The Shirt. I have long been looking for that perfect white shirt. Soft cottony fabric, not too tight, and not too plungy. Found this. Not exactly perfect but does just fine. I'm still waiting for that H&M white tee to mysteriously appear in my closet!

EatOuts: Nita's Place

Location: Talisayan, Misamis Oriental
Date of Visit: August 1, 2010

July 31 was our anniversary. to up the celebration, E and I decided to go road tripping East of our town the next morning. Talisayan is about an hour and a half drive so we left half past nine. It was a sunday and E was in his usual chirpy behavior while driving :)

We arrived in Nita's Place in time for lunch and went directly to their pool of seafoods. As suggested by the resto, we opted for a chunk of barracuda for SuTuKil and half a kilo of prawns for adobo. STK for PHP240.00 and the shrimps for PHP160.00. Ain't that cheap? It can feed 3-4 persons already...But not with our appetite, i guess. We ordered a platter of rice and a litre of coke and, well, binged? Our total bill was only a little over 500 and we got to take out the tinola (we don't like to waste).

Nita's Place is very quaint. It looks like your ordinary karinderia except it's on stilts, the food is exceptional, and it's far far from the city buzz. Tourists come here for a quick seafood fix especially the ones going to Camiguin Island (it's only 5mins aways from Balingoan port) or travelling farther east.

We then had our dessert in Mantangale Alibuag Dive resort located nearby. It's highly suggested that you drop by here if you're not going anywhere but Nita's Place. it's quite far so might as well get your gas's worth. Entrance to the resort is PHP100(consumable) and you get to enjoy its view and isolation. It has white sand beach and offers the usual water sports. On our visit, we went kayaking for PHP400/hr.

The prices are there, start making your budget now :)

LookBook: Puffed-up

Dress: Kamiseta
Shoes: Prima Donna
Accesories: Julia's Closet for earrings and charm bracelet and Fossil for watch (men's)

The dress. i bought it in 2006 in Kamiseta of SM Cebu when i was living and working there. Priced at 1,4++. I dressed differently back then. I was more comfortable with jeans and shirts and the occasional shorts and denim micro mini skirt. but not dresses. So this white puffy dress was stored, borrowed(!!!), and never worn by me until a couple of months ago. i did try to wear it a dozen times, always remembering the price and must therefore get my due. only to take it off and pull on the usual jeans and shirts. when can i wear this again? it's bloody expensive.

LookBook: The Rookie

i'm very fascinated with clothes and accesories only lately. i mean, i have been years ago but was constricted by someone who felt otherwise. after the riddance, i felt inspired and all creative mixing and matching old and new clothes in my slightly cramped closet. my rewards are confidence and commendation by people whose opinion matter most.

since i've always thought about creating a thematic blog, why not create my own look book? in that way, i can pour out my shrills in writing and see how much i've progressed.
