The winter season is here again and you may not believe me but winter has always been my favorite time of year. Not only because it is close to Christmas but because it is the season with the most variety of clothes to wear. Sure that’s shallow, but summer is much more simplistic in its fashion with a selection of tank tops, shirts, shorts and sandals. On winter, however…you have your pants, jeans, long skirts, boots, weather resistant shoes, sweaters, turtlenecks, long-sleeve shirts, blouses, cardigans, heavy coats, leather jackets. The selection is endless and I haven’t even mentioned the accessories.

The hardest thing about winter is how to stay comfortable in different environments, basically being outside dealing with the weather or inside adjusting to a heated room. The best combination I’ve always used for wintertime is a knitwear or a sweater and a heavy coat, the one you saw on my previous entry. This outfit can deal with any situation. Just because winter is upon us doesn’t mean it is time to pass the winter in a dormant or torpid state. So how about you guys is your wardrobe winter ready? It is time to check out or take out your winter clothings from the box now and have at least some of it available. It only takes a few items to update your look, so keep cool. Get out all your winter clothes from where you hide them and mix up those what you have and get creative!

No idea yet? Okay, here are some essential items that will keep you warm and of course looking fashionable through the colder months. Jumper – is one of the must have item for the season. Sweater – is good at everything it sets out to be, with great wind insulation and warmth. Jacket – is perfect for the days where coat is too much. Knitwear – is always big in winter too, and there are plenty of styles to suit. And oh, please don’t forget that a good pair of denim jeans will suit any season.

Ivy – the bag friend, makeup whore, shopaholic and at iba pa tagged me awhile ago about “Show-And-Tell-Bag” or “Let The Cat Out Of The Bag” (her version). Hmmn, medyo nahirapan ako dito dahil I simply can’t decide which bag to feature. Like Ivy I have several bags too but I have four favorites, kasi they are malaki therefore spacious. Very handy ito para sa mga taong katulad ko na laging on the road. What I’m actually doing is apat na beses akong nagpapalit ng bag in one month (para equal ang treatment). Sometimes madalas pa nga kaysa apat, depende sa occassion, attire at mood. Huwag na kayong magtaka kong bakit, ganyan lang talaga kapag uber ang kaartihan ng isang maluhong baliw na katulad ko. I mentioned this part already in “The Seven Truth About Me”.

Let me introduce my darlings to you. From the left:
My messenger bag “Naviglio”, next is Hobo Bag “Chain”, the lovely “Alma” and last but not least “Vitello Daino Tote”.

Let the cat out of the bag daw.

So heto na ang laman-loob ng aking bag. Simulan natin from the top:
cosmetic case, perfume, lip gloss, lipstick in four different shades, stick foundation, stick blush-on, nail pile, two lip liner pencil, pressed powder, eyedrop, two lip balsam (one is for me and the other is for the kids).

Let us start from the top again:
My big fat wallet (hehehe biro lang ang fat), my new shades, car key, agenda, eyeglasses (can’t read without it), cellphone (ayaw ko na sa kanya), card holder, memory stick and pen with my initials.

Ngayon ay pagkakataon ko ng gumanti :grin I am passing this tag to the following victims:
Ambo, SardonicNell, Repah, Diwatang Biyaning and Miss Nosebleed.

Last night was again another Charity Gala. This time, it was held in Maritim Hotel in Gelsenkirchen and organized by the Visayas Mindanao Organization. As usual nandoon yong pabonggahan, pakuwela at iba pa. Wala sana akong balak na dumalo dahil I have a written exam this coming Monday and of course kailangang-kailangan kong mag-aral. But hubby was very insistent na papuntahin ako to break the monotony daw of being a hard working student. Sa madaling salita, I went to the said party with my friends and I would say…we do had a great time!

Mula sa pictures na kuha doon sa Gala, I have chosen some images to show you what kalukringan yours truly did the whole evening.

The unforgettable moments with Atinna da buruka of Tokyo, silent Sofie of Lucern and with suplading Thekyang of Holland. More pictures to come and funny stories about the said EB. Itutuloy…
