of my purchases from the recent Singapore trip are now here. I think, this was one of my most expensive trips! Ok, I made sure to save a lot for this trip and I have alloted a budget for myself!
Let me just itemize the purchases on our 1st and 2nd day…
1. Bvlgari Perfume
2. 2 flat shoes from Charles and Keith
3. Some casual tees from Baleno
4. A nice formal blouse (local brand) from Isetann
On our 3rd day, I was restless already as I haven’t bought any “major” thing yet. I was really hoping to get a sneak peek in Gucci and LV. So when I left Dicky in the hotel, which he agreed and wanted, I went right away in Takashimaya to get a glimpse of my eye candies in LV! I was sad cause of too many people, I cannot concentrate! (parang palengke!). I went out of the store!
I saw Kate Spade and DKNY inside the Takashimaya department store. Wow, sale! I almost bought two items! But, control, control! I bought a kate spade already from ebay so I should just wait for it. I was looking for Long Champ on the second floor. Saw it finally but too bad, they don’t have the colors that I want. The saleslady told me to check in Paragon.
I rushed and immediately crossed the street to get to Paragon. First stop, Gucci. There were some sale items. I checked and checked. I almost bought again! Ok, but still not convinced! I went ahead to look for Long Champ. I saw the store. Perfect! I saw the color and size I wanted. Well, not actually the color cause I want the navy blue but instead got the lighter one cause the darker blue is not available. Here’s what I got:
Happy, happy, happy. I wanted this bag even before for my casual clothings. Perfect shopping bag!
Ok, but I still have the urge to bring home an LV! So I decided to walk back towards our hotel and check DFS Galleria where an LV store is also located. I was hoping that there would be lesser people there so I can really choose what I want. There it goes, I was happy to be able to move around the store and carefully select.
My options:
1. Hampstead PM in Damier
2. Alma in Epi
3. Bellevue Vernis
4. Beauborg in Damier
4. Montorgueil GM
Compute, compute! Still can’t decide. Went ahead to check out wallets this time. Been really meaning to buy one as well. I fell in love with Porte Tresor International. Compute, compute! Lovely, I bought it in a snap!
Then I went to check again the bags. I don’t know what happened to me but parang nahypnotized ako ng Montorgueil GM. It felt right on my shoulder and the size is perfect for me!….(hihihi!)
Yes, I got it as well!
Happy, happy, happy again! Who will not be?
Went out of the store already right after! My card was executed with those two purchases! lol!
Instead of going back to our hotel room, I was left with about 45 minutes still before Dicky and I was scheduled to meet so I decided to head back to Paragon. Hmmm, seems like I’m going to buy a Gucci bag, but no, I didn’t! Instead, I saw Furla at the 3rd floor, i think. I was looking for the red bag that I really want to use as a laptop bag but it was not available. But it was a store-wide sale so my eyes were also wide-open that time!
I checked and checked again! Gosh, the prices are a lot cheaper than getting it here in Manila. Compare, compare! Really cheaper by almost 50% and it was on sale! I have been meaning to really get the classic Furla tote bag for months now everytime I see it in Shangrila Mall so getting it in Singapore was just so perfect. I was deciding to get either the black or the red one. Of course, the black is always been classic and easy to match with clothes but the red one is just so irresistable. The saleslady noticed that I can’t figure out which one to get, so she offered to give an additional 10% from the total! That made me decide to get both! So impulsive of me! Ok, explanation: these Furla bags were almost 65% cheaper than the rates here in Manila when I computed because of the discounts I got plus the GST refund so who can’t resist those? Those were surely good buys! (i know, I am just defending here! lol)
I’m one big shopaholic and an ultimate bag hag! I have to put the LongChamp bag I bought inside the LV Bag so Dicky won’t notice that I actualy bought 4 bags! But he was then suprised to see me carrying 3 paper bags when we met infront of Paragon. I just smiled and walked away. He can’t complain enough.
Sabi ko na lang “pagbigyan mo na ako!” and he answered “ano pa nga ba?”
Gracious! I’m happy with all my loots!

Since I was all affected with rankings and all, I decided to just let go and let loose last weekend. I spent quality time with family, with the kids and Dicky. I had an event last saturday and so Dicky used Amanda to download some mac games from Phelios. He then showed me a great new mac game that he got. So off to my in-laws place yesterday, Dicky and I played this new game the whole afternoon while the kids are asleep. It is one of the newest rpg games available from Phelios, which can give you a step-by-step procedure to download the game and even give a tutorial about the game itself. Now, that is bonding! lol!

Got this tag from Jenny, Aggie and Kelly. I admit that I am more of a bag hag than a shoe-addict. But I still have great fancies with shoes. I particularly like sandals and flats.
{Start Copy}
What’s your shoe size? Are your feet the same size as your mom’s feet? How about your sister’s feet? Can you borrow shoes from each other?
Post a picture of your latest shoe buy. Tag the number of women of your shoe size, i.e. size 5 = tag 5 friends. Don’t forget to drop a line in this blog when you’re done.

My mom’s shoe size – 8
My shoe size – 7

My latest shoe buy from Singapore…(2 flats from Charles and Keith). Great buy! It’s cheaper then than their prices here in Manila.
No, my mom and I doesn’t share shoes. (for obvious reason!) Her feet is bigger than mine.
Now, I’m tagging JoyD, Tet and AA.

We slept late last night. Instead of watching DVDs, Dicky and I tried playing Mac Poker using Amanda. This is actually one of the games he downloaded from the internet. It is sometimes hard to look for a site to play online poker but he found this Pacific Poker online.
He even reviewed the Poker Stars which is laid out better than any other online poker available. This can be accessed just by hovering the mouse over the top of the buttons of the page. Everything is organized and doesn’t hog the memory of any computer. There is even Fulltilt Poker that has tied up with Mac Poker Online to offer readers some bonus code. We are actually getting addicted in playing different games with Amanda especially now that Dicky has some free time. Dicky has been patient to teach me the rules of the game and I must admit, it is a pretty interesting one. Although I still need to get used with the combinations, I need to familiarize myself about it. It’s purely for fun. No intention to do it as gambling though.
