A few months ago I had a chance to meet Thor. He used to work at my office and dropped by to visit my office mates and invite them to the opening of Space Encounters, a new furniture store in Emerald Ave., Ortigas. I looked at the flier and found it really interesting so I told N all about it since he was looking for furniture for his new place. Much to my disappointment, N got to visit it first before I could since his office was just nearby. He told me that the place was really nice and that made me want to see it even more.





Yesterday, after finding out that the couch N wanted from Bo was already sold, N asked me if I wanted to go to Space Encounters and check out the stuff. As usual, I wasn't prepared and forgot my camera at home.

I thought the place was really cool! The pieces were so funky that it made me want to move out of our house and get a new apartment so I could decorate it. They had all the things that I wanted for my dream modern retro house.






See what I mean?






Motto for life!






Mao Tse Tung lamps





Obviously Nic was just as impressed because he immediately decided to just have his couch and bed made by them. We were lucky enough to catch owners Thor and Wilmer during our visit.


Before this trip I told Nic that I wanted to buy something nice but completely useless. I've been trying to spend my money wisely for the past few days and it has been so hard. I knew that one useless purchase would finally put me at ease... Ang guess what I found...






Probably one of the coolest watches I've ever seen! And just as I was about to buy it, I thought I'd look around one last time. And I'm happy I did because... Guess what I found...






*GASP*





*GASP, GASP*

A wind-up vintage alarm clock! With a pin up girl on it! I was love! I knew it wasn't totally useless, but I knew I didn't have a need for it! I had to have it. So I bought it. For 950 bucks I thought the clock was still worth it. I can't stop looking at it.






I was told that the clock will be featured in a new magazine called Monday. I can't wait until the next issue come out! Yes! Proud owner!


Thor noticed my amusement for pin up girls and showed me his stash of pin up girl canvases. He's a big fan of them too. I told him I'd save up money and have a little foot stool/sewing kit made using that pin up girl printed fabric. Hopefully in the near future.

As soon as I was broke I was ready to leave. Nic was done discussing his bed and couch with Wilmer too. Before leaving they gave us super cool notebooks! Yay! I love this place!




Coolness. More notebooks!

Yes, R, we will visit Space Encounters again.
