Book Update

In the midst of all the chaos that is the La Salle Bazaar, preparing for my Clinique Birthday Party and the Ateneo Bazaar, I was surprised that I was able to finish 4 books!

for one more day, the style strategy, bhagavad gita, twenties girl, by bitsandtreats

For One More Day is a very touching story. I had teary eyes when I was reading this that’s why people were giving me weird looks as I was reading this at the walkway in La Salle while waiting for our ride. This book makes you appreciate life and the people in your lives (that matter) more. It reminds you to always tell the people you love, that you love them.

The Bhagavad-Gita, of course, is a classic book. There are a lot of things that are kinda hard to apply to our everyday modern lives but this book made me step back and examine my life differently. Sure, I’m not Buddha but learning to control oneself (especially in shopping, haha!) is a gift.

I’ve learned a lot in the Style Strategy. It made me look at my closet and shopping habits differently. I’ve learned a few tricks on how to shop wisely.

The Twenties Girl is a typical Sophie Kinsella novel – heroine, with a loving family, boyfriend, ex-boyfriend, etc. then gets herself into trouble then has a happy ending. Honestly, I am getting tired of the same plot. After reading a lot of her books, you already know what’s going to happen next. So I’m taking a break from Sophie and explore my other options. I bought 5 more books over the weekend and I can’t wait to read all of them!

How’s your book reading going?

    Confession:

    I cried when I reached the end of Twenties Girl when she put the necklace on. LOL

    But I don't really remember crying when I read for one more day.

    LOL

    @Ahne: Nakaka adik magbasa no? I also bought my first Nicholas Sparks book, The Wedding, during the crazy Fully Booked sale. Ang dami kasi nyang books so marami-rami tayong bubunuin.

    @Michelle: I guess it really depends on the experiences you've gone through. As I get older, I am able to relate more to a lot of the things that I read. I think Twenties Girl is more appealing to younger women whereas For One More Day is geared towards older men and women who are at the crossroads of their lives.

All About Eyes

Lately I’m finding myself obsessed with skin care products, prevention in particular. I'm not getting younger and nobody likes lines and wrinkles, right? I should have done this in my early twenties but those were hard times and we didn’t have enough to support our daily lives, let alone vanity splurges. So now, I’m on hyper mode. I did not place any expectations on this product. I’ve had it with products claiming they can do this and that. I just tried the product thinking that if it works then great, if not then I’ll just find a new one. I wasn’t expecting a dramatic change but 2 weeks into using this product, I noticed that my under eye area has become lighter. The lines are also not as deep as they were before I used this product. I stopped using the Garnier eye products because I’m allergic to them so that means I’m not using any whitening products for that area. I am truly impressed with this product. I didn’t take a before and after photo as I wasn’t expecting this at ...

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...
