charmed life♥

I just want to share some of the items I got from this year's MNG sale.   Got this to match my paisley print trouser, i wore this on my K-POP Company Christmas Party!  Very comfi trouser... it also comes in beige and olive green. For the tops these are what I got! For the accessories I got this belt and a chunky toggle bracelet from Mango touch. As you can see, NO bags for me on this sale... I have splurge for a couple of bags this year...so my hands are tied for bag-shopping.. (*wink) I know there are still a lot of items... but i am too busy, i just hope there are still more amazing items left when the sale goes to up to 70% off!

Taken last year - December 25, 2011 We often spend our Christmas and New year's day  at my grandparent's home in Pasig... With the usual reunion, get together, "kainan" and exchange gifts with the family, cousins, titos, titas, aunts and uncles...I know this year will be a lot different for all of us.  In 1996 is our first Christmas without Lolo, now this year 2012 without our Lola.  But I know they are both in heaven and will be watching over us.   With all the festivities of this season... behind every smile, laughter... deep in my heart i still grieve for your passing... but I know i have to accept it and move on... Lolo Guiling and Lola Luming ... Merry Christmas! I miss and LOVE you both po!♥♥♥

This is what I am waiting for: Mango Year-end sale! Yipee!  I have been a Mango addict since they opened their store in Edsa Shangrila Mall.  I even gained a couple of friends there... (even if they were no longer connected with Mango we still get in touch). I love Mango's style:  it really suits my taste. I could not wait to visit the store after work today!  Good thing i have my RCBC Mango card, today is still exclusive for RCBC cardholders.

I am super OC when it comes to organizing and arranging my things.  I want all of them in a proper place, nicely, neatly stored.  Sometimes i do it by color, kind or brand... but that really depends. Since I love fashion jewelries or accessories... i really have tons of them at home... to make them always looking like new, and to be able to locate them right away when i need to use them... I really make it a point to store them properly.  I usually put away and keep those which are not in season.  Stack-able acrylic containers for my bracelets, chain necklaces or anything that would fit in it.  I usually stack together bracelets by kind or brand.  For the necklaces I do it by color: if it's gold or silver finish.   Bangles/cuff bracelets goes to this small plastic crate its also stack-able.   I put them inside organza pouches or zip lock bags so they will be protected from dust.  I have a plastic chopsticks container I also use it for storing my other bangles and
