art of letting go
- I might get thin and this _ _ _ could still fit
- This could be perfect in some occassion "in the future"
- Oh no! I used this dress when I met my husband
- These are my lucky _ _ _
I know how difficult to let go of our so called "possessions" but since I started joining flea markets, I realized that "letting go" is not that bad. But of course with a dollar $$$$ sign in my eyes. So from last year I have disposed all the items which I have not used for more than a year and made room in my closet for upcoming good buys plus I earned extra CASH.
Just looking at these photos makes me drool and want want want one... oh i miss my manila home!
organized & obsessed
Here are some of the O.C. dilemma I did:
- Organized the sweetener per color - pink, blue & yellow
- Created a baking box - yes all the ingredients I use for baking has its own box
- Pasta, beans, glutenous rice, sugar, flour and more has its own sealed container
- Labelled everything
My next project will be our closet, I am still thinking whether to get a new one this week and get shelves that I can classify the clothes per color or per design hmmmm I'll keep you all posted. By the way I have convinced hubby to get a new bed yey! we spent 2 hours in the bedroom section of ikea just to see and scrutinize all their bed frames and we ended up not buying one haha... i want to see the other stores like INDEX, Homes r' us, Home center or Pan emirates and see if they have some good stuff i might want. But it will definitely be finished this week, coz the painting job is ON for Friday. I'm excited to have a great time painting the house with honey...

me time
it was a well deserved pamper day for me! a very busy week and major cleaning of our home. decided to visit nail spa (dubai mall) - my favorite mini get away... i feel very at ease and at home coz their staff are soooo friendly, excellent service, facilities are top class and they make you feel like a new born after their treatments. once you step out, it's like no one can make me mad for an hour with the feeling of lightness & i'm fully calm.
my murdered nails from re-organizing and major cleaning of our home... huhuhu! but thanks to nail spa they are revived :)
had a french mani & pedi, full arms & leg wax, eyebrows & head neck massage... a total bliss! lunch with hubby at organic food & cafe - spaghetti bolognese with brown bread & stir fried tofu with brown rice. yum...

twilight
All set for Thursday:
- Purchased tickets for 26th november at 8pm in Dubai Festival City.
- An outfit to wear for the movie - peep toe flats, soft pink top, soft pink scarf, quilted flap bag and black tutu skirt.
- Dinner date with my friends, maybe some italian lovin' would be good, johnny carinos or romanos macaroni grill?!?
I also joined ahlan live's competition online for a vip premiere of twilight on wednesday... crossing my fingers i get to win and watch it twice.

borders & ballet
went to city center to check the philip stein watch hon wants me to have as xmas present :) aint he a darling :) still thinking if thats what i really wanted... but i clearly told him no bag dis xmas which he did not expect me saying, but yes i think i reached my quota for bags this year. i'll be posting my new love bag soon, still checking which wardrobe to match it.
this is me reading magazines at border * for free * since teo is around to remind me that i dont need to buy 'em.
got a recipe journal for my recipe coz lately i am kinda into cooking and baking and i want this journal to be passed on to my children and the next generation after the other.
oh and i decided FINALLY what to get teo for xmas... a new eyeglasses - still contemplating between tag heuer or a mont blanc... hmmmm! so soon his old spectacles can retire :)
presenting the flyaway/unamanagable hair of mine. ever since i chopped my long hair last year - jan 15, 2008 to be exact i wanted it shorter and shorter but this time i'll try not to get a cut for the next 6 months but to accomplish that i have to bare the flyaway hair phase :( sad but i can always blow dry it. wish me luck.
