Back to the 80's

Watched 3 80's movies in a row earlier. Sixteen Candles. The Breakfast Club. The Goonies. See, I don't watch enough TV, I tell ya!

Needless to say, I've lost count of the number of times I've seen these movies, among the oh-so-many 80's fave flix. And every time I watch these movies, my focus always kinda hone in on one aspect of the movie. It's always a different focus every time.

This time, it's Molly Ringwald's outfit in The Breakfast Club.

First,  I noticed her top as it reminds me of the shirt that I decided not to get at Topshop. Then I noticed the rest of the outfit. Not that I haven't paid attention to it, but more so today, I suppose.

It got me thinking how Claire (Molly Ringwald's character) will fit in just fine in today's world, albeit with a bit of tweaking.

This would've been my version:

So there goes my ode to Claire.

On another note, got a message from a friend yesterday about a sale that she knows I will not be able to resist as it involved a pair of shoes that she knows I've been looking for a while now. Not that it was so difficult to find, but more so I wanted it a certain price point (translation: sale price).

In short, as I thought of Claire earlier, today's purchase ends up being an ode to Allison (Ally Sheedy's character).

I know I'm aging myself, but what can I say, I'm a product of the 80's... "don't you forget about me..."

It's Friday I'm In Loooove...

I say this vid is worth re-posting! Over and over... :)





The day could not have finished fast enough. I think the mere thought of it being a long weekend just made it so. By the way, Happy Labour Day! Bonus part, it's an extra long weekend for me as I'm not working Tuesday as well, big whoooop!!!

For lunch today, I finally went to La Taqueria. Been meaning to come here for a loooong while, having heard nothing but awesome stuff about this place. And now that I've gone, I don't know what I was waiting for, seriously. Mind you, I'll probably get the evil eye for saying this but I think it's just as good as this other Mexican restaurant on Robson that shall remain nameless for this post:p Not necessarily better, for me, but equally yummmmy!

And with a glass of orchata, not a bad way to mark the start of the weekend, eh?

Now with the 4 days of weekend ahead of me, I'll be doing nothing but relax, hopefully:p

my weekend reading

What can I say, September issue(S) will always have that hold on me, a'ight?

Happy weekend!!!

It's Friday I'm in Love

Right after dinner, as me and hubby were getting some "fresh air" in the balcony, I could have sworn it's Saturday tomorrow, and already, I started thinking, yeay, I can sleep in. Then just as soon the thought came, so it went, when I realized it's only Thursday. Booo!!!!!

Not sure if this is the right pick-me-upper for the moment, nonetheless, I love this song!




This song, it always take me back to high school. Eeeeek, did I just date myself?!?!? Meh, who cares! It'll always be Friday I'm in love! :)

For now, in the words that me and past co-worker came up with, T.G.I.F.T.! Thank God It's Friday Tomorrow!!!! LOL
