[Lookbook 01.28.2014] Tropical winter

Image
I'll have to admit that while I enjoy the sun--but mostly when I'm on the beach--I do like this "tropical winter" we've been experiencing these past few weeks. It's really not that cold but the slight chill is noticeable, especially in a country that's used to temperatures in the high 20s to mid-30s (Celsius). In fact, this "winter" we're having right now is just equivalent to summer elsewhere in the world.

Sushi for dessert at My Pink Wasabi

[Updated 02.13.2014] I've already been seeing My Pink Wasabi at The Collective along Malugay Street in Makati City since late last year. Actually I saw the place even when it was still being constructed! But for the silly life of me, I thought it was just another yogurt place--until My Bibe and I finally checked it out about a fortnight ago. So what did they have? This: Maki sushi for dessert. They've got sushi! For dessert! And yes, they serve it on a sushi plate and with chopsticks. This ingenious creation of meticulously hand-rolled mini-cakes designed to resemble maki sushi  looks too cute to eat. They call it Kashi Maki , meaning, "sweet maki" ( kashi being the Japanese word for sweet; maki, of course, is that rolled type of sushi).

Oh look, it's a kitty kind of situation at home this morning! Ever curious, they were following me to the door as I was about to leave for work. Sweet, aren't they? But hey, I realized it's been almost a month since I last blogged. Blame it on the holidays but I also got busy because we moved to a new home last month, plus I was hospitalized just after New Year's, which reminds me I need to continue my "medical diary" posts about my hepatolithiasis . So for now, an outfit post will do.
