Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo (Mark 2)

My Colleagues and I went to the shopping centre during our lunch break today. I had my regular serve of fried rice with stir-fried chicken and veggies. :)

While at the shopping centre, I took advantage of the opportunity and bought the Sony 8 GB Memory Stick Pro Duo at Dick Smith.

I'm so excited to take lots and lots of shots without having to worry if I'll be running out of memory. Yipee! :)

Chinese Dumplings

A Chinese Colleague of mine, Minnie, came to work this morning with a platter full of Chinese dumplings. They were sooo yummy! Check them out.

She made these dumplings from scratch - even the wrapper! Hopefully one day I will be able to put together dumplings as yummy as these. 

Thanks Minnie! :)

Stress + Sadness = Shopaholic

I had a very stressful day at work today (I almost went home before noon), and when I'm stressed (and sad at the same time), the shopaholic in me gains more power.

I actually didn't do too bad this evening (I consulted with Hubby first as well as Becks), I only made one purchase online. Plus it gave me free postage because the item was over $99 and also gave me a free pair of thongs since my purchase was over $80. Yipee, great deal! :)

Of course, you will see the post when the goods arrive. I just looove the feeling of getting a pressie in the mail.

Excited! :D

(Becks, I ditched the bag. I felt bad coz Art kept on reminding me to spend wisely. Sad, but happy I saved a bit.)

Project in Effect

A good friend of mine, Mike, has joined a team of talented people at Project in Effect.

My Becks

In my twenty-five years of existence, friends have come and go. Some have left marks in my heart. Sadly, I have none or very little contact with them (partly my fault for always being busy with work and always feeling tired).

Nevertheless, I know things happen for a reason, so there must be some perfectly good explanations as to why my friendships turned out this way. Let us not dwell on the sad side of life as I am at a very happy state at the moment. Why?

I have a new best friend! :)

APRIL

I have known her for a few years now, since our Uni days. We were room mates back in Uni. It's funny because we have so much in common, down to the very last details. We are both God-fearing, love to eat, love to SHOP! Our love for shopping would have to be one of the ones on top, hence our "pet name" for each other,

BECKS

April derived this from Rebecca (Becky) Bloomwood of the Shopaholic series. Perfect comparison indeed! lol :P

April was my Maid of Honour at our wedding, and I'm proud and happy that she took on that role. It wouldn't fit anyone but her. She has been a big part of my life and I'm over the moon that our friendship has blossomed into something as beautiful as this.

Becks, I just want you to know that I'm always here for you, no matter where life takes us.

Love you! :*

Need for More Memory

I am starting to worry about the memory on my digicam. I currently have a 2gb memory stick - when we went to Cebu last year, we exhausted all the space.

I am strongly considering purchasing a larger memory stick, particulartly this one from Dick Smith Electronics.

It's an 8gb one, which I think will give me enough space before I have to download the pictures into my laptop. (I am mainly concerned about our trip to Boracay coz I don't want to have to bring a laptop on our trip)

Decisions, decisions. I might just have to buy this little gadget and make my 2gb memory stick a spare.

Theii Shops Again

I went to the shopping centre today, with the thought of having only two free Sundays left before I leave for the Philippines. I planned on completing my purchases (pasalubongs) if not this week then next. So I did end up buying stuff. Unfortunately (is it really?), I only ended up buying things for myself. Well, they will be used on my trip! One I can even use on a daily basis, and one other for all future travels hubby and I may have.

Here they are.

Swimwear, to cover the cossies (and my belly) while not in the water. Perfect for our upcoming trip to Boracay.

Elmo sleepwear (I love this kind of sleepwear, so comfy).

Cookie monster sleepwear.

BNT wash bag for my delicate garments, especially while traveling where wash bags are not available.

Pink tea length dress (my dress for hubby's cousin's wedding next month).

Here is my most favourite purchase of the day.

Rip Curl cosmetic bag, which I won't be using for cosmetics, but for toiletries when hubby and I travel.

Here is the view when the cosmetic bag is open. I already have some cosmetic (toiletry) bags, but they aren't waterproof. This one that I just bought is fully waterproof which I totally love.

I DID try finding a Ben 10 toy for my 2 (going on 3) godson, but only found toys which were too mature for his age. Maybe I will have better luck next week (pay a visit to Toys R Us).

Well, that's all for today from this shopaholic. :P

Carlo and Mandy's Wedding

My cousin's wedding was celebrated yesterday. It was so beautiful! I'm a little bummed that I wasn't able to make it to the wedding ceremony. Certain circumstances did not allow me to do so. Anyway, I still had a blast at the reception which was held at the Weribee Racing Club.

Check out some of my favourite photos from the reception which I took.

My second frozen strawberry and mango daiquiri.

(So easy to get addicted to, as I LOVE fruit shakes)

Amazing wedding cake made by Tita Thelma.

(Notice the cute cake topper, the bride is holding a fishing rod and has caught the pants of the groom)

The gorgeous bride, my new cousin, Mandy.

(21 February 2009)

A very happy and beautiful wedding - a relationship of 11 years has blossomed into a lifetime commitment. :)

Cardigan for All Seasons

Tomorrow is my cousin Carlo's wedding, and I have this brand new gorgeous dress to wear. Although I have one tiny problem about that dress - it's a little too revealing. With that thought in my mind, I rushed to the shopping centre during my lunch break and bought a black cardigan. I wanted a black cardigan I could wear up or down so I can get the most out of it. My colleague Minnie was with me and she persuaded me to purchase this particular cardigan from Lolitta as she said I can wear it anytime.

(Sorry for the not-so-nice photo which I took from my mobile. It's not the phone, it's me. Haha)

This cardigan won't exactly cover the "revealing" part, but at least it will steer away some of the attention. :P

He's Just Not That Into You

Just came home from from watching He's Just Not That Into You with my brothers and my cousin Faith. A Butterscotch ChocTop, massive popcorn, and gigantic sprite made the movie more enjoyable. Nibbles are a must when watching movies!

It's an alright movie, a good laugh and a tear. Haha.

My most favourite part was..

Watch out, here comes a spoiler!

My most favourite part was when Ben Affleck proposed to Jennifer Aniston. That scene was totally unexpected and super sweet! Definitely a big awwww.. lol

The movie is based on a novel which was published a few years ago (one I had read in my Uni days). A somewhat annoying book, as most of the instances you would agree that the guy is just really not into you. :c
