My First Leather Purchase

Ooooh, what a mature post title. Haha!

I wasn't really set on buying a wallet because I was ok with just using a pouch. Until I realized that it's taking me a lot of time going through the pouch before I find the card, cash, coin or old receipt that I need. Talk about efficiency concerns. My eyes were really set on purchasing my first leather bag but that would be part of another post. Let's just say that this is the delaying-gratification phase.  :D

Now back to the wallet. I could just purchase something cute or fazyon but then I remembered what happened to the last one I bought. Barely a year into use (and partida not so much abuse), and it looked like this.And so I thought why not go leather with my wallet as well? I never really understood why Roy would spend a thousand pesos for a belt when I bought mine for P50 in Greenhills. Now I truly appreciate its value and if you're not so particular on the brand, the cost is even cheaper than the leatherettes and Class A's.

  
The Casualty

So here it is! It's a leather wallet from Hickok bought from the not-so-fancy Robinson's Galleria Department Store, Men's accessories section. I'm so happy about it because #1 it's leather, #2 it smells soooo good (amoy bagong sapatos all the time!), #3 it's functional and #4, it was on sale!  

All photos have no filter. Loving the brown color.

How it looks like inside
"Genuine Cowhide"
They have a lot of designs to choose from but since I'm getting pretty old and getting tired of going through so many options, nah, I was just in a hurry and working on a limited budget, I just chose from what's on sale, picked a color then narrowed down further to how well the compartments would serve me. Oh my, ako na ba talaga ito?

We'll see if this would look better as it ages. :D

Mommy Mondays: German Measles

Image
Motherhood isn't just about measles, you know. But hey, here I am with my second Mommy Mondays post talking about measles. Again. It was very challenging to supposedly be "running" a household and be sick at the same time. Our household is pretty much on auto-pilot mode so I have to thank Roy and Amymy (our yaya since October 26, 2010) for that. Back to my german measles. I think we got the virus at the FEU hospital when Momsy was confined last May 30. We pertaining to me and my ate who had it days before me. A run-through of events: May 30 - June 2: Momsy's confinement ergo, pagod, puyat and stress = mababang resistensya . June 3 - June 6 in the afternoon: Life goes on June 6 late afternoon: I started feeling the chills. My chest felt heavy and I just wanted to go home. June 7 - June 10: on and off fever, joint pains I was still able to accompany my mom for her check up last June 10 then I spoke with my sister over the phone and she told me to watch out for a

How I Lost 30 pounds: My Spartan Transformation Experience

Image
My primary reason for enrolling in the Spartan Transformation Program was business but then I realized, who am I kidding? Wouldn't it be great to bring back the "glory days" when I could wear nice-fitting clothes and have the energy of a college student? I also thought that it would be exciting to conceive again with a healthier body so the next step was to get me that package. Initial Doubts 1. We didn't have the extra money for the package. 2. Will this work for ME?? The Kristine who loves to eat sweets and refined carbs + drink Kopiko with them each time?  No one really saves up for weight loss. Aminin, we always have that thinking that somehow, we can get away with leading an unhealthy lifestyle AND somehow lose weight when the time is right. So we work hard, "reward" ourselves with what we earn on unhealthy habits then when sickness happens, we use our hard-earned money to get better, only to return to our old ways. So for me, it was mo

Mommy Mondays: Roseola aka Tigdas Hangin

Image
Here's more of a public service post. lol.  I realized that I should be sharing more mommy posts for future reference and of course to add value to fellow mommies out there. And what could be more fitting than to label it with "Mommy Mondays?" Nagpapaka-creative! For today, allow me to share my first encounter with Roseola or Tigdas Hangin . Last Wednesday, Isay had fever. As you may know, fever in itself is not an illness, it's a sign that our body is fighting some form of infection. So, Amymy (our kasambahay) thought that it's because of Isay's pagngingipin. We started to worry when the fever lasted for another 2 days na walang ubo or sipon (dito kami sanay e, hehe.) Isay was still very playful although she lost her appetite and was extra clingy. On the fourth day, wala nang lagnat then rashes started to appear on Isay's face then to her arms and back. As of press time, meron na rin sa hita. Yesterday, we took her to Medical City and she was diagn
