Convenience Store

Wouldn't be called a convenience store for nothing! It's like my SM for all things fun and cheap (boohoo, ya cheapskate am I)! I remember as a kid, my dad would bring us cookies, gum, candies & chocolates every night from 711 since this is the only store open by the time he comes home from work. Imagine I would chew on my favorite Bubbly Yum, (watermelon flavor, hehe) in the middle of the night and end up with gum all over my hair when I wake up!

This store is also our refuge whenever we travel abroad. I remember spending New Year's somewhere and guess what's for New Year's Eve dinner, 711 microwavables (ooh the yang chow rice is tdf) since we didn't want to go out, scared that we might be caught up dead in fireworks. And recently, P and I hoarded their bottled drinks (cute small Pepsi and Mirinda bottles) and the free mineral water that goes with every boxed meal!

Everyday at work as soon as I've settled in, right after checking my email, I instantly hit the store for my breakfast (yes i know not a healthy choice) and of course for my daily dose of treasure hunting. Going to 711 is like going over a store full of discoveries. Supermarkets are nothing, compared to this! Some items that I recently got are not even carried by big supermarkets!

That's why I decided to come up with a post on my "discoveries" in this treasure trove called 711!

P.S I am in no way connected with 711, haha!

What we wore?

Last Sunday I attended an officemate's wedding. Since we were already coming in late from my mom's lunch, (and it was raining!) we just headed to the reception. Since this coincided with Mother's Day (and P's family already had plans), the first person that came into my mind was to ask my sister to go with me! Aside from the fact that we haven't been out (just the two of us) for quite sometime already. I thought this was the perfect time to dress up and just play around with our clothes (which we so love doing!).

What I wore (which recently has been my favorite one (without the cardigan and shoes) to another event, hehe)...

Shoes & Pink

Busy, busy, busy at work.

Gorgeous photos to keep me sane over the week.

Happy Mother's Day!

To the two wonderful moms in our house, Happy Mother's Day!

Shangri-La

We kid about how we always tend to argue whenever we decide to go to Greenbelt for shopping.That's why this weekend we hit off Shangri-La and just have fun, goof around.



We missed Wendy's so much that even if we plan to dine at some place with Wifi, we decided to give this old tradition a try.



P as always looking hungry...haha! You don't even wanna know what he ordered!



After a few shops, we headed off to Edsa Shangri-La (for chocolates) and Fullybooked. As we were paying for a book we got for mom, the girl asked for my card and replaced it with a new one. Best thing about that is she gave me a 20% discount coupon which I can use on my next purchase. This is in part of the card replacement thing they were doing. Love it!



Of course, I had to get my yocard stash of the day!

Shangri-la it is! We had a great time! Doing all the cheapy-doo things and just doing things that we so love (music store + bookstore + clothes). Cant wait for our next trip to the mall.

P.S Fifi is no longer available in Shangri-La (aside from the humongous backpack). I guess it's really just the lunchbox at Rustan's Makati, huhu.

Show & Tell: Workspace

I remember being assigned a cube of my own with my own PC, phone, etc. and having a considerable amount of space all for myself. Being a newbie in the company, I didn't want to change a thing since I was too shy to move anything. But as I go to work everyday, I felt uncomfortable and uneasy, not having my "basics" at my disposal. Being the OC that I am, I know I had to home-ify my workstation to make myself more comfortable, most especially since I will be devoting most of my time in the office. Aside from the usual reminders and notes, my memory board has pictures of me, my dog, and P. Don't even get me started on my Post-It's and colored notepads that I have in every shape, size and color. Of course there's my trusty Moleskine, Pilot Gtec pens (I cannot write a thing without this!), newly sharpened pencils, my pink staple wires (haha!) magazines (for work), highlighters and of course a good cup of coffee.

You, what's in your desk?

Ozzy

Too bad summer is almost over. My little boy Ozzy is still enjoying the sun, in my sunnies.

Globetrotter + Undercover

Funny how the airport carousels are filled with luggages in plain black (guilty!), that I always see people tying a ribbon or something colorful just to be able to distinguish which among the pool is their bag. If money is not an option, I'd definitely travel in Globetrotter suitcases because of their classic designs, reminiscent of the glamorous days of air travelling, and of course way different that you can easily tell. But this? Oh! My favorite feline, Hello Kitty with gorgeous floral details inside!

Just trying out my new Polaroid application. Ain't this cute?! If you wish to add a text to your image, just do the tweaking via Photoshop. Enjoy!
