TOP TEN TUESDAY

Hello, everyone! It's time for another Top Ten Tuesday! Below are ten things people do that I either don't understand or that absolutely annoy the heck out of me. Hopefully your Internet connection is reasonably fast for the GIFs to load properly! Enjoy.

(10) People who walk sloooooooow.
Now, I know some people have legit reasons as to why they walk at a snail's pace (e.g. they're old and have rayuma) while others prefer a more leisurely stride. I get that. But what I'm talking about are those who obviously can tell you are walking behind them and yet it is as if they are purposefully trying to walk zero kilometers per hour. The worst part is when you have no way to overtake the human turtles, and are left stuck behind them.

Could you go any slower?

(9) The want for a dislike button on Facebook.
There was a time when so many people were hoping for a dislike button on FB. Some probably still do. Baket? Eh kung i-dislike ko profile pic mo

Spread love, not hate! No need for a dislike button! It's absurd.

(8) When people say, "Can/may I ask you a question?"
You already did. Now you may not ask another.

You had your chance

(7) Sales people tracking your every move.
Yung tipong nakadikit lang sayo habang iniikot mo yung store. I understand that these salespeople are instructed to assist their customers and probably keep an eye out for possible shoplifters. But that doesn't mean tracking literally my ever step and following me within an arm's stretch. It's either you so eagerly want to be of assistance to me (if this is the case, please assist me by getting me some cookies whilst I browse your store), or I look super shady that you're pulling the human CCTV on me by watching MY. EVERY. MOVE. Either way, I am sure there are more subtle ways of keeping your customers in check.

LET ME SHOP IN PEACE HUHU

(6) When people stare.
One of my biggest pet peeves! Yung sobrang halatang nakatitig lang sayo. I know I'm cute, pero wag ka naman obvious masyado. Ay chos. Joke lang (ashu) pero yung totoo, LOOK AWAY

Bye.

Top Ten Tuesday: It's A Girl Thing!

Hello, people of the internet! I am stoked to kick off our first Top Ten Tuesday! This week's post is a list of my own top ten items that I have to have in my wardrobe, plus a few non-clothing accessories. I will be doing a separate list on beauty products, so you won't be seeing those in this particular list.

I actually had a difficult time narrowing these items down to ten, because as a girl, I feel like I need EVERYTHING in my closet, haha! But here they are, the top ten girl essentials I personally have to have:

(10) Sweatpants or Yoga Pants 
Whether it’s a lazy Saturday or an errand-running kind of Monday, sometimes we just gotta put our comfort first. However, I found that this wardrobe staple made more sense to me when I was in the states. It would always be a little cool in our townhouse back in Missouri, so I would use either sweatpants or my favorite yoga pants whenever I just lounged around at home, or when I didn’t have time to get all dressed up for class in the morning. Now that I’m back in hot and sunny Manila, I realized that I actually have not worn either of these clothing items because I would get way too warm if I do. I think if you live in the Philippines, it makes more sense to have running shorts (or just any kind of shorts, really) as a wardrobe essential instead of sweatpants!

(9) Plain White Sneakers

Now, this isn’t necessarily a top item for every girl. I actually know someone who despises wearing sneakers! But for me, my plain white sneakers have always been the perfect go-to shoes whenever I wanna pull off the cute but comfy look. White sneaks look totes adorbs with shorts, sundresses, rompers, jeans, you name it!

It was my trusty pair of white sneakers that I mostly used
when I went around the world with Semester at Sea last year!
I literally wore it everywhere, no matter what the outfit!

(8) Lip Balm

Because girl, chapped lips don’t look cute on anybody. EOS lip balm eggs are my favorite kind! I am obsessed.

I once bought a whole pack of EOS eggs on Amazon.com because I was that obsessed..
Plus, Amazon had a good deal. YOLO

(7) Perfume

More than just smelling pretty the whole day, I really like it when people I know and are close to have their “signature scent”. I automatically associate the scent with the person, and if I get a whiff of it elsewhere, I instantly get reminded of that person which is nice. Currently, I wear the Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy. I fell in love with this scent the first time I came across it in 2010. I have been wearing it ever since!

I got hooked on Juicy Couture scents, but eventually just stuck with Viva La Juicy, the one on the left with the pink bow. The one in the middle is called Couture Couture, while the one on the right is Peace, Love, and Juicy. 

(6) Pearls (Earrings And/Or Necklace)

Adding this to a blah outfit instantly adds a touch of sass and a whole lot of class! Whether you are going to a picnic, a job interview, or a ball, pearl earrings are a safe staple to have.
