23 August

Another trip!

I will be going to HongKong this October 14-17.  Yes, you read it right, just me and not going to be with Dicky and the kids.  After a lot of pulling and pushing, the husband doesn’t want to go.  He didn’t allow me to even bring just Margaux.  I will be going to HK with my cousins to actually check out a business matter.  One of them asked me to accompany her since she hasn’t been there.  Can you imagine?  She’s been to different countries but not HK.  So she seeked out my help, since she knows that I have been to HK a couple of times already.  

Of course, this will be coupled with pleasure and a lot of shopping I bet.  And with Dicky not around, I might end up buying another LV bag!  Yay!  

Hmmm…

Mall Hit Today-August 20

Shangrila Mall

Saw some items in GAP on sale. 

Bought these for the two girls…

For Bianca…

For Margaux…

The shorts are both on sale at Php 371 each. If you buy 2, they would still deduct 20% more from the total, making it like less than Php300 only.  The tops are sold at Php595. I think the Gap store here is cheaper. Saw the same top in Singapore last month and it was at S$25 each.

I have reason to party!

Last night, amidst the traffic, I braved myself to drive to Mall of Asia to attend a special launch of Haagen Dazs new catering packages. I have to be honest that I was so damn lazy to go. In fact, I called up my coordinator friends asking if they were also going because I don’t have plans to. But I got guilty because I already confirmed with my friend, JP, who is the organizer of the event.  I arrived an hour late since i came from a meeting in Makati that ended up at 6pm.

Good thing I really went because the food was so good, actually all the desserts! yum, yum yum. Can’t get enought of the new creations they have. I think I bloated with calories because I tasted all the offerings.  Well, I have always love Haagen Dazs and it has been my ultimate fave ice cream, (never mind the price!).

They had an ice cream bar, cocktails and smoothies and my ultimate favorite strawberry ice cream cake! Oh, too bad, I didn’t bring a camera cause it won’t fit in my chic yellow bag that I was carrying.

But guess what’s the best and greatest thing about last night? I won the grand prize through a raffle!

Ah, I’m still ecstatic!

I won a special cocktail party good for 50 pax hosted for FREE by Haagen Dazs!!!!! They would serve everything that was in the party last night! I just need to tell them when I plan to have it!

Yahoo! Yahoo!  Yahoo!

Happy! Happy! Happy!

I have ultimate reason to party!!!!

Mall Hit Today – August 6

Greenbelt 5

Went out late afternoon to look for a dress to wear for an upcoming wedding.  Bought 2 dresses from Randy Ortiz in Myth!  Didn’t intend to wear the other one but it’s just too pretty to resist and with 40% off the rack, it’s a great steal.  

I love the pretty simple dress I got in pale green with airbrush detail of big roses.  Will post the pics once I’m wearing it already.  

Myth is still on sale

Banana Republic is on sale

I also went to Adora. With all the B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L dresses and blouses I have seen from Tyler, I felt bad that they don’t have my size on most of the ones I like!  It only means one thing, desperately need to trim down!  Despite it, I love the pampering you get from the staff of Adora.  It’s like fitting in fabulous stores in NY!  They bring everything to you down to accessories and shoes.  I felt like I’m Carrie Bradshaw!  (hihihi)  But I’m so bad, I didn’t buy a thing!  (hahaha)

I also love Religioso clothes line, I’ll go back next week for the blouse which I asked them to alter according to my size!

Ah, this is what you call therapy!

NAIA Terminal 3 Now Open!

Pathetic as it may seem, I want to book now a domestic Cebu Pacific flight in order to see and use this airport which has been idle for almost 6 years!

As per the news today, Cebu Pacific improved the service already, no more chaos and delays!

Where to go? Where to go? Where to go?
