The bag encounter

Bags, just like my pair of shoes and piles of clothes, tend to fill my closet. I buy bags not just for comfort, but I also make sure that it suits my personality.

I haven't been obsessing about bags for months now,until I saw this Kathy Van Zeeland bag today. I was trying to ignore

it for two reasons: 1. I still have bags that I haven't used and are just sitting quietly inside my closet 2. It is not the normal bag I would buy that would cost me less than a thousand pesos.

I was hesitant to buy it until I saw its uniqueness from the other bags I saw and I felt like the bag was calling me. It was letting me know that I need to get it. I felt like this bag wasn't the common brand I can see in stores that would sell fake stuff. I never knew what a Kathy Van Zeeland brand is in the first place. LOL! I never go for designer bags 'coz I think it's impractical. But this one caught my eye and I never wanted to let go of it.

So, I got it. The price was not as expensive as the first DKNY bag I got, but it was still expensive for my normal way of spending when it comes to bags. I had to check online for the brand after purchasing it (not a very practical way to do though) and thank God the brand has a site and the price was just right. I checked on how to spot if it's a fake and good thing mine is authentic. I had to let go of my cheap purple bag (that I love so much) and use my new printed brown bag with silver buckles and cute rhinestones. After 30 minutes of confusion, I stared at the bag and realized it is actually pretty. What a sigh of relief!

I may not have an LV or a Chanel, but my love for this bag is more than the price one would pay for those very expensive brands.

Simplicity does come with a price!:)

Crafts for less

I don't really know what it is with the holiday season, but my "craftiness" usually kicks in whenever Christmas is fast approaching. It all started about a year ago when I decided to make personalized cards and gifts for my friends, family members, and colleagues. My Mom is really crafty, but I wasn't really interested in making projects when I was a lot younger, 'coz I'm just too lazy to even think about a concept. Our house in the Philippines will always be festive by October 'coz my Mom will decorate the entire place with so much attention to every detail, so that her holiday theme will flow all throughout our house. Meanwhile, I will just sit on the couch and watch TV and lounge like there's no tomorrow. I showed no interest at all, as everything was just too much for my brain cells to handle.

Medical Examination at SLMCEC

November 9-10, 2009 This will be a blow by blow account of my medical exam that took place last week. If you want to be first in line, you can be there as early as 3am, but I went there at 5am because I wanted to make sure that I am safe while taking the exam and I don't want to wait in line for 2-3 hours. It was a good move, since they were already accepting applicants at 5am and I got in around 5:20am and I was the 54th applicant of the day. Make sure to have the following ready: 1. Passport 2. 4 2x2 visa pictures (they will only take 3 though, but I brought 4 since that's their requirement) 3. Original and photocopy of approval letter from the embassy 4. Print out of your interview schedule 5. Black ballpoint pen 6. Payment (213.35 - exchange rate is at 48) Flow chart: 1. At 5:30 I already got in and filled out the Patient Data Sheet form. Memorize your fiance's address and phone number or at least have a copy of it. 2. The guard called us up for the digital picture taki...

Happy thanksgiving!

This is my first thanksgiving in the US and I really insisted that we have a thanksgiving dinner with the traditional turkey. My husband was kind enough to give in to my demand and helped me get all the stuff we need for dinner. We invited 3 of his friends over, since both of us don't have families here (I have relatives in Clermont, but they had plans for thanksgiving too). We had this huge turkey, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, apple-cranberry cobbler, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie (the last 3 sides were still in the oven, that's why I wasn't able to include it in this photo). We just watched football after dinner and I'm glad that my husband's friends were happy about their meal. They all said I did a good job in preparing it and hearing that made me very happy because that means I am successful on my first ever hosting experience. Yeah, this was also my first time to host a dinner gathering without my mom around to tell me what to do. Today, I am...
