Barrio Fiesta 2011

I went to the "Barrio Fiesta", a festival wherein most of the Filipinos in the UK gather once a year and enjoy the day together. It really feels like home, plus you're able to eat Filipino foods you have been craving for.
It was my first time to attend in the said festival and it was raining very hard, and did I say it was in a park?? Yes, just imagine heavy rain in a park! I wore my military boots and a black blazer over because I knew it was going to be windy and muddy.

It was really windy! :)

I was with my friend in that day

I got a book bag same as kuya's, I really like goodies.

there was little entertainment with some celebrities from the Philippines

Actually, it should be like a picnic thing but the weather was so unpredictable.

there was like a minute of rain showers then a liilte bit of a sun in one or couple of minutes, then vice versa!

this was cute because when we set the camera for timer, this sweet boy passed by in front of the cam. :D

we still manage to bring two portable chairs :)

people on the side

when we came to the area, it was raining really hard so we eat up straight to this eatery. very Philippines isn't it?? I had a portion of sisig, pinakbet, and a stick of barbeque with rice and sago't gulaman for £5. Satisfied Filipina! :)

I won a brelly like this from LBC! yiiihhhh! ;)

I wanted this raincoat but I needed to buy a sim first to get one, I already got this sim! :-I

A Filipino singer from my country, it's funny how he impersonate some of his colleagues ^_^

yes, this was the portable toilet. In fairness, it's clean and doesnt smell bad!

I bumped to my friend before we left, he's having a picnic with his friends. x

The sun suddenly appeared while walking to the bus station, naughty sun I tell you!! And while waiting for the bus in the station, my ever dearest friend Jerome passedby. Oh goodness, I haven't seen him for years! We just shook hands that was really quick, I felt bad that we didn't even had the chance for a picture. Anyways, I totally enjoyed my day and that was a great one for a first timer, nevermind the weather! :) I will definitely attend next year, see you the fellow Filipinos! x

JC's Lita

    

     After few months of searching for comfy leather shoes, I came up with the "Shoes of the Year" for S/S2011 as one of the most comfy yet stylish boots for the said season so I searched where can I get a pair here in the UK since the brand is US-based. 

      When buying shoes, the main characteristics that I am looking for is the texture (soft and comfy), size (if it fits me well), and quality (stitches, floor grasp). In order to do that, I must see the product personally and try them on.

     First, I went to many Office stores all over London (okay I'm lying, only in central and here in our town) because I heard that they have Jeffrey Campbell shoes and yes, they have the brand but not the style that I wanted. Another store is the Urban Outfitters since they're also authorised distributer but unfortunately they got no JCs at the moment. I really do not like ordering stuff online for few reasons: I admit that I'm impulsive which is self explanatory and I do not want the thing that I have to wait for that to come. To make the long story short, I also searched for online stores here in the UK because I thought it is less hassle and I can have the product in shorter period of time, but I was disappointed that they haven't got my size or the colour.  Since I'm really desperate, I started to search anywhere in Europe but it was utter failure(I cannot understand the language!!). Then I admitted to myself that I must get one whatever it takes. I looked up from many US online stores but they got loads of requirements so I ended up in REVOLVEclothing.com.

     It is $159 but as I have said that I cannot wait, I added $20 for 3-6 days waiting period. Actually, the said delivery period started when the product went out of the store which is 2 days after I ordered it. This was the time that I was worrying in terms of size, fit, and the way it look in my feet; and also, they emailed me that it was hold in the custom and I need to pay another 36 and this time it was in pounds! I was really disappointed for paying bit by bits which I really dont want, I should just paid all at once for less hassle and delays.

Anyways, I got my shoes delivered in my doorstep after three weeks, THREE WEEKS!!

This crossword box made me smile and made me wanna answer it before I can see what's inside!

     I just love the smell of leather when I opened the box, I can imagine myself like a child opening a gift on a Christmas day. That's how excited I was! :P

The sole part inside is cushioned for a comfy feeling and the leather is so soft.

 

Here's my photo wearing my ℒita ♥

     This is a head-turning shoes for girls, I actually made friends because of them. They asked me if it is really comfortable and I always say that "you can really run with it". x
