Gifts Galore!

I’d like to share with you MB’s gifts. They’re not necessarily birthday gifts as he still owes me a few occasions. It’s not that he forgets or anything. It’s just that, I couldn’t decide what I want so what he does is he leaves some money for me and when I see something I like for him to give me, I just get some then show them to him when he gets home. I know it’s a kinda weird system but MB isn’t necessarily great with gifts. This works perfectly fine with me.

Jostein Gaarder is one of my favorite authors. These are the only two books that I’m missing in my collection. Well, books that have been released here anyway.

maya and the solitaire mystery, by bitsandtreats

MB bought these last Sunday at 20% off as Powerbooks was on sale.

He also got me this book from Fully Booked. I absolutely need to read faster!

Today at the bazaar, I found these pretty rings and decided that they will be added to MB’s gifts:

These earrings are also gifts:

Finally, I’d like to thank Ms. Baby, Ms. Malou and Ms. Dindin for these fab birthday gifts:

How about you? Does your guy surprise you with gifts? Do you give him a wish list? Or are you like me?

    I love love looooveee those earrings, is that the bazaar at ateneo?

    Im jealous you have time to read books, I'll try to find time.

    I think if MB is okay with that set up, then you're one lucky girl, you get to choose your own gift pa.

    Occasions like birthdays are important, dapat laging may gift, so far It's me whose been asking him.

    @Sugar: di mo na kailangan no! super galing mo na kayang mag makeup!

    @Kitten: ikaw ba naman ang magbazaar na puro purita ang customer hindi ka magkakaron ng time magbasa?

    Si MB nga ang nagsuggest nun!

    @Camgaga: thanks! i can't make MB guess otherwise I'll end up with something i don't like!

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

The Pleasure of Leaving It Behind

  I really liked this dress. Enough that I stood there looking at it for far longer than necessary, having that familiar little debate with myself. It was black. Simple. Very me. I could already imagine how I would wear it. There was only one problem. The fabric was thick. And perhaps in another climate, or another version of my life, that wouldn’t matter very much. But I live in the Philippines. We’re going through El Niño. Heat and I are already not particularly good friends, and my histamine sensitivity has made me even less willing to wear something that might leave me uncomfortable simply because it looks good. Still, I stood there. Because sometimes walking away from something we like is strangely difficult, even when we already know it isn’t right for us. We start negotiating. Maybe I’ll only wear it indoors. Maybe the fabric isn’t that thick. Maybe I’ll regret leaving it behind. Then I realized I was trying awfully hard to convince myself to buy something my body had alrea...
