I'm sporting a bigger frame.
I can't go on a diet 'coz I'm breastfeeding and I'm hungry all the freakin' time. And exercise is a no-no until I'm atleast 6months post partum because I'm still recovering from the CSop. And honestly, I don't wanna push it.
So right now, I am trying to get comfortable with my new body. This bigger frame. I am trying to work things out and trying to make my current closet work. I don't want to do a major wardrobe re-do because deep inside, I am still wishing that I'd be able to go back to my pre-pregnancy body in two weeks time. Not 2years nor 20years, please!
Vintage Top | Skirt: Maldita | Sandals: The Ramp | Earrings, Necklace, Cuff: Divisoria | Hot Pink Lippy: Victoria's SecretCurrently, my bestfriends are my comfy leggings, my stretch body con skirts. Oversized top or tops that are spacious on the tummy area and flats. I already gave away my heels. I just hope I was able to invest on more flats before getting knocked up instead of my heels coz right now, new shoes are not on my grocery list.
If there's one thing though that I realized is that, its actually okay to repeat clothes over and over and that people around you won't judge you. And also, I realized how great lipsticks are. I mean, my lipstick fairy godmother gave me lotsa and I've been using them everyday to add colour to my not so cute ensemble and honestly, they made me look like I exerted an effort in dressing up eventhough I only spent 5min tops. :)
And my hair! Oh gosh my hair! I can't wait for them to grow longer so I could finally have them fixed. I'm having a bad hair year already. Hahahahaha...
So there you go! I may not look my best now coz I'm chubbier but I feel like I am my best because honetly, I am prettier. Hahahahaha! My blog, my property, my right, my beliefs. Walang basagan ng trip.
Oh sha! I'm leaving you with this photo of me and my new peg.. Kalli! Papayat din ako katulad nya. Wait lang talaga!!!!

Hello there people! How’s your week? It’s Saturday tomorrow! Weekend! Oh how I love weekends. :) Unli-latch. Pumping just for the extra stash. No worries. And I get to kiss the little one all I want. Love love love weekends. Did I just say love weekends? Yeah! I love weekends. I. Love. It.
Anyway, here’s me post-partum. Kangaroo belly. Yummy thunder thighs. Strong big arms. Size 5 feet. I love it. :) Okay fine. I don’t really love the thunder thighs and big arms and flabby belly but I love my bigger feet. Hihihihi…
Now I have super limited outfit choices. Almost all of the stuff in my closet doesn’t fit me anymore. I just have a handful that I can squeeze in to. I am so afraid to buy ne clothes coz I have this hallucination that I’ll get back to my old size in a week’s time. Or may be two. Harhar!
Whoever says breastfeeding is the best slimming option, probably haven’t met me yet. Or maybe I’m just the exception to the rule. Lintek na buhay to.
I can’t go on a diet naman. Gigilitan ako ng leeg ng Tatay ng anak ko. But now, I am trying to just eat healthy. Replacing the extra rice with fruits or nuts or oats or milo. I would also munch on some salads c/o my friend Len. Ayos! I’ll try to shift to brown rice next week. Take note. TRY. I don’t want to force myself to all this dieting. I am kinda having a hard time with my pumping output, so I need comfort food. Sumaya manlang ako sa pagkain diba?!
Anyway, I still try to look my best despite the limited outfit options and the bigger frame. Ganyan talaga kaming mga fashionista. We can always look fab despite the circumstances. Andaaaaawww?!!!
Oh ho I miss this. I miss posing for you guys. I hope I could get back in shape soon.

I love that stolen shot c/o The Companion. Parang ang saya saya ko lang. :)
It was taken last Christmas (25Dec2013) at Seattle’s Best in Greenbelt 3. We were waiting for our movie so the boys and I decided to kill time at the coffee shop. I love the shop’s lighting. Lakas maka-ganda at maka fresh. So we also did a mini photo shoot. Parang timang lang. I’m still thinking if I’d do a separate blog entry for that or will just upload the photos on Facebook and save you, my dear readers, from the craziness.
I decided the wear something simple and comfy on Christmas Day. I noticed that plain black long tee (stretch of course) is my best friend. I can pair it with my leggings and my skirts without any fuzz. And they are comfy too. I am kinda hot lately (literally). So wearing comfortable clothes is a must for me. When I wore this black Mango Basic tee, nanghinayang talaga ako. I got it on sale kasi! I should have hoarded. And these basic tee will never go out of fashion. Preggers or not. Lintek! Wrong move ako dun. Now I have to wait for Mango’s end of season sale again. Actually, dun kasi ako talaga namimili ng mga basic items ko. I love the quality of the fabric that Mango uses. Tumatagal kasi talaga. As in years. Most of my Mango items have been with me for like 5years na. Luma na pero keri pa din. Naipangmo-mall ko pa!
Look at that huge baby bump!! :) That’s me on my 7th month! Let me just tell you that walking with those bump is no joke. Ang bigat na nya. Ang hirap mag balance, ang sakit sa balakang at likod at higit sa lahat, nakakapagod!! I still have to buy a couple of items for the baby so goodluck to me!

So how’s my look? Did you like it. I love thatt I don’t look huge on those photos kahit na mukha na akong Mojacko. 2 more months before I pop. Onting kembot na lang. I am also starting to go on a diet. Medyo nakalimutan ko ang “healthy lifestyle” nung holidays. Sarap naman kasi ng spaghetti ni Mila na pag Christmas at New Year ko lang natitikman.
I’ll go back to work na tomorrow. Yehey! I miss my lunch buddies. Gusto ko na makipag chismisan.

Hello 2014! :)
First post of the year and I’m so excited.
Let’s start with a #OOTD shall we?
This is what I wore on our company’s year end Party last December 5.
The theme is GALA. So we are expected to wear red-carpet worthy clothes. And I was like, I WILL NEVER EVER PULL A KIM K! Hahahahaha! Remember that epic floral dress she wore when she’s pregnant? The one that resembles a sofa? OMG!
Anyway, I was just supposed to wear this simple off-the-rack long dress from a maternity store that I saw a couple weeks before the party. But I’ve already reached my 3rd trimester without buying a single maternity item so I was really skeptical. And I’m thinking if it’s gonna worth it. I don’t want to spend on something I’ll wear once. As in just once! Hindi naman ako mayaman.
Good thing I was saved by this Maldita Dress. It’s not maternity but I got it 1-2 sizes larger than my normal size. The cut is just perfect and the design at the front is also perfect for the bump. Maybe this dress was meant for women who wants to hide their bulges hence that design on the tummy area. Thank you Fashion Goddess for this types of dresses.
I love that it’s one shouldered with a high-slit. It gave that perfect balance on the dress’ silhouette. The gold zipper at the front is also a nice detail.
Dress: Maldita | Strappy Flats: The Ramp | Huge Drop Earrings in Gold: from Issa | Bangles: from LenDecided to pair it with my nude sexy strappy flats I got from The Ramp. I can’t wear heels because The Companion will kill me and I wanna be comfy the entire night so I opted for nude flats to give the length I’ll be missing.
Kept my accessories to a minimum. Though I wore a huge drop earrings in gold and a bangle to match the zipper details of my dress. Also kept my make up simple. Just my BB cream, some nude eye shadow and a pale pink lipstick. I don’t wanna be flashy. My bump is a scene stealer already. Hahahahahahaha…
Here are some photos from that night…
I did the hair and make-up of these girls. :)
And here’s my best friend Erlie looking all fab! :)
How’s 2014 so far guys? I just spent the whole day sleeping. And eating all the left overs. But promise I’d go on a diet after the holidays. All healthy eating. Hahahahaha!
