MANILA, Philippines – The most wonderful time of the year is finally here. Since it’s the “ber” months, it’s much more reasonable for us to bust out our sweaters. We may not be as lucky as those experiencing the fall or autumn with their fancy trench coats and venti pumpkin spice lattes, but we do have a good amount of rain that will help us get our senti on (and probably occasional class cancellations).
When enjoying precious down time, you can either take the relaxing route or the productive route. Whatever you choose, there’s a comfy pullover that will help you get your chill on. Whoever it was that said graphic tees are the only things that can make a statement clearly hasn’t found the perfect sweaters to express his or herself.
For the tita at heart
A day off from school and work is the greatest thing a proud tita can wish for. It’s the best time to catch up on some reading and have a custom spa day. You’re free to do anything under the sun, really. As long as it doesn’t involve staying up until the wee hours of the morning.

For the horror junkie
When it comes to watching horror, you want to immerse yourself in the movie. Turn off the lights, pop in The Ring or Cabin in the Woods, get some snacks and put on your comfiest sweater. After all, you might be in your seat for a very long time.

For the #feels fella
Have you ever been in love? Of course you have. Like many great loves, yours might not have ended well. Good thing for you, the weather is on your side. Pull out your City and the Colour and Bon Iver records and wallow in your sadness. There’s nothing wrong with having a good cry once in a while.

For the productive creative
You take advantage of a day off from school to work on your creative projects. You spend countless hours hunched over your Moleskine, jotting down places you want to go, movies you want to watch and blog entries you want to write, all while looking cute.
