Magic Milk

My daughter and I are currently addicted to Golden Spoon frozen yogurt. I think of it as my calcium source :)  She loves Belgian chocolate with cookie dough topping.  I prefer strawberry and chocolate mint.  Gosh, just blogging about it makes me crave for a cup.

Delightful!!!!

I'm so excited for this . . .


Welcome the newest offering from Louis Vuitton - the Monogram Delightful.  It's slated to be released in June 2010 but a friend of mine who came from Guam was able to get one already.  Apparently, the LV Guam store almost always gets the newest stocks ahead of time.  I am sooooo jealous.  It's so beautiful - a combination of Artsy and Neverfull. Its extra supple hobo shape makes it a joy to carry as it molds to your body.  And the price is really great - $760 for the PM (which is almost as big as a Neverfull MM), $855 for the MM and $1100 for the GM.  The PM and MM versions do not have the zippered pockets in front thus, the affordable price. 

This is sure to be a popular choice when it comes out.  I bet there will be qeues for orders just like when the Neverfull first entered the market.  Hmmmm . . I think I should line up already hehehe

The Kane Chronicles

After reading the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan, this author gained a fan in me.  I am now excited to read his newly released book - The Red Pyramid under the Kane Chronicles series.


While the Percy Jackson series revolved aound Greek mythology, the Kane Chronicles tackle Egyptian mythology. I've always been fascinated with mythology, be it Greek, Roman, Norse or Egyptian. I am more familiar with the first three thus, Egyptian mythology would be a new avenue for me. Unfortunately, I may have to wait a little longer before I get hold of this book as it is sold out in all boookstores here.  It only came out in Fully Booked last week but all copies were sold out in a few days.

A unique birthday party

A godson of mine, Zee Lota celebrated his first birthday in a most unique fashion. Instead of the traditional birthday parties usually given to toddlers, his mom decided to hold a sort of concert party for the little tot. As he is showing a huge interest in music, the party was held in Teatrino Greenhills - a very unlikely venue for a first birthday :) The theme is a mixture of Barney musical and GLEE!!


mini Glee concert by mommy Aileen, tito's and tita's






There were of course the usual mini playground for kids, clowns, jugglers and musicians.  There was also a mini Glee themed concert done by Zee's mom, friends and sister.  Both adults and kids truly had fun.  The party lasted until 9PM with a rockeoke being the finale. T'was truly a different and unique experience.

I'm an uptown girl

Being an undeniable shopaholic and baghag, I couldn't resist this piece of Kate Spade cutie:

It's a shopper's bag perfect for a weekend of malling.  It's quite huge and has two pockets inside.  But what sold me to it (aside from a bargain price) is that it has this design on the other side:

         

Adorable right?  It's like having two bags for the price of one.  The price is a bargain at $99 at Bloomingdales but I got it from a local supplier for Php 6500 (not bad huh?).  Subway inspired symbols dot the entire thing.  The inside is as gorgeous as the outside.  Two zippered pockets adorn the two sides carrying names of various spots in Manhattan.  Such a great find for me!!
