First of all, allow me to exclaim that I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS! Hahaha.
The original color of the shoelaces weren't pink, but of course, I had to change them. The light blue one was too pale. BRIGHT PINK IS LOVE! I bought this last weekend after a long day of shoe hunting. I was looking for shoes that would keep my feet dry despite the rain (because it's been raining like crazy last week). I was thinking of leather chucks but God gave me something better. Hahaha! I saw this (at probably the nth Adidas store that I went to) and it was love at first sight! Colorful butterflies all around!! The texture is like nylon (not sure if it's really nylon).
I LOVE IIIIIT!
It all began with my friend Mitz who, during one of our usual gimiks, arrived with his new and oober cool Ultraman kiddie watch which, when you press a certain button, POPS out the time for you! We were all so amused, especially me, and I wanted one as well (but I wasn't an Ultraman fan, so nevermind that haha). He said he bought his at the local department store.
When I was out shopping with my other friends at SM Megamall, I decided to check out the kiddie watches section just in case they had other designs other than Ultraman. MUCH TO MY UTMOOOOST JOOOOOOY, they had a LOT but this LITTLE TWIN STARS ONE TAKES THE CAKE!!!It was the first thing my eyes landed on and I squealed so loud and long that my friends were all embarrassed to be with me (not to mention that the saleslady assisting us was laughing as well). It took me time to choose whether I wanted the white strap or the pink, or the other design with Lala kissing Kiki on the cheek (ITS SO CUTE but it was colored blue and I'm not too fond of blue). And for a while I also got distracted and thought twice if I wanted the My Melody one too (because it was SO CUTE as well and I also love My Melody!). But I ended up buying this and i ABSOLUTELY LOVE IIIIIITTTTT!!! When you press the button, the time also pops and I LOVE PRESSING IT!As a lot of people know... it doesn't take a lot to make me happy :D Hahaha. Just bring me to the kids section of the department store and I could stay there forever.And did I mention this costs only 250php ($6-ish)? Nyehehe!
Love is the movement.
I was introduced to this campaign by my good friends, Jed and Abs because they wear TWLOHA apparel and I got curious. What really caught my attention was their slogan "Love is the movement" and it got me into reading more about it.
For those living under a rock for the past year, allow me to introduce to you the RED campaign (started by Bono and Bobby Shriver), beginning with the RED Manifesto. Read on.
The Join Red campaign, I must say, is such a genius project in so many ways. It is a great marketing plan (a fact they self-proclaim) and at the same time they DO help. The manifesto says it all and bravo to them for making the manifesto honest and straight to the point.
It also helps that the simple designs are charming. I'm pretty sure GAP sales rose tremendously with their RED apparel line as almost everyone in the US has a shirt or two (exaggerating much, obviously). And I've been hoping that Apple would release a RED iPod Classic because although I adore the RED Nano (the old one, not the new square ones), the capacity just won't do it for me. Hopefully more companies would join the campaign as I'd like to feel less guilty every time I buy something nice.
Anyway, GAP is opening soon at the Shangri-La mall here in the Philippines and I sure hope they carry the RED apparel line (it would be pretty silly if they didn't). I want an INSPI(RED) tshirt... and that RED hoodie is just to die for.
If you are still confused or would like more information, visit their website Join Red. I'm not sure if it's just me, but the site usually takes a lot of time to load. Fret not for the site is worth it.
Best place to shop = Chatuchak Weekend Market. That's basically it.
I had to come back twice on the same weekend just because I felt like I didn't buy enough during the first day. Loads of robot/monster shirts and very nice graffiti style graphic designs as well. My brain was so confused. Haha. Shirts cost around 100-200 Baht at max and that's extremely cheap! If only I could go back, I would've bought like 20 more :| Haha! My brothers were grabbing shirts like crazy as well and I LOVE the designs on a lot of the boy shirts so I helped my brothers pick for the really nice ones and I ended up borrowing and wearing them also back home HAHA.
A stall there named Defy were selling unique gold plated pendants, charms, necklaces, rings and many more. It was probably my favorite shop. I wanted to buy so many and had to control myself. I bought this Paper Crane designed necklace which I absolutely adore! I have a thing for paper cranes (since I've been folding them like crazy this summer) and paper cranes remind me of very nice memories so I just couldn't resist getting this. This is now my favorite piece of jewelry.
If you're visiting Thailand and if you're a fan of tiangge style markets, your best bet is this weekend market. Be sure to bring water. Tie your hair. Wear comfy shoes and comfy clothes. If crowded places irritate you, ha, you sure are in the wrong place!
I had these necklaces made from Personage by Stazas Inc. I saw their booth at the Celadon Biz Fair last January and knew that I wanted to have an item or two made.
We had a few problems at first because the first item they sent was damaged but all's well since they offered to replace it for free and have my second item discounted, which explains why I have two items! The drawings I sent were the Sakura and the Pag-Ibig na Dakila drawings because I think they're the most vintage-y looking drawings I have (not really THAT vintage but at least... hehe). I'm sure these will match well with some of my outfits! Yey! Thanks for the great service.
I want to sell products like this one but I have no contacts for the suppliers and all the shiz haha. Maybe someday I'll be able to though, and I'll open up a store having necklaces like these on the shelves. I have to think of more products and designs! Yehey!
With school almost over in a few days, expect new entries! Yey! ... not that anyone bothers to check this (except for Milka haha!) but all the same!I am so addicted to the smell of this particular nail polish remover (wait. before you freak..) because it's strawberry scented eeeeeep! I love strawberry! It smells so good! I went to the Face Shop the other day, not expecting to buy anything really, but then I saw the yellow nail polish and tried it on my un-polished nails. I loved it instantly and grabbed one, then I took the polish remover tester to take the paint off and the smell was so amazing,
I just had to get it. I used it today and just a few drops (would you believe that?) removed the black polish I had on. It works well, smells good, and it's PINK! I also love the nail polish color selection of the Face Shop. I think I'll go get some more colors in the future... plus, they're not as expensive as other good brands are. Good find! My yellow polish is perfect for summer!
I sound like an airhead in this entry... eep, sorry. But shopping recently has been a great stress reliever... hehe. This IS my "happy blog" after all.
