cold

weather here is weird. cold and gloomy, rainy and icy. makes me feel tired and depress. although the house starting to feel like home, feels warmer but we are still waiting for blinds and drapes to be installed. i was able to open up few more boxes from the garage and put up the x-mas decors from what i had from texas. arend loves to look at the lights from my fake tree (i thought about getting a real one) and the x-mas village that her lola gave him before. it's nice, inspite of the weather, makes me feel a bit cheery.

thanksgiving dinner-pinoy style

thanksgiving day. i am very thankful for a lot of things. most importantly is that my mom gets to spend this day with us. and thankful that we have food on our table...

bake turkey, macaroni salad (good sub for potato salad), roast beef wih mushroom sauce, fried turkey (ofcourse just having bake is not enough! ), stuffing (extender) ,green bean caserole, brocolli with rice and cheese,ham (pinoy style, soaked in pineapple juice!), palabok (don't ask why) ,mash potatoes (made from scratch) and sweet potatoes. not shown are fruit salad, pecan pie, bilo-bilo (i don't know another name for that!)

just looking at the food makes me wanna take a nap already!

louis...oh louis!

i have been in love with this bag ever since frank...my fave associate from lv showed me pictures of this before i left texas. he said coming out in september...and so i asked the lv associate (filipina pa man din!) from lv shop in vegas when we were there if it's available.... a damier azur collection. she said, we don't have one coming out and we have list of up-coming collections for fall and winter. where have you seen it? (she said while browsing at their list!) parang irita pa sya! anyway, i looked so raggedy and tired that day after all that walking on the strip, my hair all messed up with the wind. i was wearing a freaking ugly flats (but comfortable). i said never mind, but i felt pahiya!

we travelled friday night an hour and a half to get to a louis store. this city we live in is so conservative i tell you. anyways, i got my azur in a speedy 25. the seleya mm which is my first choice is as big as my cabas piano and not a long handle to carry on my shoulder. it's nice to be carrying it on the arm. the speedy 30 i have already in the monogram. also got a pocket organizer in damier ebony.

trick or treat...smell my feet...
