It is currently 9:52 pm and I am listening to the rapid typing of my fingers against the smooth black keys and the laid back R&B beat of Kyla's "Something About You". The aftertaste of my homemade chai tea latte still lingers on my tongue. Today's events have been few unlike the first thirty-something days of this summer vacation.
Above are nine items that I have developed quite the obsession for this season.
I am somewhat of an avid fan of OPMs (Original Philippine Music) so dropping by a cd store in the SM Mega Mall was a primary goal on my list while briefly visiting. You could say that Kyla, the R&B Princess of the Philippines, is my #2 favorite artist (Utada being #1). Heartfelt, her latest album, consists of the songs that I have been singing in the shower recently!
On my journey to Cebu City, Philippines, I had an eleven hour stop over in Hong Kong, China. So what does a mother and daughter do for eleven hours? Well, shop and eat of course! I will not deny that the outrageous price tags discouraged me greatly but the panda lover within me could not resist a couple of panda charms. The biggest splurge made in Hong Kong was a beautiful Swatch watch (the exact one pictured), courtesy of my mother as a birthday present.
The malls in the Philippines did not fall short on objects that won my heart's desires. Although I did leave America hoping for a whole new wardrobe, I actually came home with a variety of things. I purchased two pairs of shorts, a backpack, two pairs of heels, three cute dresses, jewelry, four new designer handbags (one similar to the one above), more clothes, and accessories (wallet, cell phone case, etc.).
Even prior to my month of gallivanting around the world I have noticed my fancy for scarves has grown and lately I've been building a small collection of them. My mother constantly tells me that I'm obsessed about scarves. When I'm dressing up I always find myself trying to add a scarf in there to make it different.
Thanks to many online make-up gurus I've picked up some of their advice and have purchased a tube of Urban Decay's Primer Potion to lather my oily eyelids and prevent my make up from absorbing into my skin.
Now that I'm back home and have been forced against my will to discontinue shopping, I've found other things to obsess about other than material things. I've been eating lots of green tea ice cream, sending thousands of text messages via my Samsung Glyde, and devoting immense amounts of hours to playing Bookworm (PC) due to playing it with my cousins one too many times.
