Dreamin' Of A Longchamp Pliage

I'm not a fan of super expensive or designer bags...for a number of practical reasons. Number 1, they are waaaay out of my budget range. Number 2, I'd be too afraid to use them because I know I'll ruin them sooner or later. Close friends of mine will attest to me being one of the clumsiest people on earth. Number 3, they are waaay out of my budget range. Haha. So for now, the few expensive purses I have are care of my generous aunts. 


But lately, the Longchamp bag has been catching my attention. Its simplicity in design won my heart, and its durability won my wallet's heart. (It's supposed to be made out of this super strong nylon which makes the bag last.) My previous boss Tere--AKA the designer bag expert--shared to me that her Longchamp has been with her since she was 18 years old. (She's now in her early 30's.) Amazing eh? 


Since my next project is a durable bag for everyday office use, I'm thinking of getting myself a Longchamp pliage tote in black. Tere said its cheapest version costs around $90 (or PhP 5,000) or so.

This one...

...or this one? Hmmm...

I want! I want! I want!

Take your pick! Hihi.

Cute design!

Gotta have 'em all.

 Fashionistas with their Longchamps!

Le sigh. I hope this project pushes through. *Ehem generous aunts!*

Hello!

What's keeping me busy?

Nothing really. I've just been spending a lot of time with my family, friends and of course the boyfriend. :) At home, I just play with my dogs Popo and Izume, spend most of the day online playing Guess The Sketch or updating this blog. I'm still on Day 15 of the 30 Day blog project so stay tuned. Sometimes I play pool on Wii or watch How I Met Your Mother on DVD. (I'm now on Season 3) 

Last night, me and the boyfriend went to the mall and made a mental list of things we want to get for ourselves on Christmas. The ber months are now here!!!

For him:

Sony PlayStation 3: Boys and video games: it's love at first win.

For me:

Sony Cybershot TX5: It's underwater. Plus lots of other lovely features. For future beach trips.

Although there are a lot of reasons to be happy, I am dealing with a few family matters that make me sad. My dad is undergoing several observations for a lump found in his tummy. We have yet to find out what it is but I pray it's nothing serious. Another thing is, just after a month of going home to recover, my grandfather is back in the ICU as advised by his doctor during his last check up. I hope he gets better again soon. I can't bear the thought of anything bad happening to any of my family. Le sigh.

Oh well, I'm praying for the best! I'm heading for a job offer tomorrow. I hope it goes well. :)

Toodles! :-*

Dreams Are The Touchstones Of Our Character

By Henry David Thoreau

Lust list! (I'm still into lusting over things as I don't have moolah yet!)

1. Zebra curtains.
-I bought leopard sheets the other day. Die. These curtains are next on my to-get-for-my-room list. Photo from here.


2. Bangles.
-I have been wanting a gold stack for some time now. I went to Eastwood earlier tonight and saw a nice set of antique-ish gold bangles. Sadly, I have already spent my money on clothes. Photo credit here.


3. Plain shirts.
-Preferably with a slouchy V neck and slightly loose. I already have a growing collection. I bought a violet one earlier this week--for PhP 50.00! Now I'm wondering why I didn't buy more. Stoo-pid. Photo source here.


4. Desk lamp.
-Because it's not fun reading in the dark. Harhar. Got photo from here.


5. Matching dog tags with the boyfriend.
-It was his idea because he's cheesy like that. (**,) Photo from here.


Hay! I can't wait to get started on ANY of my wish list. Hehe.

I Like Dreams Of The Future Better Than The History Of The Past

(Spoken by Thomas Jefferson)

Here I go with my weekly lustlist:

1. Leopard-printed umbrella.
-Because it's the rainy season and my plaid number is giving me eyesore.
The boyfriend surprised me with one! Aww what would I do without him? Heh. :)


2. Boyfriend blazer.
-I want the over-sized kind. 
Note: I was able to score a gray one yesterday, August 25. It was on sale for only PhP 250.00!!!  


3. Siomai.
-I'm PMS-ing. I've been craving it like crazy all week.
Note: I've had enough of this goodness, thanks very much. 


4. Olympus Pen digital point and shoot camera.
-I "discovered" this through Living La Vida Rita. It takes awesome, vintage-y and SLR-esque photos!


5. The Last Song in DVD.
-Ah yes, I haven't seen this tearjerker yet.
Note: My friend Albert bought me a copy when he was out buying DVDs for himself. I cried a bit when the dad died. :(


Toodles!!! :)

Dream As If You'll Live Forever. Live As If You'll Die Today.

Hooray James Dean quote! I'm making a weekly list of things I'm lusting over. (I have a lot.) To begin...

1. The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger.
-I've recently watched the movie and thought it was brilliant. However, I need to read the book to get a full grasp of the story. (I'm making excuses. I'm a bookworm. Born one and will die one. Period.)


2. High-waisted shorts.
-I know. The trend's been around for a while but it's only recently that I've made peace with my body. Haha. Now I want one. Bad.
Note: I bought a striped pair from People Are People. Let's see how it goes from there.


3. A new MP3 player.
-Preferably an iPod Touch of its latest generation. Now, I love my 5th gen iPod video but unfortunately, I don't update it anymore. I lost my extensive iTunes music library when my laptop died. Sob.


4. Maltesers.
-Favorite. Chocolate. In. The. World.
Note: It still is my favorite chocolate in the world. It's just that the boyfriend bought me a large bag of the stuff to satisfy my craving. Yum yum yum! 


5. Gossip Girl Season 3 in DVD.
-A pirated one will do. Hehe.


Hay. My bread's down to the crumbs as I am still unemployed so...help? Anyone? :)
