Balenciaga L'Essence Paris

I currently have the Balenciaga Paris, but I just saw that a new fragrance will be out this September...

Something greener! I can't wait till this is out in the market. I am happy with the original version so I really hope that I will not be disappointed with this new version. Note that I love those "green" perfumes so my standards are high this time, hehehe.

Read more here at Now Smell This

Also, check this out in Youtube.


Gotta love youtube, you know. Not only are you able to watch videos that don't get aired in your country... you tube video download applications also allow you to save these videos. Amazing, isn;t it?

Anyway, going back to the fragrance... I am really really looking forward to it. Balenciaga, you better make this rock. Hahahaha!

You are one of the most balanced people around Motivated and focused, you are good at getting what you want You rule at success, but success doesn't rule you. When it's playtime, you really know how to kick back Whether it's hanging out with friends or doing something you love! You live life to the fullest - incorporating the best of both worlds

Do You Have a Type A Personality?

Blogthings: 100's of Fun, Free Quizzes and 3 Stupid Ones

Yeah, I think the test result perfectly suit me. While I may be laid-back and all, I do have those tendencies of OC-ness (if I get a vehicle like a For Ranger for instance, I'd want ford ranger custom floor mats and not those generic ones haha), impatience, and mild dominant trait. Not aggressive though, just assertive. :)

These Shoes Rock!

Valentino Studded Flats

I was really THIS close to getting a pair, but then my size was not available!

There's the rose/platinum color in my size in another online site, but can't ship to the Philippines...

I guess this was the inspiration of the Zara shoes I wanted to get but didn't have my size too... :(

Oh well.

Shinoda + Nyan Cat = NYANODA

Sorry, just had to share this funny (for me at least) clips of Mike Shinoda and his Nyan Cat fascination!





He's so funny. He love this video/tune! He must love cats, hahaha. Actually, dogs maybe since he posted a picture of his dog (called the dog the new producer hahaha). Wonder if he ever considered Veterinarian Jobs hahaha!

Anyways, enough of that, and back to the NYAN CAT.

This my friends is the original Nyan Cat:



Irritatingly funny, noh?

And here's the NYANODA....

Week of Neglect + Moleskine

Goodness, I didn't get to post anything the whole week! I was really very busy with work, and when I come home, just spent a few minutes checking out tumblr while teaching my daughter to read. Multi-tasking, hahaha.

Anyways, I also feel bad that though I have gotten myself a Moleskine notebook (finally, yay!), some soft pastels, and three types of charcoal pens to unleash the creative side of me (again), I have not started on anything yet. But, i really plan to do something this week. simple sketches, nothing fancy. Or anything - poems, quotes, whatever, what will fill my special notebook. Special... I even have a title for this black book of mine... "33 and after." Hahaha.

Have a good weekend to all!

It's been a while since I last bought food magazines (I prefer searching online or buying books instead), but the latest issue of Appetite magazine whetted my, ahem, appetite.

I love the recipes, I love the feature stories too. It's a must-buy for all you food lovers out there. check it out!

Dear Husband,

You don't scrimp on cars, and you want to get the best you can afford. You certainly don't scrimp on LCD tvs, because you want to watch your football games with the best surround / digital video system you can buy.

So why are you having difficulty finding value in getting a really nice laptop? You certainly need a durable and high quality one, so why turn down this lovely little thing called Macbook Air???

I've shown you a computation and logic behind getting a nice Macbook for your own use, right. No, it will still run your ship's software (told you the details). Yes, there are good finance plans (0% installment for 6-12 months).

So please, please please, save yourself from further techie heart-ache and get one.

Else, don't come crying to me telling me your screen is bonking out.

Deal?

Lovingly yours,
Wifey.

PS: I love you to death. And this blog is just for humor, so don't shoot me.

Current Online Reads

Aside from my Tumblr fix and Net-a-porter weekly online magazines, here is my current favorite online read:

A simply luxurious life, while full of the concept less is more, luxuriates in the decadence of high quality, complementary style and an appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us in decor, fashion, nature and people themselves.

This site is like wow. Lots of inspirational entries: from fashion, to food, to home design, to anything lifestyle. Plus I love reading about the reflections and insights. Must read!

Mom's Retirement Plans

I spent my Sunday last week with my family, and it really felt like comfort food: it gave me that warm fuzzy feeling staying in a home where I grew up, with no care in the world and just doing my own thing.

Anyways, I had a chat with my Mom, and though I knew that deep inside there is this fear of uncertainty, I saw that she was looking forward to her retirement. She talked about pruning herself (hahaha) at home before thinking about what to do next. She talked about her European tour plans, one of which is her dream of visiting Prague:

She talked about buying a really nice Balenciaga bag (before retiring of course hahaha)

Though she will retire two years from now, as early as now I am already thinking about what to give her when she retires, looking at retirment gifts online to see which would suit her personality. Something simple, but meaningful of course. Party too? Hmm, maybe. We'll see. So I better save up for this!

Style Inspiration: Olivia Palermo

There's something about Olivia Palermo's style that I really love. She may be snooty, like how "The City" has portrayed her, but heck, I really fancy her. Not to mention the fact that her face is beautiful too.

This get up by her is so very me. Laid back, loose, casual. Love.

Wish I could wear shorts hahaha!

To those interested, again, sorry for not informing you. This was out a couple of weeks back. Hope there are still copies in these bookstores. :)

Happy reading!

My Thoughts on Exercise

If only exercise is as easy as:

Surfing the net...

Or daydreaming...

Or even reading a book...

Then I wouldn't have a problem doing it, right????

So please, can somebody invent an exercise that's all in the mind or something to do with brain activity, but works and makes you slim?

Sony Digital Camera

Saw this at Chuvaness's blog, and parang I like...

Ultimate plug n' play, thanks to the built-in usb connector. I really don't like those cords, especially since I have the knack of losing them. Hehehe.

According to the Sony Philippines website:

• 16.1 Mega Pixels
• 4x Optical Zoom
• 4GB Internal memory
• Sweep Panorama
• 2.7" Clear Photo LCD Screen
• Intelligent Auto Mode

Full specs can be found HERE.

Methinks I ought to get a new camera especially since my old Canon camera is conking out lately:

(I call this my LV camera hahaha)
