Today, I want to feature one of my blog partner sites, Chinese-Apparel.com and share with you my review of the items I got from the site. I've been linking them for quite some time now and have featured their products before but of course, there's a difference when I share my thoughts on actual products I got from them vs. what we see online only from the shop.

Chinese-apparel.com is a trading company and on-line store based in China; and with management from Russia and Borneo Island. The shop mainly focuses on selling Japanese and Korean ladies fashion. Aimed at providing a wide range of trendy products and having a good business relationship with many Chinese suppliers, factories, Chinese Apparel gives an opportunity to provide really great prices for lovely customers likes you and me ... because their products are coming directly from factories to customers.

Go check after the cut to find out more about them ...

Pink is every girl's color. Agree? And I love items in every shade of pink. Perfect colors to combine with it include purple, lavender, light blue, white ... pastel colors! And this look I'm sharing with you all right now is full of pink and girly stuffs! Yay! It's fun being a girl!

Followers of this blog would know that my outfit style is really into corporate chic look or just a simple casual outfit, being in a corporate environment. Loud colors and prints wouldn't work. Skimpy outfit, revealing clothes, or those that have hints of "sexy" in them are not allowed. But of course, when it's "off work" or related to outings and team building activities, it's the time when I can wear outfits just right for the occasion and the season!

Before I actually launched my "first official cosplay" as Lili Rochefort (if there's really such a thing haha); I tried to squeeze in a "costrip" type ... Er ... I don't want to elaborate but I thought of just coming in costume and not really joining any competition, whatsoever. Later on, I turned out to be joining the cosplay catwalk as well. Why did I do it? For FUN! And boost my self-confidence when I actually walk the following week for my Lili Cosplay. Makes sense? Haha!

Chai as Misa Amane

Ain't it obvious that I didn't have all the proper costume for Misa? She's over-cosplayed! HAH! As the main female protagonist (or actually, antagonist) from one of the best animes of all time; of course, cosplay-enthusiasts like me would wanna cosplay her. At first I thought, it was an easy task but it turned out to be a little tasking because of her accessories. But I pulled it off quickly soooo ... poof! My first take on cosplay!

Forgive the lack of accuracy! It was way back 2008 and it was a quick spin-off! Of course, I took it to heart to improve in my future cosplays ... and I believe I did hurhurhur~ So for now, allow me to share my fixations for this character and the "costume" ...

This post is a continuation of my DAY 1 POST:
~LALALALALA~

Lotsa Loot from SuperSale Bazaar 2012 - DAY 1!!!

Ain't it obvious that I was super happy and I had to return just to shop again? Hehehe. They said shopping or retail therapy is cheaper than a psychiatrist ... LOL. Yeah if you're stressed like me and want to keep your sanity, do it via shopping. Don't overspend, of course. Just have a budget. (^_^) For me, I definitely did not go over my budget. I only bought things that were matching the price I thought of hehe.

My first stop was at DAS My Shoes. I've been lustin' over their DAS34 in hot pink heel-less, peep-toe with ankle strap wedge or pumps or whatever! Unfortunately, it's been out of stock for good (T_T) and I cried lots for not getting myself a pair in time. When I inquired from them like months ago, I heard they're having a black and nude version soon! I can't wait for it to go out! Woot!

Soon enough, they released the nude version while the black one is still behind the scenes. The girls behind the brand said they can sell me the black one already. I was hesitant to buy because I'm not sure of my shoe size yet from them. While I'm normally a size (7); I get size (8) from most online shops like my favorite, Asianvogue Shop. For Asian sizes, I am a size bigger. So I waited until I got the chance the fit it on an event. And that event came during the I'm Shoe In Love Part 2 event. Unfortunately again, I didn't get a chance to buy it. (T_T)

With Neeresh Das
from DASmyShoes
and me with my 1st DAS Pair!

And now, as soon as I saw from their page that they're going to the SuperSale Bazaar, I didn't let it pass anymore. I was finally able to get my own DAS HEEL-LESS SHOES!!!

Not only did I get myself my much-awaited new shoes but I also had the opportunity to meet the designer - Neeresh Das. She was super cool in person.

Was it pricey? Probably, a little bit! But getting the shoes yo really love is priceless! As I always believed, a girl can never have too many shoes anyway, right? There's tons of clothes and bags to match them with. Hahaha!

Neeresh was very accommodating. She's fun to talk to and I admire how young and successful she is right now. I also love how unique her style is. I mean, look at those new shoes she's wearing! I'm sure lots of shoe-a-holics will be waiting for that to be out soon! Woot!

I don't really wear heels all the time. Judging from this pic that you see, I have scoliosis and I'm wearing a back brace. My doctor advised me really to avoid them as much as possible. I'm sure there's a lot of pretty designs as well in flats but heels are really a requirement now. LOLZ. Anyway, even at work; I don't wear it all the time. As my work requires me to sit long hours and just have a few times to go out and walk; I'm normally wearing my flats inside the office instead. So yeah, I still take care of my back. (^_^) Don't worry! When I walk around the floor; I am wearing my rollable flats most recently soooo nothing to worry about! I'm fine lah~

And if you think that's just all to get excited about ... wait! There's more ...

And no, I did not misspell the subject line! The event was aptly called "SuperSale" with one (1) word haha! And I guess at this point, it's the best "SALE" experience so far that I attended. I mean, in terms of the bazaar types of events and not just store sales events or promos. It's one of the major sale events I've anticipated this month of July and it didn't fail me. I'm really happy! (^_^)

My SuperSale Bazaar 2012 Pink Loot Bag

There was an Entrance Fee of P100 like any event similar to this one. I was so excited that my plan to go there for just one day on a weekend turned out to be two (2) days with the 1st day spent just looking around with friends and colleagues. I didn't get to attend the third day anymore and I wanted to rest that time instead. Hohoho~

It happened so recently (July 13-14-15) that I can't help but share my experience too soon! NOW! I have other post backlogs so this got pushed back a little bit to auto-post this day hehe but still, I managed to do it this time! Woot!

It's the first event I attended that gives away loot bags for shoppers. I got a pink one! Yey! There was an orange and blue loot bag too but I'm ok with pink hehehe. This is convenient for all shoppers who went there as there are so many shops to get lotsa good deals from. This one came in handy later on for me.

The event is well-organized, I must say. For such a noob like me in ransacking bazaars, I appreciated this one! The sections were well-arranged and it wasn't too-cluttered. The food stalls were situated outside the tent venue and just upon the entrance. Everything else inside is a shopping haven! From bags, shoes, accessories, clothing ... name it, you have it! I have so much good stories to say ...

At first, I was hesitant. Then I started to love it too. (^_^)

I got two (2) pieces of these as little gifts from my boss, Mamu Isay. She came from a cosplay convention I wanted to attend - she made it there; I didn't. LOL. I was too overworked so I didn't get the chance to visit. *sobs* She went there with her whole family anyway - and her kids enjoyed it hehe, And now I'm luvin the gifts.

I found it weird initially, as to why these glasses actually don't have glasses at all. It's blank ... it's just a hole. It's a plain glass frame. I didn't even know what these glasses were called until I saw it trending on Facebook from several other otakus and younger cosplayers ... mostly teens. Then I realized ... ahhhh! It's "uso" or "in-style" ngayon hahah. Wow! Didn't know my boss now is up-to-date with these stuff - event kiddie fashion statements. LOLZ.

My Hello Kitty Spectacles via Instagram

You can check out its better size on my tumblr photo post.

When I first wore it; I thought twice. Of course, I'm no longer a teen hehehe. I'm in my 20s yes, but I work in a corporate environment lah~ So this might distort my "image." LOL. But ... fuhggedaboutimage shiz! Just cracking' this fashion item doesn't mean I'm whacko right? Haha!

When I first posted this pic, my friends were teasing me - that I looked like a little kiddo. Haha. I was just trying to match the look and feel hehe. I think it's appropriate for kids in the younger generation though - so I seldom use this. No offense to Mamu, hehe. I just think it suits a much younger audience.

And it's mah choice too!

Musashi Takoyaki (click for larger photo)

I was not a fan of these takoyaki foodies until I tasted the best one that offers them ... MUSASHI TAKOYAKI. What is takoyaki, you ask? As per Musashi's definition ... (and yes, just google it; but I wanna quote it, the "Musashi" way ...), it's a popular Japanese snack made from flour, and octopus; with added authentic Japanese ingredients. "Tako" means octopus and "Yaki" means friend or baked.

This stall truly brings the best authentic Japanese Octopus balls using only the finest ingredients and fresh toppings.

Chic-Boy (Chic-Boy Goes Japanese)
West Avenue Quezon City

After FINALLY watching the highest grossing movie of the year, Praybeyt Benjamin with my Fafi this weekend, we had to scout for a place to eat. We didn't have anything in the afternoon as merienda and dinner was delayed, thanks to me! LOL. I had a number of items to finish for work. And since we tried to catch the LFS (Last Full Show), there's not a lot of establishments open - unless we go to bars and stuff. The last option we had was Chic-Boy (Chicken at Baboy) at West Avenue, Quezon City. Trinoma didn't have any other options opened lah~

I was thrilled to see that the store now has Japanese Menu offered, as they've posted on their banner. There are a few choices for now so I settled for it. It's "something new" for them. I doubted it would taste good. The store is known mostly for Filipino dishes and offering Japanese food is quite questionable. Anyway, we gave it a try. My first thoughts were, will it taste at least as good as those from Japanese Fastfood? Of course, I wasn't expecting that they could cook best like those offered in Japanese restaurants. I only tried one variant from their line, Chic-boy Goes Japanese. At this point, all I can say is, well, they didn't go "that far" ...
