Find SPONSORS
This is a blog on personal alternative style, photography, crochet, music, and DIY. People like to ask questions about my hair, so I answer them here. More detailed description below.
Jad Montenegro is musician and all-around bag lady. She is the current host of Muzika del Sur News and previous host of rock show Durian Shake. She just released her EP called Fixed Points and Pendulums for her self-titled band, with bandmates Dave Ibao on drums and Pjoe Sabanpan on bass. She was awarded Best Pop Artist of The Year by Muzika Del Sur for 2009, and won Best Music Video for 2010. She is the vocalist of Polar Depth, an electronica/experimental band. Polar Depth was also given a special citation for Breakout Electronica Artist in 2009. To support her bad habits, like playing gigs for free and producing an indie album, she works from home as a writer. She is married to professional comic illustrator John Amor, a.k.a The Boy.
She is not a professional blogger, but this is the space she compiles current obsessions in, like
DIY/crafts
clothes
nail polish
music
dyeing her hair
crocheting stuff for her facebook shop Hats and Things
and the occasional lulz-worthy photo.

Hello, Weirdo
Your Friendly Neighborhood Creepy Lady
Had a meeting with @tineserrano, @cheekiealbay, and @theaidxparedes today at Zabadani in Gaisano Mall’s The Peak. Cheekie, Tine and I agreed to be editorial consultants for a new online magazine called Lieu.
Basically as senior consultants (Cheekie is a writer at Cosmopolitan, Tine is a writer at Manila Bulletin and a styling consultant) we provide guidance regarding publishing policies and events production. Initially Lieu asked if we could be their Editors in Chief, but our busy schedules simply can’t accommodate it. Instead, we’ve become godmothers to Lieu’s team, as they are still finding their footing.
But, none of my photos captured the boring stuff, just a few silly moments caught by my new gif-making app. Lol.
Srs Bsns is Srs
Afterwards, this piece of heaven hiding in the grocery level chaos
Tine and Aidx goofing around
Me complaining that my kneehighs keep rolling down my thigh lol
Fashionable tootsies headed elsewhere.
Hype : Hard Day’s Night
Beatles DIY Fringe Tie-Dyed Top: Memphis Belle
Cherry Patent Docs
Skull Shades: Taobao
Leather Strap: Tiangge
Denim Cut offs: DIY
Memphis Belle, an alternative thrift shop (Davao-based) sent me this awesome top to style. It’s totally one of my favorite shirts now, the fit is loose just the way I like it!
Also, meet my couch, the new spot for all my outfit photos from now on. Wilson, my dog, now owns the garage and I can’t take photos there any more, unless I want him to be included in all the photos, lol.
MOAR OUTFITS
Buying MILK TEA which ended up not having any milk in it. See how dark the liquid in my hand is?! The lady wasn’t listening to my order at all. Plus when I asked them to poke a hole in it and put milk in, they said they couldn’t do it cos their lids were on inventory. WTF?! Last ka na lang, 360 degrees!

It felt like a bell-bottom corduroy pants kinda day. :P
What can I say, I grew up in the 90’s. I think bell bottoms and corduroys are OZZAM.
Today’s outfit was stellar.
Had band practice so I wore something comfortable. It was also a little cold so I bundled up.
Cut up a purple Superman shirt , wore a leopard vest over it and put on a pair of really old harem pants. I like to be comfortable during practices.
Wearing a hat I made myself. I got sick of crocheting so I took up knitting for a while. I just learned how to make cables, so:
Dooda, dooda, day.
xx Jad
P.S. I still haven’t gotten a copy of this month’s Pulp, rats. We’re featured in the Homegrown section of the January issue!
P.P.S. Our band’s studio has a new cat. His name is Bacon, and he’s really fat.
Outfake, because it’s a fake outfit. My original outfit was just my red dress and denim jacket. But I went out to have a meeting with Aidx and Mei and ended up buying a maxi skirt at this little shop inside Someplace Else. Tried it on and snapped a few photos before I took it off.
Totally wearing it today cos I’s a OUTFIT REPEATER <3
