My "one in a lifetime" found a new pal!

Personalized with my own initials...LVoe it!

Remember my post 2 years ago - my Neverfull MM who I thought will just be my "one in a lifetime bag" found a new pal - the Speedy 30 in monogram.  Yey!  In time for our 14th Year Anniversary since hubby and I started officially going out.  Thanks hubby for the splurge.

So my bag purchases will now take a backseat until 2013.  I have just recently got the Tory Burch then I have another loot from London by end-September.  So there's a point to really say "PAUSE!" (not "STOP" - I might eat my words later on hahaha!).

I got the Speedy 30 because it's the most practical "impractical" buy being a classic and big enough for me.  And not spending 17K for a freaking strap ;)  I did not get anymore the Petit Noe because hubby likes the Speedy 30 as he said he can't figure out it's "look."  But he was insistent that we get the Tivoli PM when the attendant showed it to us.  Buti na lang I still have some self-control left in me.  Droolworthy naman kasi.

Then I saw the bigger version of that in their web - the GM wow!  Then I can't get over the Goyard tote just yet.  Geez! - I didn't know it's addicting.

PAMANA: A Father's Day Post (12 June 2012)

Hubby has been veerrryy busy these few months, rendering OT for successive weekends (as in wala nang QT=quality time with the family!).  Thank God yesterday was his last OT for a weekend! So for Father's Day Celebration, we invited both our families to join us for lunch at Pamana in Tagaytay last Independence Day.  We wanted to do an ocular visit of an Ayala property in Nuvali kaya lunch in Tagaytay is not far-fetched.  Ang ganda dun I swear and the property itself is quite promising. 

 Here is a rare shot with my brother's family who met up with us.  This is the area where we were seated with the family's pictures at the background.

Here is what we ordered:

The Original Bulalo (Php535.00) - This is just ordinary, nothing spectacular but the serving was large (good enough for our group of 11adults).

Three Way Adobo (Php295.00) - The Native Adobo Spareribs is yummy, my son loves the Adobo Flakes (di siya maalat and it's really crunchy) BUT the Chicken Adobong Puti is quite forgettable.

Kare-Kare (Php395.00) - Hubby loves Kare-Kare but he said the one in Cafe Romulo is way better than this one we had in Pamana.

Binagoongang Bagnet (Php365.00) - This one is a hit!

Pinoy Fondue (Php265.00) - This is a must-try when you do dine in at Pamana! Sarap!

 This is at the upper floor of Pamana with quite a good view of Taal.  The de Claro's cousins - yup! All boys yan hahaha!

A Mother's Day Post - late at that!

I have been meaning to blog – seriously!  But either my hands are tied or we don’t have wifi at home.  But I have a lot of stories to share for those who still drop by my blog from time to time… feeling lang may nagbabasa!  It’s been that long as my last post was on Rafa’s 7^th month birthday and now, he is about to turn 9-months.  I have yet to share the photos from his 8^th month birthday celebration.  We got a cake from Cake2Go that is super recommended – sinfully sweet!  But I’m waiting for hubby to copy them to our laptop.  So for now, let me share with you my Mother’s day (slash Birthday) gift from my boylets (3 of them).

I have actually been eyeing this Michael Kors bag for the longest time which was supposed to be my birthday gift but alas, it was out of stock in Greenbelt when I first checked in February.  It was still out of stock now even in their Shangri-La Branch.  Ganda sana noh? I like it because it’s similar to my Neverful one which means it’s big enough to accommodate the “house” but not too expensive to be bringing in the office on the daily basis.  But luck was not on my side.

Then I saw this in Greenbelt last May 12 (day before Mother’s Day) but opted not to buy it yet at that time.

 I was actually eyeing the orange version.  My BIL invited us to dinner on Mother’s Day (dinner because hubby is rendering overtime on a Sunday… I know!?).  Hubby insisted that I get that one already before it goes out of stock again.  So we troop to Greenbelt before dinner and bought this style (pikit mata) however in Royal Blue.  The orange one is the last piece on the shelf and it’s a bit dirty already.  The blue one has 1 stock left so faith will have it that I get the Tory Burch’s Blue Nylon Ella Tote.

Loving it sooo far as it is huge and could carry the “house” though I have to warn you that it is heavy.  But carry lang.

I am also giddy excited come September as I have ordered another loot from my Tita who went to London to visit her daughter who works there.  I know, ako na ang spoiled!

Eto pa… I am obsessed with LV’s Speedy 30 (with the strap).  But I MUST stop myself as we still have a 1^st birthday party to throw late this year and I promised a HK trip for Enzo on his 7^th birthday so I must start saving as I am hoping for a 5-days/4-nights trip to make sulit.  Then probably on our trip to HK, I can get myself that Goyard tote I am also salivating right now.  I know?! Puros kaartehan.

Note to SELF: Must S-A-V-E!
