Intramuros

My friends and I attended  my tita's 50th birthday in Intramuros. What's so special about it was they made us wear Filipiniana attire. At first, we were hesitant to attend due to "lack of imagination" in what to wear-haha! Good thing I was able to borrow a see-thru cover up made of  pinya with pearls and sequence as aesthetics.

the celebrant with all the children. love their linggo ng wika attire!

Intramuros is still beautiful! I'm glad the people who manage the Intramuros is taking good care of the place. it still has this Old Manila vibe. When we entered Casa Isabel para kang nasa 1900's! staircase made of hard rock. windows made of heavy wood & capis. narra table and chairs. I can't imagine myself living in that era. but, it sounds romantic, don't you think? the heavy dresses(lots of layers), the food. no cellphone, no modern facilities. black & white tv, harana at kundiman sa gabi, etc. 

My tita's caterer served filipino dishes too..like inihaw na lechon, kare-kare, afritada. kakanin like suman, palitaw, sapin-sapin. Yum!! 

I hope mapaganda pa ang Intramuros for the next generation :)

My Top Picks-Cutting Room Floor

Quick post: As promised, here are the list who did not made the cut for me fashion-wise in Oscars 2011:


Amy Adams. I liked the color on her and the design. Maybe she shouldn't have worn  that Cartier necklace. too much bling.

Annette Benning. too bad it is shapeless.

Nicole Kidman in Christian Dior. According to some it resembled a table napkin.

Reese Witherspoon in Giorgio Armani Prive. as much as I adore Reese, she looked old here. i liked the color, the design, the cut and all. maybe it's the hair. (ok. ok. She's only my runner-up)

Scarlett Johansson in Dolce & Gabbana. too much cover for a bodacious body. i don't like the messy hair do too.

Well, thats it pansit for now. Looking forward to Oscars 2012. Congratulations to all the winners! esp. to all the Filipino winners. once again, you made us proud! 

If you'll be given a chance to attend a Red Carpet Event, WHO & WHAT will you wear? Cheers! :)
