We all have our favorite titas, usually in all their pearls-and-pashmina glory, but did you know that there's a tita in all of us? Yes, you read that right! Here's a quick checklist to find out if you're still a tita-in-training or well on your way to becoming true tita!

1. Your "pamalengke bag" is courtesy of Longchamp.

2. You'd pick iced tea over beer ANY TIME.

3. Your friends invite you out on a Friday night, but you decline.
You've already got plans, a.k.a., catching up on your favorite Koreanovela.

4. You're always prepared.
Your friends trust you to have tissue (wet and dry), breath mints, dental floss...

5. Your go-to OOTD: navy blouse, Tory Burch flats, Michael Kors watch, Longchamp bag, taupe scarf, rosary from Lourdes

6. You dish out love advice like a true tita.
"Belinda dapat matuto kang magluto. Pano ka magaasawa nyan?"
