Monday Blues Solved by a Little Black Dress

Monday is a particularly moody day for me. I am always a bit down when returning to work. Not that I hate what I'm doing (but do I like it? =), I just thought it's natural especially after a fun and rested weekend. Oh I know you feel the same way. Lol.

So when I feel too lazy to put some effort into my look (happens mostly on Mondays), and I feel at a loss for what to wear (happens most of the time), and still want to keep it safe, I wear my LBD. It's simplicity exudes sophistication and who doesn't want that?

Touted as the must-have clothing item for women - the faithful and iconic LBD. A little black dress is something we can't live without. It's perfect for day or night, and almost every occasion. It's stylish. It's classic. It's incredibly versatile. And most of all, it’s a great concealer! If I have 'areas I’d like to camouflage' (oh I have a lot), then the LBD is my go-to outfit.

Most LBDs do not need styling since it's classy on its own, particularly this one from Forever 21. I love the length and it's white details took it to the next level and actually eliminated the need for a pearl necklace.

And because of the simplicity of this dress, the face becomes the center of attention, and so OMG! Little did I know that! :)

Since little black dresses could basically stand on their own, a few bangles would have to do. 

I'm glad to have found this pair of shoes from Forever 21 and they have white details too! Isn't it cute that it perfectly matches my little black dress?

So there! Fight the ill effects of Monday blues and trust the little black dress. 

Luis Starts to Write - "All About My Life"

Here's Luis' 3rd (unedited) blog post. You will see omission of some letters though. You will understand why.

All About My Life

First, I want to talk about myself. My hobbies are eating, watching tv, chatting with my friends, and play gadgets. 

Sometimes, I am an annoying orange to my friends. 

My favorite food is spareribs. It tastes so good! I would recommend it to others. Try it!

My family and friends say that I am a smartypants. But my gaming skills are over 900 gazillions. A nerd and a geek are adjectives that describe me very well. 

Now, I am going to talk about my family, friends, loved ones, enemies, and my cousins.

My mom is a loving and caring mother. Everyday, my mom and I study at the 3rd floor of my house even though it's very late. 

She also gives me my vitamins everyday and prepares my milk every night before I sleep.

My grandfather is the head of the family. Even though he's strict, he still brings me to school every day. My grandmother is really loving. Before, she used to call me 'abutongtong'. But now, I seldom hear her call me that. Maybe because I have grown big for it already. The best adjective I could use to describe her is that she is really loving.
Tita Gi, is someone very kind and she's the friendliest of all. She's very different from her husband, Tito Jocas. But something strange happened. Tito Jocas became better, kinder and friendlier. Next is Papa Man and Tata. They used to live with us but now they don't anymore. I miss them and I want them to be around all the time.

One of my friends is Miguel. He's a nerd and a geek just like me. We both have the same likes. Next is Renz, Even though he's sensitive most of the times, he's still a good friend. We also play this game called "Total War" which the both of us invented on our drawing books. We also love chatting with each other about a lot of different stuff. One of my enemies is J____. Before we were good friends, and he was even in my "Total War" Group (or club) before! But now, he always annoys me. He tells me to the GLC even if I only did a minor thing or nothing at all! Next is L____ and T_____. They keep shouting at me but of course, I always fight back. 

Ate Aly and Ate Sofi are two of my cousins. I'm jealous of their friendship. Next, Cheska is my second favorite cousin. We spend most of the time playing. And lastly, Joachim who is my favorite cousin. Even though he's only 3, we always wrestle each other. Hardcore! I almost forgot Rafa, the youngest in the family. Obviously I can't play with her yet because she's still young and I might hurt her.

That's all I have to say. I love my life!

Till his next...
