After stuffing ourselves with too much food last nite... We're now ready to brave the craziness of Black Friday..Well!not really since most of my shopping will be done online. Actually, I already started since last nite when I scored a new pair of boots from Nine West. I got so excited when I saw this onsale because just last week it was $100 in their store and now its more than half of it's original price, talk about a slick deal=)

Now on to the other deals that I received from my email

updating this is such a pain with to many things going on. But let me leave you with pics from our trip in Disney World Orlando last month. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish my entry re: our trip because I had so much fun and learned few things I wish I knew beforehand that maybe can help anyone planning to visit Florida.

of Earth Day I received this email from LV re: their support for The Climate Project. I thought it was such a good idea because ur not only adding another bag to ur collection ur also helping mother Earth..I showed it to Mike and he gave me the look (lol) "humihirit na nmam daw ako"

be more charming?Seriously,the look just smolders*melts* I admit I watched the Oscars last night (including the red carpet) in full anticipation of his appearance and he doesn't disappoint..

*Credit to everglow

Yes!I am, it's been months,my last post was thanksgiving and after that I'd been swamped and got so lazy to even write any updates. I would check in a couple of times and read my fellow bloggers blogs and thats it.

So, for speedddyyy update here it goes..

*Christmas was spent both with our families,Eve with my side of family and day of with his,we also made rounds with friends to give their gifts(w/c unfortunately wasn't given ahead of time)Re:gifts hhhmm,ofcourse Meeke made me really happy=)he gave the bike rack that I've wanted for sooooo long fully installed in the rdx and also an iphone, gave him on the other hand shirts, portable hard drive and paid full year auto insurance (we're usually 50/50).
I also treated myself last christmas aside from a new "sister" of the flap(I'll take a pic next time)I also got myself a collectors hard cover edition of Twilight Saga. I know I know I was late on this but mind u, I was never this eager to open a box from amazon.

January-
I got accepted at CalState Fullerton for my continued education. Start of class was late January but end up delaying my entrance for fall this year.

February-
Celebrated anniversary with Meeke,we actually didn't do anything big the day of aside from the cupcakes and to-go sushi order. I was sick and Meeke was just recovering from flu so no energy to go out. We're going to celebrate though with trip to Orlando early next month(more on this on my next post).

Vegas getaway with my hospital girl friends. It was nice to relax and unwind with no boys...

I also received a terrible news last week which I'd rather not disclose.I was really disappointed, just thinking about it now makes me cry. But I just have to keep reminding myself that it's just a setback and Lord will help me to get through this. My family and Meeke is been very supportive too.

So, there you go.

Online shopping at the comforts of our home is one thing I've enjoyed over the years. No driving to the malls,lining up at the cashiers, crowded fitting rooms. don't get me wrong I STILL like shopping the conventional way but anything that would make it faster,easier and cheaper is always ok with me.Well!with that said I will try to keep updating this site of any sale I know about or coupons I get from the email just like this 25% in everything including free shipping at
Lacoste

or the ToryBurch sale which is 40% off in almost everything with code sale40 (u'll see the deducted price right before u click submit).I just scored myself a reva pumps and Gerrit flat. So,happy=)

Been working a lot lately, doing a lot of ot since I need to replenish the funds and save some more. Our hospital been high census lately due to the firestorm that happened last week. We're far from the fire but the smoke affected our air quality, thus people with respiratory problems had asthma attacks and such. It's been getting better though, still busy but more manageable now, in time for the Thanksgiving holiday. I'm still working eve of thanksgiving then off for 3 nights.

We'll be having a small lunch Thanksgiving celebration on my side then we'll drive to Mission hills for dinner with Mike's relatives. The day after which is the "Black Friday" sale we'll just stay local. He doesn't wanna drive to Cabazon outlet so we're just gonna store hop here in southbay and maybe pass by South Coast Plaza or Rodeo drive(*insert devillish grin here*) Naaah!!!just kidding, I'd been spoiling myself way too much and all shopping I will do is for christmas gifts for loved ones.

It happened last month before we left for Hawaii. I wasn't planning to buy any bags because I know I'll do my "damage" in our trip but as I kept lurking on the purse forum. I couldn't help but fell in luv with the Mirage speedy. As I kept looking at the pics the more I liked it. It was 1 of my holy grail(s). So I scratched the itch and called the 1866LV. I knew it was a long shot since it's an LE of 2007 but no harm in trying dba? So, when I spoke to one of the SA they were able to locate 1 for me in Dallas unfortunately it was on hold for 3 days for a client then im next on the list. Shempre, I waited and after 3 days called them up and asked if it's still available and it was. I was ECSTATIC I couldn't believe I can still buy a brand new Mirage, all along I was thinking my best bet was from a reseller. So, I did the transaction thru the phone, I asked the condition and all and brand new naman daw accdg to the SA. I even asked if it's the store model coz it's the last piece in the whole collection. So, I patiently waited for the shipment when this arrived in our house...

an abused very scuffed bag. I immediately called the 1866LV and the SA in Dallas. All they told me was to bring it in the closest LV botique to assessed it. Next day I drove to South Coast Plaza and showed them the bag. They were shocked they said there's no way they'll sell that bag in that condition. When I spoke to the manager he said he need to contact the SA(off that day)1st before I can return it to verify it was the bag.HELLER!!!!now they're thinking that I switched the bag??!!I was furious there's no way I dropped that much money for a damaged bag..

I waited next day to contact the SA and he admitted that he didn't really checked the bag before shipment and that he's honoring my return daw and contacted the manager from SCP, from there they shipped the bag back to Dallas and refunded my money. I didn't even say anything to the SA as long as he refunded my money.Although, he was apologetic about it.
So, there Mirage(less) pa rin and still hoping to find 1 but in good condition.

*Here's the gorgeous Mirage Speedy*

A very late post re: our anniversary Vegas trip

We went last Aug 24-26. We left our place late afternoon since we went to church 1st. Travel time was about 5 hours since we had a pitstop at Barstow outlet to grab dinner then headed to Las Vegas.

Check in was a breeze. No waiting but as soon as were done people started arriving. Buti na lang. When we were in our room we rested for a little bit then went down to casino and gambled.We had some drinks too complementary if your gambling butwe didnt stayed that long. We were too tired so called it a night around 11.

The next day we did a lot of walking as in A LOT. We casino hopped and gambled and shopped as well. I prolly went to 4 Louis Vuitton in a span of 3 hours.hehe That's how close the proximity of each store. 1 in Saks 5th, 1 in Fashion Show mall another 1 at Wynn and 1 more in Ceasars Forum. Napapailing na lang si Mike (hehe)according to him "parepareho lang naman daw". I was trying to look for this particular limited ed. LV kasi so I kept asking. The funny thing though was so many people kept asking about my bag(was carrying my Damier neverfull) even the SA. They told me how lucky for me to have 1 since it's not yet available here.

Anyways, after so much walking we decided to rest around 4pm. It was enough time for us to prepare for dinner and the Le REve show later that nite.




*home of premiere shopping/ fountain by the Venetian/ by the Palazzo

*Architectural structure of Ceasar's Palace*

For our 3rd day we decided to relax and lounge for the day. We went for an early swim in the pool then went for our massage appointment at The spa. We had lunch at the Le Village Buffet at Paris hotel which has the best creme brulee PERIOD!! Ofcourse, they have more than creme brulee there mostly pastas and some creamy viands and they're dessert selections are to die for..hehe

After that heavy meal we decided to walk around to offset those calories. We went to the Bellagio's botanical garden and watched its dancing fountain which still gives me chills everytime I watch it galing talaga.

We were gonna go to Madame Tussaud's Wax museum at the Venetian but backed out last minute because Mike was complaining of headache. We just went to our hotel room took tylenol and he rested there for a while. Instead of going out for dinner we just had room service.


For our last day,Wednesday we just sleeped in and woke up 2 hours before checkout. Before we left Vegas though we dropped by Carnival buffet at Rio hotel for lunch. I know buffet na naman but Mike was craving for their pot roast so pinagbigyan ko na. Besides ok naman tlaga yung food as in dami selections sarap pa. Gosh! wala talagang diet diet dito.

ok!so for my loot..next time na, haba na kaya nito.
