<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FqnxR9d6hi4/UXjdlvH-YqI/AAAAAAAAA1Y/AmFEnxh-FvY/s1600/es+cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FqnxR9d6hi4/UXjdlvH-YqI/AAAAAAAAA1Y/AmFEnxh-FvY/s1600/es+cover.jpg" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Since I love prints and colors, aztec prints are perfect for me! Here is an idea to update an old pair of denim short! <br />
<br />
1. Choose a fabric of your choice, preferably with a thick texture for better support<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qwtAwjswQVI/UXjdlwP1WOI/AAAAAAAAA1g/JgDylKGVD_g/s1600/es1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qwtAwjswQVI/UXjdlwP1WOI/AAAAAAAAA1g/JgDylKGVD_g/s1600/es1.jpg" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
2. Measure out the fabric onto the parts where you want to place the print. I placed mine on the right leg, top left pocket and right back pocket. Make sure to leave an extra inch to sew the hem. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-adUEj0sCvig/UXjdlUEckgI/AAAAAAAAA1U/xuipsGq3BY4/s1600/es2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-adUEj0sCvig/UXjdlUEckgI/AAAAAAAAA1U/xuipsGq3BY4/s1600/es2.jpg" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
3. Pin the printed fabric to the shorts using dress pins. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_C0IHUcIkGs/UXjdmbADcaI/AAAAAAAAA1o/DLJ6EDyIouA/s1600/es3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_C0IHUcIkGs/UXjdmbADcaI/AAAAAAAAA1o/DLJ6EDyIouA/s1600/es3.jpg" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
4. Sew using a machine or hand stitch. I had to hand stitch some of the areas, particularly the pocket area and the zipper line. Then, you should get something like this! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
5. Pair with a simple tee :)<br />
<br />

<br />
I apologize for the extremely late post! I have been wanting to share DIY videos but something is wrong with my Windows Moviemaker and I can't seem to find a good video maker similar to it :/<br />
<br />
Plus, I am thinking of giving my blog a makeover! Since this template has some errors to it.<br />
<br />
It is summer now where I live, at 35 degrees Celsius! Crazy summer heat is making me very lazy! <br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Py4PXlhGoCs/UJKKyrOq95I/AAAAAAAAAyM/Xh8xJU1PEQg/s1600/s13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="526" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Py4PXlhGoCs/UJKKyrOq95I/AAAAAAAAAyM/Xh8xJU1PEQg/s640/s13.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I saw this exact top at H&M HK on sale, but even if it was on sale, I still did not buy it. Why buy if you can make one for free?? For this DIY, I used my brother's old shirt which had a rock n roll skull print in the front. All other materials needed are scissors, marker/chalk and a skull print-out. I had to shoot this indoors since its been raining for days here in Manila. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sd-CQL9pXgA/UJKBsDLGw3I/AAAAAAAAAwM/7NLzrboIQUM/s1600/s1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sd-CQL9pXgA/UJKBsDLGw3I/AAAAAAAAAwM/7NLzrboIQUM/s640/s1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
1. Grab an old shirt, if its a big shirt, then follow the steps below. If you already have a tank ready, skip the 3 steps below. Get your scissors, skulls print-out and fabric marker/chalk ready.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dRqUi_Kgzts/UJKBvm5FmSI/AAAAAAAAAws/Jah5-ltOifM/s1600/s2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dRqUi_Kgzts/UJKBvm5FmSI/AAAAAAAAAws/Jah5-ltOifM/s640/s2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Lay down the shirt flat on a surface and make sure that the sides are on the seams. Cut off the sleeves of the shirt. I would suggest to cut a few inches below the sleeve so you don't end up with a large sleeve hole. It is best to try on the shirt after cutting the sleeves off so you can adjust it accordingly to your liking. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XYx7Tug9RI4/UJKBwavgNSI/AAAAAAAAAw0/PoX03BffdKE/s1600/s3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XYx7Tug9RI4/UJKBwavgNSI/AAAAAAAAAw0/PoX03BffdKE/s640/s3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
3. Fold your shirt halfway vertically. Cut off the neckline, again, just keep it a few inches below the seam. You can always cut more when you need to but once you cut too much off, its harder to fix it. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xhgefMtLcTQ/UJKBxgpfFyI/AAAAAAAAAw8/Q7CSdVRMC8k/s1600/s4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xhgefMtLcTQ/UJKBxgpfFyI/AAAAAAAAAw8/Q7CSdVRMC8k/s640/s4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
4. Cut off the bottom of the shirt to shorten the length.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xA3-jd9Js64/UJKBzVzKdZI/AAAAAAAAAxM/RRTMxflzn6I/s1600/s6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xA3-jd9Js64/UJKBzVzKdZI/AAAAAAAAAxM/RRTMxflzn6I/s640/s6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
5. Place the back of the shirt flat on a surface. Get your marker and begin to draw the cut-outs of the skull using the sample as a guide. Don't worry if you cannot draw, what's great about this DIY is that it does not have to look perfect. I am very poor at drawing myself so I'm sure you can do it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XUxhx8j7Ir0/UJfGrIl-3WI/AAAAAAAAAy0/sbK2UvdjwJQ/s1600/s7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XUxhx8j7Ir0/UJfGrIl-3WI/AAAAAAAAAy0/sbK2UvdjwJQ/s640/s7.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5UHJWoiijb8/UJKB0AyEApI/AAAAAAAAAxU/Y5dVrDUum6Q/s1600/s7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div>
6. Once you have your drawings, you are ready to CUT! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YBTyeiuPzQU/UJKB1A0E8gI/AAAAAAAAAxc/vLmsL9KAZ0A/s1600/s8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YBTyeiuPzQU/UJKB1A0E8gI/AAAAAAAAAxc/vLmsL9KAZ0A/s640/s8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
7. I started with the eye area and made adjustments with the cut-outs as I go along. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CL1OmgvrL3c/UJKB3MxSygI/AAAAAAAAAxk/721KYmd1yRg/s1600/s9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CL1OmgvrL3c/UJKB3MxSygI/AAAAAAAAAxk/721KYmd1yRg/s640/s9.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
8. Once you have all the cut-outs, it will turn out something like this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xA3-jd9Js64/UJKBzVzKdZI/AAAAAAAAAxM/RRTMxflzn6I/s1600/s6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Eca5GfmQqNo/UJKBuuwGqDI/AAAAAAAAAwk/ahrnY-VI5nc/s1600/s12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Eca5GfmQqNo/UJKBuuwGqDI/AAAAAAAAAwk/ahrnY-VI5nc/s640/s12.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
You have the option of wearing it alone with a bra only but I am quite conservative so I would wear mine with a lace camisole under, still keeping a hint of skin! :P<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Here are some of my hauls from Hong Kong, which I separated into Beauty, hair, skin care and makeup. And the last few photos are bags purchased from a bazaar. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<br />
Here is my entire beauty haul (above photo) from stores such as <b>Sasa, Bonjour</b>, <b>Mannings</b> and <b>Colormix</b> which are located at Causeway bay and <b>Jusco </b>at Mongkok. I thought I would have ended up getting more items but I was really able to stop myself from grabbing everything I see and stuck with the things I need. It was really overwhelming to shop at these stores! There's just so much to try out :D Also, I noticed that the prices of the items are different at each store, so it is best to check out the prices before purchasing.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aside from beauty hauls, I also bought myself new bags! All of the bags were purchased at <b>Jardine's Bazaar</b>, Causeway Bay. I actually got myself only 3 bags but I will also show you the ones I got for my mom and sister. I have been looking for a brown satchel backpack for the longest time! I was about to buy a black one from Timesquare that was more expensive and its a good thing I didn't get it since I found the perfect one at a better price (HKD150) ! The one on the right is a simple beige sling bag with boho cut-out details. I love sling bags and I usually it on the weekends since its light to carry around and hands-free. This was only HKD130. </div>
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Animal printed totes for my mom (left) and sister (right). I really loved the taupe color and I thought it would suit my mom but it seemed like she liked the one for my sister instead. The totes kinda resemble a Phillip Lim bag eh?</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was debating whether to get this simple black and gold tote or not and finally gave in at the last moment. This was the priciest among all the bags I purchased but it was kind of worth it since the material is of good quality. </div>
<br />
Phew! Finally done with my travel series! Only a few days left for October and I still want to post a DIY entry before the month ends! I will try my best to squeeze it for <b>Halloween</b>! :D<br />

Our day started early at 9am and ended at 12am!! Yes, poor feet..my feet felt very numb at the end of the trip and my (big) toes were bruised because of the extreme walking. I will have to wait for months for it grow out...Moving on, here is a walk through of our day. <br />

Breakfast at this Chinese place that my cousin chose somewhere at Causeway Bay. I have no idea what the name of the restaurant is but the food was not spectacular. <br />

First dibs on the iPhone5!! Kidding! This was a sample handset at one of the telecom stores. They did not sell handsets alone but bundled plans. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">We grabbed some puddings from <b>Milk Top Pudding</b>, located at the basement level (grocery area) of <b>Sogo in Causeway Bay</b>. From L-R, Milk Tea Pudding, Cookies and Cream and Original Milk Pudding. I ordered the Milk Tea Pudding, it was smooth and tasted just like milk tea, not too sweet. I loved the bottle so much that I even brought it home with me. I might make a DIY out of it but I am not so sure what exactly yet.</div><br />

<b>Portuguese Egg Tarts</b>! I wish I could have bought more but I did not want to carry it with me the entire day. It may have crumbled with all the walking we did that day. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Fried Pigeon</b>. Whenever we eat at Chinese restaurants with the lazy susans, I always dig in when pigeons are served, so I was really excited to try this. The photo above is already 2 orders of pigeon, the serving is small but I think that's what makes it good. I could easily eat the entire plate, with the lemon and salt sprinkled all over..*drools*. An order of pigeon costs about HKD35. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">We walked and shopped around Tsim Sha Tsui after lunch. I have to say, there's soo many clothing shops! Not the luxury shops but the side with smaller clothing stores, where <b>Cotton-On</b> is located. Cotton-On was HUGE! About 4 floors I think. Cotton-On recently opened here in Manila and its so much smaller when compared to HK. Plus, the items for sale in HK are actually the regular priced items in Manila! That is how behind the items are. Right beside Cotton-On is an alley filled with food stalls. I chose the stall with a long line, selling spicy fishballs for only HKD10. Tip to travelers, go with the flow, try out food stalls/stores with the longest line. It usually means its one of the best locally. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">We decided to have dinner at <b>Wah Kee Snacks</b>, a food stall located at <b>Hart Avenue, Tsim Sha Tsui</b>. Since there was no tables, we ordered for take out and brought it back to the hostel. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Maxibon </b>for dessert, purchased from Wellcome supermarket located right below our hostel. I wished they brought Maxibon back in Manila.

Overall, we enjoyed our day at Ocean Park. The weather cooperated, being sunny all day despite the weather forecast of rain. We were able to ride almost all of the rides without the long lines. Lines were longer towards the afternoon and we were finish with the rides already by then. This is also why I have few pictures of the rides, we were rushing from one ride to another just to get into the next batch. </div>

This year's international destination is <b>Hong Kong</b>. Many people may think of Hong Kong as a not so foreign country since its only an hour (plane) ride away, but to me, any travel out of the country is a vacation and a cultural adventure. The last time I traveled to Hong Kong was more than 10 years when I was a kid, so technically this was like my first time since I did not remember anything back then. I make it a point to travel internationally once a year because I think a vacation is healthy (plus this is all that I can afford), and I am starting with Asian countries. This was also my first time traveling with my cousins alone and in a group of 10. I was so eager about this trip that I made an itinerary with all the best places to eat as shared by locals on <a href="http://www.openrice.com/">www.openrice.com. </a></div>

My brother ordered <b>Nanking Beef </b>and I wished I ordered this instead. I believe that this is <b>the dish</b> that everyone must try! The beef is flavorful and tender, quite oily but that's what you call Chinese food :) Prices of each dish ranges from HKD 40-60.<br />

We had an early dinner at <b>Tim Ho Wan</b>, Central. Tim Ho Wan is rated by locals as the best dimsum in Hong Kong which is why we had to try it. The restaurant still had a line even when we were there early. Each dish cost about HKD20 and below.<br />
<br />
<b>Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaves</b>, the only rice offered in the menu.<br />

I just wanted to share a DIY made by cousin, <b>spike leggings</b>. I would describe her style as rocker-chic since she is always wearing black, spikes and boots. This is a simple and quick way to revamp your old black leggings. All you need are spikes, black leggings, needle and thread. </div>

My cousin used a silver spike bracelet (plastic), cut it apart and sewn it onto the sides of the leggings. Spikes made out of plastic are advised since leggings are light-weight materials.</div>

I have actually seen these leggings being sold at stores and it would be a way cheaper alternative to create your own! I have also seen leggings with spikes on the knees, which seems dangerous to me. Imagine tripping and falling to your knees while wearing it :O but if its made of plastic, I am guessing it would not hurt :P<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since October is coming up, I decided to make a DIY related to the rosary month, <b>Rosary Bracelets or aka Pulseras Decenarios</b>. These pulseras decenarios are very easy to make and the materials can be found at any ribbon or craft store. The bracelets are said to bring luck and each color symbolizes a certain trait/meaning. Some colors and meanings below:</div>
<br />
<b>White: </b>Friendship, Purity;<br />
<b>Green:</b> Health, Ambition, Go-Getter;<br />
<b>Yellow:</b> Energy, Increase Creativity;<br />
<b>Red:</b> Love, Passion, Courage;<br />
<b>Pink: </b>Consolation, Romance;<br />
<b>Brown: </b>Concentration, Stability, Strength ;<br />
<b>Orange: </b>Success, Attraction, Happiness;<br />
<b>Light Blue:</b> Reconciliation, Health, Tranquility;<br />
<b>Dark Blue: </b>(Self) Confidence, Knowledge;<br />
<b>Purple:</b> Inner Strength, Control, Luxury<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Pulseras Decenarios </b>are worn by celebrities such as Shakira and has become a fashion statement as well. I love how colorful they are and how you can stack it up and mix and match it with other bracelets. I have been loving the arm party trend and if you follow me on instagram (@jteng), you will see that I post a lot of my arm candy :) </div>

For this diy, I decided to make a video tutorial since it is easier to teach this way. I have poor video editing skills and some parts lack focus, so pardon the video! I hope to improve my skills as I continue. Check out the video tutorial below!<br />

I am not sure if the music really fits the tutorial but I chose this for its upbeat music heee. <br />

With the Korean wave in Manila, Korean BBQ restaurants have also been sprouting everywhere. Most of which are small restaurants owned by Koreans themselves, so expect authentic Korean cuisine! Among the Korean BBQ restaurants that I've tried, <b>Makchang</b> would be the best and worth every peso. I have tried Korean BBQ in Korea and it was very expensive, apparently, meat is expensive in Korea. One order of meat was around P1,200 pesos whereas here you can order one for as low as P250. A very big price difference but with the same satisfying taste. <b>Makchang</b> is located right across the street from Robinsons Department Store, Robinsons Place Manila. It is a small somewhat dingy place similar as to what you see on Korean dramas. </div>

The menu is simple, consisting of only 11 dishes and is posted on the wall. I ordered my favorite, <i>Pork Galbi</i> since its soft and juicy even without the fats.<br />

Unlimited servings of banchan (appetizers) includes kimchi, leek kimchi, garlic and ssam jang (bean paste). One of the reasons why I love this place is the leek kimchi! Its soo good and I always have this refilled. This is the only place I know that serves this. Their kimchi is also a thumbs up! Its fresh, slightly crunchy and the sweet-sour fermentation taste is balanced perfectly. Other Korean restaurants serve kimchi that tastes like paper and is usually overpowering. </div>

Servings of very fresh green lettuce and mint leaves, strips of sweet potato and rice, which is an additional side order. I was opting to abstain from rice, but I could not resist having rice with this meal! </div>

Wrap and place the entire the lettuce in your mouth. I am not sure if this is the correct way of eating Korean Bbq but this is the way I eat mine. Sometimes I will have galbi and rice or add rice into the wrap.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b> </b>I was about to toss this pair of old faded black shorts when I came across Youtube videos of lace shorts and decided to recreate it. I have been meaning to buy a pair of lace shorts in either cream or off-white color but this black pair will do for now :) If you will be making this, I would suggest to choose a lace with a wider width of around 2 inches. That way you would not need to create a lot of layers like mine! My lace had a width of about 1 inch and I ran out of lace halfway through the process! I chose this lace because of the scallop detail which gives it an overall texture. Check out the steps below.</div>
<br />
<b>Materials Needed:</b><br />
1. Old pair of shorts (Mine is super faded!)<br />
2.Yards of lace trim (this will depend on the width of the lace)<br />
3. Pins<br />
4. Scissors<br />
5. Needles or Sewing Machine<br />
6. Thread<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1. Layout and measure the lace onto your shorts. I started from the bottom to top. Leave half an inch on each end and fold it inside. This will prevent the trim from fraying. Use pins to secure the placement of the lace trim. </div>

2. Continue layering the lace trim with the design that you want. I wanted it to be full lace all the way to the top so I cut off the belt hooks and sewn the pockets in. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. For the back, I added trim to the pockets and waist. Again, I removed the belt hooks and buttons. I used only 2 layers for each part. I wanted to include the bottom but I ran out of lace. The pockets were hand-stitched since I wanted to keep the pockets open. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
4. Sew the lace trim with a sewing machine or with a needle and thread. Sewing the middle part of the shorts was difficult and I had to hand-stitch the part towards the zipper. Keep on sewing and sewing..until you have sewn all layers! Be patient and do it part by part. </div>

<br />
6. And this is how the front turned out :) I am happy with the result despite that it took me almost a week to complete. I did one part per day and it just gets more exciting towards the end when you see the final product :)<br />
<br />

I will most probably make another one in cream, using a WIDER width of lace! I used about 11 yards of lace for entire shorts heee :)</div>

It was a holiday last Monday so me and my friends decided to try <b>Mad Mark's</b>, a MAN sandwich place offering homemade ice cream as well. It is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant along Kapitolyo, right beside Thai Dara. I am a big fan of cheese steak type of sandwiches and there are not a lot of places offering this, plus they have homemade ice cream in flavors such as Dark Roast Sumatra and Javan Hot Chocolate!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is also available in a smaller serving, you can order the<i> just sandwich </i>version you prefer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love how generous the fillings were, the beef, onions and cheese fall out after each bite. The Angus beef was tender, tasty and slightly peppery. I would have preferred for the bread to be more toasty though so you get a "crunchy" bite. </div>

Cajun fries served with a pesto herb sauce topped with lots of REAL Parmesan cheese! The Parmesan cheese was generously served but the herb was much less. Nonetheless, its still fries! </div>

Now onto my favorite meal, <b>dessert</b>!<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was difficult to decide which flavors to choose but ended up ordering <b>Half-baked Magadascar</b>, <i>Magadascar Vanilla Bean with half-baked cookie dough</i> and <b>Javan Hot Chocolate</b>, <i>Deep, rounded chocolate flavor attributed to the Cocoa grown in Java. </i>Two scoops of ice cream cost P98. The Half-baked Magadascar was so-so and I would have preferred for the cookie dough to be chewy since it tasted more like cookie pieces but I love the Javan Hot Chocolate! Its rich and bittersweet with an aftertaste that makes you crave for more. Other interesting flavors available are Banana Foster, Cavendish Chip, Apple and Saigon Cinnamon and Salted Sumatra. Definitely a must try for ice cream lovers! <3</div>

I think I will make this Instagram compilation post a month-end sort of thing, just to keep posts coming in and to remember how I spent the month. I can't believe its the end of August already and the BER months are nearing! I will try to post one more DIY before the month ends. I am SO not meeting my monthly post quotas..</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Its been so long since my last post! I have been very busy the entire July plus I also encountered camera troubles during the diy so pardon the poor photos!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I came across this diy fringe clutch from <a href="http://www.teenvogue.com/fashion/diy/2012-04/fringe-clutch">teenvogue.com</a> and decided it would be the perfect diy for the fringe trend. I am not not a clutch person since I can be clumsy and forgetful at times but I am open to trying out new things (one of my goals for 2012). Teenvogue used multi-colored fringes on a black clutch but I decided to stick to a monochrome tone in orange. Check out steps below! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
MATERIALS:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1. Plain clutch</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2. 3 meters of fringe (depends on the size of your clutch)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3. Glue gun</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
4. Super glue</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
5. Ruler</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
6. Scissors </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
7. Marker</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FNlu8RBbcTk/UCpujJ8iwfI/AAAAAAAAAbw/OReBilYz_s0/s1600/f10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="481" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FNlu8RBbcTk/UCpujJ8iwfI/AAAAAAAAAbw/OReBilYz_s0/s640/f10.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
1. Lay out the fringe on the clutch and measure out the spacing you want for each line. Mine measured about 1.7 inches. Place markings on each spacing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YUMDq2kS3-o/UCO7lN5HnrI/AAAAAAAAAZs/sgNFlsD8pds/s1600/fb4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YUMDq2kS3-o/UCO7lN5HnrI/AAAAAAAAAZs/sgNFlsD8pds/s640/fb4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
2. Use a ruler to draw horizontal lines. (The small lines on the right were mistakes in measurement :P) <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3. If you have never used fringes before like me, you will find out that once you cut the fringe, it will immediately fray. Make sure to secure the edges of the fringe by gluing a piece over to the back with super glue. This will prevent the fringe from fraying.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
4. Start from the bottom. Place hot glue on the fringe and paste onto the horizontal lines. Make sure to do this by parts or else the glue will not stick.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
5. Continue until you have completed each line :)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I recently bought ethnic-printed fabrics and I wanted to use it for my next DIY, iPhone case. I have been wanting to change my case for a while now so I decided that this was the perfect opportunity to combine the two. I was not even sure if this would work but it did! and I am happy as to how it turned out. If you want to know how I made this, scroll down below for the steps. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SlAqkx4nUUQ/T_OoDj7numI/AAAAAAAAAXw/qwjxko_Rr-A/s1600/ip1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SlAqkx4nUUQ/T_OoDj7numI/AAAAAAAAAXw/qwjxko_Rr-A/s1600/ip1.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
1. The first step is to cut out the area of the fabric that you want to use. Make sure that there is at least 1 inch extra fabric around the case. Next, lay out the casing over the fabric and trace the camera hole and side buttons with pencil. Cut out the holes using scissors. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aa0UxbTYNYQ/T_OoF3I7SZI/AAAAAAAAAX4/1dANtQSRhEY/s1600/ip2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aa0UxbTYNYQ/T_OoF3I7SZI/AAAAAAAAAX4/1dANtQSRhEY/s1600/ip2.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2. Prepare your glue mixture. Mix 3:1 glue to water ratio.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3. Brush the glue mixture over the casing </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
4. Place the fabric over the casing and brush over with glue.<br />
5. Tape down the edges of the fabric onto the inside of the casing. Brush glue over the sides twice.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
6. Let the case dry overnight.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
7. Use scissors to trim off the excess fabric.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">8. Brush a layer of clear nail polish for "varnish". I did not have any varnish or clear spray on hand so I used clear nail polish instead which works just as well ! <i>*Make it work*</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GT3g1QghCmI/T_Zx6G13-AI/AAAAAAAAAYk/uZM_KxJ25jA/s1600/ip6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="377" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GT3g1QghCmI/T_Zx6G13-AI/AAAAAAAAAYk/uZM_KxJ25jA/s640/ip6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
9. Let it completely dry for a few hours. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mgQfDrnakWs/T_axmThRUpI/AAAAAAAAAZA/auWnVdcGUUo/s1600/ip8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="429" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mgQfDrnakWs/T_axmThRUpI/AAAAAAAAAZA/auWnVdcGUUo/s640/ip8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The case smelled like glue + polish for the first 2 days but disappeared right after. I would advise those who will be making this to use fabrics with a more sturdy texture. I don't think fabrics such as silk or satin will hold on to the case. <i>Thats it!</i> :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
You could also just glue pearls or fancy stickers onto the casing :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Here is one of my DIYs for the Ombre trend, <b>Bleached Ombre Shorts </b>( I have another DIY in mind that I hope to do this month). I have been seeing a lot these shorts at F21 and they cost about P700-900 which is way above my budget for a pair of trendy shorts. Luckily I found this old pair at the back of my closet while cleaning out stuff for the garage sale. It was perfect for this DIY! See steps below:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Materials:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1. Old denim shorts</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2. Bleach</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3. Basin</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
4. Gloves</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
5. Laundry soap</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hSQAFULwT08/T9S0kLstSuI/AAAAAAAAAWk/Xe-rtsjVWes/s1600/bleached01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hSQAFULwT08/T9S0kLstSuI/AAAAAAAAAWk/Xe-rtsjVWes/s1600/bleached01.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Please <b>WEAR GLOVES FOR SAFETY</b>! Don't be like me who was too excited to not find a pair of gloves. Don't worry though, I made sure that I did not touch the bleach with my bare hands. First step is to pour bleach into your basin, best to use white or transparent ones so that the basin doesn't get bleached as well. I poured about a cup full of pure bleach since I wanted a light to dark ombre effect. You can also use a half bleach, half water ratio for a less bleached effect. Next, dip the end of the shorts onto the bleach for about 3-5 minutes or depending on your desired effect. The smell of bleach is really strong, similar to chlorine so it is best to do this outdoors or in well-ventilated areas. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Txl9xoo5rHk/T9S0k48sCAI/AAAAAAAAAWs/ipasOCNJ81E/s1600/bleached2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Txl9xoo5rHk/T9S0k48sCAI/AAAAAAAAAWs/ipasOCNJ81E/s1600/bleached2.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After dipping in bleach, check the shorts to see whether you are getting the desired ombre effect. I wanted the ombre effect to reach the zipper line so I dipped that area for about 2 minutes, this created the gradient effect. Bleach can destroy your fabric, be sure to do this by area/parts and to keep checking the garment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9-i_3fJ2M5E/T9S0l0IfYZI/AAAAAAAAAW0/GlMhV7OxPuY/s1600/bleached3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9-i_3fJ2M5E/T9S0l0IfYZI/AAAAAAAAAW0/GlMhV7OxPuY/s1600/bleached3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Don't forget to check the back side as well if you have achieved the desired ombre effect. RINSE, RINSE, RINSE out with water, the three text rinses means to rinse out the bleach three times! I hung my shorts to semi-dry before washing with laundry soap. Again, the smell of bleach is quite strong so wash the shorts with laundry soap twice when needed. </div>

TADA! Wear your bleached ombre shorts out! I think these would look great with cropped tops :)</div>

One of the trends for Spring 2012 is <b>FRINGES</b>! I am a fan of fringes and I still have a couple of pieces in my closet. I love the boho-laid-back-look, fits my personality a lot. Here are some interesting fringe finds from the net and I hope to draw inspiration from this for my next DIY.<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">If you have been browsing around other DIY blogs, you may have seen this bracelet already but what makes it different here is that I used ribbons instead of leather cords. Using ribbons allows you to use brighter and bolder colors. See steps below!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Materials:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1. Super glue</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2. 2 jumps and 1 clasp</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3. File clip</div>

4. Chains (19.5 inches or any length that will wrap around your wrist 3x) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
5. Ribbons (width of ribbon will depend on your chain, I think mine is 1/8 inch)</div>

6. Pliers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Steps:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1. Attach the jumps and clasp at each end of the chain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2. String the ribbon (the length of my ribbon measures about 2 1/2 times the length of the chain) into the first chain and tie 2 knots. Leave the other end of the ribbon hanging, this will later be cut off and glued.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3. String the ribbon onto the next chain, making sure that the ribbon goes over chain and is inserted into the hole. Once you get it through, make sure the ribbon is tight against the chain before moving on to the next. Also, make sure that you string the ribbon in one direction (lol ONE DIRECTION <3) so be sure to check the back side to avoid any ribbons from flipping.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
4. As you continue stringing the ribbon, use a file clip so that the bracelet does not move around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
5. Tie 2 knots once you reach the end</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
6. Cut the remaining ribbons left and glue to chain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
These bracelets are best when worn when stacked and can also double as a necklace as well. You can use different chain colors such as gold, bronze, black or silver to mix and match with ribbon colors. </div>

Here is my Studded and Spiked Denim DIY Jacket, just a simple way of updating an old jacket as denim never goes out of style. I am very camera shy (because I am not skinny nor photogenic) but I think wearing my DIYs would be more interesting for my blog and its time to try something new. I finally found a store that sells spikes and I am glad that I was able to add it to this DIY. I placed the spikes on the shoulders to make it look punk-y haha. I noticed though that spikes have to be used with sturdy materials such as denim or leather since its heavy and will probably flop down with softer materials. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I failed to post regularly! Argh! The past 2 weeks have been crazy busy! I have been busy working overtime, fixing stuff for the garage sale, fell ill with PMS and some stress-related symptoms. My eye was twitching the other day and according to the Internet, this is due to fatigue and stress so I had to ban myself from using the computer. I have been resting as much as I can so hopefully this week will be better for me. </div>

My next DIY will be a studded denim jacket. Not exactly an original idea but I have been seeing lots of denim items in stores lately so I thought it would be a perfect way to update my old jacket. I am still deciding on where to place the studs and here are some of my pegs below:<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I only have plain circular studs and I have been looking all over for spikes but so far I found sellers from etsy.com. and it is quite expensive. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On another note, I promise to update my blog regularly! Perhaps three posts weekly? </div>

<b>Collar Tips</b> are a fashion trend right now and I will show you my own DIY version below.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Materials:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1. Earrings (studded type)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2. Pliers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3. Chains</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b>Steps:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
1. Measure the chains against a collared shirt and create a "U" shape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
2. Use a file clip to mark where you want to cut the chains. The length of my chains measure to about 8 inches. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
3. Use your pliers to remove the excess chains. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
4. Insert each end of the chains through the back of the earrings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<i> Optional : You can use super glue to attach the chains to the back of the earrings, I didn't use it here since my earrings did not enough space to hold the glue. </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
5.-6. Attach the hooks onto the earrings and wear your DIY collar tips creation :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
