A new year and a new gadget. Yes, I received a new gadget from my hubby this year. He managed to surprise me (a feat!) with a spanking new iPhone 4 hidden inside the new fuschia laptop bag he gave me. Now all I need is a micro-SIM to use this pretty baby How was your holidays?

Celebrated New Year's at the Sofitel Manila and my quick eye spied a few local celebs during NY eve dinner and breakfast. MH and I were taking photos at the lobby and by the staircase when I spotted Korina Sanchez in a group, sitting near the buffet area. I couldn't see Mar Roxas though, but saw empty seats next to her, so maybe he was in the hotel somewhere. Korina looked really pretty that

One of the things I did during our trip to Europe a few months ago, is to purchase some Louis Vuitton bags. I got a generous allowance (Thanks, MH!) and got carried away, ending up with more than one! I got a Bloomsbury PM (London), Neverfull MM and Multicolore Insolite wallet in Noir (Paris). I lovett!

Received this thru e-mail todayDear friends, When you drive along EDSA (Guadalupe - Northbound side), you may perhaps spot a billboard that's different from many other commercial billboards in the area.

I'm not a big fan of Michael Jackson, but I do love his songs. I remember growing up to his songs, even dancing to it from grade school to college.

Well, a born-again Havaianatico, actually. I stopped buying Havaianas flipflops after I purchased the totally useless Pink Havaianas Flash back in 2006. I still have that pair and I thought I could have the straps changed at the MYOH. Unfortunately, they didn't allow that so I'm stuck with this pair forever I guess! I was lured into going to the MYOH '09 this time because I needed new pairs,
