the purse reveal ... my muse!

The baghag is back! After being away for weeks, I am back with a vengence!! Oh, vengence is such a harsh word but more of I am back with my shopping vengence! LOL

Yes, after depriving myself for a purse-reward since early this year, now I am back ... back in getting myself a birthday pressy! And after price research, budget calculations and careful considerations, and my Hongkong trip last May, finally settled on getting my gift at the most luxurious haven on earth ... Marina Bay Shoppes in Singapore! Woohoohoo!! A real birthday treat!

And the big reveal ... THE YSL MUSE. Nothing else. In fact, choosing the right purse was easy. As I was dead-set on getting this for more than one year already. What is tough, choosing the right color. A toss between ebony and ivory color. Both so lovely and equally beautiful IRL.

Naturally, I can't have both purse or the husband will kill me! (LOL) So I settled with the safest color ever for office use ... YSL Muse Large in black with gold hardware. What else?! Initially, was determined to pick the ivory color, but chickened out. Too risky! But, if ever I'll have extra moolah (praying hard), will still get the ivory color. Why? Too fab to resist. And since I don't have moolah, for the meantime, allow me to share my joy this year ... my YSL Muse. real black leather beauty! Happiness :)

on insurance review mode

It's the time of the month again, wherein I need to review our insurance premium. The husband would often pass this task to me as he knows I am very critical in choosing our retirement plan. With thousands of online insurance facilities available on the web, he knows I am getting good deal comparing and reviewing wholesale insurance plan. Lately, the husband is keen on getting single premium immediate annuities to fund our retirement plans. Though we are not yet in our retirement age, I guess he's keen on getting this option for his parents, both almost at their retirement age. I am not sure if possible to purchase an immediate annuity to secure their retirement benefits (or income) , but I am hoping some insurance company open to this option to fund retirement plans. Any reco?

weight loss

As I've blogged on my earlier post, with too much stress and late nights at work I am not surprised that I've lost weight recently. A good ten pounds weight loss for the past three months. My friends are wondering if I am into
adapexin weight loss pill. Some even wonder if I still continue taking the L-Carnitine medication which speeds up my metabolism rate. Too their dismay, I would always answer my weight loss attributed to work. Work and more work! Sleepless nights and unending worries on how to meet my sales quota for the year. Wish I am losing weight voluntarily, but unconsciously, I am heading to thin-ville with too much stress-related activities in the workplace. Is this good or bad? For now, I don't know. Hoping it is for the best.

what's up?

It's been a while since I've updated my blog. I've been very busy and stressed lately at work and I miss blogging so much. I used to have enough time to update my blog about my family, the kids, my work, my wishlists for the month and almost anything under the sun. But lately, I am just overwhelmed with too much work. Not sure if this is good (or bad) but I am consumed so much with new tasks in the office. And with the new work role, comes new responsibilities, new responsibilities, new deliverables. Deliverables in the tune of P55M on NET revenue, less of all outpayments. Tsk..tsk.. difficult! And with this new challenge, I am not hitting my monthly quota at all since first quarter 2011. Very bad, indeed. Not sure if I'll ever make it this 2011. Still hoping ... and I am crossing my fingers this time :(

barbecue party

I love to own my own fire pit. I saw this unique and stunningly designed fire pit with granite table top online and I now dream of owning one too. This will be a perfect and classy addition for my barbecue parties with friends. It uses an Oriflamme burner with 22” in diameter and sits inside a full granite top. The steel frame of the table has a high quality powder-coated finish which compliment the sophisticated style of the granite top. It includes all Urban fire glass, propane tank, and an oriflamme steel lid with high to low control knob that allows users to turn down the heat and simply enjoy the ambiance that the Oriflamme Table. And, as we love to host Sunday brunches and barbecue parties, this will be useful and nice conversation piece for our parties, don't you think so? =)

school talk

The moms at twitter are getting ready for school. Yes, as next week will be start of classes for our kids. It's as if we all started planning for our summer activity for us kids, and with just few winks ... it's back to school again for everyone! And this only means one thing, the busy blogger moms back to being stage-moms for kid's activities, busy cook to prepare kids' meals, late-night tutoring and more budget-planning. And with all these never-ending school expenses, I hope I can tweak our budget for a birthday gift for myself from scott kay online jewelry store. And if this is not possible, probably I can just ask a small Tiffany pendant from the husband. Why not? I think I truly deserve it ... Hahaha!

bag post ..chloe!

I am not a Chloe purse fan, but my friend suggested that this purse indeed deserves a second look. My initial reaction, leather too thick and heavy. The design, well ...nice, but not that stunningly nice like my first love for LV epi leather. And as I search more about Chloe bag, I really think it really deserves a second look. And the two must-have Chloe bag ...

Chloe Paraty

simple design with less hardware. leather soft and slouchy but the shape is structured, In fact, the paraty is not too heavy like the paddington bag. Bag selling price at $1995

Chloe Marcie :

large, camel color ... simple yet beautiful, lines sleek and clean but very feminine. Selling at $1790 at Net-a-Porter
