I Am Bourgeois

Spent Christmas Day in Manila with my Dado cousins and relatives, which we haven’t done in a while. After stuffing ourselves with food from Conti’s, lechon paella, and random goodies from Singapore, we went to a nearby park to burn off the heavy lunch we just ate camwhore.

My mom has a tradition where she buys me and my sister a new dress every Christmas. I originally bought a Betsy Johnson patchwork dress from eBay but when it finally arrived, the zip-up front refused to close over my boobs. :P So she paid for the Tsumori Chisato dress instead. To keep up with the dress’s colorful-print-on-black theme, I wore my froggy flats and everyday bag, both of which I got from ukay.

Me and my sister Marielle!

I love her hand-painted dress. She bought it at The Ramp.
