We went to a local Salvation Army today to do some thrifting. Everything was 40% off so our timing couldn’t be any more perfect! What I love about this particular thrift store is that they sell literally everything, from clothes to furniture to even cars! Plus, the proceeds go to charity which makes it even more amazing.

They have a pretty swell vinyl record collection.

And their selection of books made my jaw drop. You could really find a couple of good titles if you have the patience to look.

Anyway, I was able to pick up heaps of stuff but I’m only going to show you my favorites. 

Here are a couple of knitted sweaters for two dollars apiece. I was able to score two more but I couldn’t find them at the moment.

Flannel shirts <3 Surprisingly, I found two of these at the men’s section.

A girl can never have too many pairs of high-waisted shorts. I think these were 4 dollars a piece.

A brown crossbody bag that I got for 5 dollars

A pair of studded loafers! I’ve been looking for a reasonably priced pair for so long; I knew I had to have it the moment I saw it! It was fate, really.

And my favorite purchases - books! :)

Mom will bring us to Goodwill next week, and we’re probably going to a couple of garage sales as well. I hope I score good finds then!

First of Summer

Hi everyone! I’m currently blogging from a place 7307 miles away from Manila, in the best county in the world called Los Angeles. My sister and I arrived here a couple of days ago, and this is where my summer vacation kicked off!

Based from the point of view of this photo, you may notice that I’m sitting in a middle seat. Negene and I weren’t actually sitting beside each other cause there weren’t any good seats left! Fortunately, she was placed right in front of me.

PAL always serves the most unappealing food! This is what I had for supper. Fish fillet and rice, penne pasta, a piece of bread and a fruit cup. My breakfast was a little better though; I had ham and sausages!

This was my view when the plane was about to land.

Side note: we were seated towards the tail of the plane so it was a really bumpy ride! It was super scary!

Finally reunited with my mom and my baby sister, Nadine! I missed them so much! :)

We got off of LAX at around 9/10 pm. There weren’t many restaurants open so we opted to grab a bite at In-N-Out instead.

I also got my California ID that night! We applied for this last year but it came in the mail weeks after we left for the Philippines.

The next day was rest day as Negene and I were suffering from intense jet lag. The day after that though, this little cutie had her first birthday party + baptism!

Everyone meet Illsa Rose! She’s my cousin’s daughter, making her my niece. She’s also my godchild cause I was one of the ninangs in her baptism.

My gramma nicknamed her “GG” because she’s her first Great Grand child, lol! Everyone calls her GG now.

GG’s pastel colored party loot bags that day

Alice in Wonderland themed cake! So cute!

She even had this party floater on! My cousins and I went inside it when everyone else was gone, LOL

GG about to “blow” her cake

And here are her parents! My cousin, Ate Stacy, and her boyfriend, Jose.

The best part of this party is having to see my cousins again! This one is Steven.

And this one is Camille.

The rest of the week was spent on bumming around the house, babysitting GG, eating my face off and going to random places with the family.

My favorite thing is going to drugstores because I could get the makeup I want that aren’t available back home!

Take a look at this random car I saw outside of Target (I think). Lucky person went to Coachella!

Oh I’m in love with this city <3
