Winter in Manila

Around this time of year in California, I start to knit because it's nearing the holidays and I love/miss the cold weather in my small hometown in the central valley.  My A/C recently broke and a friend's dad came over to fix it for me.  I started to snap pics of my finished circle scarf and just randomly put my knit wear on, because A) I had to entertain myself somehow and B) I'm a huge dork.  The weather today is slightly cold and I really love the sea foam hues in my house.  I think the muted sunshine near the tree by my condominium is responsible for this.  Another random note, did you know that your A/C unit is probably FUCKING filthy?  Reminder to clean your filter.  I always forget because I don't have the luxury of a *yaya*/maid because I think it's so weird to have someone wait on you.

**Yaya is the Filipino version of a maid, but in my observation, they look like they stick around for a long time and become a second mother to some people.  They also happen to clean, cook and wash your stuff for you too. Who knew?< (Filipinos know Jason, Shit!)

Knit heart by one of my Favorite Etsy Stores YesJess  I think she still does custom work so hit her up if you want well made and beautiful knits :)

Circle Scarf and Dress by Me // Cardigan-GAP

I love how versatile circle scarfs can be.  I chose this beige yarn my parents sent me because I can't find decent yarn here.  If any of you guys know, hit this girl up!  Since I'm no Coco Rocha or Hyoni Kang, I used my dress form instead.  I can imagine a young, hipster girl wearing this outfit to an outdoor concert at Golden Gate park, or a date with the boy who works at the record store.

I love how chunky this is.  I feel so safe and if I ever suffer from whiplash while driving, At least I know I already have a neck brace handy.  Looking at this makes me want noodles.....or natto beans

If you want/or are just clinically simple, you can pretend to be a kangaroo and put stuff in the little pouch/sling it makes if you wear the scarf long. Kidding.  I really want to shoot this on a live model.  I'm thinking of an Asian Zooey Deschanel.

Meoki told me that I had to put my face on posts more often instead of food hahahaha.  So here you go.
I want to wear this to school, but I'm too pragmatic and haggard prone to actually pull through.  But I can just pretend at my almost Air Conditioned home right?

Any questions, comments, things you want to see or know?  Feel free and leave a comment down below and I'll do my absolute best to get back to you!

Holy Week...

....is like a lame version of spring break here.  I just turned 21 today and I don't feel any different.  Not an epic post for the first one but You have to start somewhere.  I had a birthday dinner that I wasn't expecting yesterday.  I was going to slouch about and do nothing maybe even do a little work.

We went to Shakeys pizza (I thought It only existed in south park wtf?)  Good ass chicken Ugh I want more. As usual I over ate.  Went to the local lesbian watering hole for school.  I wish we drank somewhere else.  Place had no air conditioning and it was filled with boring people.  Plus we turned in early.  I wasn't feeling my birthday this year or the year before that.  It always ends up being controlled by someone else so yeah

Stray cat that wandered into the mall when we were waiting in line.  

Limited menu at place my older brother was DYING to go to -__-

They bought soup and eggs and I have no idea why they posed with eggs.  Boys will be boys I guess.
