Babe I Love You

Here's the thing. Sometimes I like Anne Curtis, sometimes I don't. And in this movie, I super did! I thought the movie would suck but it didn't! I loved it! The usual. Rich boy, poor girl. But I liked the twist! Watch eeet!

Space Encounters: Encountered

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.

i: Shopping Challenge with R

I don't know how our goal to save up led to shopping but somehow it did so here are my SM finds:



IN 2 IT lipstick in Pink Alarm:

If the sales lady said that R would look like Anne Curtis after two coats of her nude lipstick, I assumed I'd look like the sales lady after 2 coats of this pink one, as she was wearing the same shade. Haha! 

 I didn't want to buy the lipstick first since I promised I'd only spend 200 bucks (maximum) for a pink lipstick. After much pressuring from R, I caved and bought the damn thing for 375, I think. Whatever happened to cheap make up in SM??? I went over budget with this one. I still firmly believe that the lipstick was expensive because of they put "diamonds" on it. Haha. 

 Ms. Couture navy blue romper:

The main reason why I bought this was because I fit in a size S. Woohoo!

It took about two rounds in SM, one round in Building A, and a limping, high-heeled R,  before I decided that the romper was worth buying. for 1,200 bucks I still don't have any regrets. Mainly because I haven't used it. We'll see.

Parisian Flora Wedges: 

This is the girliest pair of shoes that I own. Seriously.

Initially, I was aiming for navy blue shoes but I couldn't find any that I liked so good thing we saw these because they were really cute. Buying this would mean exceeding the 2000 peso budget but oh well. I could just blame it on the lipstick tomorrow.

So that's that. R and I have another adventure coming up on Saturday... Til then.

Shopping Challenge

Since our Coron trip, we've all made a vow to stop spending till we can save up for our next trip in July. (more about that soon!) But... being the "malandi" girls that we are, it would only be a matter of time before we (meaning me and "i) would be itching to spend again. And since "i" just recently got some unexpected perks from her office, she's been itching to spend it all. Me? I was just itching to spend with her. 

But! We did promise to save up so we made ourselves a challenge. Go shopping with a P2,000 peso budget, in SM Megamall! Now that may seem a little steep for some people but with the list of things we wanted to buy, I think we did pretty well. Stupid me though, I wasn't able to take pictures of what I got but here are a few pictures that'll give an idea of what I was able to buy. 

  Nude lipstick for P349 (the saleslady promised my lips would look like that after)

A vest from this store called Mental. It's kinda like this but a little weirder and in white. I loved it so much I didn't take it off anymore. It was 50% so only P800

 

Because the shoes I was wearing was killing me. And, it was on sale at P699.

I was able to get another top/dress from Mental. It's a weird looking piece. I can't describe it except that for some reason it makes me feel a little androgynous. It's so unlike me which is why I love it so. And again, on sale for P350! So if you compute everything, I maaaay have gone a little over budget. But P200 pesos over isn't bad for all these wonderful things I was able to buy!!! Overall, our challenge was a resounding success! 

Till the next payday!
