to get or not to get

1:54 PM

i'm lusting after these











and i've sort of found them here (save for the heel which is a little different).so, do i get them or forget about them? do i really need another pair of shoes? will i really get to use them? and are they a sound investment at 1600 PHP a pop? i need to justify this purchase!! i want them soo badly that my heart hurt a little as i walked away from them (sob)

stuck in a rut

1:25 PM

what is it with me, that every so often i find myself stuck in a rut? i feel lethargic, bored with what i currently have and yet too lazy to muster up the strength to move. i've even stopped work for a bit, not even bothering to put up new pictures of dressies.i haven't been updating this blog as much too. these days i'm happiest being at home, lounging around, watching old movies,downloading new series, rereading my sister's old gossip girl books (yes, I confess. I LOVE THEM!), and of course perusing the internet.ahhh..the internet, what's a girl to do without it? my days while away switching between all the gossip sites to all sorts of blogs (my friends (please update for my sake:p), fashion blogs and even design ones). I am constantly on the lookout for new ones to stalk and dissect. The times not devoted to these are dedicated to good old ebay,where anything and everything can be found-and this ultimately leads to my growing list of "must-haves" and "needs"- as my boyfriend says "we all have needs, and shopping is mine!":p

and so without further ado, here are my latest "needs":

1. a lomo camera preferably a holga. (don't you just adore lomo photography? i am especially loco over the fish eye effect and the four lenses. there's something about the organic way the pictures come out that's so moving, unpredictable and just plain creative)
2.either a chanel bag and/or a goyard (aaahhhh..will this love/hate relationship between bags ang girls ever end? this one particularly takes me on an emotional rollercoaster (happy on the low starting bids, sad when it eventually gets higher and higher and i lose it to some unknown lucky bastard (hmmmm..anger issues surfacing:P))
3. lace underwear and lingerie. i'm channeling dita in my head when i imagine these pieces and i am, for the moment, ready to kill for a set by either agent provocateur, la perla or those lacy ones from good old reliable victoria's secret.
4.gray slouchy flat boots (again, another never ending obsession of mine). i honestly don't know where i'll be wearing them know, because the last time i checked, the philippines doesn't have fall/winter season just yet.
5. this is just in: coconut shampoo (preferably kiehl's). i was reading GG and it mentioned Kiehl's coconut shampoo and it just sounded sooo appealing and sexy. (i hope i can find this at the local grocery though)
6.Chocolate shampoo- the idea of chocolate without the calories is verrrryy inviting to this bored girl, and besides the search for coconut shampoo introduced me to this yummy alternative.
7.more gossip girl books- i've read all of the ones in the house and i am still hungry for more, so sue me!

for the love of God, i hope that I get out of this rut soon. This "stuck in a rut" state is depleting my (not to mention my boyfriend's) wallet. aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh...



p.s donations in cash or kind are highly welcome :p

the bigger person...and shopper :)

7:20 PM

last night jason said, "someone has to be the bigger person". i fell asleep thinking about those words and woke up today thinking "yeah. i can do that.be the bigger person" so i did. well i hope what i did was bigger-personish. i wrote * a letter of sorts, sort of explaining my sudden disappearance from the universe. i was upfront, honest, direct, sincere and hopefully very bigger-personish. it felt good.no, it felt really really really good (insert huge smile here). i felt like a really good pedicurist cut away that annoying ingrown nail that just sits there, slightly annoying the hell out of me. i don't know what will happen next but i am content with what action i took. content and happy. again words of wisdom from my baby- "that's the reaction you need to get after writing an honest letter." so smart this baby, isn't this bigger person so lucky?! :p

after that, i went to sm with my sisters and dropped by sepa. i'd been itching to go for about a week now. we found some gorgeous vintage inspried necklaces. and that was when it happened. the bigger person morphed into the bigger shopper..and bought herself a fab necklace. (maybe as a self pat on the back for being the bigger person hehe :p)

and so after that, the self proclaimed bigger person went home, very happy and very content, albeit with a much much smaller wallet.
