Capodimonte

My favorite side trip when I'm in Greenhills is to go around the furniture shops at the second floor. 

Always drawn to anything European when it comes to home interior, I spotted this one quickly and I was right. It is made in Capodimonte, Italy. I'm in love with a decor which costs P55k, brand new. 

Saturday gym + H&M Home sale

early birds at 9:30 a.m.

I confess I went to the gym today just to weigh myself. Haha.

Sabado de Gloria. Glorious ride indeed since everyone's on a vacation...

Tsinelas searching

March 28, 2015

I've been looking for quite sometime na for a 'sosyal' tsinelas/slippers or  sandals that I could use when I go malling or for occasions that don't require wearing formal footwear. Bago pa sana mag-Cebu trip. But I was unsuccessful. 

SM MOA

March 28, 2015

Our business requires us to go to the south of Manila at least thrice a week but dropping by SM MOA(which is just a stone's throw away) isn't always in our itinerary. We have SM North Edsa naman twenty minutes from our home so why bother. With the heavy traffic that we Filipinos endure almost everyday, ang feeling namin lagi ang hirap umuwi. We are always in a hurry because we don't want to get caught up in the middle of a traffic jam. Ngayon lang kasi my husband and son decided to watch the PBA (Rain or Shine vs Ginebra at 6pm) at the MOA Arena which is adjacent to the shopping center.

Shamrock's Otap

It's a good thing that Shamrock was just a kilometer away from our hotel. Apart from Lechon, Dried Mangoes and Daing(dried fish), Otap is the next on the list of Cebu's famous pasalubong.

S&R and a blowout

After a quick bank transaction, husband and I proceeded to S&R to buy pizzas, roasted chicken for my son's blowout for our office staff regarding his employment. We consider them part of the family already because they saw my son grew up, most of them have been with us even before he was  conceived.

Friday payday and Pasalubong shopping

I try not to go to the bank on paydays. Traffic and the number of people going out are the things that has to be considered. But sometimes it is inevitable. Ganito nangyari sa akin today. Due to traffic I wasn't able to retrieve the returned cheque that I needed to get today. I have my son with me ayaw ko siya ma-late. I postponed it for Monday and dropped him off at the MRT station and headed to the mall for two more bank errands and some window shopping.

UP Town Center on Valentine's day

UP Town Center

My son went out ahead of us with his cousins, Uncle and balikbayan Sis in law after having dinner at home. Husband asked me that we go out for coffee and dessert, so we headed to somewhere near. We don't wanna be caught in Valentine traffic dahil baka ang ending imbes na sweet, mag-sisihan pa kami. Surprisingly, it was light. Yun pala ang secret, go out at 9pm when everyone's almost done with their dinner dates na. Huwag makisabay.

Zara, Landmark shopping and Cafe Via Mare

I don't usually go out on Sundays. As much as possible, I avoid crowds during weekends in malls. Sa dami ng tao ngayon sa Metro Manila mas madalas ma-stress ako kesa ma-relax. Sa parking lot, puno. Sa fitting room, pila. Sa cashier, pila. Sa CR, pila. Pila-tes everywhere. Normally, it's the husband only that goes out and gets to bike with his buddies and as for me and my son, we just stay home. 

Pero today is an exception dahil may misyon ako- Project Shabby chic. As I've said, I want to refurbish our interiors with the French as an inspiration. I went to the mall by FX transpo and asked my husband to just fetch me when he's homebound na. I decided to take a peek at Zara first, one of my fave stores nowadays. Silip lang naman. Hindi ba I imposed a personal shopping ban last month because when I audited my expenses last year it turned out I went a little overboard. Kaya lang may SALE. Punyemas. Bakit ba ako napunta dito.
