I am fond of dresses, whether long or short, floral or
plain…name it, I have them in all sorts inside my little closet. Other than
it’s easy to wash and wear, I feel more feminine (which I really like) and more
graceful whenever I wear a dress.
While shopping, I found a dress that made me decide to buy
it, even without trying it on first. In other words, it was love at first
sight! This is very rare, as I always fit a dress before purchase.

It’s a maxi dress, which I wore during our New Year’s party.

And so, to spice up my 2012, I decided to wear this dress
100 times this year. Hahaha, yes, I know its crazy (and I am crazy!), but I am
going to do it. I will wear this dress in 100 different places and occasions. I
will document it, whenever I can, and share with you my journey with the
Travelling Dress.
I hope this dress is durable enough to endure 100 washings,
hahaha.
Come on, it’s almost the end of the world. It’s time to do
something crazy. And stupid.

*********************************
How did you welcome 2012?
In Davao,
fireworks/firecrackers were banned for almost 10 years now. Since then, torotot
had been our source of noise, and aluminum trays that we bang on the walls to
drive away the negative spirits. Very primitive, I know. But Davaoenos get to
welcome the new year accident-free, and with complete 10 fingers. Plus it means
holiday for doctors and nurses as casualties are nil.
Others get in their cars to honk the horn incessantly, while
some drive around with tin cans attached to their vehicle. Again, very
primitive hahaha.
We got used to it eventually. When the ban was first
implemented, a lot of eyebrows from the people were raised. But the Mayor was
stiff, strict implementation with no exceptions was enforced.
Anyway, after blowing away the torotot, we had Media Noche
together as family.
My favorite heart-stopper: LECHON!
Shrimps and macaroni salad made by Mom:
Spaghetti of my Tita Fe:
And a lot more!

Our celebration ended at 6am! And slept the whole day of January 1.
