What This Outfit Says About You

Your style is very sophisticated and elegant. Even if you’re wearing jeans, you still know how to look classy. You are enchanting and mysterious. You take your image seriously. You are glamourous in a delightfully old-fashioned way. Your high end fashion designer match: Nanette Lepore Your must have accessory: Long gloves

Saw this from Vannie and I got curious to see who am I most like.

There are photos of my little boy that just makes me gasp in wonder on how he has grown for the past couple of years.  This is one of those few pictures that makes me realize that he’ll be binata in no time!  I think I’ll go crazy once he starts dating I’m afraid I might give the girlfriends a really difficult time (hmmm… installing a wireless security system may be a good idea  )

I’ve started my Christmas shopping already and I’m off to a good start.  First, I’m not rushing - as I always do during the Christmas season - and second, stocks inside the stores are a plenty.  I’ve already purchased gifts for some inaanaks, friends, and officemates, but I still have a looong way to go.  I’ll do my next batch of shopping next weekend so that means a few x marks off the list.  I’m saving buying gifts for the dads and moms the last as these should be really well thought of.  I would want the gifts to be unique and useful at the same time.  Watcha think of magnetic bracelets?  Just bumped into an article about them, and they seem quite interesting (a jewelry piece and a medical “device” in one?).  Anyway, I have more than a month to think about it.  If my thinking fails, I’ll just resort to the ever dependable gift check (so much for these-should-be-really-well-thought-of thing )

Thanks, Gracie, for the flowers!  I honestly appreciate them

passing on a bunch each to my fellow la-”kiligans” ;)  Joy, Abie, and Peachy; and to Mandy, Tracy, Pat and MM.

Now let me call my broker for vehicle insurance quotes before my boss arrives and asks for them.  I’m gonna hear it if I don’t give it to him asap

Since I wasn’t able to schedule our US Visa interview appointment earlier and spend some time with my SIL in the US (and do some serious shopping ), I hoped that my other SIL could do it -the shopping - for me.  Unfortunately, she too, has postponed her trip.  I guess the revas just have to wait :(  Anyway, we haven’t got our visas yet so planning for the trip is a moot point.  If we’re lucky enought to get them, I’m thinking of taking the trip next year, and if budget permits, maybe go to visit gats’ relatives in LA, take a short trip to las vegas nv, and maybe even visit Disneyworld.  Let’s just see.

Snagged this one from Peachy.  Answering these Q’s is the perfect way to kill some lunch time while chewing on some balance bars :D  Seriously, I really like answering these types of questions

A loose, comfy shirt and boxer shorts

I’d wear something trendy

I do.  I’ve always admired Tina Maristela-Ocampo.  She just exudes style and class.  Recently, I’ve been admiring Jane Aldgridge’s amazing sense of style.  I adore this teenager to bits, and am green with envy with her vast collection of shoes!

A lot influence my style - it may be a person, my mood for the day, a color, etc.

Right now I’m thinking yellow.  But guess what?  I’m wearing a top with a really striking color yellow on it!

Pastel colors.  Would you believe I just discovered this the past wee? (while I was shopping at Zara)

Has to be the shoes.  It’s always about the shoes.  I don’t get to buy as often as I could though.

Style.  Period.  I don’t care if my shoes are already killing me 

Definitely.

It always does.

Just a few thousand bucks.  Emphasis on the few please.

a black CK belt (I badly needed one because I lost my/Gats’ AX belt a few weeks ago!), a book for Manu, a Nike’ Dunk Low for Manu (I am a fan of Nike’s kids shoes), Christmas gifts for inaanaks, and officemates, etc. etc.

Zara, Ylaya, Nine West, Kenneth Cole, Mango (though I’m disappointed with their merchandise of late), Rustan’s

Can’t tell.  Depends on the style and quality.

Anywhere, really.  I love going to the mall.

Not as often as I’d want

Sadly, I don’t have a closet full of clothes

I don’t keep tab of the number of shoes I own.

I’ve always wanted to pursue a career in fashion.  I had the chance before but I blew it.  I don’t know if the opportunity will come back again.

Yep!

:::The commoner, the spider woman, and the dinosaur::: 

You know how difficult it is to have a  two year old kid pose for the camera so just imagine how ecstatic we were when we had these toddlers pose like this - all at the same time!  And just look at where my little’s boy’s hand is placed? 

I wanted  to try Greenwich’s Lasagna Supreme for lunch as I’ve been ordering their Beefy Baked Mac for the past few days (i tend to order the same food for several days once i get the craving for it)  As soon as my ordered arrived, I opened the package and took a big bite (i had an empty stomach since more than 12 hours earlier so just imagine how hungry I was).  But as I took the first bite, I was horrified!  It tasted as if a bunch of nasty chemicals were used as the main ingredients!  It was really really reaaaaallly bad that I had to wash thoroughly just to get rid of that awful taste from my mouth.

Of course I complained.  First to their website  :lol:  but couldn’t get through so I called their delivery hotline instead (turns out their delivery hotline also acts as a complaint hotline )  And so I told the customer service rep about the lasagna and he assured me that the manager of the Rufino Tower Branch (where I bought The Lasagna)  would contact me about the incident.  I got the call just a few minutes later as promised.  The manager was pleasant (she should be) as she apologized for what happened.   She said there weren’t any complaints received from any of their dine-in customers, but nevertheless, she’ll be sending a new one for me.  I asked her what could have gone wrong and we both assumed that the awful taste might have come from the styro packaging.  You see, there wasn’t any paper liner that separated the food from the styro packaging so when the hot dish came in contact with the styro, it released chemicals which blended with the food.

I lost my appetite for anything Greenwich for obvious reasons (I just realized that just the memory of that horrible taste is better than taking Phentermine, hehe).  I’ll just content myself - for now - with my regular orders from KFC and Wendy’s.

Thinking of a Halloween costume for the little boy was really a no-brainer :D  I just had to choose which dinosaur specie he would be 

To save on cost, I ordered this ready made Dinosaur costume from a multiply seller last August:

I was told that I’d be getting the costume by the first week of October, but due to shipment problems (yeah right), the costume didn’t arrive as promised.  I was now forced to have one especially made for my MANUsaurus-rex

Thanks to Bumblebee, I got my little dinosaur’s costume just in time for his school’s Halloween parade.  I paid a bit more than retail  (not to mention,  some details weren’t followed to the t) but it was all worth it when we saw how Manu absolutely adored his costume!  Just check these photos of him checking himself out on our mirror (mind you, he kept on looking at himself all the time! haha!)

Gats and I almost begged him to remove it, and I had to literally tuck it away in our closet, away from his view!  His reaction (and his teacher’s ) really made our efforts worth it!

I’m posting photos (and some videos, if i can! hihi) soon.  Meanwhile, I’ll search online for a new table lamp for our bedside table.  Stay tuned!
