a matter of teys.t

We always hear fashion gurus telling us that the “little black dress” is one of those fashion essentials you must have in your closet. But what about jewelry? What should you invest in when it comes to jewelry? I grew up in a town famous for it’s jewelry making industry and seeing jewelry catalogs around our house was nothing extraordinary. Although I am not the “chunky, clunky” type, I do appreciate good jewelry when I see one. Below are what I think every one should have at least one of in their stash. My jewelry of choice would be earrings and here are some samples of what I would wear (if I could LOL).

Diamonds are classic, timeless and always in style no matter what the occasion.

Pearls are elegant, sophisticated and can take you from drab to fab in an instant.

Real gems and birthstones add that personal touch to your overall look.

What about costume jewelry then? Where does that fit in? With all the high quality hip and trendy fashion jewelry coming out, there will always be room for that in your wardrobe especially if they are as cute as this:

… yeah, yeah it’s ballet of course I’ll wear it hahaha (I found this in etsy - image is linked… I think :) )

So that’s my fashion roundup for this time.

Well, for good reason actually so I’m not going to hang myself for it. So what’s the good reason? Real life gets in the way of virtual reality - hahaha.

First, it was exam week last week for my homeschooled son - he had an assessment exam for his grade level at the DECS accredited school where we enrolled him. Since we use a homeschool curriculum different from DECS, I had to drill him and review him on the topics that were part of the exam but not necessarily part of our curriculum. (I’ll probably write a post about what your child needs to know at a certain grade level in the future.) So that took up most of my week - I had to make sure that “papasa sya, este, kakasa sya sa Grade Three”. LOL 

Trivia: Did you know that the DECS scope and sequence covers only 4 subjects for Grade Three?        What are these subjects?  English, Math, Science and Filipino

Next, since my kids started doing ballet twice a week, my schedule has become topsy- turvy. Why? because I lose two “virtual” days a week since I have to go with them to ballet school. Of course, ballet always wins hands down as far as I’m concerned. No contest! I will go with them wherever and whenever necessary! I am a self-confessed ballet addict! I wonder what will happen to my bloggie when they start doing everyday class in the summer? hmmmm…. aargh! I need a MBPro ASAP! Or maybe an Audemars Piguet designer watch on my wrist will do so I can I watch time slowly tick away while waiting for them in the hallway. Either way, I need to blog more so I can buy any of those two. LOL

Of course, I do all that aside from my own “rakets” online and IRL. The future is bright but it’s getting tighter and tighter as far as time constraints go.  So much to do, so little time. I know, I know (sheepish grin :P ), I can hear it coming. It’s all about time management. I haven’t come to that place yet where my everyday life is like going to the office - you time in and you time out. Same thing, day in and day out. Life is more volatile with kids, you know - the sneezies, the dirty tights and leotards, the unpredictables and all that jazz. I’m trying though. I have a dream… (I’m not MLK, but I have a dream, too, you know).

Anyhoo, sa mga ka-LP ko, babawi na lang ako neks wik pag maliwanag na ang panahon. :) So that’s it, pansit! I might be able to squeeze a few more posts within the week and not be a “baaaad blogger”.

Adios, amigos! Hasta maniana! (spelled as pronounced - can’t find the enye right now hahaha)

Okay, more ballet stuff. I obviously love ballet and everything that has to do with it and I’ve been eyeing this little cutie for quite a while. Isn’t it adorable? All it needs is a gold chain to go around my neck …( hmmm, on second thought my little girl’s neck) and it would be the perfect gift I think any girl would love to receive. Would you believe this charm alone without the necklace costs £145.00 already?  Oh, for the love of ballet, talaga. I wish I may, I wish I might, Have this wish… now na!

…. this one would really be. Hubby and I have been drooling over this Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph. Hubby chose this over all the other luxury watches we were looking at and when we took a closer look at the product description I was surprised that this was the watch Olympians Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe advertised. Hmmm, seems that hubby’s got a good eye for these boy blings LOL. He’s got tEys.t! Check out the specs at watchesandbeyond.com. Awesome! Of course the price is quite wallet-busting awesome too.  lol Libre naman mangarap, di ba? :)
