel.

My official day in San Fran (not including my brutal flight with American Airlines..) started with spending the day with my girlfriend, Fiona! Since I was staying around downtown Union Square of SF, I took the Caltrain for my first time down to Mountain View to visit her at the head office of Google. To my surprise when I see her, she greets me with a bag of cookies with my name on it! Haha. She is a super talented designer who is currently interning at Google for the summer and was kind enough to give me a personal and googley tour of the place, accompanied with dinner together…and in between all that, more *healthy* snacks. Horray, for free snacks! Thanks for the sweet and temporarily noogler experience!

It’s always so intriguing to see how one can work a man’s shirt. And today was just one of those days where I managed to borrow one…within reason because of the weather of course! Thinking it was going to be super warm and sunny like yesterday’s golden weather, I was prepared to wear a sleeveless shirt and accordion pleated skirt. Eventually that fell through and a makeshift ensemble was in order with an entire man’s wardrobe at my fingertips and a spare pair of my own jeans for today’s cool day.

Earlier today I got to meet up with the super stylish and lovely, (inside and out!) Therese De Jesus! The force and magic behind Artiese Photography. Although, she was off duty (haha, get it? Courtesy of Zara) we spontaneously decided to take some impromptu photos. Not only does she work the camera, *pun intended* she also has an amazing style and could be her own fashion guru. And that is why we intent to become each other’s photo monkeys. Who needs blogger boyfriends when you have your girlfriends right?
I can’t wait to share more later on. Happy Wednesday guys!

Hope you guys had a good weekend. The majority of mine was recovering from being sick, but I was fortunate enough to be able to come out and get some air and solid food. Good weather calls for group festivities, patios and Kensington Market! My mom and I’s OOTD is actually from last-last-Sunday from my cousin’s kids’ baptism. She is wearing a Laura-petite dress (comes with a matching pink blazer) but instead opt. for a light white sweater, finishing the look with Nine West heels. From the second last post in regards to Mother’s Day, I decided to feature my mom since she has greatly influenced my wardrobe. Natural beauty isn’t she? She’s not even wearing any makeup! Very blessed I must say. More to come this week since the days are looking better, as well as my health. I’m also really looking forward to ABGT next Saturday and another surprise following that! #grouptherapylove

 Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!
Especially to the lovely lady who gives me her unconditional love and care everyday since birth, which I call my mom. Today, I witness her reject gifted flowers, fancy festivities and cake for long and early hours of charitable work, peace and helping others. While working with her today, I got to see my mom care for others, aside from her own. Viewed as most purest-hearted human in my life, I give all my love to her!  And not just today. My outfit is also inspired by her ultra-feminine and light style since she has a mild obsession with dainty, white and detailed pieces.

*Small note–Just wanted to let you folks know that I don’t have a weird obsession with touching my new hat! Haha. I had to hold onto it since it was so windy outside.
