LOVE FROM THE PHILIPPINES

Last January, my parents and sister took a month vacation to the Philippines. I was so envious. ;(

It's been almost a decade and I wonder, what the Philippines look like now? I know, the traffic is still ass crazy. I bet, aside from the traffic, the Philippines is a lot different now. One day, I'll get to visit, shop at Divisoria, see my relatives, my friends and get to inhale the Manila pollution. Maybe, this year? And if I'll be home this year or next year, I wanna meet some of the Pinoy bloggers. I have a feeling that it'll be awkward? No, actually, I'll be that awkward person in the crowd. haha

Anyway, I asked for a LOT of stuff. Here's some of it.

My mom got me this Hello Kitty bag. I have another HK bag that my sister got me from Japan. But, I'm too lazy to take a pic of it. =) My ass is just too comfortable right now. :D

You can't really see the inside, I know. ;p It has a zipper and a mini pocket and on the side, there's a pocket for this

And this is the zipper

My cousin got me this

I'll use this as my journal. My weight loss journal.

GOLDILOCKS! haha

Guess what's inside?haha I have a weird "addiction" back in the days. And that is, to sniff the National Book Store plastic bag. :p

I AM A CANDY GIRL! This is the magazine I grew up reading. I am just a bit disappointed with Candy, now. The magazine was way different from what it was years ago. I guess, it became too Hollywoodized. Years ago, Candy's focus is on teen Filipinas and Filipinos. They use local celebs and Candy readers as their cover/models. Not that I'm against Hollywood stars. But, if I'm gonna dig Hollywood, I'll buy Vogue, or that Teen Bop magazine. Oh, well, it's just me.

owwkay, I DID NOT (haha the intensity of NOT :p) ask for this magazine! haha my mom thought, this is the Candy magazine that I want. At least, there's a Super Junior and Lee Min Ho posters inside.

Angel's Breath. I've always loved this sweet innocent-ish smell. I also wanted a Bebelot. Unfortunately, they don't sell it anymore. :(

SHOES!! My family and bf teases me that I could be the next Imelda Marcos. I still have 3 more pairs at my parents house and I'll get them when I come home next month. I think, between my apartment and my parents' house? I have more than 100 pairs.

bag organizer

I definitely need this bag organizer =)) 'coz I "lose" my things inside my own purse.

cousin got me this

AANNNNNDDDDD

A

A 20 peso bill. And, that's my old Hello Kitty wallet. :D

I'm excited to get the rest of what they got me from the Philippines in 30+more sleeps. I can't wait to use my new punching & kicking shield bags and work on those kicks. My punch mitts are worn out now and I'm still saving up for new kickboxing equipments. Darn, those heavy bags are worth $400 a piece. Oh, well. Someday.
