GRUMPY, so shoe me!!!
------

i had guys version of PMS yesterday, i was not necessarily grumpy but medyo wala akong energy to do anything, all i wanted to do was go to carl's jr and grab my onion rings and double cheeseburger OR guacamole filled burger. but then, the carls near my office has closed down na pala, so wala na.

but guess what, at first i had doubts in getting this new baby, it was kinda pricey, i didn't need another pair, i had the color/shade already, and etc. so i was thinking, okay, might as well give it a try, try lang naman eh.

well, to make the long story short i bought it in an impulse. but am not regretting it, i wore it on the way to work today, and it is just perfect. i love it.









love, love, love.. ;)

SOMETHING STUPID
------

i saw carmen on the way to the office two days ago, so we went to the AMOY street market to grab some coffee first. she treated me, and ordered take-away (take-out) coffee which was so rich and good. so today, before coming in to the office, i went there, and here's the conversation:

"uncle, i want the coffee with condensed milk, how do you call that?" - me
"oh, we call it coffee here, aren't you a singaporean?" - uncle (WELL, DUH!!)
"ah, okay, no, i'm from manila.." - me

how stupid can i get during the morning, or hindi ko lang naman alam talaga eh. kasi naman the menu has kopi-o, kopi-c, so malay ko anong kape naman.. hay, buhay!

peste itong isang tao dito, i swear, gaganti ako sa hayup na yan!

stupid techy stuff
------

so you know how stupid i can get in dealing with all techy stuff, including mobile phones (which i only use for calls and sms), the notebook and the internet, online payment, settings of my digicam or any for that matter and all that. i just can't do it. so last week, i asked mom to bring back my ipod home and ask chicho to download songs to it. teka lang ha, its not that i don't know how to do that, but you know how SG is very anti-piracy, that you can't even download songs. i don't want to risk my status here, baka ma-deport ako.

and now, i finally got my ipod with a lot of songs. ang saya. the whole time in the office, i am just listening to my ipod; kahit sa train. i bet cardio would be much more fun with this iTON. hahaha! saya!

so, i messaged chicho using mom's ym.

Anton lim: anyways, dahil super natuwa ako sa ipod ko, may one wish ka from me.
Anton lim: tell mom that she can buy you the shorts sa people are people, then i will pay for it na lang.
Anton lim: the one you like daw.
Bia Lim: no i dont want it na
Anton lim: oh why?
Bia Lim: wala lang
Anton lim: what do you want na?


at naglag-out. i was thinking if wala siyang request, then i'll just go to ZARA and grab a shirt for him, almost always, this works naman.

WOW!!!
------

i haven't been working much since i am waiting for my manager to come back from india. i just read and read and familiarise myself with the whole process which is not easy. i think i need to relax, and step back, and not pressurize myself with so much thoughts and things.

anyway, its friday, and i plan to bury myself under the sheets for the next 2 days. i am "cocooning" in a way, its a cycle that i go into every few months. i need to buy a few magazines and just read throughout the weekend.

i got across these new damier color called damier graphite, and what can i say, it is beautiful. i want, i want! i tried to search it over the net if it is already available and apparently its not. i like the one's below.









i like the 3 bags equally, but if given a choice, i'd like to have the speedy or carryall, i hope some kind soul would bless me with their kindness. hahaha!

agenda one
------

when mom and dad were here last week, we went to louis vuitton in takashimaya to check out different stuff. can i just say ang haba ng pila, and it was on a monday afternoon. some other brands naman has no pila at all but there were people inside like chanel, burberry, loewe, gucci, et al.

and here are photos of some bags that were really outstanding. i found no picture of the damier hamstead PM, which mom really liked, kaya lang out of stock here in singapore.


bellevue PM, this style has 3 colors, deep purple, red and purple (as in picture), we were supposed to get the red one, but it was also out of stock. mom liked the simplicity of the bag, and when she tried it on, she loved it instantly.


this monogram canvass griet bag is way to formal for mom.


oh, we saw this in all the sizes, its really beautiful but so expensive, it costs $3,200 and up.

and of course, i took a look at their sneakers, the collection now is way better than those before, ngayon ir doesnt scream so much na LV monogram or damier or denim.


this is the black version of the impulsion sneaker, the white one below.


this is the one that i really like, intriguant sneaker.


i like this metallic impulsion sneaker (version), its cool, kaya lang too flashy.


this is very simple, and at least naman medyo minimal ang pagkagamit sa term na LOUIS VUITTON.

oh yea, my horoscope asked me to save up daw. thanks ha!

future set-up
------

i do want my own place in the near future, its sheer joy for me to look at furnitures and things i do want in my home. i know that it will take time for me to afford my own place, because the paying part sucks. i looked at quite a few condo's in manila, but its either not that attractive to me, or the place is way above my budget.

check this site, www.potterybarn.com; it has the coolest stuff on earth. of course, ikea would be the cheap alternative, but if i do have the money i'd really go for this.


from the start, i know i want this headboard for my future bed. around $499.99. i like the dark wood accent in my place, it makes me comfortable and at ease. it signifies a wholistic lifestyle for me. ayoko nun minimalist at gamit puro plastic, parang ang stiff kasi.


this would be a good sidetable, where my keys, some books and photographs would be, priced at $299.99


this cabinet screams oriental, the detailing at the bottom is adds a nice touch to the whole cabinet. it's not so boring, $699.99.


this daybed is perfect for the guest room, or it can be used in the living room as well, double purpose, priced at $699.99


visit, www.potterybarn.com for more accessories they offer, vintage and its a perfect accent for any table.

oh, also check their mainsite, www.holdeverything.com, they also have stuff for the kitchen, media storage, closet, kitchen and utility products; and for bed and bath. i haven't checked the entire site, but i will when the weekend comes.

shop crazy
------

mom and dad arrived last feb 5 for the CNY holidays, as they did last year as well. for the past 6 days, all we did were to go around the malls, shop and dine. good thing, we didn't have work from feb 5, until only today. too bad i didn't have the time to workout, aside from the fact that we have been walking, shopping, walking, and shopping. that was basically it.

now, i am back to my diet plan, papaya milk shake for breakfast, or any fruit. and just less intake of everything. i wish something worthwhile happens. sayang ang shirts ko!

--

i will go home at 6pm today becuase i don't have enough sleep, slept at 1.30am since i helped mom and dad fix their luggages, and then woke up at 6am to bring them to the airport, and went straight to office. i can't wait to sink my body in the new quilt with cover we got from ikea.

yon lang, i dont have pictures as of the moment since its in moms camera. next time na lang.
