Fiesta Galore

Some highlights from the fiesta street scene in here:




Wearing the basque fiesta uniform called ¨blusa¨. These guys are part of the ¨cuadrillas¨ which are groups/organizations of men and women who are the main fiesta revellers.


They parade on the streets at least thrice a day with live bands and with a drink in one hand. Frankly, I don´t know how they survive a whole day and night of partying for at least 5 days in a row!


African musicians displaying their musical talent




Sorry for the dark photos, I took these during the night and my camera isn´t that hi-tech. hahaha! Here´s what I wore on the 1st night:

dress- Bershka



Although it was hot during the day, when the sun sets the temperature plummets down to 14 C and so a light sweater/cardigan always come in handy. ;)


Bye for now, more fiesta stories soon.Hope you´ve enjoyed my dark photos. hihihi!:)

Agur!

It's always fun to see your travel photos Che... love the fiesta scene. The pics are great... not dark at all. Baka sa computer monitor mo lang dark sa tingin mo kasi dito sa akin, tama ang exposure. And I love your dress. Looking forward to more fiesta photos.

It's great to be back. I miss you! xoxo

shirt dress converted to top - Zara ( from the sales last year) Lately, I´ve discovered that the extra pounds that I´ve unconsciously piled over the past years have finally settled comfortably on my face. I´m going to hide my face for now. ;) Do you have a wgi (weight gain indicator and I made this up)  in your body? I do and it´s my face (aside from the muffin top). hehe!;) earrings - bazaar (Phils.) I love shirt dresses. They´re loose and they basically hide anything that you wanted to hide. Know what I mean? ;) One bad thing about this particular dress shirt though is the fit. It´s too loose, a bit short and it doesn´t look good with my mini ... and so a lot of rolling and folding was done to achieve the  laid back look that I wanted to create . That´s me rolling and folding below. ;) I´m just kidding about hiding my face. Here it is... and yes, my face is so healthy, no? :) Say hello to the weight gain culprit ! My guilty pleasure since last week. I can eat this e

Skirting the Issue

Halooo! So how´s your weekend? ;) Mine was spent visiting the new flat ( we just had the new sofa delivered, yey!) and last Saturday we went to this mini-food fair where they sell lots of goodies. I tasted some chorizos, jamon serrano, and a glass of white wine too. Too bad I forgot to take the camera so no photos to show you but we brought home some sweets which unfortunately we also gobbled up during the weekend. hihihi! At least I´ve spared you from breaking your diets this summer. ;) Truth be told, I don´t look good wearing high waisted skirts because I have wide hips ( I´m good at hiding them here ;) . Maybe I could pull off wearing them 10 yrs. ago when I still have a slimmer silhouette, er, smaller waistine and hips and a flatter middle but now everything especially my hips are expanding faster like the speed of light. So a mini-hipster skirt is just perfect for me. floral top - Vero Moda skirt - Mango ( summer sales 2008) ring and silver bracelets - local Spanish s

Flyday Fridays: Paris (part 1)

Image
The first time I went to Paris was in early spring. It was raining and gloomy but that didn´t stop me from falling in love with this romantic city. Here are some things to do and places to visit when you´re in Pa-gheee . ;) 1, 2, 3: Get lost inside le Louvre,  pass by   Mona Lisa´s room and get mesmerized by her coy smile and if you like ancient jewelry, be enthralled by the museum´s jewelry collection. Even the bishop´s crozier is bejeweled! 4: Admire the Sainte Chapelle´s amazing ceiling, structure and colorful stained glass windows. 5,6: Fall in line (entrance is free!) and admire the sculpture and stained windows of the Notre Dame. By this time you´re very tired and so take a rest at the park/garden at the back of the church. Later you can cross the small bridge and have your lunch at one of the numerous creperies and restaurants in the small island. 7,8: After a light lunch, take the metro and go to Montmartre and visit the Sacré Coeur. Be careful o
