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.

The day I decided to earn money the easy way

Relocating to another country has its pros and cons and lately I have been dealing with the cons - waiting for the chance to land a regular day job. With fast Internet connection and a lot of time in my hands, I figured I should do something to earn money. With the help of my friends, I was able to use my extra time to earn money by rating articles and answering surveys. I just started yesterday and I already earned $10. Rating articles is the easiest 'coz all you have to do is read articles and click on how many stars you think the article is worth. The cost of each article would depend on how much time you would spend when reading the article. You will earn from a cent to 20 cents just by rating an article! You can also earn $5 by telling a friend about the site and giving them the chance to earn money on their own too. If you want to earn money rating articles, just visit this site http://www.readbud.com/?ref=4439896 . Read on! :) Aside from rating articles, a friend of mine als...

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...
