Free!

Last week, my funds finally permitted me to buy a Canon G10 (yay!). You can imagine I was already elated as it is. Imagine my delight when the store told me that the purchase came with a coupon for free designer eye wear! The selections were Gucci, Armani, YSL, and Stella McCartney. I chose Stella. Thank you Canon!

I want a t-shirt with this print! If you're a Twilight fan, you can relate. It doesn't help the fact that my son's name is Jacob!

Longchamp

So, my Mom went to Cebu as a gift to herself for her birthday, but I felt like it was my bday whe she came back home.
She bought me all kinds of goodies; a shoe rack, glass box for cotton pads, cake from Leona's, chocolates from Marks & Spencer, and a fisherman's hat for Jacob. Last but not least, she bought me this...

Gorgeous, yes? I love Longchamp! My fascination with the brand began when my mom scored an original at a tiangge, and let's just say they didn't know how much an original is worth. hehe. Few people carry them here in Davao too. All those fake LV's are such eyesores.

Thank you Ma! Now I can't make taray and I have to do everything you say. Ngeks.

Green-Minded

Of course I'm not talking about that kind of "green".

Taking the first step towards going green and caring for the environment are retail stores Ensembles, Freeway, Solo, and 22BC, who have decided to use Oxy-biodegradable plastic bags.

These bags are a different kind of plastic bag. Thay have a much faster decay rate, taking only a few months, unlike ordinary plastic bags that take a hundred years to decay, if not take forever.

The catch though (there always is one, isn't there?) is that the material needs to be exposed to high temperatures and oxygen to fully disintegrate.

At least they're starting to build awareness and not continue to be apathetic to the environment's demise.

Nikon User

My cousin Astrid was in Davao this morning. She wanted me to accompany her at Focus Lab for her lens shopping, she's buying a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8. And she came prepared, bringing something to test the lens' focus. I miss my photography days, however short they may have been. She's encouraging me to go back. I'm still crossing my fingers for the Canon g10 though.

Meanwhile here's what Astrid wore today. Cute, yes?

On Astrid: Mango blouse, Kenneth Cole bag, Zara Sandals, Shorts from greenhills

Hermione Granger isdatchu!??

Emma Watson has grown up before our eyes. From that frizzy haired little girl in Harry Potter, to the elegant and beautiful London ingenue that she is today. I have yet to see the new Harry Potter movie, but I'm guessing she did a lot of growing up. Here are some photos from the Burberry AW 2009 Campaign and you'll see what I mean.

The Wedding

I was just a guest, thank God! I can't stand the drama of being involved in the preparations. Anyways...

As I mentioned in my previous post, here is the dress that I wore. I had it tailor-made since it's quite difficult for me to find a dress for my size (being in a country that caters to smaller-sized people). I loved the fit of the dress. But the shoes spoiled the night for me. Maybe because I haven't worn heels for the longest time. Or maybe because I've gained so much weight since I had Jacob. Whatevs. I went home earlier than my parents (who were still dancing, btw.) because I missed Jacob. Who's getting old? Hmp!

(Dress: The LTD., Shoes: M.Nicole by Figlia, Bag: ebay, Earrings: from Mom, Baby: Jacob by Me)

1. I learned to swim at 26. I'm 28 now.
2. I love the smell of Betadine and freshly baked bread. Not together though. ^_^

5. Ever since I had my son, Jacob, I have become so weepy.
6. I don't like being around negative people, and people who dwell on the past.

8. Jacob is the love of my life now. All else can disappear.
9. I only have a few good friends.
10. I stock up on books but never get to read them.
