From the day Superga reached our shores i was so excited to have one but it was so expensive. A good thing Rustan's had their annual year end sale and the Superga which cost 2250php is now on 1650php. I bought a coral sneakers. Hopefully my feet wont grow anymore so i can wear it like forever.

Im almost done with my christmas shopping. Kids gift, check! For my team, check! For kada, check! This monday ill finish everyone on my list.

Last saturday, Tans and I went to SMEX for the BPI madness sale. I bought a Melissa shoes for 1500 only. At first i was hesitant coz i could get a knockoff at 10% its price but it smells so inviting (yes i smelled it) and its so comfy.

Its one of the old stocks but i dont mind. Anything that a pregnant girl would wear for comfort and style.


In Gray

Thank heavens thats the only thing i bought there. I was so hesitant to spend.

Being at work for a minimum of 10 hours a day, thats considered a good day, brings out the shopaholic in me.

I rewarded myself for the efforts i did and will do by giving in and buying shoes or 2 pairs to be exact.

A Paez sandals, will post picture once i wear them. And the much awaited to buy or not to buy, Fitflop.

Who said you cant wear happiness?

Doc Marten's MD

I was wishing to own a Doc Marten's for like 17 years already. Its like something i wish i had when i was still a teenager and after so long i now own one. Yeepee. Im so shallow.

Please ignore the stupid look on my face. I was still thinking if im getting the Gold or the Silver one.


I was at the verge of getting the Silver one but the shop assistant told me the gold looks better. I tried it on again and again and I was convinced.

(Ignore the stupid pose)

Yay! I now own an 8 eye ( hole) Doc Marten's boot. I was just shouting this one out on Facebook the other week and i saw those babies in Festival Mall. I think they're just selling all the remaining stocks and they'll pull out. Sad. This is so meant to be ( to have the shoes that is).

And to add another gastos for today. I bought two gray shirts from Cherry Rocking Blue ( same owner of the defunct Camp Beverly Hill). I wasnt able to take a picture of their interior but it was so lovely. Goth-Glam lovely.

This reminded me of MAD or Jay Leno or David Letterman.


For the record the design is a Ladybug and NOT a cockroach. hehehe

Temporary Happiness

They say you cant always get what you want. But if you really look for it you'll have it. Okay, i dont want to be too profound about this blog coz once again im blogging about shallow stuff.

Presenting my dream Lunchbox.



Since im getting dyahe in using my old lunchbox which has my previous company LOGO on it, i was searching high and low for an ultimate lunchbox. Most of the lunchbox out in the market are either super expensive, too cute ( i wouldn't mind a Lisa Frank one) or common looking, the one i scored is the Best. Lock and Lock lunchbox. Imagine, it has an insulator inside which can keep the temperature of the food, it comes with containers inside and the budget friendly part there is its 10% off. I bought it for 650PHP. Now im a happy lunchbox carrier and i dont need to be conscious everytime i carry my baon.

The shoes that wont let me sleep.



I bought it already. After too much contemplating and waiting for a sponsor which never came i spent my hard earned moolah for it. I cant wait to wear it.

So another mundane post from me. Just to let the world know that im still alive.

My shopping escapade.
Early breakfast meeting with Mac brings me to places wherein i would wonder, why in the world was i there. After a jolly hotdog we decided to go to Divisoria. I swear it was never peer pressure.

This are what i got.


Blue Tank top for 50 pesos. Blue shorts for 100pesos. Red earrings for 20.00php.

Orange wayfarer for 200php.


And a green plaid blouse for 350pgp. Im addicted to plaid now...i know, its just a phase.

I cant say im back with my old self. What is my old self by the way? My old self is the one who enjoys the mall, fitting and buying and swiping and at the end when its ime to consolidate the expenses realize that, im a shophaholic.

Here are some stuff i bought.

This dress is from Get Laud. I thought it wouldnt fit but their clothes are figure friendly. Plus the price is pocket friendly too. Proudly Pinoy.

This top is my fave. I was trying to find any plaid blouse in Ukay but there's none. When i saw this in Human, which i dont normally go into, i bought it. Hanz calls this my Jessie blouse ( from Toy story).

Im also itching to buy a new havies but decided not too. This is something i buried for a long time, buying stuff using my card. I normally save money and buy in Ukay or Divi but i felt that time i have to reward myself for my hardwork. Okay, okay..im justifying. hahaha

Im still reading the 3rd installment of The Twilight saga. I want to tug Bella's hair until it falls off. Violent hehehe...feeling maganda kasi or kainin na lang sya ni Victoria.

Im currently listening to Jason Mraz - Im yours and No Doubt - Running.

Im suppose to be sleeping now coz after 4 hours im awake again and off to work.

My 1st ever Havaianas and other Sole related Products.

Pronounced as ah-vai-yah-nas, which is Portuguese for Hawaiians.

I know i know. This is too juvenile but i just want to say that after 4 years since this tsinelas
(what my ofcmates say when i ask why are they wearing tsinelas to work: excuse me this is not tsinelas, this is Havaianas) was launched in our tropical island i bought my own pair.

Aint it cute? I was looking for the 2006 edition, if you could remember the Jungle theme but its not sold anymore. What made me buy one? First, i got it in a cheaper price, 651.00php only. Second, oh there is no second. Just for the price. I even bought one for my mom and for my brother. So technically, i paid mahal din. Hanz was not interested so i didn't get him any and Roo has his little Dupe which is way cuter and cheaper compared to the little Havaies being sold.

So now, i have a new foot wear to make laspag. Bad bad me, i wore them to church twice already.

-------------------------------------

I love my Happy feet sandals but my white one is so old and the sole is chapped already i decided to donate it. I asked HF how much would be the cost if i get it repaired, its around 800php. Well, better buy a new one instead. They have this new style which has a built in massager which looks like the tip of the Mongol eraser, its so comfy when you wear it but aesthetically it looks weird. Hey! I like weird stuff that's why im contemplating whether or not to get it not.

I bought a Wade flats in silver with a Fleur-De-Liz buckle. It reminds me of the Tory Burch sandals. Its so comfy. Sana it would last long. I decided NOT to buy any Crocs sandals anymore, since it was my 2007 statement.

This coming year my statement would be...As simple as possible. Back to basics. So hopefully, i could achieve it.

Hello and Goodbye

Its pay day once again and time for me to do my accounting. While i was in the process of my art i realized that my beloved wallet is falling apart. I had this for 2 years now and its been with me through bounty and drought. I felt really sad to part with my all beautiful ala Bottega but i had to....until there is still the awe of beauty left on it. Its so dramatic of me but having an item with me for a long time, its like part and parcel of my trips my everyday life. Anyway, i dont want to sound so materialistic but i want to show you my new wallet. Its Uber Jam ( yeah like super jam). Its Amethyst in color and in soft leather. Some say that when buying a wallet make sure that its color will attrack money so i got ube....sana madaming 100, like limpak limpak, to share to everyone.

Last Friday i texted my mom and asked if she could drop me at Greenhills. She willingly agreed to the point of joining me and brought me to the office after. Yey!!
So what did i buy? A leather headband for 50pesos and a bangle (darna ala piña look), the bangle looks like it has too many eyes, for 150php. My mom tricked me to buy clothes for Roo, not that i dont want, but it was not part of the agenda. So i bought a red polo shirt, blue twill pants, blue shirt and a khaki shorts all Tommy Hilfiger,i dont even like the brand! for 850php. Not bad. I was so happy coz not all the time i get to spend time with my mom and i felt that she went out of her way to be with me, since she has work too.

My brother made his regular Saturday visit and we had dvd marathon. We watched Little Miss Sunshine.

and he was like, why do they keep on saying F_ _ K, i was like, sheesh i forgot to give the disclaimer that this movie is not for kids even id there is a kid in it. After that we watched the premier telecast of Eureka!, we liked it.

Sunday was spent visiting my mom and brother, Roo and I slept, Hanz set-up a pc for Rap since mine conked out. I called my Lolo and Lola at the province and asked how they were. My Lola told me to bite Roo's bumbum for her, so cute. Tap was singing Super Freak, which was the song the kid form Little Miss Sunshine performed to, nyay! Mommy and Roo had so much time bonding. Roo was so hyper and talkative, my mom was so kilig everytime Roo does something. She keeps on saying "Sa akin nya nakuha yan". As if! hehehe

I took a vacation leave for a day to look after Roo since the other lola is out of town. So Ninang May visited us and we went to the mall to buy milk. Thank heavens SM is just walking distance away. We strollered our way to the mall and back. Hmm, something to raise brows, since i bought milk and a hanger for my accessories, i told both bagger at the counter not to put it in a plastic bag, they were like...ah ok, are you sure? I was like, yeah..please dont, i can manage just give me the receipt, they were like, Duh. I was like, Ewan!

Being a mom and a daughter are two different feelings which are both blissful and rewarding. My mom now keeps on reminiscing of how i was when i was a kid, comparing me to my son. I feel the bond that we have is stronger than ever not because im a mother and i can relate to her but because she feels her baby girl is now a grown-up and is now responsible enough to take care not just for herself but for a little one as well. I admit its not that easy being a mom, the patience should be a mile long and the love really should be unconditional. The latter part is not hard at all, i just never thought i could be that kind of person. i love you God Almighty for giving me precious treaures...iloveyou Hanzy, iloveyou Roo, I love you mommy, iloveyou Rap...i love you World...

Im currently listening to Mika, ah love it too!!!

Im coming out in the open. I am a self confessed Shopaholic. Here are my normal lists of things I buy in a month. A book or books whatever good/cheap title there is in Booksale. Back issue magazines (3 for 100 or 2 for 100)for my monthly doze of mom power (Working mom & Smart Parenting), the fashion mag i get it from my mom's monthly stash.

DVD's of TV series like Heroes and Eureka. Not so much of a Grey's Anatomy fan but i like watching the series on StarWorld.

The thing that scares me now is that everytime i get online and see something cute and weird, i order and i buy. My constant request is for my hubby to stop me in placing that order.

I know i should prioritize things and leave within or even below my means but i cant. The more stress i am, the more i justify the little things i buy for myself. I dont know. Everybody is in some kind of stress in their lives so i really dont understand why is it such an effort for me not to spend. Take note im not splurging but of course, i dont have the luxery to do so.

My recent fascination is: The Plueys' Wellies.

I did a survey whether i would buy them or not and the answers are NO i should not buy it. But they are so cute and i really really was looking for something like it, di pa man dumadating yung tag ulan. Hopefully SM would have something which is cheaper, then i wouldnt feel guilty buying it.

Im so happy i arrived early from work and i have time to do my pc thingies. Were now getting used to taking the cab home from work which is a little expensive, additional 20 pesos from the normal rate but less stress and less effort to commute.

I discovered someone right now by reading Angie's blog. Its James Morrison. I like him, he sounds like Rob Thomas and Jason Mraz combined. Now im hooked.

Im debating on my girly kikay stuff. To shop or not to shop. Mango and Zara is still having their Mid year Sale so shucks! EQ issue nanaman ito!!!

Roo's teeth are showing. Im so proud of my baby boy. His so like me. hahaha. Patay si Hanz! Imagine, he got my lambing and harot moments, even my topaks. hehehe

I wish i could stretch my time more to my family rather than work but of course, that's one of the sacrifices a working mom should make. I wish i just don't compromise one from another.

I like what im doing in my work right now. I assist agents, i give them feedback. This is so my calling. Sometimes, i get disoriented, i say my spiels when i was still working at the airport to my call center agents. Dazed!

Things would be better. There's always a rainbow after the rain. - Southborder
