Ang Alkansya *bow*

I can't remember when I started to save money using a piggy bank but I always reminisce the feeling when I get to break it and count how much I've already saved.

I remember an IM conversation between me and my sister a few months back regarding the alkansya I left back home. Here goes:

ME: May laman pa yung alkansya ko? (I was supposed to ask her to continue putting Php5 and Php10 coins.)

OSHIN: Nung huling dukot ko meron pa!

ME: *facepalm* Bakit mo binabawasan?

OSHIN: Eh wala akong barya pamasahe.

*tugsh*

I miss home (a.k.a. Maligaya) and all the noise therein.

Fashion Find: Topshop Vintage Bag

I am a sucker for bargains and discounts and if I find one it's like there's a war in my head. Taking a learning from Nina Garcia's "Little Black Book of Style", you don't buy immediately when you find a bargain (no mater how cheap it it). Well, that's not how she exactly said it but that's the way I understood it. Weigh the options (if there are), and in this case there aren't a lot - it's the only bag on sale with a really cheap price (for a brand like Topshop).

And I'm talking about my recent fashion find:

Topshop Floral Vintage Bag

I'm not really a fan of the brand but I admit there are some great finds in there. Well, here at least. The bag originally costs S$96 (Php 3,000) but the orange tag told me it's only S$19 (Php 600). So yes, no war happened in my head because I surrendered.

What I like about it is the vintage vibe and the floral design.

It will be a pretty date bag or office bag. I just have to make sure that I don't put in too much things in it because the material is not suitable for carrying heavy things. Can't wait to use it. ;-)

Distractions

I've been going through something that can give my life a 360-degree turn (or 180, depends on how you look at it). Well, unfortunately, I can't disclose it here.

It's a good thing I'm a very optimistic person and waiting is kind of my thing. I just need some distractions to make me forget for a while. I found several I want to share:

• Get your own internet connection.
• Watch movies or series you like.
• Read a book or a magazine
• Run.
• Walk.
• Talk to friends and family - SMS, e-mails, calls, etc.
• Window shop.
• Stalk.
• Think (or not).
• Sleep.
• Eat.
• Pray.

I guess these are enough to distract me but I'm keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed.

I'm hoping for the best and expecting the worst at the same time.

Best Birthday Gift (to date)

My birthday is three months away and yet a friend already gave me the

BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT EVER!

Well, she said that this is only a teaser but this already made my year.

I wonder what the actual birthday gift will be.

Run. Run. Run.

Sometimes you got to run after your dreams.
No matter how far they are ahead.

Because it is the only way to catch up.
