Peek-a-boo!
Okay, this is more of a Topaz Mommy post but since I promised my mommy readers over there that my next post there is the second part of Iñigo's birthday, I kinda had to put this one here. I just wanted to show you my birthday boy's favorite game to play.

Topaz Fashion: My favorite breastfeeding dress
I get a lot of questions about clothes I wear that are fit for breastfeeding. Mommies ask me that all the time because frankly, there's not enough stylish nursing clothes in Manila. I've been able to get a few nice ones but here's my current favorite:
It's a gray empire-waist dress with flared sleeves from Dote Studio from Singapore. I bought it and another nursing dress from Brandsfever. I won't be doing that again. The dresses cost me P4,197.63. Then when they arrived at the post office, I had to pay P1,786 for customs duty, EVAT, IPF, CDS and BIR stamp. I have no idea what the last three are but pay I must so pay I did.
Anyway, I love my Dote Studio dresses! They're made of really nice cloth unlike the many nursing mommy clothes out there, which are usually made of this horrible thin cotton-like thing that clings to every post-preggy lump. Just look at it. It doesn't even look like a breastfeeding dress!
I wore it to a lunch date with Vince at Circles, Makati Shangri-la...
... and to coffee with my Wine Night friends at Apartment 1B in One Rockwell.
I'll blog about my other breastfeeding dresses and topssoon on August! Hehe, that's Breastfeeding Awareness Month. I want to take better pictures of my nursing clothes so that you mommies will see that your style doesn't have to suffer when you breastfeed!

Living on a free tank of gas!
I'm sure you've seen this super fun prank but I can't stop watching it so you might as well watch it, too! It just brightens up anyone's day!
Gotta love people who are game for anything, right? With the high price of gas these days, I do believe people would do anything for a free full tank of the stuff. But these two amazing people should get even more just for being so fabulously entertaining!
Vince said as he watched the video, "You know what they say: Behind every successful man is a woman laughing hysterically." I love this couple!
Happy Monday!
P.S. Speaking of free gas, I'd like to thank Pilipinas Shell for sponsoring our gasoline. We really do love the racing fuel!
