Doi! I want to go to the Russian Film Festival but CCP is far. I hate Manila traffic. Anyway, here’s the schedule.

A photo exhibit will also be mounted for the duration of the festival to commemorate Soviet Union’s victory in World War II.

The event is a presentation of Mosfilm Studios, Russia’s biggest filmmaker, in cooperation with the Embassy of the Russian Federation, Film Development Council of the Philippines, the CCP and the Philippines-Russia Friendship Society.   Five classical and contemporary films produced by Mosfilm will be screened: Ward No. 6, Vanished Empire, The Star, Mirror, Agony.

How I wish we have an IKEA store here. They’re not that cheap and they’re probably not built to last but I like some of the items they sell. When I went to an IKEA store in the US, I bought a down feather duvet, duvet cover, and a nice desk lamp. I wanted to buy more but as I’ve said, they’re not very cheap and some of the items they sell, furniture in particular, won’t fit the luggage. I really want the foldable desk I posted here and I’ve only seen it in IKEA. My room isn’t so big so I need space-saver furniture. Unfortunately, that table isn’t available in IKEA resellers in the Philippines but I might as well share with you where we can get IKEA stuff in our country.

I want a computer desk/vanity for my room. I’m just using a lap desk and it’s ruining my posture which is bad to begin with. I saw a really cool glass desk at Crossings Department Store but it’s huge and VERY expensive. It’s around 9,000 pesos. I’ll check out other malls but in the meantime, I’ve been browsing the next for design inspiration.
