Dress for the ASEAN Business Conference

August 31, 2017 Manila

Unlike when I was a lot younger when my tolerance for heat was still high, nowadays I dread wearing business suits because it makes me feel very warm. Mere looking at it makes me feel kilabot na from the heat.
The dress code for the ASEAN Business Conference is business attire. I don’t like to wear a suit. Wearing a dress inside and layering it with a cardigan or a light blazer is a good compromise.

I bought this black lace dress in Prague and the cardigan is from the US.

Only the front is lace. The back part is made of plain black cotton.

Na-stress ako ke Antonia. I already taught her how to take a photo eh ang kulit. I already focused the camera and told her to just hold it steady and press the button but she kept on moving the camera up and down and sideways. Then she kept on pressing the home button and not the photo icon.
I called the other maid to take my picture instead.
Antonia—-“Jen, tawag ka ni mam, na-stress sya sa akin”.

I was about to leave when I noticed the headline about the Marcos wealth.

The conference registration starts at 7 am. There’s no way I would be able to make it at 7 am even at 8 or 9 or 10 or 11 am. Mornings are tough because I have a lot of errands in the morning. Eto, late na to the conference, pa pose-pose pa, pa basa-basa pa ng dyaryo. Then I have to go to two places before heading to PICC for the ASEAN conference.
