Life’s Lessons

It’s already daybreak and I haven’t slept yet. Thanks to an online buddy who kept me company until this hour. We just talked about anything and of course her for sale loots! Oh my, I am tempted again. Not this time because I will save for a small business and I am excited for it. I hope it will really push through. So now I’ve got to work harder and save some for my capital.

Now I am already sleepy. But before I go to bed and get some snooze, I’d better unload my bladder. Though I don’t need incontinence products this time (and I hope I will never be unless I would be too old), I have to unload so I could sleep straight. Hafta go and get some snooze before the sun rises.

Update on my Satchy? Wait, lemme check this basement dehumidifier first before I go into details about my fashion walk. This is helpful for those who have basements in their homes.

Okay. So as what I told few of my friends, I will go on “fashion walk” (our term when we go to the mall to sport something) once my bag arrives. Since it arrived on a Friday, I was too excited for Saturday to come so I could use it in going to the mall. I thought it wouldn’t make any difference wearing my Coach from my Sylvia Santos (that was given by my colleague during our meeting in Cebu) but I was totally wrong! It was my first time to be looked at from head to foot and people are taking a second look at me and my bag. Am I just paranoid? If I see people wearing nice and authentic bags, I don’t even look at them from head to foot nor will I take a second look at the bag.

I went to the mall’s comfort room and the ladies in line are staring at my bag. One lady wears a Gucci. By the looks of the material, I know it’s an imitation and she was staring at me and my bag until I went out of the comfort room. This is crazy!

Added to that, I have a husband in tow who is so OC. He kept on reminding me not to bump my bag into anything for it might be scratched. Gosh! The choleric doesn’t care about that but the melancholic does so I need to transfer my bag from the right hand to the left when needed.

When we got tired of our fashion walk, we went to Pizza Hut for our dinner. On the way, we passed by a foreigner whom Ace noticed followed us with her stare. Then there’s two ladies walking ahead us wearing an LV (my first dream bag). Judging from the materials of the bag, it might be bought from the boutiques that sells imitation bags. When they look behind, I got another stare at my bag.

I am ashamed to have my picture taken wearing my bag so Ace took a photo of me and my Satchy at Pizza Hut.

The next day we went to the mall again. We went around to look for Ace’ polo for the wedding. Then I decided to roam around the stalls that sells imported clothes from Bangkok and Ace overheard the sales ladies talking about my bag “lahi lage na design iya bag” (Tagalog: “ibang design yung bag nya”, English: “her bag has different design”) Yes, it is definitely different because you can’t see that in stores that sells imitations of signature bags. Just by looking at the material and the style, you would know that it’s authentic.

I will never forget my first fashion walk experience with my very first signature bag. The stare, the head-to-foot look is flattering (though annoying at times). But that won’t stop me from desiring for another one (next year?) because it’s all worth every penny. I just love it!

Yesterday morning I got a word from Faye that the box she shipped has arrived and her friend already sent my bag to Davao! I was beyond thrilled that I can’t wait to receive my bag! I was itching to call LBC to check if I have a package so I could pick it up from their office since I am going out to meet a friend at noon. Too bad, LBC Bajada’s number is always busy everytime I dial the phone. So I thought maybe the bag will be delivered next week.

I went out and met a friend for around an hour and when I came back, our neighbor’s nanny greeted me with a news that I have a package from LBC. Yay! She told me they were ringing the doorbell and knocking the door but nobody’s answering so the LBC man let our neighbor’s wife receive the package.

She handed me the box…I was shocked! I wasn’t expecting it will arrive here bare…I mean in original coach box. So Hydee (our neighbor’s wife must have known what’s inside the box).

Ohhh…I’ve been silent here for days.*pout*. It’s not that I have nothing to share but work just kept me busy and made me crazy! Anyway, before another busy week at work starts, I think I SHOULD update this blog.

Last week was pretty fine. Ace started going to the office with his second wife. Oh, I haven’t blogged about it here. If you’re curious, just check out my other blog. He hasn’t driven for years and the first time I rode in a road bike with him was in Dumaguete City. It was unforgettable because we were almost hit by a car. With that experience, my impression that Ace will have a tendency to be an offensive driver lingered for years. So when I first rode with him, I kept on reminding him not to overspeed. My eyes were stuck in the speedometer and when it reaches 40, I prod him to slow down.LOL. I am just so paranoid of motorcycle accidents. So every time he leaves for work, I remind him to drive SLOWLY.

On Friday night, we (together with Donald, Carol and the kids) visited DadMa (Ace’ parents) in their apartment. It’s almost a 30-minute ride from here and the first time that Ace drove to that route. So far, so good. Again, my eyes are stuck in the speedometer and reading it aloud!LOL. I bet Ace won’t let me ride with him next time.hahaha.

On Saturday, it’s payout. The biggest payout so far so I was able to pay my balance for my Coach Heritage Satchel bag. I just can’t wait to receive the parcel and use the bag! Thanks Faye! You’re one great seller. My other loots are yet to come. I and Ace went to SM for grocery shopping. I planned to buy something for the kitchen but ended buying 3 12×18 photo frames for the prints that I ordered from Artscow. So our bare wall turned to a beauty. Ace was amazed how those prints (the photos that I took more than a year ago) look so gorgeous on those frames. He said he didn’t appreciate those prints until he saw it on frames. I still need another 3 frames and I hope to get those on payday. Ace is now encouraging me to order more prints and turn our walls to a photo gallery.LOL.

Yesterday, I woke up late. We’re supposed to attend worship service but I slept almost 4AM (that I kept tossing in bed) so I woke up late. Thanks, anyway that I was able to have a straight 6 hours of sleep. Breakfast is already prepared when I get out of bed. Isn’t that the sweetest? Yay! (Life’s Lesson: serve your husband and he’ll be willing to serve you without you asking for it). Gets? After that late breakfast I am planning to rearrange the living and dining area but I first organized the kitchen stuffs in the divider and cupboard (and I am not yet done!). I’ll find time to finish it soon. While I was rearranging things, Ace is also busy giving his second wife a shower using his new garden hose complete with nozzle and all that we bought last Saturday. Talk about buying stuffs for his new love!LOL. Carol, Donald and the kids went down to have dinner with us and Ace bought a Red Ribbon Smores cake for our dessert. It was actually late dinner. He texted DadMa hoping they’re still in VP but they’ve gone home. We’ll better plan early next time.

We turned in early (at past 11PM) and it took me a while to finally doze off. But after barely two hours of sleep, I am awake*sigh* and couldn’t go back to sleep so I turned the laptop on and update my blogs. Now it’s half past 4AM and I am not yet sleepy. My bad! I have a long day ahead and yet I am still awake and never had enough rest. Good luck to me!

Who agrees that I am FAT? That I need one of the best fat burners in the market? I am not actually that big but I am too concerned about gaining weight because my clothes won’t fit. However, hearing people’s comment that I gained weight is a “music” to my ears because it is what I wanted for years. I’ve been trying to gain weight but it seems hard for my body to gain that extra pounds that I want.

Look at the photos…these were taken last August. Obviously, I gained weight but I love the blouse I am wearing because it hides my belly bulges. It is actually one of my fave but I can’t wear it with denim jeans. Now I am in search for that kind of cut (but with different cloth) because my tops are all tight on me. Hence, there’s a need to shop for new set of tops.

Anyway, we’re now heading to the mall for window shopping. I hope to find tops that I have always wanted so I know where to go come payday.

My eyeglasses’ frame is black. I chose it because it can match to any outfit. However, now I find black boring which I don’t realize before that’s why most of my bags, shoes and slacks are black. I am slowly changing my taste in fashion to make life not so dull and I was thinking if I could also wear my favorite high fashion eyeglasses from Zenni Optical’s wide choices of $ 8 Rx eyeglasses. Wooot! Nifty nifty fashionable eyeglasses. With Zenni, you will learn How You Can Start Spending Smart with that beautiful fashionable eyeglasses that’s a way cheaper than the others.

Aren’t these eyeglasses so beautiful?

Oh my, I was just checking my friend’s online store in multiply earlier then later on I found myself browsing at Coach site! I was hooked. Just like any other woman who is addicted to bags, I also dream to have one of those signature bags and I’ve got a crush on these two bags! I want large bags (because I bring so many things) so these two are appropriate for me. Our DSLR could also fit into the bag so I won’t be bringing our Tamrac camera bag when I find it inappropriate to be bringing along a bulky camera bag. We don’t believe in Santa so I won’t be asking Santa to give this to me. Instead, I am asking HIM to send me signs that one of these bags is really for me and provide me additional means to get this dream bag.

If it isn’t too much to ask, please make this dream come true. Thanks Bro!

It’s a great week because I’ve been one HAPPY shopper! It’s not a spur of the moment purchases actually because it’s been planned long before to buy those things. Only, we go home empty handed everytime we go out looking for something. After working hard (with all those sleepless nights and cramming days), I’ve got to reward myself of the things that I need. Yes, it’s all I need because I can’t afford to splurge on my wants this time. Got photos of our loots but it’s not yet uploaded to flickr. Will post the photos of my loots next time. Have to go and take a rest so I’ll have the energy to get up early for our planned jogging at People’s Park.

When we bought my mid-back executive office chair the other month, Ace said I also need to buy either a computer or office table to matches my chair, and my working space to look better…conducive for working.hehehe. I prefer the latter because I need the table’s drawers to keep my files and some important documents. Also, I need a writing space that I can’t have with the computer table. Hence I was actually eyeing an office table at one of the malls. I am planning to get it last month but funds were diverted to other things so I would be waiting till next payday or if I could have extra from my blogging earnings. . It isn’t that costly actually but we have more important things to prioritize so my office table has taken the backseat for months. Now let’s see if I could be able to buy that office table from my blogging earnings next week. I do hope there’s still available stocks of that table that looks like a classroom furniture or a teachers desk (for that matter). I saw this desk online at hertzfurniture[dot]com and it looks almost the same as the table I am eyeing for.

Isn’t it one nice thing for a home work station?
