today's longsilog Thinking about making my own shirt-dress. I have this t-shirt that fits well and if it was longer, it could be a dress. I figure if I get 2 yards of good fabric {stretch cotton?}, I can lay this shirt down, mark the fabric on each side {a few inches out and longer at the bottom}, cut and sew them together. All by hand because we don't have a sewing machine. It's simple enough in my head and I know it will be easier if I know how to sew. BUT I can drop the new fabric idea {spend zero money - yay} and use this guide with a man's dress shirt . There should be one around here, smelling of kulob but nothing a quick wash can't get off. Of course, what I will make will not come out as close to amazing as the ones on Dana's tutorial. Mine will probably look like a paper dress that you put on a cutout cardboard doll. Oh and the sleeves... how in the world am I going to do that?!? There might be blood, sweat and tears with this still-thinkin

Chikity China the Chinese chicken Have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin' So hot and muggy now. It is worse at noon and sometimes after midnight {yes I said "after midnight"; think dripping sweat at 2AM}. Someone said I should turn the a/c on. Right, not gonna happen {until i can't bear it or the hardware here starts melting}. Why? Because households in the Philippines pay the highest electricity rate per kwh in Asia ! That's why.

it WAS bad yakult! my tummy rumbled last night. thank goodness i didn't barf. we checked the other four bottles from the same lot tonight and they were all spoiled; had a hint of sour, like orange juice. i suspect it was left in the heat before the grocer put them in the chiller because they were marked to expire 28th April pa . sayang. on a happier note, we have been eating ripe, sweet mangoes for the past two days. yum.

hello tuesday! blame i slept 10 hours as expected, made up for what happened yesterday. seriously, one bad zzz followed by one good zzz - again and again - what is happening? because nothing's different... wait! there is that c24/7 supplement and there is that anxiety {not new but only a little worse}. so, i'll pick one and blame that. caution i could have ingested bad yakult tonight. it tasted off. i thought it was my strawberry lip balm until i smelled the bottle - that was off too. too bad i already swallowed most of it. well i'm not yakking yet. still, it can be an interesting evening. better put the garbage can close to the bed tonight. then again it was a teeny 80 ml thing so it can't be that bad, can it? heck i'm probably worrying about nothing. then again... dun... dun... dun.
