The Best Things in Life Are Free

Last month, I turned a year older but I was too busy and preoccupied to even celebrate my birthday. Why? Because my birthday fell on the week before the first Sunday of the bar exams. Sucks right? So much for having a bonggang bongga celebration. But still, the LOML, who’s also taking the bar exams by the way, still managed to make that day special. Thank you, LOML. =)

We had lunch at Chelsea Market and Cafe in Serendra (since it’s close to school LOL and Rockwell was definitely not an option puhleez haha)

A haggard-looking birthday girl. Haha

Thank you, LOML =)

Grilled-Roasted Herb Chicken and Crispy Bacon salad

Grandma’s Crispy Duck Confit and Mushroom Risotto (yumminess!)


The night before, since we would be studying late anyway, cramming for the first Sunday of the bar exams (Political Law, Labor Law, and Taxation Law…my hatest subjects in law school), the LOML  decided to give me a birthday salubong and so he gave my gift at the stroke of midnight. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE his gift. He got me none other than…

Jeffrey Campbell Tick!!! I looooooooooove it! THANK YOOOOU!=))

(why are my legs so shiny? eew)

And so, I decided to wear them immediately the following day haha excited much?=)

Dress: Thrifted | Blazer: ShopVintageFinds | Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell | Bag: Chanel

My birthday outfit. Since I’m such a sucker for tutu skirts and dresses, I decided to wear this. Never mind that it’s a little overdressed for reviewing in the library but hey, it’s my birthday (and even if it weren’t I would still dress up haha). I’m not used to wearing cream r white-colored dresses and skirts so I decided to toughen up the look by adding this military blazer. There’s an interesting story behind my dress but I’ll save that for a later post. 

Thank you to everyone who greeted me, to my friends and study buddies for giving me food (since I’m such a foodie! haha) and special shoutout to my seatmate for four years in law school, Tin, for making everyone sign my giant birthday card, and also to all those who took the time to sign the card. I really appreciate your effortsm considering that all of us were cramming.
