I love this design blog.
How I wish I have a blank canvass (new space) to work my magic on already.

TORY BURCH
I love wallets as much as bags. Maybe even more. But the thing with wallets, I am monogamous. I have this strange attachment with wallets, I can't be in love with a lot. I have relationships with these things. Deep relationships and I tend to get attached to just one for a period of time. Once I move on to the next, I can't go back to my old ones. So I usually own a maximum of three wallets at a time since I usually sell them after I get tired of them. My bags are not as organized as I want to since I always change bags. But not with my wallet, it's so organized, people find it amusing. I have this pattern on how I arrange the paperbills, the cards, the receipts, etc. My family can attest to this, I'm afraid.
This is my next love. I want a patent one in Cognac Red.
Paolo kept asking why something that looks ordinary and sounds strangely like Milk can cost too much... He's still learning, bless him.

Life goes on
Amidst the hoolahs, the best thing to do I believe is just go on and continue doing what I'm doing. I felt paranoid for some time but then that's how internet is for you. You can't believe everything you read. I'm just comforted by the fact that I'm confident people would be able to tell the posting's fake.

Harajuku Lovers Lover
I think my lifestyle hankers for bags that are less precious on days I have to run around and do some errands. But I just couldn’t for the life of me, use boring nylon and generic canvass bags. I’ve been meaning to get another Rootote bag for Summer but I couldn’t find something that I really like. I have just been informed by my supplier that The Rootote Paris and Capital I've been waiting for for months have been discontinued already. So one day while I was looking for my “pang-harabas” bag, I chanced upon a Harajuku Lovers by Gwen Stefani tote bag. I’m really interested with Japanese and Kawaii fashions although I wouldn’t really wear something as hardcore. So it generally comes out in my choice of accessories.
I just have to say, I’m hooked! I liked all the cutesy prints. More so, the price. I want to go back to school again and have this for my school bag. I ordered the Snow Bunnies baby blue with pink strap design. Although right now, I’m contemplating about the Danny Roberts for Harajuku.
My bag arrived this morning and my husband was wondering what the new package was. Now you know. =D

Valentines Weekend
I thought we'll be spending the weekend on the beach. We ended up by the mountains. =D It was something new.
But then, anywhere is ok as long as I'm with you. ;)
Late Post
...At baby Zell's Christening.
It's amusing that my high school friends and I only see each other on weddings and christenings these days.
Ack. Has it really been that long?

yah-dee-dah-doo
I had the best pre-Valentines gift from the hubby ever, That's 6 Valentines total. I got a big surprise this morning while going through my day's work. I'm still reeling over it. hehe.
Call me unromantic, I still believe Cash is the best gift. ;)
Anyway, I've been so busy the past few days I wasn't able to find time to post anything much. I got so sick last Monday, I had to go to the hospital. I was thinking it was maybe because of too much stress. Although I'm going to miss the seasonal highs when its over. I realized I love being busy. I would start working even before Pao leaves the house and still continue to work right before he goes to bed. I love doing things myself even though I have people to help me out, in the end I still like to touch everything and make sure they are at par with my standards. My perfectionist streak really comes out in this part of my life.
At last, its Friday! I'm so excited for this Valentines weekend! I will try to turn off my work mode switch. Although its a bit hard, I'll try to be less high-strung at least! Hubby has something up on his sleeves for this weekend. I always leave the planning to him because I'm all good just curled up at home. But I must say, I'm so looking forward to this...I think I deserve it. ;)

yea-hoo!
My new phone's here. I just hope I can use its other features other than for calling or texting. Its the first time I'm going to use a more tech-y phone. Yup, I've never liked a phone more than for its texting and calling purposes. I guess stepping up a notch tech-wise happens when you get married and have a guy around. I got one with keypads since I tried using a touch-screen before and I guess I'm not as advanced as everyone else yet. I still like to feel the "click" when texting. =D I just hope its worth it...
*Post note: I'm looooooving it!!!

I FELL IN LOVE...
It was as simple as that.
I didn’t really have a sob story. My life is actually good here. My family is not in dire need. I don’t have younger siblings to send to school. I have been going to the U.S. since I was a kid so it isn’t my Golden ticket.
Yet I took up Nursing.
My friend M from U.P. asked incredulously, “why do you want to go back to school, and nursing at that?” She said she can picture me kicking a*s in the boardroom than helping save lives in the operating room. Fair enough. Even my parents were surprised when I told them about my decision years ago. My papa kept asking, “Are you sure?” I think he was worried I was just going through one of those phases.
I’ve never thought of myself in the Medical field. When I got into U.P., it was for a pre-med course. I remember my eyes glazing over Math 17 while my classmates who are now doctors are quite contented solving over some problems that would whisk them off to med school. I remember asking myself what I was doing there. My mama always told me I was her ace (don’t tell my sisters that) so I thought U.P. was the way to go and I was off to be a doctor. I didn’t know what I wanted. All I knew was I like writing, I like speaking and so in my third year, I shifted to a totally unrelated course yet a course that I felt I was really good at. I loved my Orcom course, I will do the same all over again. I’ve met the smartest and most creative people I know that pushed me to be better. I think my creativity was honed in this period of my life. I am proud to hold an Orcom degree. It didn’t prepare me just to kick a*s in the boardroom…but prepared me for life.
I had a few good offers after graduation, I even worked for a while with one of the country’s top I.T. companies and advertising agencies but still…something’s missing. After a long hiatus in the United States and some soul-searching, I just came home and went up to my parents and humbly asked them to bear with me for a wee longer. I wanted to go back to college.
Taking up Nursing for me is like falling in love with the person everyone least expects you to fall in love with. A few months into my second course, it felt so natural, I felt really good at it, and I loved it. I understood the holistic essence of it. Of course, I found out about its tough side but I realized you have to love it to understand its meaning, its purpose. But I was embarrassed to tell people about it. Suffice to say, I kept “her” a secret. But I knew deep in my heart, I am home. I realized, why do I need reasons to be here? I just want to. That’s reason enough. Now, passing the boards is like marrying “her.” There’s no turning back.
I fell in love and it was as simple as that. For all the bad press nursing is getting for all those who say their parents forced them to, for all those who say this is their golden ticket and for all those who snort and say it’s just the rage: That is what I’m going to tell you.
I fell in love, as simple as that.
And with that, I promise to love “her” with all my heart.

I own the same crappy phone for a year now. I've been meaning to get myself a new phone as my business phone and get a personal line since my old number is now my business number. Its hard wading through unknown numbers. Just today, I sent a personal message to a client instead of my husband.
So now I am in a boring task of looking for a phone that fits me, a business phone. Two-sim phones are too complicated for me. I'm shallow when it comes to these things. I judge the book by its cover and couldn't really care less if its a Symbian OS 9.2, Series 60 v3.1 UI yah-dee-dah-doo. I care more about its chrome body than its wi-fi capacity or its gazil megapixels camera. I'm the kind of girl who likes a laptop for the internet, a digicam for the pictures and and ipod for the music.
I'll have the hubby pick the right one for me, will post later. I'm still in doubt though if I really need one. Yes siree. I dont have an internal battle when it comes to buying an nth bag...but hello mrs. scrooge to everything else.

No Grey Mondays here!
For some reason, I love Mondays. It’s a fresh start for me. This Monday is particularly special because of all the good things happening the last few weeks. I’m revved up for the week to tackle once and for all my projects that are lined up.
First, I would just like to say Thanks everyone for the greetings. I must admit, I have been having an attack of nerves the past few days waiting for the result. And when it finally came out; what a feeling to be part of that measly 38%! Such a sweet, sweet feeling. Thank you, God! Now I have more time to focus on the next projects and agenda.
I’m so excited Charmed Life Family is getting bigger! I’m so happy with these developments. I was a bit apprehensive and worried last month if I can keep up with the growth. But then, I realized no one can really 100% prepare for anything, one just learns along the way. I think I’m ready to take it to the next level. Bring it on!
My projects for this week:
1. Finally fix my little “office-workstation.”
2. Finish the Pignataro-Cerezo Wedding Project
3. Organize my review materials, back to student mode!
4. Make an inventory of The Bead Bar
5. Redecorate “our room” in Prj8
6. De-clutter! De-clutter! De-clutter! I’m thinking of either making a Garage Sale or putting up my stuff on ebay for sale.
7. Design a new line for this week
8. Organize once and for all my bag closet
9. Meet up and finalize with new resellers
Go! Go! Go! I’m glad I had a great weekend.
