To make it easy and hassle free for my mommy, all I ask for is this …

An Old Navy Gift Card you can get here

or this …

A Gap Gift Card you can get here.

I’ll do the shopping myself as to date, I can’t think of anything specific I want yet. I am pressured for time too so getting a gift card is the easiest and safest I could think of. After all, I am loving the coats these online stores have right now. Perfect for our winter getaway in HK soon. Hopefully the style I like would fit perfectly as my weight loss supplements seem to be working, finally.

Since the husband if off to Singapore and I am not with him, I can only find solace on asking him to get me my Charles and Keith fix. So for days now, I have been lurking over at Charles and Keith webiste writing down the model numbers of the pairs of shoes I fancy. I was not satisfied with the shoes they posted online so I even visited the Charles and Keith shops to look for some more pairs to add to my list.

So far, here are the ones I saw online that made it to my list.

I still need two more but first I have to check this GMAT prep my cousin has been telling me about. She said she is currently enrolled, thus she can study when she wants, where she wants. Have you heard of these live classes?

The husband is leaving us again. This time, he’ll be off to Singapore with the boys for the F1 race while he looks for video surveillance equipment on the side. He’s leaving on Friday and won’t be back until Monday. I think he’s getting used to not taking us with him everywhere anymore, haha. Not that I am complaining, its just that for this month alone, this is the second time he’s leaving without us. Well, the first was a business trip so that ain’t counted, right? Oh well, not much I can do. Besides he needs time to bond with the boys and even if he did offer us to go with him, I passed. I was told that with the F1 race, Singapore will be overly crowded in those four days.

Here it goes, to those interested and specifically asked for pictures, the large YSL Croc Embossed Muse Bag when worn – on the shoulder and hand-held. I was in a hurry to drive the kids to a kiddie party on the other side of the planet (read : MALAYO!) though so I put on the first thing I grabbed from my closet. So pardon my attire and the background (again!).

SLEX sucks big time these days because of the skyway construction but as other Sundays, traffic wasn’t as heavy that day that I even managed to drop by the Home Depot for our kitchen sinks replacements.

On to the party, the kids enjoyed it and both behaved so well. My little boy didn ‘t even cry at all to think that we stayed past his bed time already.  He’s really an angel. My little princess, on the other hand, joined every game there was during the party. She took most of the prizes home too!  Such an active not so shy little girl, haha! She really does love parties. Too bad her next would be on her 7th already unless she can sweet talk the daddy once again. We’ll see about that.

Husband’s back from Barcelona, finally! We were at the airport early last Saturday to pick him up (brought the kids with me!) and gladly his flight arrived early so we did not have to wait for long. The kids miss him so much and so did I, of course. Although the trip was because of some business matters, he was able to go around Barcelona for a day and he said that he felt sad exploring the wonderful place alone, without us. Oh well, some sacrifice we have to make because the kids are still too young for Europe! I hope soon, when they get a BIT older.

Anyway, his business trip went well I can tell. He was in real good mood and even brought home some auto accessories for his toy. Glad glad glad. I hope he’s still be in good mood though once I start to pay the supplier for my son’s 1st birthday party! Haha. Wish me luck!

Speaking of parties, just two months to go and my son turns 1! Isn’t that quick?!?!?! It seems only yesterday when I gave birth and blogging about it. And now he’s 1! Gooooosh!!!This so teaches me to cherish every moment with my kids more as they grow really fast.  Whew!

I’ve been wanting to own a YSL muse for some time now but it always get sidetracked. This time though, I must say that it was meant to be – getting the muse I mean, after the two days of thinking and rethinking.

Initially, I wanted the plain buffalo or patent leather in blue but when I saw this bag (photo below) over at Neiman Marcus, I instantly fell in love with it. I have yet to see it in IRL so I was hesitating at first on getting it and was leaning on scoring another Balenciaga piece instead. But I decided to go ahead, splurge and seal the deal before the husband leaves for Barcelona.

So now, after much thought, I am a proud owner of a Croc-Embossed Degrade Muse in Large.

Needless to say, I am all smiles now thanks to the husband.  No need for any anti aging face cream, haha. I promise to get another Balenciaga though on my next bag purchase. When? I have no idea, haha.

from hot hot hot Hong Kong!  Well, I asked for no rain and it was granted.  I should be happy, eh?  But the heat was just too much for me to bear. My little girl didn’t mind though and enjoyed Disneyland to the fullest!  Grabe, she’s all grown up na talaga. And a very good traveler at that.  We can literally take her anywhere already.  She’d eat by herself, pee and take a bath all on her own too! As for my little boy, he was such an angel also. Never mind that his two bottom teeth decided to come out while we were there, haha! Put him on the stroller and push him around, he’s all good. Ang bait. We made him stay at the hotel room though and didn’t take him inside Disneyland anymore as it was HOT. He only made it to the entrance for picture taking purposes. LOL!

All in all, this trip was stress free. Now I’m certain too that Jon and I can handle traveling with two kids in tow.  Sisiw! And I thought I’d come home regretting thatwe even took the trip, hindi pala.

Anyway, will post the pics in a while at facebook and flickr. I just have to forward the life insurance rates I have to a friend first as she has been calling me non stop while I was in HK for them. Later!
