t-shirts
And what it all comes down to, my friends
…is that everything’s just fine, fine, fine
- “Hand in My Pocket”, Alanis Morisette
Purple vintage shirt, Circle C, P85. Tuesday uniform coat, office issue. Slacks, hand me down. Naturalizer shoes.
Today I woke up to realize that most of my office clothes are still at the launderer’s. That left me to work with my t-shirts. And my pair of slacks. It’s Tuesday today, so I wanted to wear pink… And that narrowed my selection down to this purple vintage shirt right here. That plus my Tuesday coat (which I fortunately didn’t wear last week) plus our trusty ID made me look all office-y. Wheee! I didn’t even have to wear jewelry. Haha!
I love how our office gives us the freedom to wear anything we want, even though we were given uniforms (which we are strongly encouraged to wear). Anything we want, as long as it’s excellent and corporate and we look like we’re working in the building, that is.
You better get me to school on time
School of Rock shirt, Circle C, P75. Pigtails. A huge, red bracelet. Jag jeans. My Sony Ericsson W760i.
I love School of Rock.
I love military green.
I love cheap clothes.
I LOVE THIS THIS T-SHIRT.
Okay, so that’s not really the logo of School of Rock, but I think the creators of this shirt nailed the branding, don’t you think so, too? And, look, it’s 75 pesos. Circle C is love.
Title from “School of Rock” by Jack Black, from… School of Rock. Haha!
When you’re too in love to let it go
Guess who’s getting a makeover.
I found a Tetsuwan Atom shirt in that ukay beside Lolo Oboy‘s. An official Tetsuwan Atom shirt. In a thrift store. And it was CLEAN. And there weren’t any damages! If that wasn’t an awesome find, I don’t know what is.
But the thing is: it’s a boy’s size. Although I’m no newbie in wearing men’s shirts, this one in particular isn’t very flattering for me. It’s too short to be a proper shirt but too long to be a baby tee, the lines are too straight, and the neckline is just wrong. I look like a girl forcing myself in a little boy’s shirt….which is exactly what I am. Haha!
I’ve had this since January, but I have yet to wear it because of the reasons above. I’ve tried wearing it, but had to change out of it before leaving the apartment. It just did NOT work.
But it’s an awesome shirt! Just check out that holographic design sewn on it!
So. My solution? A pair of scissors. Mwahahaha! I contemplated cutting out the design and sewing it on another shirt, but, after looking up some tutorials on shirt cutting, I have another plan in mind.
I totally forgot to shoot before and after pictures. Drat. In the photo above, the t-shirt was already cut. But I did it with a cheap (and rather rusted—ACK) pair of scissors, so the result wasn’t very…satisfactory. BUT I shall buy a good pair of sewing shears and fix it. I promise. I shall post a photo when it’s done.

Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
Graphic t-shirt, unbranded jeans and moon guitar necklace, all from Circle C. Boots from ukay sa Crossing. Beatles bag from Thailand.
My outfit for the Alice in Wonderland premier. Of course I was going to wear my little moon guitar necklace. It’s Alice size! Haha!

And I will make of you another believer
In our company had a staff outing, I was part of the yellow team, also known as Team Panalo. (Manalo, matalo, Panalo pa rin! LOL.) This be our shirt. Or at least one of them. Half of our team had shirts that said “Team” on them, while the other half had the “Panalo” shirt. We would walk in pairs, always making sure that our shirts read “Team Panalo”. Hehehe. I love the people I work with.
Oh, and by the way: our team won in the games. Ha!
And another thing about the shirt: I tied a knot in the back so it’ll look more girly.

Because, because, because, because
So I bought a new pair of Chucks.
Because I love Chucks.
And because I’ve never had red shoes.
And because I was going to the Red Shoes premier.
Time to see this pair: a split-second.
Time to try it on: 2 minutes.
Time to decide if I should get it: a split second.
This has got to be one of my fastest purchases. Haha!

About the photo
Pixelated, I know. Boo, low lighting. Boooooo! But then again, the low light made the red stand out more. Sorta.
wait till I come back to your side
Dinosaur Shirt from Robinson’s Galleria Department Store. Unbranded jeans from Circle C. Chucks. 10-year-old Uruk-hai bag from Daki.
This is how I dressed during college. Except for the skinnies. I always wore flares then. Oh, and I wore running shoes instead of Chucks then. And— Wait. So this isn’t how I dressed in college. Huh. LOL.
But aaaaaaaaanyway. When I was preparing to go watch the From Paris with Love premier, one of my roommates said that I looked like a college student. Har~
About the photo
Hehe. The advantages of staying in the mall until closing time include finding awesome places to shoot. Like this one. Yey for this flatish escalator/conveyer-belt-looking thingy!
So I realize that you can’t really see the details of what I’m wearing here. But I loooooove how the shot turned out! You can click on the photo to see the larger version on Flickr. Thanks for helping me, Jori!

Say the word I’m thinking of
Have you heard the word is love
- “The Word”, The Beatles. From the Revolver album, 1965.
Tank top and jersey combo from Circle C, P300. Jag jeans. Chucks. Dog tag from the Febfair in LB manymany years ago. Watch from Tomato.
I’ve been wanting to do this look for a long, long, long time, but I couldn’t find a shirt like that that looked good on me. And I didn’t have a tank top. Until now. And, even better, I got them both as a combo. Wheeee!
Darn. Now I want to cut the neckline of some of my not-used-anymore shirts. Haha!
About the photo
I love shooting in UP Film Center at noon. The harsh lighting does wonders in this setting, for some reason. Must be the orange brick?
You could be making the grade
Coat from our Monday uniform by Adi Velasquez. Black shirt from Kamiseta. Black slacks. Plastic crystal necklace from…er…I dunno.
Mixed my monday uniform with…non-uniform clothes. Ended up looking like a teacher. Which wasn’t so bad. Except, I am NOT a teacher. My mom is a teacher, though. And I think she had a photo very much like this several years ago.
I bought NOTHING in this outfit. The coat was paid for by our office. The pants were excellent quality hand-me-downs from my mom. The blouse was bought by my mom when I was in high school. (Yes. High school. And yes, it still fits me. I was fond of loose clothes then.) And the necklace…Darn, I can’t remember where I got it from! I think my mom gave me that, too.
…I mix-matched! Successfully! YEY!!! *insert dancing emoticon here*
Title from “Teacher’s Pet”, Pupil
with fists as fast as lightning
“Man who Catch Fly With Chopstick Accomplish Anything”
Another WIN from Circle C, bought for P75. I originally got it to give it as a gift, but ended up keeping it and buying another one to give as a gift.
Jag jeans. Hand me down bag from my mom. Wooden brown and black bracelet. Nokia cellphone LOL.
About the Photo
To compensate for the poor lightning, Photoshop to the rescue. Taken when I got home from Feb’s mini-FFC. Had a major migraine pounding my head. Took a couple of dark shots, then went to bed. Nyurrrrrr.
