THINGS I LOVE, III.

October 22, 2009 at 4:49 pm | Filed under lists, things I love

It’s been a while since I last made a list of things I love (nearly a year, after checking my archives) which could mean a) I don’t love enough things or b) the truth: I’ve been a lazy blogger.

Lists don’t require much effort, though.

1. Men’s shirts, especially white ones

I recently acquired (and by that, I mean downloaded) a copy of Nina Garcia’s The One Hundred and sure enough “Man’s White Shirt” is listed as one of the pieces every stylish woman must own. “Aha”, I thought. “I have two (plus a few in other colors).”

I love how they go with practically everything in my closet (jeans, leggings, shorts, skirts, cutoffs… I believe my dresses are the only pieces I haven’t paired with a man’s shirt). The look— as Garcia describes it— sizzles; it’s slightly sexy, comfortable, and classic.

2. Leggings

“What would I do without leggings?” I constantly ask myself. Probably wear jeans, but on weekdays when it’s sweltering (which is just about everyday, in this tropical country of mine) or even on days when I just don’t want the feel of denim against my skin, boy am I ever thankful for The Versatile Pair of Black Leggings (and legs that look good in them, I guess).

3. Thursdays!

I’m following a handful of TV shows this season (which makes me feel a bit guilty because it takes up so much of my time but what can I do, I’m already hooked on the dramz): 90210, Melrose Place, Glee, Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries, and FlashFoward. Thursday night (after coming home from work) is when I download all six shows. Wanna guess which show I can’t wait ’til the weekend to watch? Clue: stars with a G and ends with Lee.

4. Cafe World

Zynga’s Cafe World is yet another Facebook app I am hooked on. It’s similar to Playfish’s Restaurant City (which I played for a bit before getting tired of it) but better because 1) you “cook” the dishes you want to serve and unlock more dishes as you level up, 2) you don’t need to feed your staff, and 3) you don’t need to keep the app/game running to gain points (though in CW, you only gain points with every dish cooked).

It’s really addicting =/

5. Reading about San Jose motorcycle accident attorney. That stuff is interesting, I tell ya!

Another list next Thursday, I hope.

THINGS I BUY BECAUSE THEY’RE FUNNY.

October 15, 2009 at 8:08 pm | Filed under ditz drivel

Found these two tonight while buying a very unhealthy cup of Nissin’s Yakisoba and a very unhealthy bag of chocolate-covered chocolate Knick-Knacks at the Mini Stop next to my office building:

Coffee with collagen! “I didn’t even know you could ingest collagen!” Liz exclaimed (I think that’s what she said, I was too busy giggling in my mind), when I showed her. Neither did I, and that probably makes me a tad ignorant (but seriously? Collagen in my coffee?!) as this isn’t anything new (google: “coffee with collagen”). It just wasn’t mainstream until now.

PS: According to Photoshop, this sachet measures 3.5×6 inches and contains a measly 8g of coffee mix. Dear San Mig Coffee, is that really necessary? How about cutting down on your plastic packaging?

I’m not a fan of papaya (the texture disgusts me and it would take a lot of squeezed lemon/calamansi juice or condensed milk to make me eat it) and the thought that there are people out there who actually like the fruit blows my mind. I was about to ignore this bottle of papaya fruit drink (seriously?!?!) when I noticed the last line: with glutathione.

Holy hell, that’s hilarious (like Tennessee injury lawyers lol).

A 355mL bottle contains 30mg of this glutathione magic.

A Short List of Things I Currently Covet

October 12, 2009 at 6:01 pm | Filed under lists

Leopard Print Tulip Dress by Bysi, currently on sale (!!!). I saw this on display on my way to work this morning and although I normally stay away from whatever’s on the mannequins, I am making an exception for this dress. It’s so matrona-ish and the right kind of flashy (like an outdoor fireplace. No, wait), I have to have it. Plus, I need some animal print in my closet!

Cadbury’s Caramel Eggs. I randomly saw a photo on my Tumblr dashboard and now I’m a bit obsessed. Chocolate + caramel = party in my tummy. Does anybody know where I can get them locally? I’ve been told Duty Free doesn’t have them.

This kitty swimsuit. I need it in my life. I need to know who and where and why it still isn’t in my possession.
