bury me in this dress

Sorry for the unexpected hiatus. I was sick last week with the flu. I was also absent from work for 3 days. A few things have changed since I last wrote here. I’ll try to them as I write this post.

I don’t think I ever mentioned this but a couple of weeks ago, I fell in love with a pink Anna Sui bag. The initial price is cheap. I think it was 800 pesos. I don’t remember if I was the first one to bid but another girl was wanted the bag too so for several days, we tried to outbid each other. I placed my maximum bid to 2,500. I don’t recall why I was sleepy. Maybe from lack of sleep or I was feeling sick. But I slept early. Like 10 PM. Can you believe that?! 10 PM!!!! So okay, when I checked my mail the next day, I found out I lost the bag. The bitch stole my bag for P2,700. Waaaah! So now I am still obsessed with that bag. In my desperation, I tried to find Ebay Japan but that doesn’t exist. There’s Yahoo Japan though but the site is in Japanese and I found out that the Japanese don’t really like selling to gaijins like me. So I googled for Japan auctions and learned that there are websites which offer bidding services for gaijins who want something from Yahoo Japan. I found a good one, japanauctioncenter.com which offers the service at a cheaper rate than their competitions. I joined the site and deposited a couple thousand of pesos. I saw bags like the one I lost in ebay.ph but they were brand new and expensive. I’ll keep on waiting for a good deal for that bag but for now, I still bid on other Anna Sui products. I actually won a nice wallet. I’m still crossing my fingers for the bag. It’s just like the bag in the photo here except it was pink.

I have 2 Anna Sui bags now which I won on ebay.ph. They’re not as nice as the one I wanted but what can I do?

I am working on a new project. It’s web-related and it’s looking good. I’ll keep that a secret for now.

I just remembered that my driver’s license is expired and I need to renew it. Gah. It expired last Nov. 26. I have to pay penalty fee for not renewing it in the proper time.

I ordered Absolutely Fabulous 1 to 3 and Degrassi Junior High the complete collection on Amazon and I got the DVDs last week. I haven’t started watching them though. Hopefully I’ll find time to watch during the short xmas holiday.

I’m so pretentious. I got myself a moleskine notebook and a large moleskine sketchbook. For those not in the know, moleskine is the brand of notebook Hemmingway, Van Gogh, Picasso, and other brilliant people used. This is what I get from hanging out in philmug.ph. Moleskine.ph overcharges those damn notebooks but I still ordered from the owner who is a philmug regular. It’s just a damn notebook but I’ll keep the illusion that I’m brilliant too because they are expensive. I just got them but I ordered last month. Damn longbeard (the seller). I’m still happy with the purchase though.

I already mentioned about the ibook I have. Well, I bought a bag for it. It’s a Samsonite laptop backpack but it’s way cheaper than the bag I saw in the Samsonite store. I bought mine from istudio in Greenhills. I also bought a…I don’t know what they’re called but they’re stands for the laptop and it’s spherical in shape. That one is expensive but it’s serving me well. I overspent my shopping that day because I also ended up buying an Edifier speaker for my ipod. It’s cheaper than the other good speakers I saw before so I took one.

Great. Most of my activities involve spending. What about me getting money? I hope I didn’t lose any of my regular readers with this update. I would also like to pass around my patented tin can with class? Funds are low once again and sprinking a few $$$ my way would cheer me up in time for the holidays

I’m too sleepy now. I could hardly keep my eyes open. Please be generous while I sleep. I’ll post again about the changes in my life when I find time at work.
