Itadakemasu! Going Japanese for Lunch! ^_^

They say that in life there's no such thing as a free lunch. I guess they just don't have friends who loves to cook!

I just can't live in a world without sushi!

A long time friend invited me to be his guest for their finals in Asian Culinary. The good news is that they are doing Japanese cuisine and all I have to do is show up looking all fancy. There's no catch just sushi!

Exhibit: Ann Pamintuan's Sculptures and Designs

After meeting my new classmates, I asked them if they want to walk with me to the Ayala MRT Station instead of taking a cab from school. I told them that if we walked around we may find something interesting along the way and fortunately my hunch was spot on.

Since Greenbelt is right around the corner from FIP Makati we were able to catch a display of Ann Pamintuan's works.

Going Bald: My Sister's Fight Against Cancer

Its been weeks since my last blog update and now I am back with a handful of stories to tell. Ironically, my last blog post was about what I wore when I joined a gameshow and now life decided to throw us a curve ball by giving my 12-year-old sister Stage 3 Cancer.

What I wore when I played The Million Peso Money Drop

It's been days since the episode where we played was aired on tv so I guess I can now share the clothes that I wore for that day.

with another hopeful contestant.

As seen on my previous post, I wore my Japanese inspired jumpsuit with a violet obi belt to complete the look.

My Million Peso Money Drop Look

Last Friday, I received a call from a coordinator of The Million Peso MoneyDrop. They informed me and my bff, Eljay Deldoc, that we are one of the chosen teams to play the game on tv. It’s going to be my first time to join a game show so I want to make a dress not only to make an impression but to also introduce myself as a fashion design student to the public.

Sewing Practice

After buying a hell lot of fabrics from our field trip, I sat in one corner and I realized that I still cannot translate a pattern into a real dress. Sure,  I created clothes without any patterns before but this time I wanted to complete something with the use of what I learned from our Basic Pattern Class.

The 3 hour dress!

Revamping Old Clothes

The other day as I was cleaning my table at school, one of my teachers asked me if I wanted to get an old top that they are about to throw away. It was a stretched shirt with ruffled lace sleeves with a big angel wing print in front. Apparently they only collected the embellishments and have no more use for it.

Can you see the threads sticking out?

Without skipping a beat, I said I wanted to have it.  I took that offer as a challenge on how I can transform that sad little shirt into something more interesting.
