October/November Updates!

Here's what I've been up to the past month!

1.
Caught up with some of my friends from Brent. I can't believe it's been ten years since i graduated!
Ten years ago at the Brent Pasig Art room with Jane, Rae, Missy, Natalya, Tina and Macky

2.Went to Rockeoke a few times. Above: Boogie with Monica singing Skid Row I think ;p
I believe this was me singing Like a Virgin at 2 in the morning! haha!
With Sarah and Banj before our rendition (me, sarah and monica) of Stay by Lisa Loeb
and the winner is....All the guys (banj, Mars, Stephen, Boogie, Marc and Jor) singing that 4 Non-blondes song.
Mio and Boogie on another Monday night singing Sweet Child o' mine by Guns n' Roses

3.Went Trick or Treating with Ananda in Loyola Grand Villas. She was sick a few days before Halloween, we were panicking na!
And my turn at night! Went to Into the Twilight at Embassy with Boogie and my girls
An angel, Catwoman, Gina the Luchador (in case you didnt know who it was haha), Karl Lagerfeld and a boxer
We switched places that night and went as each other ha-ha-ha.

4. Escaped to Boracay for a few days! We're both always out of town but never together so we decided to go away for a couple days.
All we did was eat. Manana, Kasbah (my favorite restaurant on the island) and Smoke. Burp!
I seriously love the beach. Obviously. hahaha.

5.Tagaytay for the weekend with Gina, Emilio and Ananda. We were checking out the church where they are going to get married at in January!
Ananda doing what she loves most. She already asked me for a horse for her next birthday. I'm in trouble.
Meanwhile, Gina and I were doing what WE love most--and it's not biking! haha

6.Chaperoned Ananda on her dates. Play dates that is ;p With Lucas
and with her love/hate friend Pio

7.Went out randomly. Here at Embassy with Sarah and Margaux for Banj's bday
With Bea at Cuisine...
Watched the much awaited movie TWILIGHT. I am a fan of the books. The movie did not do the 1st book justice. But then I remember Im not the target market and if I were 15 I would have been in Edward heaven!
Went to many events, launches and etc. Here at the DKNY event in Alchemy


8.Early Christmas dinners. REALLY early because Im leaving on December 1. Here at Vicky's house
And at my house last night with Ateneo girls. On the menu: Cheese and cold cuts, roast chicken, pizza, steak, lamb, macarons and chocolate cake. Oh my!

9.Had a garage sale (no we didn;t sell our children!) to unload of my too many clothes and stuff!

10.The very last Metrowear for 2008, at Edsa Shang Hotel. Here with the rest of the Metro staff minus Kat. boohoo.
With our Fashion Assistant Andrea. Getting ready to watch the show!

And that's all folks. I'm off to Australia for the next month starting Monday! Peace out!

MY CHRISTMAS WISH LIST

Dear Santa,

I think I've been pretty good this year.

1. A Canon G9 or G10 camera

2. A new ipod with lots and lots of memory. Maybe the ipod classic 120GB

3. A French Bulldog. White.

4. Books : Anthony Bourdain's books, and a bunch of Fashion books whose titles I can't recall right now.

5. iMac. I think it's time I also had a desktop computer.

6. I really really want my own place. Did you hear that Santa? haha.

Sydney in two weeks. With Boogie and Ananda. yay! Fun!

Why Fashionistas are Poor...

Fashion lovers always look have cute clothes. We scour the urban jungle, flea markets abroad and even the most obscure provincial ukay-ukays to score one of a kind pieces that start up conversations or that we know will work with anything in our closets, and live through trends. Being a fashionista doesn't necessarily mean following every little trend that gets featured in all major magazines each season, but finding your own personal style and letting the trends revolve around that style and not the other way around.

Being in love with clothes also means knowing when to let go-to get rid of the clutter (Why hello cardigan I have not used in 4 years and will probably never wear again. What are you still doing in my closet?) and make space for newer (or vintage!), but definitely better things to drape, wrap, button and zip unto our bodies.

That being said, I would like to invite you to my NEW BEGINNINGS GARAGE SALE, where I'll be unloading many of my pre-loved clothes, shoes, accessories, bags, unused and unopened makeup and fragrances for a fraction of their retail price, old magazines, books, children's clothes and toys and basically anything else I find myself no longer needing. Hopefully they will find a new and better life with you!

It will be on Sunday, November 16 and Sunday N0vember 23 (If there is anything left, which I hope is not the case so it would be better to come on the 16th ;p) from 10 am-6pm

Please text me at 09278142678 for the address or email me at ericaparedes@gmail.com

Hope to see you there! Peace Out!
