Down time

top: Kamiseta

Yesterday was not such a busy day so decided to spend it alone shopping. Most stores are on sale and I mean major drop in prices!

Got some loot. For the record, I haven't shopped clothes in a while.

My architect won't appreciate this, haha.

When we were in the first stages of design, I kept telling our architect how I really need space for all my clothes.

He told me, okay, will give you this much.

For the record, our architect knows me as lector in Church as he's also one

So, when we see each other , I'm always in my cloak

Kept telling him, that won't be enough

He says, purge!

I say, I purge everyday, and that's true, I always organize my clothes and give away those I haven't worn

Last week, he sent me a text

Let's do this scientifically, he said

So he asked for the number of clothes, bags, shoes, etc I have

He texted a day after and said

Your clothes had a deluvian effect on the design

I go, uh-oh, my hubby won't like this!

Thing is, I do wear them since I attend a lot of events

I have no clutter in my closet as everything hanging there gets air time

Back home, had lunch with my son, still on summer break

Then proceeded to my meeting

Am joining another organization

And the challenge makes me palpitate

I love it when that happens

Am nervous and excited at the same time

I just hope I can do a good job

When kids were asleep, had my home massage

One of the things I enjoy about living in Manila

All these services one enjoys

Aside from my usual wife and mom duties

and that meeting I had

it was basically time to be with myself today

I always make sure that I don't also neglect this companion of mine

Sometimes, for anyone to be able to give more to others

One needs to be able to spend time with oneself

Though I love and enjoy being with people

Nothing beats being with someone who knows you inside and out

And being alone, gives you time to know yourself too

Listening to oneself

Enjoying one's company

Knowing whatever happens

You've got yourself to depend on

Happy weekend!

Touching base

w/ Myra Pesquet

top and pants : ZARA

Location : Bonifacio Hi Street

Quickly met up with an old friend from college and a colleague from my first and only corporate job. Think I've posted already three of my friends from there, Joey( Here comes the bridesmaid), Lills (First Guest), Pat ( Hongkie in the City). Except for Lills, we all married foreigners. Hmm, what's wrong with Filipino men? Haha, just teasing.

Myra's going back to Paris so we decided to have a quick meet and greet.

I was so excited for her as Paris is one of my fave cities in the world. Also, it's one place that you can dress up and it's natural. No big deal since it's innate in them and they appreciate this.

Myra was my chaperone with my first ever date with my husband. I know, I know, those days, we still get chaperoned during the first few dates and Myra was just happy to oblige. She vaguely remembers though but I still do. Funny how everyone has selective memory.

Was good to see you, Myrs.

Hope to see you sometime soon in your chic neck of woods.

Here's to the best with your new life in that place called City of Light!
