Anyway, so ill see you there okay? I will sell some clothes (for only 150php each) and all the profits from (my clothes) will go to GMA Kapuso Foundation and some more percentage from my shoe store, Shoe Etiquette. I wish you'd be there and buy my shoes for a great bargain price. I promise you'd love it.

And it's a fun fun day filled with giveaways and lots lots more. Stay the whole day and just talk to everyone. There will be food, make overs/make under, a concert! It's gonna be a big big party.

So see you there????

Okay there's more...

Friends, I Need Your Blessings

....or I will throw myself down this road.

If you don't understand what am talking about , it's okay, It's me. You see a couple of months ago I got an email from The Philippine Blog Awards that I received a nomination for the Beauty and Fashion category, all thanks to Ezra Montemayor for nominating me. And today, a very special day, I made the final cut. See here. (Evidence????) Seriously? The Philippine Blog Awards???? Big Deal! It made me really happy to think that there's someone out there thinking of me as a "blogger". Sometimes it's difficult for me to believe in myself and in what I do. Most of the time I cringe at the thought of me actually reaching out to people, afraid am being arrogant for accepting praise and comments, afraid it would get into my head. Because seriously how can it not get into your head?

Blogging changed my life. But not really. You know what I mean?

Recently my family got hold of an old magazine where I got a little feature alongside other Manila's top bloggers. My brother was like "Ate Ikaw to? Nasa magazine ka? Paano?" (Ate, is this you? You we're in a magazine? How?) Why didn't you tell us? ...well among many-more-other questions. I have no idea why I didn't told them. I can't remember my reasons last year. I know it's a big deal, at least for me. Deep inside it is. I am happy. Am leaping with joy. I remember not sleeping out of excitement. But each time am about to tell them I shrug it all off and think it's not that big a deal. So forgive me for not telling this one to you. I tried to make a post about it, but it never happened. Again I don't know why. Guess, I really need to believe in myself more.

You see I blogged because I am a loser. I still feel the same way till now. But that's another story I will tell you soon since I am (now) confident enough to admit how much of a loser I am.

It's a crazy world out there. But am glad I have come to "meet" you all here. I am grateful for you. I don't say that because I wanna butter you up. c",) But seriously am happy doing this little thing called blogging. Am glad that through Denise Katipunera, I am able to talk about my life as a wife and a mother in a positive way and to share with you my latest fashion interests and my thrift adventures. I am happy here. Denise Katipunera is my other home and I hope you feel that you're always welcome in here.

Anyway, this is long.

I am happy that's all.

I hope you're happy for me too.

love, Denise

ps,
i finally told my Mom bout this and she took me out shopping today. But Ill stick to my recent thrift finds. After all I look so much better in ukay dresses.

pps,
this is my 5th attempt to publish this post. I am the oldest chicken in the whole world. true story!

ppppppssss,
I wanna win.

The Baby (in the family) Is Gonna Be A Daddy

This is Carlos Doni and we have same Mom and Dad. Yup! you can say that we are brothers and sisters. We're pretty tight growing up. It's nice to remember that He once made me a bully. Only because I love him and I have to play his bodyguard. Oh that was a long time ago. I don't have to bully his bullies anymore. Look at him all grown up and soon he's gonna be a Daddy. A Daddy! We're all excited for him. This is gonna be great. Yllac having a cousin? Our small family is expanding pretty pretty fast.

My brother's wife, Vanessa

am currently working on our family photos. There's just too many. I hope to show them to you soon if you'd like???

This Is Not An Attempt To Color Block

Crazy how "they", the ""authorities in fashion"" (take note of the double quote) coin new terms for fashion trends ei? Before, it's just called colors. Now it's (yup!) color-blocking. What's next? Print blocking?

scarf: from Baguio
jumpsuit: thrift
booties: Make Me Chic

My recent Thrift Shopping According to iphone

Thrift stores, i love you. You smell so bad, I love you.

I am thankful to thrift shopping it made my life so easy, so light, so fun, and affordable and colorful for I am a girl who wants to impress for less.

Thankful

Here's my happiness. Right here in my arms. Anywhere I go there he is smiling at me. In the morning, mid day, afternoon, in the evening, in my dreams, basically every minute of the day this tot of mine gave me sense of self worth, the reason to be happy, the icing on the cake on my marriage, and to be faithful to the love of God. He is the embodiment of what my life is all about.

I am thankful I am a mom above everything else. I am thankful Yllac is mine for the rest of my life. I am thankful that he's a happy baby. He sure is more than I could dream of. He's awesome. He's a dynamite. He really is. You should meet him sometime and see what am talking about. But of course I am his mom, his very first and number one fan since birth. And I love him. Bet you already know that. And oh look at his eyelashes! Got to admit I'm kind of jealous..... Oh my! Is that even allowed?

I Can See All Mommas Gonna Agree On This

Having a baby changes your mind and body, BUT it never takes away your desire to indulge in fashion. But for the first time in my life I don't use my clothes as a measuring stick on my own contentment. Perhaps, most of the time in my life now there isn't much a mirror in sight. Being a mom taught (more like forced) me not check myself through a mirror's reflection (especially all parts wobbly). Whatever size I am now, me!no!care!anymore! After all this is the body that gave me my son.

poncho: thrift
leggings: from mom
boots: Make Me Chic

Future Best Friends

No pressure really. But for us, their parents being friends for more than a decade can't help but force them to be best friends too. Just look how awesome they are. I sure hope they click. Because that would be the absolute nicest thing ever!

Style Vs Halloween Costume

Must admit that after seeing again The Hamburgler weeks ago i fell in love with the whole look so I recreate it in my own girl-y way. So here I am, The lady Hamburglar. Next week, I am working on Ronald McDonald. c",)

cardigan: bazaar
dress: Cole Vintage
booties: Make Me Chic

Oh Nothing Special, Just Feeling a Bit Colorful

Have a Happy Happy Happy Happy Sunday everyone!

This is the BEST Sunday of my life. Am not doing anything, not.a.thing.

I love it. Because I can't remember the last time i sit in front of a tv, just watching crap and eating dip. This is simply gooood.
