Agro Trade Fair Goodies

There was this Agro Trade Fair last week in Capitol, which will only last a week. Lucky us, we're having our OJT in the Palace of Justice, which is just behind the Capitol, we were able to shop all these yummy goodness. Agro Trade Fair sells foods, vegetables, delicacies, fruits, accessories, clothes, shoes, and other stuff at lower prices. These are what I bought.

Super delicious chocolate milk, 500g only at Php40.00. This is Chrisia and I's favorite choco milk drink when we were in 1st year. We used to buy tetra packs(180g) of this after our CS class at night in SM. But their stall closed. So sad. After 3 years, I get to taste this choco milk, again. Imagine my excitement and happiness. Don't know where to buy this elsewhere, though.

Coral purse for only Php15.00. Bought two of this, one for my sister and one for me. She's a jealous bitch.

Adjustable, unique necklace for only Php50.00, originally at Php80.00. Last one left. Star and Lordee reserved it for me. They know how much I love lace and floral stuff. The lace and floral spheres got me.

Blue flats made in Car-Car for only Php160.00, sold at Php250.00 in Car-Car. This one is for my sister, because again, she's a jealous bitch.

Black flats, which I DIY-ed, for only Php160.00.

I am so glad to have helped and contributed to our local business industry by buying local products.

DIY Ankle Strap Shoes


I have a DIY shoes wherein I adorned the ankle straps to the toes. Now, it's the other way around. However, there is no strap to begin with, this time. I sew ankle straps all by myself.

This is probably the hardest DIY project I have ever made in my entire life. Not to say the most time-consuming. This is what I have been busy for two consecutive nights. I spent two hours on each shoe each night.

The shoes before I DIY-ed it. Only showing the right shoe because I'm done with the left one by the time I took this shot.


The shoes after I DIY-ed it. 

How I did it:

First, I grabbed a black cloth fragment. Measured my ankle, cut the cloth, and sew the ankle straps. I, then, sew the buttons to the straps. After that, I cut through the strap to make a button hole, and sew them. Then, I sew a thingy to where the straps pass through, and sew it to the shoes after. I then inserted the straps into those thingy. And there I have it. A DIY ankle strap shoes.

Pretty much easy to say, but so hard to do. I even accidentally pricked my finger while I was laughing at Conan O'Brien. I just love that hilarious guy.

P.S. I'm using an online collage maker this time. This old, slow laptop has no Adobe Photoshop. That is the reason why the photos don't have watermarks. Credits to Photovisi.
