Pasalubong!

Paul arrived last September 4 from an almost 2-month project assignment in Singapore. I was so happy to see him! And being the spoiler that he is, he brought me pasalubong... It was so sweet of him to have bought me stuff despite the fact that he was kinda on a tight budget (his salary was directly deposited to his PH payroll, hence, he didn't have much cash when he was in SG), plus his luggage wasn't that big. Oh, but I love everything he brought! From kiddie stuff like a humongous Piglet and Disney items (a keepsake box and a Stitch notebook set) to sporty stuff (walking shoes) to chic stuff (a lady bag) -- I love 'em all! Haha Giddy like a school girl. :)

I'm sharing here some photos of my two favorite pasalubongs. First is the Buckle Up Charles & Keith bag. I love its color, camel. Paul said he chose this over the black one because he thought the black bag looked so usual. And I agree, I saw the black version in the Charles & Keith SM North Edsa branch, and I must say, the one he got me looks better. Simple but has a touch of elegance.
 

  



It comes with a detachable shoulder strap, too.



 My second fave item is the Nike waffle racer shoes. Paul said he bought this because the waffle edition sort of has a special place in my heart. It was the first pair of Nike shoes I ever owned -- I remember, it was in 2004, I was in Bacolod City for a work assignment. I dropped by a Nike store and saw a pair of maroon rubber shoes. It was love at first sight. I fitted the pair and it was oh so comfy. It was on sale, so another plus. I loved it so much, I wore it almost everyday. Also, I didn't have much shoes then, so my waffles got worn out eventually. Anyway, enough of the reminiscing... Here is my new waffle pair, not exactly the same as my first pair, but waffles nonetheless. :)

Love the maroon and pink combination (my old pair was in maroon and mint green)

Thanks, Dy, for the pasalubong! :)
