Trip to Tiendesitas

I woke up (late) today and the first thing that came to mind was the mirrored console I wanted. I thought about that little shop in Tiendesitas (Bella Decorare) we checked out before and decided I'd pay it a visit again. We were supposed to get a mirrored console before but they didn't have the size I wanted.



Anyways, I first thought it would be a bad time to go since it's hot and Tiendesitas has no aircon, but then I was really bent on going so off we went. I mean it is better to do this than be online and set up a sell merchant account right?

Unfortunately, the shop was gone. I googled and got a contact number. Too bad, they really closed shop. Oh well. I just looked around and found a furniture maker that had experience in making mirrored furniture. Yay, right? Well, to be honest I was bummed by the price, but it is still much lower than what Designs Ligna has quoted me. We'll see. Oh, I'm also choosing what the final design would be, because I am liking this too...

Again, we'll see. Like what the husby said, it depends on our budget. Hehehe.

These new loot didn't dent our budget though...
Love love love these two new additions. The only thing missing is this...

Riiiigggggghhhhhhttttt?

Hahahaha. I'm still hoping though that I'd have my hands on this beauty. Someday. If that's the case, bye bye console and dining table. Hahaha!

Happy Father's Day!

To all the fathers in the world, happy father's day!

To my husband,

Thank you for being such a wonderful father to our daughter. You have been a very attentive father to her. You have tirelessly taken care of our daughter during those times when I am unable to do so. Sometimes I feel that you do a better job at parenting than I do. Her welfare is very much your priority. This is why I can never thank you enough for loving our daughter the way you do. I know that with you as her father, she will be in very safe and secure hands, and that she will have a bright and happy future that is full of love coming from the two of us. I am very proud and very fortunate for having you as my other half when it comes to raising our lovely daughter.

Happy Father's Day Papa Enrique.

Reunited

My group of really close friends had a gathering last night and boy it was a truly fun evening, something we should do on a regular basis. Aside from the usual lively conversation (about married life and how to lose weight, among others, good food and booze, we got to play Tekken 6, thanks to our hosts's to-die-for gaming system. Yep, really really lovely one. It made me want to buy a gaming console too, hahaha. But anyways, aside from the fun time, it was a special moment for me because I was reunited at last with one of my best friends...

Meet Tequila Rose, my long lost best buddy.

Hehehe. You know, if I am not driving, I probably downed this whole bottle. Hahhaha. Just kidding. But hey, before anyone berates me for drinking and driving... I sobered up before we called it a night (hmmm, do you still call 1:30 "night" hehehe!). My fingers, especially my thumbs are sore though, thanks to playing Tekken.

Anyways, I look forward to our next gathering. Really, this should be regular again, like old times!

I Saw Ji Hoo!

For those of you who don't know, Ji Hoo is one of the lead characters of Boys Over Flowers.


Anyways, here's the story:

My family had a surprise birthday party for my Uncle at Crowne Plaza. While waiting for our car to go home, a group of biggie security guards positioned themselves. We were wondering who the personality or personalities who will come. I jokingly told my brother to ready his camera. Unfortunately, one of the guards saw us and he smiled at us and signalled that cameras our not allowed. We got more intrigues by this. By that time too, a group of women were already gathered just a few meters away from the lobby where we were.

Then after some time, a Korean guy entered the hotel. He was looking down, THEN HE LOOKED AT ME. I saw the whole face, and I am 100% sure that it was Ji Hoo (Kim Hyun Joong in real life). I was too stunned but immediately thought... wait, could Gu Jun Pyo (Lee Min Ho) be here too???? Unfortunately no. It wasn't the Boys over Flowers gang, but Ji Hoo's band mates that walked after him.

He is really good looking. Delicate features but my oh my, really really good looking. And his figure ain't that bad too. I guess he regularly works out and uses a dip bar. Hehehe. But more importantly, I will not forget our moment when he looked at me. We had a moment, you know. Hahahha.

My sister was crazy jealous she was screaming (with some curses too hahaha) when I told her.

Props to Crowne Plaza though for their strict policies - no cameras, no shouting and calling, no frenzy. No wonder they are the international celebrities' choice hotel when staying here.

Real Living Book: Small Space Solutions

I may not be able to get Apartment Therapy's latest book on small spaces, so I am really looking forward to grabbing myself a copy of Real Living's book on Small Space Solutions.


Hope it is packed with ideas on how to design and organize a compact home like ours. And I also hope it will touch on home office, because as you know I am a bit fixated about having my own home office (but with prettier office furniture supplies).

Can't wait!

I swore not to check out bags lately (and blog about them), but I just couldn't resist the Chloe Gemma Bag in Khaki.


I want this.

Unfortunately (and fortunately for my husby), I cannot find this online. Ack.
