Quiet Happiness at Kinokuniya

Fully Booked x Kinokuniya is my happy place.

Well, one of my happy places, that is.

How can it not? Just look at that fun Mario multicolored pen!

I would’ve bought it in a heartbeat if it was a single color pen. Big pens just don’t suit my fingers.

And then look at these journal tabs! That is exactly my aesthetic!

And look at the corner bookmark and the pirate page holder. The corner marker reminds me of the book my son’s friends gave him. It had an origami corner bookmark, too.

Line Markers. These are great! It reminds me of those reading rulers with the window in the middle, except this one tells you the last line you read. Very exact! There’s a bookmark and then there’s a line marker. Cool.

Oh, these Japanese stickers are sending me… Now I want the cats and the piano stickers… and those onigiri!

Clips! I have recently developed an obsession with clips.

Fortunately, these clips are too juvenile for me so I passed.

Oh, but those food stickers.. I want!

I tried so hard not to buy any stickers because I still have a ton to use!

I was successful. I didn’t buy any.

I used to have a lot of fun with these as a kid.

Because of course, Japanese stationery has highlighters like this.

I love this Gloo. It’s expensive, but I love it.

And of course, I had to look at the pouches.

Japanese stationery pouches are da bomb.

Just look how much stuff you can put in there!

This is great for a student. But for me? I require more compartments! 😆

And then I saw the scissors!

I had a hard time choosing between white and teal.

The teal came home with me in the end.

And I finally bought this Hello Kitty set of pens that I’ve been circling like a vulture for the past 3 months.

I wanted these cute sticky notes, too, but yeah, I have a lot and I can actually make these.

But then again, when?

I am swamped with current orders and my two editorial platforms (this one and Lady E Eats) need some lovin’.

Maybe I’ll buy a pack next time.

Maybe.

And then look at this thing!

It’s a Twilight Cookbook!

Recipes from Forks!

I didn’t have a lot of time to look around that day, but I will come back for this.

And I’ll let you know what I find.

Soft Luxe Staycations: Binondo Series - The Great Buddha, Curated Purchases from Eng Bee Tin, and Last Thoughts About Ramada

After buying a lot of stuff on the first floor, we headed upstairs to eat a light lunch. Mom was getting hungry. My son and I just ate, but we said that we will accompany her and will just order something light.

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...
