I was once painted!

Some of you might know about this already, I was painted as a T'boli woman of Lake Sebu by our very own Jun Alfon! haha! 
Kamukha ko ba? ;)
T'boli kids in traditional wear <3
 T'boli women of South Cotabato are known as great weavers. 
T’nalak is made from abaca and dyed with natural vegetable dyes in red and black. The red is said to represent bravery, commitment and love, while the black stands for struggles, hardships and perseverance. The geometric patterns vary from piece to piece, with no two pieces of t’nalak being exactly alike. In the past, T’nalak was used as a dowry or a bride price, as well as to barter for farm animals.

Aside from the well-made T'nalak, they also produce beadworks such as necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings, belts and other more!

Which reminds me of the necklace I wore on my previous post :)

PEPPER LUNCH x MAXI SKIRT

We had lunch at Pepper Lunch one Monday. (read further below)
Had Pepper Lunch in Shang, though. haha; not in Rockwell as pictured! Thanks, google!
 Yummeeeeh! A bit salty, but better than Sizzling Pepper Steak!!
Sizzle it your way
I ordered my meal with miso soup. Their miso soup ain't good... for me. hihi

It was also the day I wore my maxi skirt to work. It did not look great that day, though. I guess the mood and ++ stress ruined it!

I feel odd posting this. I am not into clothes anymore. I am spending more on good food to relieve stress and occasional sadness. It's actually been awhile since I shopped for new clothes. I don't get giddy on fashion-related articles and things anymore. I am actually even thinking of a derogatory term for... *gulp*.... fashion just so I won't use it for some subdued reason. Perhaps, change it to style-related ones. Eh-wan.

I blame *let's not drop the word/cause* for engulfing my drive and merely like on things I used to really check in detail. This may sound awful, but not really. I am holding on to the fact that all these will end soon. Thank God! :) Next step, though, is twice as hard, to contemplate on my next step and which path to take... again! Haha!
 Nyahahahah *laughing at myself*
As much as I want to make it a point not to take and post shots this way such as in the dressing room, there's no other way I can think of / resort to.
Photos captured during the day I bought it. Wore it exactly with the top, shoes and necklace. 
 Look, you can even see my jeans! haha!
Hahah! Chura!
Nakakatawa. Why am I even posting all these!
Anyway, thurrr!
I should've asked a friend to take me a photo when we were at Shang, no? Choss!
