A wedding

August is an exciting month for us since my brother in law will be marrying the love of his life and the mother of his cutie, two month old daughter, C. We are all quite excited this early. I know its about three weeks aways from now but we can not help but get excited. We've been waiting for this since last year and the couple has been busy preparing for this for the longest time now. All is set, the church, reception venue, flowers, gowns and even the Wedding Announcements are especially made for this lovely couple. I lust love weddings! I remember the time when I was planning for my own wedding and I still smile when I recall how wonderful I felt during my wedding day. With this, I wish my brother in law and his lovely bride, the best of luck on this new chapter in their lives. Cheers!

online casinos

Since I got home early yesterday, I was able to check out some USA Online Casinos. I am not really into USA Online Gambling since I believe I have no such luck when it comes to this form of gambling. I just wanted to check out the best USA Online Casino available through the web. I love playing the russian roulette and other casino games on computer but never really got into it seriously. But, if you are looking for the best casinos online, better seek the help of the professionals who can give you the best information on how to choose the best site with the best offer.

Surprised!

I went home from work early yesterday since I've been feeling dizzy and continuously vomiting after having my lunch that day. If you guys are wondering if i'm on the family way *which i hope I'll be for the longest time now*, sorry to disappoint but sadly i'm not :( I don't know what happened, I just came from a meeting and voila, I suddenly feel dizzy and had a headache. Next thing you know, i've been frequenting the C.R. na. Anyways, my BIL and MIL fetch me from work as hubby was having a meeting and indisposable at that moment. When I got home, I immediately turned on the T.V. (it's my way of resting you know) and was surprised to see that Zenni Optical was on FOX news! I can't believe that the famous Zenni Optical $ 8 Rx Eyeglasses was featured on the news. Well, it should be no surprise since this Incredible Stylish New Frames From Zenni is fast becoming a favorite among clients due to its low prices. Plus, they sell only their own manufactured frames direct to the customer, with no middlemen and virtually no advertising budget. Now, who would not want that? It's nice to know that these quality glasses are now doing good in terms of sale and marketability. This is one product I truly believe in. Go try it out for yourself.

Rainy, Sunday Afternoon

Hi everyone! Hope everybody's doing well enjoying the rest of the weekend. As for me, in as much as I want to stay home to sleep, I can't. I'm currently blogging inside a cafe while waiting for my driving lesson time which will happen in about 30 minutes from now. I must say I can drive on my own now and I only have 5 hours ( including the 2 he's today) of driving time left & 1 lecture class to go. Dapat Lang no! Considering that I enrolled in a 20-he's class! Tagal na nun!

While waiting, I got the chance upon seeing KC Concepcion! Wow she's really pretty! She was having some sort of autograph signing and many people were happy to see her including me, LOL. She's nice with the fans and I think she got charisma like her mom. Sayang lang I don't have a camera with me.

I got to go now. Its time for my driving lessons now. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Hay. . .work again tomorrow :(

Net-a-Porter on Sale

I got an email from net-a-porter.com informing me of their ongoing online sale. So, the shopaholic in me wanted to find out what's in store for sale addicts like me haha so I immediately browse through their site. But, I will just window shop peeps! Even if they're on sale, I still CANNOT afford them anyways! I'm just a poor hag, lol!

Anyways, I saw wonderful stuff from the collection and if only I have the moolah, I will definitely place my order. Here are some of the items on my *wish* shopping bag:

Bottega Venetta Intrecciato hobo bag

A signature Bottega Veneta woven leather piece in a slouchy hobo shape which will hold all you could possibly need for the day. I love the yellow butter color and the fact that it's an intrecciato, the leather would feel soft just like any other bag from this line. Priced at £1,880 Now £1,316 (do your own conversion, hehe)

Jimmy Choo Ramona patent bag This bag is from the popular Ramona line updated in a fresh white patent style for cruise. A great all day bag too and sits snugly on the shoulder. Love it! Was £1,100 Now £550

Marc Jacobs East West Patent Tote I've always loved patent bag and this one I likey likey. A stunning bag from Marc Jacobs which is ideal for a high-low day look. Was £980 Now £490

Miu Miu Washed Leather Tote Super love the pastel pink color. This bag is perfect for the lady-like, prim & proper type like me hahaha. Anyways, this washed leather Miu Miu style is a perfect size for day and a perfect hue for spring. Was £720 Now £432

Fendi Matrioska Large Tote Now this one is so neverfull/st. louis from every angle. A great everyday bag just like the two originals. Though I find it too pricey, dont you think? Was £320 Now £192

So there. These are just in my *wish* shopping bag. It will never be in my "real" shopping list at the moment but doing this online *wish* shopping really makes me feel relax after a long tiring day at work.

I'm off to a movie date with hubby and friends tonight in Greenbelt. Hay... I really love FRIDAY! TGIF!

Have a nice weekend everyone :)

Guilty...

.....of not having any update since Monday.

.....of not doing your tags on time.

.....of "abandoning" this blog for a while.

Hay.... I miss blogging but with my work load now and the on-going consolidation of the companies i'm working for and the pending transfer of office from one building to another, I don't have the luxury of time to blog. *Sigh* *Sad :(*

Hopefully, things will turn out okay in the next couple of days. My blogging schedule will return to normal *i hope, keeping my finger crossed * and I would be happy again, lol. Not that im lonely but the truth is blogging is something that gives me great pleasure *naks!*

So hope you guys will be more patient. If you don't see any update, please don't fret hehehe and do comeback for more.. thanks for all your tag. I'll do them all promise!

Hope everyone's doing well :)

Ciao!

Mood: Busy Grrrrr!

on blog marketing

In about two months from now, this blog will turn one year old! I am so excited as this blog has given me lots of opportunities, financially and socially speaking. I have met a lot of online friends through this blog, friends not only here in the Philippines, but also from around the globe.

To be able to do so, I need to have interesting topics to write about to attract more readers.
