Last Saturday, after canvassing for tv stands that we have been planning to buy to replace our 10-year-old tv stand (that husband initially owned as a single yuppie), I went to a famous parlor for make-up (I choose not to divulge the name of the parlor) for a wedding we are attending later that day.

I loved my makeup. The foundation was air-sprayed, the eye make up was great, and the lipstick chosen for me wasn’t red. It was pale pink perfect match to my gray dress. So I knew that the makeup artist will be getting a good tip from me. When I reached the counter, I was told how much I owe them. I counted the money in my wallet and it was the exact amount! So I asked them, knowing they accept Mastercard, if they also accept EPS (Express Payment System of BPI).

Me: Meron kayo EPS? (Do you have EPS?)
Receptionist: Wala po eh (No, we don’t)
Me: Pag binayad ko ‘to, di ko sila mabibigyan ng tip. (If I pay you cash, I won’t be able to give them their tip)
Receptionist: Ay, ma’am, meron po pala. (Oops, ma’am, yeah, we have EPS)

Husband and I went shopping for his polo and a neck tie. But quite expectedly while we were looking for these items, husband was distracted by other very interesting items such as new release of his fave brand of rubber shoes, personalized basketballs and even dri-fit shirts. I reminded him to focus. While choosing for his polo and neck tie, I kept getting attracted to purple combinations, probably because I will be wearing a gray dress, and sure to be having a pinkish purple shade of makeup. Hehe. Good thing though that he insisted he’d been wearing different shades of purple for the last 4 or 5 weddings we attended he wanted a different color this time, because I suddenly remembered on our way home that the wedding we were attending to have a purple motif.

I am again itching to buy lots of stuff online, BER months have started. I know anything I’d order now will arrive before or in time for Christmas. Perfect for the countless get-togethers and parties. I’m drooling over these pair of ugg boots but I only wished to buy them if we are pushing with our travel plans next year. So maybe, I’ll scratch it off my wishlist.

What I really like to buy is another play-doh set for my little girl. She had been wanting the ice cream set, but I told her to wait till Christmas. But I’m going to wait another month for her to decide. You know, kids can be fickle minded. Haha.

I think I’ve come to a decision on what to wear to the wedding we are attending to this month. Haha. You see, I’ve been bugging my female friends to decide for me. I do not intend to buy something new and yet, I have limited choices.

Anyway, I decided to wear something simple. But I’d considering to pimp my accessories. One of those chic Marc Jacobs handbags, an elegant brooch and some more bling bling, I’d be good to go. Still, I haven’t found a nice formal pair of sandals/shoes to go with my dress. Boohoo.

My brothers-in-law bought some Schlage locks for added security in our place. No, we are not changing locks, we are adding more. This is our steps in ensuring we are safe inside the house even if someone get inside the backyard. While my sisters-in-law and I need to buy new pepper sprays. Just in case.

Cars are locked when parked. Even the gates are locked in the morning and afternoon, ensuring 24/7 security. I hope we got everything covered.
