I Carry Lee Min Ho In My Bag

I'm the type of person who hyperventilates at the sight of smooth, beautiful paper. So when I got this organizer for free, I almost died from pure joy.

The pages are perfectly smooth, and each of them are individually designed with birthday cakes and apple trees and elephants in their undies. Your heart will melt from sheer cuteness. Perhaps I may never get to write on this as I will hate myself if I make a mistake and be forced to use the eraser.

Adorned with the handsome face of Lee Min Ho, I'm pretty sure the die-hard worshipers of Boys Over Flowers will have their mouths salivating at the top most picture of this entry. If you love the big, sweet ruffian that is Gu Jun Pyo and are into bubble-gum-girly stuff, then this is the organizer for you. Sadly, you have to purchase Php 2,000 worth of cosmetics from Etude House to avail this collector's item.

But fear not, dear Lee Min Ho fan girls, Etude House sports quality, not to mention very chic, beauty products. I am personally enjoying their Good Bye Dark Circle Eye Cream, and two bottles of very glittery nail polish. However, if you care not for beauty and want only the god-sent bundle of paper above, just purchase three of those eye creams, donate them to me, and you will finally have your very own very stylish and very cute Lee Min Ho organizer.

Thank you in advance! ^_^

(Etude House is a Korean cosmetics company. It is located at the ground floor of SM Megamall Building A, near Toy Kingdom.)

Going Cheapskate at Greenhills Shopping Center

Pearl invited me for some cheap shopping yesterday at Greenhills Shopping Center. Armed with no more than Php 2,000 I agreed to go look at some swimming wear and a few cute dresses with her. Rjay was with us too, but the poor guy was bored 95% of the time. Well, that's what you get when you go shopping with us girls. Sorry Ron! ;)

Anyway, I found three great stores there. First stop is Abiti, where Pearl found a nice ballerina dress worth only Php 950. Abiti's current collection is mostly summer dresses and laid-back beach wears. Some pieces have bohemian touches, but most of them just resemble current summer trends.

Next is Pink Manila. Located at the heart of the intertwined web of little tiangges at the first floor, who would have guessed that this store is one of the most celebrated Pinoy brands for its quality, design and very low price? In fact, purchasing Pink Manila dresses at Greenhills is apparently much cheaper than buying them at The Ramp, Tiendesitas and Crossings Department Stores where the brand can also be found. I bought one for only Php 400!

Finally, there's Cocomo. Pearl was able to get a purple two-piece with detachable golden straps and metal hooks for only Php 900. Known for its fashionable swim wears, Cocomo has already been featured in magazines like Seventeen and Cosmopolitan.

Dinner. Pepper Lunch is still way better, but Sizzling Pepper Steak is okay.
