Powerplant Mall 

Most of the stores are still on sale.  

Kate Spade - 25% off their spring collections.  (oops, I didn’t buy cause I’m waiting for the ones I got from ebay!, can’t wait, can’t wait!)

Anne Klein - beautiful black dresses at 45%  (could be perfect for evening cocktails event)

Kenneth Cole - 25% on shoes and bags.  I saw a nice black hobo bag with silver hangtag at Php 9K+

Bass - 45% off (I was eyeing on black flats and then I asked for my size.  I was so grateful, they don’t have it anymore!  Bwahaha)

Ninewest - 25-45% off on bags and shoes

Naturalizer - 30-50% on shoes  

Florsheim - men’s shoes from Php 1,990 to 2,990 only!  (great for gifts for hubbies)

Michael Kors - 25%-40% off on some selections.  I fell in love with a black medium wristlet at Php 4K+ (but no, I didn’t buy it! Clap, clap, clap for me!)

So you see, I only did some window-shopping.  I was just here for a meeting and so I took time to move around the ground floor.  It took away from tiredness!  lol!

I said to myself that I am not buying anything for myself till monday next week.  (well, I’m pretty succesful since last week)

Because I’m going to get even for the trip to Singapore next week…(smiling from ear to ear!  Bwahaha)

Something inevitable?

Are you in anyway familiar with probate planning information? Dicky and I discussed early this week that we wanted to increase our insurance policies. With all these rumors, emails, pedictions about an earthquake that would hit the country by July 18, 2008, makes my heart pound. But crap, I don’t believe on that. I have full faith to Him. I’ll just continue to pray that it won’t happen.  Nevertheless, I think we should prepare to something inevitable. We don’t want our kids to be left behind without anything. I heard that you can get qualified probate professionals who can help you in this kind of situation. There is a free resource like USA-Probate.com that has information on attorney listings of qualified lawyers handling administrative side of probate or those that can even help you in litigation. I guess in this kind of situation, everyone should be prepared. Its a matter of learning the proper information needed when faced with it and being able to provide the necessary documens. I know tedious it could be for the family most of the time so I think getting the right person to help you should be the key.  And there is entirely nothing wrong in being prepared for something everyone of us will face.

Essentials of a bag hag

If you are a bag hag like me, you should have these few essentials:

1.  Dust Bags to neatly keep you precious bags in the cabinet.  Others do come in hard-boxes so it also necessary to keep them so the bags won’t develop any molds.  Store your bags in a cool, dry place. 

2. Bag Organizers for easy access of all your stuff inside the bag. It’s also heaven-sent not to forget anything whenever changing bags. I got mine from Rustan’s. Exactly like this but in black. There are a number of sellers also in multiply.

3. Bag Hangers to easily hang your precious bag whenever dining out or in any table you need to. It’s a big no-no to put your bag on the floor! Got mine from Rustan’s again,  which I really like because the hanger itself is thicker. But I know CMG is also selling and some other sites in multiply.

4. Bag Holders which you can easily hang at the back of your cabinet, or your room door for the scheduled bags you are going to use for the week.

You can buy from By Pockets .

5. Raincoat for your precious bags, especially designers one. I am not buying this yet but saw this from MM. Could it be pathetic to get one? lol! Hmm, but I’m considering it.

You can buy this first and only raincoat from Sac Accessories.

6.  And I’m still looking for that supplier of a “pad” to put at the bottom of my LV damier speedy and Gucci Joy Boston so it won’t sag.  Currently using a cardboard! Hehehe.   Anyone knows where I can get it?

As our bags are so precious, we should also take necessary measures to really take care of our “babies!”
