But the important thing is that I'm back. So let me share to you what I have been wearing the past few days. I hope I don't bore you :)

The Fabulous Miroslava Duma

My friend Mich and I were exchanging text messages the other for a possible collab (naks!). We're thinking of putting up a business (w/c i will blog about soon), so while I was researching for 2013 fashion trends, I chanced upon Miroslava Duma and I instantly fell in love with her fashion sense.

Excerpts from WikiFashion:

"Miroslava Duma was an editor for Harper's Bazaar (Russia) ^[2] and now is a freelance writer for numerous publications such as OK Magazinee (Russia), Tatler, Glamour (Russia). ^[3] Miroslava Duma is the daughter of Vasilay Duma, a Russian senator. ^[4] She has become known as a fashion icon internationally, and has been photographed by Scott Schuman for The Sartorialist and Garance Dore. ^[5]

Some of Miraslava's favourite designers include, Miu Miu, YSL, Lanvin, Alexander Wangand Prada. Miroslava is also the founder of charity, Mira's Planet.

Miroslava Duma gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in October 2010

My 24 year old self's thoughts on being pregnant

As I was browsing thru my old multiply account, and I stumbled on this..

5 months pregnant

Heartburn. Swollen ankles. Nausea. Backaches. Constipation. Varicose Veins. Blah blah blah.
the cover of any parenting magazine and you’ll see a list of all the horrible ailments that strike when you are pregnant. Read those articles and you’ll wonder why anyone would ever have a child! But in my book, those things are all just minor bumps in the road along a fabulously exciting, rewarding and amusing ride! When you think about it, there are some really great things about being pregnant.

Woo hoo! No more sucking in your stomach to look thinner. Now is the one time when it’s OK to have a nice round belly. Relax that gut! And you cannot tell me maternity jeans aren’t more comfortable than regular jeans. I’ll take those wide expanses of soft belly panel fabric over button or zip fly jeans any day!

Every time I feel the baby kick inside of me, I am overcome with this intense feeling of awe and wonder. I cannot believe it. We did this. My husband and I have created a new life that is growing inside of me. By ourselves. How cool is that? Sure, sometimes it’s totally freaky and you just want the alien creature to stop squirming around inside of you, but most days it is the greatest thing going.
Finally, I am eternally thankful and grateful that I am able to be pregnant. So many women have a hard time getting pregnant while others cannot have children at all. When I think about how lucky I am to even carry this child, all those other minor pregnancy annoyances like heartburn and hemorrhoids seem so ridiculous. I am blessed to have this child and I am going to enjoy this pregnancy (and uninterrupted sleep) for the next few months!

My week in pictures

That Look

Different street styles from all over the world. 

Here in the Philippines, when the "everyday" people see you wearing this in the mall, school, park or grocery, they give you that "LOOK". That kind of weird look w/c really annoys me. It doesn't mean that just because you woke up one day and felt like wearing whatever mood you have does not make you weird or whatever word there is to describe you. but of course, I still do believe in dressing for the occasion. 

Ciao.
