A Funny Bag Story

coach patchwork bag


Tignanello bag

Last November, one of Irwin's uncle from the States arrived and brought us several handbags. Uncle boy has a lot of Coach bags and he has one Tignanello bag. I was particularly eyeing this very attractive coach bag ( 3rd picture above) but I have to keep my excitement because in reality that bag will never ever be mine. House culture dictates that whatever leftovers ( napag-pilian or ayaw) will be passed to me. I cannot choose what I want.

So the inggitera in me, tried to sulk a little bit because I got this plain, never heard before bag and together with Irwin tried to research about the authenticity of the coach bags. Turned out from among the bags that Uncle Boy bought, mine turned out the original. We found a similar Coach bag from a site that sells different kinds of bags from Coach to Balenciaga.

We even went to Divisoria after Christmas to look for a similar bag because Irwin knows it's fake. We didn't see any. Just last week it was his sister's ( she got the bag) turn to go to Divi and sees her bag in different shapes and size to her disappointment. Nahuli lang kami ng 2 weeks saka siya lumabas.

I thought these bags are forbidden in the States kasi pirated and fake?

Paying Post... I want!

I like to read and write, as far as I can remember I was creating poems since I was nine years old, during the days of Uncle Bob's Lucky Seven Club at channel 7. I was already creating short stories and short novel when I was in high school and I was a writer in our school paper. I was one of the "emo" writers who write passionately and try to stir some emotions. My hobby for writing never stopped especially right now that I have an outlet through blogging.

Blogging is the newest trend in the internet world where you can share your ideas and talent in writing. You can write just about anything and everything. It is in other people's blog that I get to learn and new things and see other people's perspectives. It is through blogging that a person can express herself not just in the posts that a person writes but also through the art one has to place in the page of the blog. There is artistry and a sense of uniqueness in every blog. Not only that, one advantage of having a blog is getting advertisement from sponsors and they will pay you. Yes, they really pay. You
get paid to blog There are a lot of products and services wanting to be discovered. In these days and time majority of the people are internet users and these are the targets of blog advertisers.

One of these blog advertisers is Paying Post. They pay you for posting
good and honest reviews. I especially like to give reviews especially of the restaurants or movies that I watched. I especially like it if people read my reviews and give their comments.

SO if anyone out there has no blog yet, better start one and give yourself a break and a chance to earn through blogging that pays and make payingpost your choice.

Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis

Yesterday at America's top 40, this is their number one song for 2008 and I do not even know this song.
So I will place it in my blog so I can remember it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!


Closed off from love
I didn’t need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you’re frozen
But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone’s looking round
Thinking I’m going crazy

But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing’s greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I’m going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don’t care what they say

I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

And it’s draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I’ll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love

After Christmas Sales

This is one of those times when I wished I was in the States to avail of the clearance sale and after Christmas sales. I was searching for things last Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and there are a lot of great deals.

Deals are the same with the Black Friday on the following stores:

ToysRUs less than 5 dollars
Dora Doll

rainbow house
Kitty dog toy

Bath and Body Works 3 for 15 dollars

Black raspberry vanilla

lush orchid tote 5 dollars

What did you do on Christmas day?

1. I had a self-pedicure while putting Kiara to sleep ( sa duyan).
2. I created a scrap book aka baby book for Kiara
3. We went to my parent's house
4. I placed my teaching materials in a clear book for easy reading
5. Ate baked mac, barbeque, ham for breakfast and sinigang for lunch and hamonado at dinner ( my parents house na ang dinner)
6. Sent out text messages to my friends.

Wow Christmas is over, though this is the first time we will be celebrating Christmas with a baby we were not excited or it really became an ordinary day for us. I listed the things I did yesterday and it's Christmas. There is nothing extraordinary. (except for the pedicure, that was extraordinary) Kiara is receiving gifts even if it is not Christmas, we can eat delicious and special food even if it is not Christmas. We can go to our parent's house even if it is not Christmas.

We went to mass last December 24 at Dusit and Irwin had a sour temper. We had to wake the sleeping babies just to go to Dusit and attend the mass. He said we could have attended the mass in a nearby church and we have to attend it in Dusit pa. Irwin's sister went there, turned out she ordered our Noche buena feast of barbeque and baked mac. Plus, we had to bring her baby so the baby could get the gifts from his ninong and ninang. Hitting two birds with one stone. Ayan tuloy lalong nagkasakit si baby he couldn't sleep because of his cough and cold. Kiara got her cold when I brough her to our Christmas party and she didn't sleep the whole day, that's why di siya naka-rest, nagkasakit tuloy.
Anyways, how can we make Christmas special? Do anyone feel the same sentiments?

Kiara is Six Months Old

Kiara turned six months last Saturday, December 13, 2008. I only have one line for her... ISN'T SHE LOVELY?

For her sixth month this songs keeps on poking my mind. A reminisce of old video viewing from Jason Magbanua. This song is from Stevie Wonder and written by Frank Sinatra. Both men dedicated this song to the birth of their daughter. A gift from God. Babies are gift from God. This Christmas is a blessing for me and Irwin to have Kiara with us this Christmas.

Isnt She Lovely - Stevie Wonder

Isnt she lovely
Isnt she wonderfull
Isnt she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love wed be
Making one as lovely as she
But isnt she lovely made from love

Isnt she pretty
Truly the angels best
Boy, Im so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I cant believe what God has done
Through us hes given life to one
But isnt she lovely made from love

Isnt she lovely
Life and love are the same
Life is aisha
The meaning of her name
Londie, it could have not been done
Without you who conceived the one
Thats so very lovely made from love

Busy Mommy

Can't wait for the Christmas vacation, I am so tired already, wala na akong energy. Monday, Tuesday and Friday I have graduate school to attend. ang work ko from 9am to 4:30 then I have to rush to Boni for the graduate school. I have work pa on Saturday, 8 am to 4:30. Minsan puyat pa kay Kiara. Wala akong pasok ng Wednesday pero this is my checkup time sa Medical or time to do errands. May kelangan pa akong i-compute na assignment namin sa Statistics. May dalawang thesis pa ako na ihahandle, me as their adviser. Patay na talaga! As in I even dreamed na patay na ako, in my dream multo ako. Kasi yung last na subject na binigay sa akin pandagdag talagang sinabi ko, "papatayin nyo yata ako sa pagod eh". So that night, I had a dream. Haay, sana nga bakasyon na.
