dugtungan mo: tuwing umuulan at biglang umaaraw…
(or, quite literally, continue the thought: when it rains and then the sun suddenly shines…)
i was listening to my dj friend’s radio show one tuesday afternoon, and this was his question of the day. i had but one answer: it probably means i’m hot as hell.
usually when it gets rainy here i suit-up for it. long sleeves, layers, tights… the whole deal. i guess you could say i get over-excited about the rain. but when you live in a tropical country such as ours where there is only hot and hotter climate, a bit of cool weather is more than welcome — in my books, at least.
on the day i wore this dress, there was such an occurence with the sun ‘stopping’ the rain rather abruptly. it was right after a storm was just announced to be wreaking havoc in several parts of the country; when classes were suspended at noon and apparently, neck-deep floods were everywhere. but alas, by mid-afternoon it was all gone, and all i was left with was the warmest outfit i’ve ever put together.
dress (it’s brown and red, in case the sad-quality photos aren’t able to show that) – from beijing
my favorite rainy-day oxfords – thrifted
earrings – gift from eons and eons ago
bag – gift for mom, given to me. life is dandy.

Great details on the dress and I love the shoes. Schizophrenic weather always confuses me!

aww i remember i used to have a bag like that. my tita bought it for me from baguio when she went back for a vacation…
i don`t know what happened to that bag. now seeing it in your post makes me wish i had it again.
i should go searching for it.
i love the dress, but you`re right – couldn`t even tell it was brown! i thought it was navy. in any case, imagining it brown & red, it`s cute :3

It has sort of been like that in Vancouver lately. Rainy mornings and then warm and dry after noons. ARG !
