And Just Like That, I'm a Child Again.

It's been years since I last visited my Mom's original hometown, La Carlota City Negros Occidental, an hour away from Bacolod. Last time I was here was 2010 when we had to attend my uncle's funeral. My Mom surprised me one day when she texted me that she booked me a flight to Bacolod for my Lola's birthday. So even if I have work gora na din coz I miss my Lola very much, plus I don't know when I'd see her again bilang 90 yrs. old na sha. So here I am, sitting infront of my laptop in my grandma's room while they're all sound asleep. Maaga lights out dito as in 9pm. I'm also doing last minute emails and text messages, pullouts for ASAP on Sunday. Sad I won't be there again (I always feel guilty when I'm not physically there) but Mich is gonna cover for me naman so I know everything's gonna be fine. Haven't told you yet how she altered Ms. ZsaZsa's dress last week as in professional tahi levels kaloka. Will save that for another post, but for the meantime here are photos from today!:)

Nita Clothing top, Forever 21 parka jacket, Greenhills shorts, ShopThisEasy scarf, Cotton On shades, Suiteblanco bag, Flipsters ballet flats

Say hello to my airport look.  Wanted to wear shorts coz I know walang palitan the whole day and I know it's gonna be hot and humid. The top I pulled out for Karylle (which she wasn't able to wear) but I ended up buying. Love the fit and how I can mix and match it with different bottoms:) Anyway, wore my parka over it para comfy pa din in the plane. You already know that I can't leave and live without a scarf when I'm traveling. Brought my new leopard print scarf from new online shopping site SHOPTHISEASY.COM and it's perfect! Anlaki ng coverage nia haha. It serves as my protection from the sun, my mini tent, my leather seat barrier, my warmth, lahat na! That's it pancit:)

Here are photos from today...
