Day 246: Bead Up

This Saturday was pretty boring.  I spent it indoors watching movies hoping I get another feel good similar to Crazy, Stupid, Love.  No such luck yet.

Anyway, here's an earworm for you: The Big Bang (Rock Mafia).  The whistling reminds me of Twisted Nerve from Kill Bill, and it's just as rattling to the psyche.

Day 220: Headbands

Lately, I seem to be channeling my inner Blair Waldorf.  Which is interesting, since I have never watched an episode of Gossip Girl.  I find myself wearing headbands to hold my hair back since I'm trying to grow it longer.

Day 192: Cameo

I have a thing for cameos.  I think that the first time I liked a cameo was during one of the Lingo ng Wika in grade school.  We were, of course, asked to come in wearing a Philippine costume.  Back then, the easiest Filipiniana costume you'd find would be the traditional patadyong or the baro't saya.  I do not remember how, but there was a time when I ended up wearing a traditional baro't saya that looked straight out of a Noli Me Tangere set.  Complete with a lace fan, bakya, and a pretty cameo on a velvet choker.  My mother has patterned the entire costume out of a souvenir doll.  What can I say?  My mom has fantastic taste.

Ever since then, I have always been fascinated with cameo pieces.  Chokers, earrings, lockets, brooches, and sometimes even cuffs.  I do not get to wear these pieces often, though.  Maybe it's time to take them out of storage.
