Sale away

Me: I'm just going to take a quick peek inside Plains & Prints' Purple Sale.

Also me:

Can't blame me, though. Their sales are always top notch.

H-bomb

"Spaghetti" should be an easy word to spell, right?

Right?

Makes me wonder where the "h" went. Was it his day off? Did he fall into the spaghetti?

Proofreader, please.

City of confusion

Had to go back and look at this frame from an online video that passed through my feed.

Had to look at it again, then screenshot it just to be sure.

After much examination, my hunch is correct. The city that they identified as "Bangkok" is actually Hong Kong! Having lived there for 4 years, those neon signs jutting out from office buildings are quintessential HKG.

The editor must've been confused.

Sweet Memories

Seeing this photo on-line just gave me so much feels.

These are the sweets that I grew up with. 

We'd either buy them at Unimart, at the Camp Crame commissary, and some of them were available at our neighbourhood sari-sari stores owned by Mommy Gallegos and Aling Ensa & Aling Leony.

Luckily, a lot of these are still available now. My super faves aren't available anymore, though. That's Bensons eclairs, Big Boy bubble gum, Bazzoka Joe with the free comic, and Eisbon Cola.

Hopefully, some company will bring them back.

Be-mused

When we met up for our post-Christmas D' Frendz get-together at Mona's house, this very chic sight caught my eye.

Mona and Maricar as muses!

Incidentally, they were both wearing fuchsia blouses that I gave them. Both Mona and Maricar have a strong and fun sense of style, so it's always a joy finding outfits for them.

Like their outfits, true friendship never goes out of style.

FMM: A Propaganda piece

Whenever Friday Magic Madness comes along, it's inevitable that the 80s will be mentioned with it. After all, there's so, so, SO much great music from the 80s.

From the mainstream artists to more obscure singers and groups, there's such a breadth of awesome musical talent going around.

One of my fave 80s songs is this very memorable ditty from an lesser-known 80s group called Propaganda. In 1985, they had this hit song entitled "Duel."

Until know, the lines "the first cut won't hurt at all, the 2nd always makes you wonder, the 3rd will have you on your knees, you start leaving, I start screaming," is still etched in my mind. Mainly because it's so visual and beautifully written.

This is a propaganda material that's worth getting into.

Layered Mousse

Here's another way to wear Mocha Mousse.

Dropped by Surplus Shop last week and saw this cool dress.

It had this layered effect, with an overskirt wrapping around the waist of a shirt dress. But it's just one piece, so it's not fussy to wear. 

To keep the colour story going, the shoes are chocolate brown loafers from The SM Store.

It's layers upon layers of chic!

Styled with Mousse

Not hair mousse, though.

It's all about Mocha Mousse this year.

Was digging through "the stash" during the Christmas break, and found this uber fashionable combo that has Mocha Mousse as the main colour.

The dress is from Stella, and this dress is almost a decade old. But look at how chic and classic this design is. Then, the gold accessory is from Forever 21, also almost a decade old.

True style is really timeless.

Bringing Bahru

Gosh! It's been 5 years since my last SG visit.

This year will definitely be the year I'll go back.

In the meantime, let me have my fill of SG feels.

Yup, Tiong Bahru bakery is finally open.

Delicious, lah!

Squid-ding aside

Netflix is serious about marketing.

For the launch of Squid Games 2, they turned Robinsons Galleria into a Squid Game hallway.

Well played, Netflix. Well played.
