Things that I used to spend money on, but don't anymore:
- CDs
- DVDs
- Sanrio stuff
Things that I used to not buy, but now I do:
- Coach purses
- MNG by Mango clothes
- Naturalizer shoes (comfort is #1)
Parang mas mura yung mga hobbies ko nung bata ako kesa ngayon na nagdadalaga na. HaHa! I spent this three-day weekend shopping, all three days of it. When the heck did I turn into a girl?!
I guess this is what happens when I can't travel as freely as I used to: naiipon yung pera pero hindi naman magamit sa gustong puntahan kaya kung ano-ano na lang ang binibili. Puwede din na wala kasing papa kaya hinahanap ang pagmamahal sa bag na lang...at mahal talaga siya. ;P

Mi Familia
Regardless of how early the concept of funerals was introduced to me and regardless of how many times I've had deaths in the two sides of my family, every single funeral seems "new" to me, never quite understanding the concept nor being comfortable witnessing all of it.
My Lola Inay was buried yesterday and the whole family came together to say, "See you later." And I know she went to a great place because it was sunny with clear blue skies the whole entire day eventhough we're in the middle of winter.
It's times like this that one can be thankful for having a family in more ways than one.

I Heart Cebu
After the former co-workers visited in December, I found out that Starbucks released two new versions of the Manila and Cebu City Mugs and also created new mugs--Baguio and Tagaytay. Lilian ended up getting me the Cebu one for Christmas and I got it today. I'm so ecstatic that I even revamped the website. Check it out!

Chillin' Like a Villain
You know what I really miss about living in the Philippines? Tambayan: the ability to spend countless hours sitting around in a public place doing absolutely nothing productive with people that you love to hang out with. Promise, in the Philippines lang yan.
Last week, my two co-workers and I decided to go to Happy Hour to avail of cheap food and possibly eye candy. After venting about work and scarfing down my plate of waffle fries and chicken quesadilla, the girls started getting uneasy and wanted to leave because they thought the waitress minded us being there without ordering any more food. Sa Pilipinas? Walang pakialamanan dahil paying customers kami.
We window-shopped a little bit and we ended the night with a waffle cone full of green tea soft-serve (I've never used this phrase since the last decade, but it was absolutely "the bomb"). At 8:30PM, S quipped, "Should we start heading home now?" Ay nako, kung sa Pilipinas 'to, hanggang madaling araw kami doon.
Although unproductive as heck, I see tambayan as quality time. When you have already talked about the usual daily whinings and you're trying to find something else to talk about, you end up talking about real stuff to fill the dead air - real stuff that are rated R at times and are not for public consumption like in a blog. ;P
