I was able to go after all. Apparently, there was no need to feel sorry for myself for missing the sale . Hehe. I went on the third day. Most of the racks and stands were already empty. It was obvious that the remaining items were "napagpilian" already. A lot of people swarmed all over the Lacoste boutique. Even if they were on sale, they're still quite expensive. Generally speaking, most of the fire sale items I saw were 30% off the retail price. There were very few at 70% off the regular price. Maybe that's why the lines aren't that long anymore. There were lots of people though the crowd was manageable. I was hoping to get Bettina's baptismal garb but it wasn't on the racks. I was also hoping that the perfume I've been eyeing since March is on sale. Unfortunately, it is not. I didn't get a bag, though Vic said I could get one as his Mother's Day present (plus birthday, Valentine's and giving birth to Bettina). There was noth...

Due to limited baggage space, here's what Johann and I got from the Big Daddy I never thought Royce chocolates would be this good. The cube variant I previously had were good. However, the Nama variant really melts in the mouth. So glad that hubby brought home quite a stash. Good luck to me and my "elevated" blood sugar.

Reason#1: Inay's (paternal grandmother) first birthday after she passed on last April. We observed this special day with a prayer and a meal. We had pansit (for long life =P) and lumpiang shanghai. Cathy's Kitchen contributed pesto cream cheese bruschetta and banana cake with chocolate chips. Both items got raves from my trusted (read: honest) samplers. Jacob and Johann were getting bored and restless listening to praying adults. Here they are, confined in a room where they can amuse themselves. Reason #2: Kris' induction as a licensed guidance counselor. Kris, my sister, passed the board exam for Guidance Counselors. She will take her oath today at the Manila Hotel. Out of 140+ examinees, only 88 passed. I just read that there will be other practitioners who will be taking their oath, together with the successful examinees. That seems unfair. Reason #3: Vic's pasalubong a.k.a. advanced Christmas present. I told Vic that I didn't have anything specific in min...

My long day started with a leisurely walk in Greenbelt with Lesley. She previously wanted to check out bags. But, we ended up looking at everything. The bags were nice but the ones I like wont be available till next week. I finally got the courage to try on the a pair of brown and blue/pink loafers I've been eying online since a year ago. It is on sale at the Greenbelt outlet. It was a 5000-peso drop from the original price. Thank God, they don't have a bigger pair. I would have ended up paying for it at zero interest for three months. Tod's is my ultimate travel shoe. I hope to own a pair someday. Hopefully, before my next major vacation. Hint! Hint! LOL ! After hours of looking around, we still have nothing new in our hands. We are so pathetic! --------------- We capped off our window shopping with a meal at the Travel Cafe. The concept of the resto is unique. But, the food was nothing to brag about. Les and I split up an order of vegetable spring rolls ...
