Brrr...cold weather...

I'm still on internship and rarely get to dress up which explains the lack of day-to-day outfit posts. As soon as I get out of it, I'll start racking them up.

As for taking so long to post another entry...there's the busy schedule to blame. Weekdays, I'm often on internship from as early as 7 in the morning to late in the afternoon at 5. In the weeknights, I prepare lesson plans, visual aids/teaching aids and other school requirements. I'm due to edit journalism (news)-heavy articles sometime this month and early next month. I live a stressful life. Oh, yes, I do!

Brrr...the weather's cold today. Although the sun's shining high up, the sky's still cloudy giving the city a gloomy setting. Anyhow, it's a Sunday and I have to be in school for student publication work and the mood set by cloudy skies gives me the perfect excuse to dress some basics in the closet with overcoats---jackets, coats, whatever. Dressing up in anything with minimal sleeves won't do with this kind of weather we have at the moment.

Been raining for two days straight now. Word is there's a storm brewing. I'm not sure where it is now.

for the cold, -ber months by crysta17 featuring 3.1 Phillip Lim dresses

September, for the Philippines, spells cold weather. Winds, in the early morning and in the early to late evening, have become cold recently. And at times like these, I find myself in the coats, jackets and sweaters section of thrift and boutiques. Perhaps it's my mammalian instincts telling me to prepare for the onslaught of cold -ber months' winds.

Typhoon Ondoy struck some areas of the National Capital Region and its neighboring provinces hard up north (Luzon). He came by late last week---and if I'm not mistaken it was a Saturday---and left behind heavily flooded streets where only rooftops and the second or third floors up of establishments could only be seen. As the water slowly subsides, the streets, establishments and residences are revealed to be covered in mud and in complete disorder. Cagayan de Oro experienced the same thing last December and early January this year. I have yet to extend help. :)
