Another post wherein I talk about my hair
Hey Chubbies,
I have just finished watching Magnolia so I am a bit disoriented (still deciding if I liked it or it’s too smart for me) BUT! I have a new hair do. Please see below:
Wore this when I went to a friend’s kid’s christening luncheon. That sheer cover-up was thrifted, yellow sundress from Roxy, oversized envelope clutch from ladies’ market in Mongkok. Sunnies...

Summer Hair
Bibi fatties,
So, the weather in the Philippines has reached the levels of HELL. Thus, keeping my hair at waist length is no longer an option - if I wanted to stay sane.
TADA!
Bye-bye more than 10 inches of hair!
Both top and skirt have been posted somewhere in the blog already. Mustard flats were from Janilyn (SM MOA) and native bag with flower accent was from a supplier in Bicol from...

When I say quick...
…I mean SUPER quick post. Here’s what I wore when we did the pre-debut photoshoot in Intramuros for my friend’s daughter (I am organizing a debut party, 130 guests yo!). Will do a complete post of all the deets after the event. :) Super psyched about this project!
Ya like my hair? :)

Saturday of Plays
Hi Chubbies,
So last Saturday, me, Aris, Ate Irene, and my good friend Kitchie went to see two plays - ‘Leading Ladies’ at Onstage Greenbelt 1 (Atlantis Productions) and ‘You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown’ at RCBC (9Works Productions). Both were great (no actually Charlie Brown was better heh), and we had tons of fun!
The first show we saw (Leading) was quite short...

Sunday Brunch in Tagaytay
Dear Fabchubs,

A Baguio Christmas
Happy New Year, sexxies!
Also, Happy 1st Birthday, Blog! :D
So as I told you guys in my previous post, I spent Christmas in Baguio with the fambizzam. We left the house for the 7-hour drive to chill city at 6:30. I drove all the way because my brother Ymo claimed he was super wasted from the night before and couldn’t drive but then had been laughing his ass off the entire duration of the...
Office Christmas Party
Hey Chubsters,
Crazy December, AM I RITE??
I spent Christmas with my family in Baguio. Not much meandering happened, since we have seen practically all nooks and crannies of the city. Chillin’ and enjoying the cool weather was the point of the trip. Awesome times were achieved like you wouldn’t believe.
But enough about that. I promise to post an entry of my ‘themed’...

Hola baby chub-chubs!
As you know (or don’t), I hate whiny people. Except when I’m the one being whiny.
I get that being fat these days is hard, and many fatties are shamed, and many have serious issues with body image, and being able to sport whatever kind of clothes you want is a right of everyone no matter what size you wear. I’m down with this shit all the way. I. GET....
Long weekend-ender (Also, PERM!)
Hello sexy fatsies!
Here are some facts:
1. Give it another two days and this would have been my first post in exactly two months. All my ~avid readers~ would know that.
2. I got a perm. (Still seems like a good idea at the moment. Will let you know if anything changes).
3. Gone thrifting a couple of times, awesome finds were found.
4. In a related note — future blog ideas: thrifted...

Snaps from Bicol: Some sights and fashuns
Sup Chubsies,
In this post I will tell you some stuff you probably already know about Bicol. (I actually just wanna post some pictures of this awesome, awesome place.) My wardrobe was pretty basic (as is usually the case when I’m travelling); obviously my running a fat fashion blog has yet to affect my disposition as far as ‘fab packing’ is concerned, especially on business...

Her Royal Chubness is back!
QUICK UPDATE: So. Everything and nothing happened from the time of my last ‘real’ entry to this. To give you an non-sequential recap: I made a 4-day trip to Bicol for work, I had a tattoo in commemoration of my 27th birthday, I renewed my driving license and found out that I had 4 outstanding violations that I either have to pay off or undergo a 4-hour seminar for, I broke-up with...

Last Days of Summer
Hey there fatties!
I shall give you no excuses for not updating the blog, except that the past month had been crazy to say the very least. My work has overtaken my life, but I am making no fuss as it’s been a great learning experience (so far LOL). Work has also swept my big ass last week to Cebu, a place I’ve never been to before. Though I was working the whole time, I was able to...

Cropped (and a couple of good news)
Pictures of beautiful and bodacious women in cropped tops showing off their hefty tummies have been going around the innarnetz for some time, and I’ve always wondered when I’ll get to wear one. Like I’ve said before, I prefer the polished, if not immaculately made-up look, to the grunge-y feel that cropped tops have about them.
However, last Wednesday, the opportunity crept in,...
Disenchanted
Finally, a post after so long!
I’ve been pretty tied up lately, especially this past week, when my baby sis underwent an appendectomy. I spent a total of six days at the hospital, watching Discovery and PBO all day long while caring for her (and making sure she gets to the toilet on time), so I couldn’t really be bothered to dress up and take pictures. Anyhow, I am glad that we are...

Grace in boots
Last Wednesday, my brother and I went to join in my sister’s family day activities in her school (where we mostly ate pancit). Actually, my mom just made me go, because she’s got some other plan and my sister might end up the only kid there without family present. Ah, the joys of being a bum.
Looking at the bright side, it gave me an excuse to wear my boots for the first time here!~...
Cold Summer Nights
I have been in a sort of funk these last few weeks (which explains the lack of updates), perhaps because of the unemployment situation, aggravated by other nuisances that connived and decided to spring up on me at the same time. I didn’t wanna spread the negativity, and actually, I would much rather keep them to myself knowing that talking about my issues would do nothing to solve them.

The Earliest Summer
Hey fat chicks!
This past weekend, our entire family (well, except for my brother JR) went to a big-ass exclusive resort in Pagbilao, Quezon. The massive property emulates a Mexican city with its colorful themed villas. Though it might still be a bit cold for some, we braved the chill waters (in a gigantic heated infinity pool), and had a fantastic time!

Make-up and friends
Hey lovelies!
Quickie post of one of the happenings over the weekend. Some of my high school girlfriends came over to visit and play with my make-up. Despite having a monster headache, I enjoyed giving (all five of them!) an impromptu makeover. Too bad it was already too late to have a nice afternoon photoshoot, but there’s always next time.
Now, pictures!!!
Apologies for not being able...

Do I look like someone who's gonna get the job?
That’s something me and the boyf ask each other whenever one of us is going to a job interview. While the question is meant to motivate, I honestly have to do some serious work on him before I can truthfully answer yes (haha, love you bibi!).

Serious Business
First post in 10 days! That’s gotta be a record, considering how often I was updating this blog since I started it. No, I’m still not employed, and although I’ve had a number of interviews, nothing good has come up yet. Oh well. Anyhow, I know I promised an outfit post featuring what I wear during interviews, but I always forget to take pictures before I get in the car (taking...

We had so much stories to tell, and with the assortment of places we can hang out in around my ‘hood and the neighboring city...

Hey ladies, hope everything is well with all of you. I myself have not been that bad, except that I haven’t heard any positive feedback from that interview I was so excited about last week.

I know I promised to post the outfit I wore for my recent interview (which went extremely well, by the way, so YAY me!), but I was thisclose (surprise, surprise) to being late so I just dashed to the car and totally forgot to take some photos. If ever I will attend another interview (but hopefully not *winkwink*), I will most probably repeat that same outfit, or if not, I...

From My Mom's Closet (FMMC) of the Day
For the past month since I came back (from Dubai), I’ve been managing with whatever clothes I was able to ram inside my suitcase — which were meager to say the least as I also had to pack along with them a lot of my pasalubongs that cannot be taken on board the plane. Most of my clothes are still sailing across the Indian Ocean, in a box sitting in a cargo ship that is obviously taking...

New Year's Eve outfit
After three years, I got to spend New Year’s Eve in the Philippines again, with my family, amidst a sea of very unhealthy food, and with the insipid local variety show/ New Year countdown in the background. Just as customary, we did not jump at the strike of midnight, put coins in our pockets, have 12 round fruits on our table, and light firecrackers. Every year, we are hardly ever part of...

New Year, new blog
I like looking good. I like dressing up. Nice clothes, gorgeous shoes. Impeccable but wearable make-up. I like doing make-overs for my friends. Bargain hunting. Unique fashion finds. Older, comfort plays a major role in my fashion choices, but I will admit to occasional self-inflicted sartorial suffering. I prefer clean and made-up over rugged and sporty, and I love fun and loud focal pieces. I...
