In and Out of My Bag

My friend gave me their batch fundraising bag.

In the Half Something, Half Pinoy Bloggers group, Tricia Tanhueco urged everyone to also do a What's in my bag? post.

I first heard of this concept from Baddicts! Founder Brekl Garcia, who had wanted to start a What's in my bag thread maybe in 2004.

I don't think that we--I was one of the founding members, along with Rickleng's girlfriend (now wife) Pho, Tinapay, Rory and Thea--ever pushed through with it.  Nor have I ever done a post like it.

And I was surprised at how many things my bag had in and outside it, and that was excluding my wallets, which I had moved to my office bag for tomorrow!

10% off at Watson's V-Mall today.

Hanging from a shoulder strap is my Blue Eagles hand sanitizer, my first Blue Eagles anything--don't even own a shirt--which my friend gave me only today!  The attachment is good for me, as I'm too lazy to go through my bag to look for my hand sanitizer.

She said that all Watson's items were 10% off today, but was not sure if this was just for SM Advantage cardholders.

Pashmina, Inquirer, key/USB case, Monopoly case, passbooks, checkbooks.

Anyway, with the UAAP season in full swing, she said that there were a lot of clean Protec Blue Eagles sanitizers, unlike when she got one maybe a month ago, when there was only one in stock, with a red liquid in it, which was appreciated by the Austrian guy who had gotten it.  The ones she got for us, had matching blue in it.

To think that when we went to Watson's to look for the Blue Eagles sanitizer, the saleslady was at first unaware that they had it and when we asked for other stock, she even suggested that we get another school sanitizer!

The camera, Monopoly and pashmina stay in the bag.

Anyway, my bag had my Samsung Corby, toilet paper, tissue paper, BDO passbooks and checkbooks, the Canon 310 that Amanda Green had given me, the Inquirer Music Museum page, a Citibank card letter, my Globe bills which I settled today, my Asia Insurance commission envelope, a Collezione shirt, a red pashmina from I don't know where, my Monopoly card deal game from APLD, my keys, Scan Disk flash drive, Thor-Lo socks,  Lineplus highlighter which I've never used since ADT paid for it last month at Fully Booked, my face towel, the Fit Right OR for the Meg pants I had altered (for ejection, the OR not the pants), Elizabeth Arden foundation stick from CGL and which I should throw away because it's used up, Victoria's Secret hand sanitizer from Ms. Vegas and the Caltex promo flyer and card slip so my friend can text her raffle entry since I used her card to get gas.

The unexpurgated view includes a Chowking napkin.

Some stuff were in the Bags in the City pouch and the Pabder shoe bag.

Since my wallets were in my Lapdance business bag which DT had gotten for me, I got to thinking of taking photos of the contents of my laptop bag, but realized that blogging about it would be another major production.  So maybe in another eight years.

Rock Star Look

I'm going to a rock star-themed Christmas party/meeting.

I already have a black jacket, black tee, black bag, black stockings with orange embroidered trimming, glittery bangle, white pearl bracelet with black ribbon, stringy metallic chain necklace.  This is what I get from having a menopause baby for a sister young enough to be my daughter.

My sister said to wear denims, but since I want to show off the stockings, I decided that I needed a denim skirt or shorts.  She was a little shocked that I would go buy something just for a party, but then, I can still wear it again, anyway.  I bought a white dress for a Globe event, and I got to use it for an Appetite affair.

My Fb status asked two people to suggest where I can get denim shorts or skirt, Topshop?: my batch mate Amy who wore denim shorts at our homecoming, and my Fashion Guro, who had brought me to Debenhams to try on a denim skirt, which fit me but which I didn't buy because of the tummy bulge.

Their PMs below:

Amy: 'if you wanna buy denim shorts/cut-offs, just get them in Greenhills tiangge...NOT Topshop!!...it's only 350 while in the mall stores 999-1500!!!...are we talking about mini skirt??...the nice ones that I have I got from Zara or Mango.'

Hoop earrings

FG: 'Forever 21, mango, SM, Marks & SPencer, Zara, kamiseta.'

Hmm.  Two women liked Zara.

I PMed Amy: 'ty! i went to Debenhams because i remember that they had my size. meron nga. i gave up on Greenhills tiangge 2 years ago when i couldn't get my size after two hours of searching. mini or long. Zara does not fit me, loose here, tight there. got the skirt for P 1,950.'

It's not easy being green or fat.

I remember when I could easily get clothes at Greenhills tiangge.

Now the Greenhills tiangge Large P 200-300 shorts are too small for me, and I spent P 500-P 1,000 for Accel skorts in Galleria Sports Loop.

Dangling antique finish earrings

When my 80-year-old 3ima saw the earrings that my sister had lent me, she sent over hers.

Now which one do I wear?

I'll tell you who owns which earrings after you tell me your choice. :)

My sister said that I could wear boots, which will be difficult for me to find with my flat feet.  Both she and my 7-year-old niece said that I could wear rubber shoes too.

I asked her if Pabder would work.  She had never heard of Pabder.

She got back a silver bangle that I wore on my arm.

When I asked my niece if I could wear these shades, she said, 'No.  Cool shades.'

She said that I should choose between feminine (pearls) or edgy (bling) but I said that it's a costume party and I want to win.  I'm going more for the Lady Gaga, than the Jewel look hehe.

For the hair, I printed out this photo to show Linda Salon when I get a haircut.
