The Prodigal “daughter” of Louis Vuitton

Anyway, I had wonderful merienda cena at the boutique, compliments of Sala (hats off to Kerwin for the fantastic pairing), and comforting afternoon tea served in the LV teacup/saucer 😀 *I was thinking, wouldn’t it be nice to take this home– you know, as a souvenir hahaha.. but tsk, I face the fear of being banned here hahaha*

Anyway, I was able to touch the latest Fall ’08 bags up close, and confirmed that they’re just not my type of bags. They just really don’t do anything for me, no matter how hard I tried *hehe I didn’t have to try too hard… you know what they say, if it ain’t calling your name, it ain’t for you*.

But then my eyes darted off to another side of the room, and I saw something that quickly became of interest to me.

The Suhali MajestueuxShe is beautiful. Yes, even in black. I have an aversion to black bags, but this really yanked my heart out of my wallet. But no, I did not walk away with this beauty. She costs Php 170,000 *if I’m not mistaken… sorry if there is a price mistake… my hearing’s already getting bad… hehe getting old :D*. Someone out there with the moolah, this is the bag you should get. It has all the advantages of the LV Batignolles (tote, large enough, not too heavy, secure enough), and it’s not monogrammed like your other bags 😀 Not only that, you get to enjoy the sheer luxury of carrying a Suhali bag (the leather is fantastic) 😉

I was actually lusting for this Damier Azur patch agenda, but I figured, I have so many unused agendas at home, why get another one. It’d be a total waste of money (woohoo Mrs.T is becoming frugal… ey, times are hard these days!!) The agenda is also available at eluxury.com for US$345, or you can always help our economy by making your purchase at Louis Vuitton Greenbelt 4.

While I felt so much better after my brief retail therapy (with nothing to show for until December by the way), I still needed “entertainment” to complete me after what I’ve been through this week. I was supposed to have a quick 6pm dindin with ChrisL but I had an errand I needed to complete for an upcoming project, so we had to chuck the plans and move it to another date. I thought I was gonna have the blues again. Then my other friend called to double check if I was going to show up for the late dinner planned for our old friend Andy who was back in town from London. So, luckily for me, a dinner meeting with my old friends (friends I grew up with) was my “entertainment” for the night *which completed me in the end* 🙂

Dinner was at Little Asia along Tomas Morato (195-B Tomas Morato- Scout Fuentabella
Quezon City. For reservations, call (+632) 373-0609). The restaurant was packed when I arrived. Thank goodness for JoS and her reservation or we wouldn’t have had a table!

I always enjoy Little Asia’s food, especially those salt and pepper squids *drool*. So this was also a gastronomic treat aside from being in good company. Charlemagne, The very generous owner of Little Asia even sent desert my way 🙂 The mango crepe was obviously THIS good for it to be shared by this many people 😉 Of course I did the cutting up of the crepe. That big plate with remaining pieces was FOR ME *muwahahaha… selfish* We were so cheap that we didn’t even want to order another mango crepe hahaha. Ok, truth was, we were already SOOO full. I felt so bloated already after our meal, then the crepe came my way. Tsk, but what the heck, there’s always tomorrow to diet. Psst, I lost 6 lbs when I got sick! *hahaha if I keep mentioning that while continuing to gain all that weight back with all the eating I’ve been doing, I’ll never hear the end of it from my critics hahaha.. Oh well, can’t resist good food!*

Creme Brulee anyone? 🙂 I’m such a freak sometimes *correction, all the time*, I had to cut this up too *hahahaha*. One of our friends ended up eating most of it coz everyone was realllly full.

Our night ended at Cafe Breton where we all had coffee and tea and a good few hours of laughter, stories about which is the best topical pain killer (body ache pain) to use *Gawd, we’re becoming old, you see.. hehe*, and when we will be planning our “trip” together (this so- called trip has not yet materialized by the way– and it’s been yearssss!!).

I’m proud to present to you, my dear friends 😉
I had a fantastic night. I got to vent (so I won’t have repressed feelings hahaha), and we all did a lot of catching up. Finally, I feel so much better again, so energized, and so full of positive thoughts.

Life has a way of surprising us all– and surprise is not always a good thing *sob*. But in times of adversity, I must be grateful that there are those friends who care. Thank you so much, dear friends. And also thanks especially to those who listened when I needed ears.

THANK YOU FOR CARING!!!

(Wow I felt like I just won an award or something… Loser of the year, perhaps? LOL)
