holiday fix

...finally, the election fever will be over in the next few days...no more irritating political ads in TV/radio and all will be back to regular programming...i did not get the chance to vote coz i missed out on the registration (i'll try to make it the next time)...so to make use of the holiday, i decided to do some retail therapy hehe :)

...went around to look for some brown shirt to go along with my new shoes (which i will be getting later this afternoon hand carried by a friend)...sadly, Cebu is still very limited when it comes to shops for men...i just decided to go for the safest choice..a brown pique polo shirt from Lacoste



...went looking for something new to read after coz i haven't read anything new since the Percy Jackson series which was few months ago...ended up getting a cheap chicken cookbook (which i will be using this coming weekend) and American Gods by Neil Gaiman (which i'm enjoying so far...5 chapters down)



...the rest of the night was spent chatting over Skype and by tonight i'll be back to work again...only this time i think i got a reason to be a bit excited about it :)

weekend w/ girls

...my girl friends are here for the weekend to take care of some work stuff and they decided to stay for the weekend...i became the official mall tour guide (did i tell you i can go around Ayala blindfolded? hehehe)





...passed by Lacoste and saw this orange pique polo shirt and fell in love with it (yes, love at first sight is true! hehehe)...can't help but to do a little retail therapy for myself :)



...took them out to have an Aussie dinner at Canvas...had the usual beef rump and some ribs (we're packing on the protein hehehe)



...went to Hola Espana after to have some churros for dessert...i swear, it's the best ever!!! it was better than Auntie Anne's pretzels which i used to super love way back college



...they are all staying in my room by the way, so we're cuddling like packed sardines in my bed heheh...we're off to Imperial Palace after lunch time for some cocktails and early dinner...tiring but at least i get to do something worthwhile for the weekend :)

one more day

...i still got one last shift tonight and i can start my short vacation for the weekend...be heading to my bestfriend's hometown to celebrate the b-day of her baby Simone and i'm super excited to see both of them again :) the theme is going to be Alice in Wonderland and she already hired some people to dress up like the Queen of Hearts and the Mad Hatter - that alone makes me want to start the party right about now hehehe :)

...did a quick retail therapy earlier to get something to wear for the party...good thing i reserved something from Lacoste over the weekend...got it earlier and then i made a quick stop at the salon to get a new hair color (i'm now sporting a dark ash blonde do)



...now all i'm waiting is for my shoes to arrive...i asked a friend to get it for me...fell in love with it the first time i saw it online...if only Zara opens up a flagship store in Cebu i'll be happier :)



...now the only thing i need to make sure is to not forget my b-day gift :) i was amused by the concept of customizing your own stuff toy complete with a birth certificate



...this is the safest i can get for a 1-year old on top of a pair denim jeans and jacket from Levi's Kids...it's going to be a very wonderful weekend :)

on house arrest

Current Facebook Status: on marathon : Flashforward and CSI NY; a bag of leftover Ruffles, 2 packs of YanYan and my Funchum! all i'm missing is a cuddle :)

...i'm nursing a bad case of lower back ache and this will probably keep me in house arrest for the next 2 days...the only thing that i was able to do during my off from work is some retail therapy from Lacoste (the vintage/washed series is back!!!)



..stayed for few minutes at Starbucks (i got lots of free GCs that i can treat you guys coffee for one whole week hehehe)



...if anyone wants some tea latte love then let me know...it's on me :)

spur retail therapy

..i had a very long day earlier that by the time i got home i was totally knocked out...woke up with an aching head and was starving like crazy...now that i'm fed, i can now spill details about it :)

...the original plan was to get a haircut and buy some nose pore strips (i got blackheads and they've been bugging me for the longest time)...since my hair stylist was still not available, i ended having a spur moment of retail therapy...i hate myself...i should be saving for something bigger...oh well

...saw a nice pair of leather shoes in Lacoste, bought it up for dress-up days for work (see i can always justify every purchase) hehehe..too bad the pic didn't do much justice to it...bad camera phone...hate it!



...head to Rustans after and saw that Calvin Klein was on sale...seeing those pro rib trunks half their original price is like lechon on a sunday morning, it is super irrisistable hehe...bought 2 and probably i'd be back for more :)



...had some haircut and bought some nose pore strips (finally!) but before heading home, i came upon a stall that sells knockoff in ear headphones for iPod...Php220 is like your regular order of venti triple shot mocha at Starbucks...so what the hell, i ended buying one..and in fairness to it, it works wonderful, the only questions is for how long? :)



and ow, someone tagged me in Facebook..a lil' something from the bukid :) kilig mode hehehe....love love love!
