my first but definitely not my last….

Read the story here.

More Wordless Wednesday entries here.

I admit, I am a religious lurker in Faye’s flickr©. Everytime I open my flickr, I can’t help but go to her photostream and check what’s new. She’s posting her kalakals (items for sale) in her stream and that explains why I am there E-V-E-R-Y-D-A-Y. Anyway, I’ve posted about the apple of my eyes last month but was so discreet in saying that I bought it. Now that it’s on the way to the country, maybe it’s the right time to say I can already smell the apple of my eyes! Thanks to Sheriff for making this dream come true.

Anyway, I’ve been wanting to get a bag when I first saw Faye’s items but didn’t have the courage to ask for the price because I know it is pricey and I am still thinking if it’s worth every penny or not. I opened this up to Ace and he was so kind to say I can get whatever I want (for the record, I don’t need to beg to get Ace’ approval be it with small or big things) so there I go, viewing the items numerous times before I made a decision. The choleric in me is saying I need one that is functional – which means I can put the DSLR, and other personal loots in there. If you personally know me, you would know that I cannot live with a small bag, much more without a bag so my first choices were the totes. My friends are even saying I am carrying my house in my bag!LOL

I like this lunch tote a lot but my color choice isn’t available. I want the brown one.

so here comes this Coach Heritage Tote, I know that it’s what I wanted. I am almost settled with this one. But, I have to consider the camera. Then I need something that I can use not just for malling and other informal events but also in formal events (as if I am attending such!LOL).

After a lot of thinking and with Faye’s convincing power, I was settled to get this Coach Heritage Satchel because it serves my purpose of getting a bag – for the camera, for malling, can be Sunday’s bag, can be used in a party or even wedding, nice for travelling too. Oh well, the totes are my first love but just for this time, I need multi-purpose, multi-function bag because I don’t know if I can afford another COACH bag after this.

So now it’s official. I bought that satchel the day I posted it here last month and maybe in a week or two, I can finally lay down my hands on that precious bag!LOL. I even told a friend “irampa ko parati sa mall ang bag ko”. Though it’s still not with me, two friends – Paula and Ate Eunice are already in line to “borrow” it.LOL. Wanna be next in line?LOL

Anyway, enough about my bag. Let’s get back to work and continue reading about Mesothelioma cancer. All I know is the cause so might as well read further to be aware of such kind of cancer. It’s always good to know something (aside from shopping!LOL) so we can share some inputs in case conversation about it arise.

I forgot to post this after I took a photo of these loots from Pinky, my HS classmate based in Canada who went home for the first time after 12 years. Those were her “pasalubong” to me! Thank you so much Pinks! So I won’t be buying lotion for around two years?

Yay! One of the things I am excited about 2010 is using my Belle de Jour power planner. I ordered it online and since I placed my order before Nov. 15, I got a 5% discount. Then I joined the BDJ circle that entitled me for another 5% discount. All in all, I paid PhP538 for the really nice planner! It arrived a day before we flew to Manila so I wasn’t able to brag about it immediately. When Ace saw it, he was amazed and dropping me a hint that he wanted something similar to my planner so I offered to order one for him but he sternly said NO.hahaha. Maybe I could get one for him at the bookstore next time.

I do hope I could maximize the use of my Belle de Jour power planner and really manage my time wisely. Let’s see what it could do with my time management skills (if we call that skill).

Yeba! I already placed my order of the 2010 Belle de Jour Power Planner. We’ve been to National Bookstore in Gaisano Mall earlier this evening but the sales people there aren’t aware of that Belle de Jour Power Planner. It seems like, they never heard about it. Then we went up to Watson’s and I got the same reply. Huh? How come? I’ve read somewhere that Belle de Jour 2010 Power Planner will also be available in those stores. Oh well, I might have read it wrong. I placed my order online anyway so I am only waiting for the confirmation of my order with the bank details where to deposit my payment. Hope I could avail of that 5% discount for joining the BDJ Circle.

I’m so excited to get my hands on that planner! Let us see if something will really change in my time management skills using that planner.haha!
