    This Year in Clair’s Playlist

    This year (and last year) as well I’ve gone to several gigs of groups and bands I started listening to. And there are local artists whose works have prominently been on my playlist. I mean, I think I’ve been mainly on a Korean electropop and Vocaloids binge while I’m at work but aside [...]

  • Binging on Vocaloid Songs

    Binging on Vocaloid Songs

    Yesh, I am binging on Vocaloid songs. Not exactly a big fan of Hatsune Miku. I think she’s cute and all but I’m becoming more and more addicted to the voices of Kagamine Len, Megurine Luka and Gumi. I really love the songs I’ve found on YouTube and I ended up searching [...]

    Jonette’s lovely creations: skirt, petti, scarves

    I’ve asked my crafting buddy, Jonette, to make me some scarves (because she can knit!), a petti and 2 skirts. I already got my scarves and my striped skirt from her but I haven’t taken pictures yet because I am a shamelessly lazy cat ;_; And I don’t have my own digital camera. [...]

    Music Time: Let’s Listen to Up Dharma Down

    I’ve liked Up Dharma Down since I saw their video “Pag-agos” on tv. I was very intrigued because I didn’t see any credits during the first time I saw it. Until the day that no one told me it was Up Dharma Down, I had no idea. “Pag-agos” was interesting not only because [...]

  • Promod: My New Favorite Shop

    Promod: My New Favorite Shop

    I’ve always liked looking at the display of Promod, Trucco and Warehouse in Greenbelt 5. (I work in Legazpi Village and it’s really that often that I get to pass by this mall.) Anyhow, I know that Promod has a lot of pretty items when I went inside the Trinoma branch but it [...]

  • Shopping for Lolita Fashion in the Philippines

    Shopping for Lolita Fashion in the Philippines

    There are no brands here in the Philippines so local lolitas must be resourceful. Some of them who have been making clothes and accessories for themselves seem to have opened online shops, knowing that there are kindred spirits who share their interests. I’ve bought some products from some of them already and I’m [...]

    Crafting Buddy: Jonette

    These days I’ve been busy crafting at home. I guess that’s because the weather is not friendly enough for going out and taking pictures. I am sad that I can’t bring out my cameras much these days. But now that I have a sewing machine at home, I am more inspired [...]

    Addicted to Poupee

    Yes, I’ve become addicted to Poupee Girl, this social community based in Japan. You could upload pictures of your cute clothes and accessories and you’ve got people commenting on how nice they are, etc. The user with the most number of votes (re: cuteness) would win ribbons which count as currency in the [...]

    Tiangge shopping

    There’s always a bazaar beside Smart Tower every payday. I’ve been buying clothes from there almost every month since April and I love the clothes I’ve been buying. I got some cheap blouses for 150 each, shirts at 90 each (because of the buy one, take one deals). I am not a [...]
