Spring is definitely here and this means more sales around the corner. I happened to visit 2 of my favorite sites and saw that they are having a nice percentage sale on the racks, online and in stores…

and found these…

Jersey Dress perfect for malling

Tote perfect for the beach

and I love these ON items and wished to buy them…

something nice and decent for the gym, I only use a slouchy backpack. Yuck!

Denim Boyfriend Tshirt if I just want to be very casual without frills.

On with the In-Stores and Online Sales for Gap

My favorite and affordable items from the store…

In time for Summer

My ideal tee

and found this great deals too…

Perfect for flops or these boots and black tights for Winter

Just because it pretty and it’s denim.

The only sister of my mom is coming for a vacation and she is bringing my cousin, her eldest to come for a visit. They just came from a motor home trip and told me that it was an experience needing a good sam motorhome towing because the motor home they rented got conky on them, good thing my uncle was there together with their relatives so assistance wasn’t hard. I am tasked to plan their itinerary and all I have in their schedule is a The Spa and beauty salon trip, a day in Greenhills and in Mall of Asia but that about it and I’m sure by the time they arrive on April 6, the schedule will start to pile up and I will not have a hard time filling up their schedule. April will be very busy, I can see it since they will be here for 3 weeks!

I don’t wear skirts too often. I’m a bit boyish and casual when it comes to fashion, I love shorts way better than skirts but I love the styles of skirts that I see online nowadays. In fact I bought one from Old Navy which I can wear when we go out of town with my Aunt and my cousin who will be coming from Illinois. These are perfect for summer time…

Love the wide waistband which might hide my bulges and I love the pockets on the sides, great detail right? I think I just need cycling shorts underneath though because this is too short. From Old Navy for $24.50.

Both from Tilly’s which I think is perfect for Summer or Spring. I will just have to copy the style though since my Mom bought me a nice floral fabric, I think I will have the sewer copy these…

and this is so cute…

Very girly choices for a casual boyish gal like me huh?

In these times when I wished, I have read and learned about insurance quotes for the hair, if there’s such a thing and got my hair insured for failure of nice haircuts. Insurance if defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss and I think I lost my long hair real bad and I want it back. HUHU. I was supposed to be happy with my hairstyle if the stylist only did what I really want but he went way shorter than what I wanted and from this…

to this…

Online friends said nice words about the haircut, I love my friends, they are the nicest but I still wish that guy didn’t cut it too short!

I was supposed to be helping a colleague at work to find some useful diabetic socks for her since she needs it. She’s been a diabetic for years now and her doctor advised her to get even just a pair. These socks are supposed to help the circulation in her body and will give her comfort all day. I didn’t know there’s such a thing until I went online today, I got so distracted these past few days because my son got sick since his 3rd birthday last Wednesday and we even had to rush him to the hospital last night because he’s been throwing up several times, good thing he didn’t have to experience that dreadful IV insertion and he was just given a Plasil shot for his tummy and the shot was so bad, his arm hurt big time and we had to do cold compress the whole time or else he won;t be sleeping because of pain. I hate that nurse and we are not going back there. I hope he won’t be needing to go to ER in the future. I just hope and pray his medications will take effect soon! I have to work today and my heart is at home, worried sick for my son, I should be taking care of him and I can’t wait to go home at 5pm.

Thanks to Shey, I found this cool store which sells cool stuff that my best friend and I love to go to for some online window shopping. We actually have Anthropologie here in our country, they sell expensive stuff and I have yet to see the items in their store. Since I’m SO MUCH in love with the jersey fabric nowadays, let me share my cute finds, I think I will definitely be saving so I can have a few pieces before the year ends…

Don’t you just love the details of each top? And here is my most fave among the group…

I’m feeling Anthropologie right now! Do you?

My husband is so busy today, it’s a Monday and in contrast with my workload he has been so busy still even this afternoon. He asked me to look for nice quality cigars that his boss is asking him to look for because the boss is thinking of giving them away as souvenirs for his kumpares in his upcoming poker party. I’ve been browsing for hours and I came up with the site that I think will help him solve his problem. Now he won’t be needing to go to a shopping mall in Makati just to look for that cigar shop that his friend told him. I’m no expert in this field but I think I did I good job because when I gave him the online store, he was ecstatic and said he will show it right away to his boss. Yey! Now, I can go back to my window shopping!

Today I turn 33. I’m not ashamed of it, I always think that age is always just a number. No matter how I worry about my skin and those frequent visits at www.wrinkleserums.org because I want to take care of my face as much as I can, I’m happy I’ve grown to love myself now that I’m at this age. I love my life, I did a few things that I regret doing when I was younger but that’s youth, careless and impulsive. I also made powerful and life changing decisions that I am thankful for and at 33, I know I’m getting there, hand in hand with the only man I love all my life with the strength that my son gives me everyday, with my family who truly believes in me and a few friends but who I can proudly say are true to me. I consider myself rich, even if I don’t still have a million bucks in the bank… with my love ones surrounding me, I’m definitely a millionaire already.

Me at 33, here at The Linden Suites.

Thank you Lord for all the blessings. Life is so wonderful and thank you so much! This day I pray that You continue to bless me and my love ones the best of health, happiness and safety. That we experience life fully! That You be with each one of us every single day to guide us to become better individuals.

I pray that I continue to be a loving wife to my husband, a nurturing mother to my son, a thoughtful daughter to my parents and a caring sister to my siblings and the rest of my family. Let me be a very trustworthy friend and just be a better person to each person I meet. Thank you Lord, the praises are all for You! Amen.

I was Twittering about my acne and a friend asked me about my skin problem. She was surprised that even in my 30s I get pimples. Sadly yes I do get pimples at 32, honestly I have one on my chin. My parents’ friend who is a dermatologist actually assessed my skin and told me that my acne is due to my hormones so even if I reach 40, as long as I’m having my period, I will probably have pimples still. Yeah! Bummer right? What is hormonal acne? Click here to lear more about hormonal acne. I have twin Aunts and they still get pimples in their 40s. I guess, I got these genes from my Dad. I don’t want to dwell on this, I just want to find a solution. I have a feeling I found the right soap and all I need to find is the right skin lightener and sunscreen. Slowly but surely, I wan to think positive that I’m getting there.

I came across this photo of my old self…

I love myself during the year, 2004. I think this was the year this photo was taken. This was in Holiday Inn Golden Mile in Hong Kong. We were with my Aunt and her family who visited Philippines to attend my brother’s wedding and we flew with them in Hong Kong for a 4-day trip. I want to get back to this built, I’m around 120ish now and I was like 110ish in this photo. I love my face here as well, I have acne scars here already but the dark spots are nowhere in sight plus my freckles were all in the right places just like I used to remember back in high school. As you grow older your skin and your body get more problems, I hope mine stops at 32 and when I turn 33 tomorrow, everything will start to look better.
