Of bag lady looks, the Wednesday Club and freelance writer things

The Bag Lady

Ever since I got the big Paisley bag, I’ve been meaning to do a post on some of the looks I’ve put together with the bag. Then I realized they’re just my usual getup plus the bag. Hah. Anyway, I decided to just feature what I wore to dinner a few nights ago. I met up with some of my former colleagues from my last firm and this is what I wore. I call it the Bag Lady Look.

TADA! Big skirt plus big bag equals bag lady in the house, y’all! I should have worn the bag on my shoulder in this photo to illustrate. Anyway, just imagine the big blue bag hanging on my shoulder instead of sitting on that divan over there. Do you see it?

I really love this skirt. Got it from our Beijing trip two years ago. It’s one of those swishy skirts so I really love walking in it. Got this racerback top from a tiangge in Burham Park in Baguio. I just wore slim flip-flops with bronze straps to complete this outfit.

The Wednesday Club

I look forward to Wednesdays because of two things: ultimate frisbee training and Uncle Moe’s. My team the Warriors have training from 8-10 PM. We do drills and pick-up games. Then right after, some of us head to Uncle Moe’s for dinner. Bwahaha. It has become a habit and sometimes I look forward to the food more. Hah. Uncle Moe’s offers shawarma, kebabs and the like. I always order the same thing: keema with buttered rice, extra salsa and AllMyTea, a super yummy bottled iced tea that doesn’t seem to be available anywhere else. Carpet Head orders the same dish with extra buttered rice instead of salsa and regular Coke. Mmmm brains… I mean, mmmm keema.

Freelance Writer Things

So you know, I thought I should give an update on my freelance writing work or as my sister calls it, my fake job. I have no ongoing projects on oDesk, but I was able to transfer the money I earned to my bank account. Cool, right? Took only two days for the transfer to complete. oDesk offers different ways for you to withdraw your earnings and there’s a very small fee involved in almost all of them. It’s all good.

I’m still doing the fashion description gig, which I really enjoy. I get my payment through PayPal and I have also been able to withdraw some of my earnings through my bank account. Really cool. It took three days, but I’m not complaining.

So there. I’m not really earning much, but I’m grateful for the extra cash, and at least my brain gets to do a little thinkin’ while I’m bummin’.

That is all for today. Thanks.

Wow, three posts in a week. I’m on a roll.
