THINGS I LOVE, PART II.

December 11, 2008 at 6:58 pm | Filed under lists, the helga manual, things I love

The city at Christmas. I love the decorations, especially the twinkling lights. Nights are getting colder, too, and I love setting an Urban Wonderland mood by listening to Christmas songs as I walk from my office to the train station during the trip home at night. Kinda dorky, I know.

ORTIGAS PARK SOME NIGHTS AGO.

The fact that I’m done shopping for the lover’s Christmas gifts. I had such a stressful, stressful time shopping and I didn’t even get up from my desk! First, I found these two tees at Threadless that were perfect but I couldn’t use my card and have the stuff shipped to him. Then there was this David and Goliath tee saying “I Don’t Do Long Distance Relationships” that was just too funny, but I couldn’t use my card again. There were tees at Design By Humans and Topman but his size was out of stock. I was seriously considering going down the DIY path and creating a racy calendar for him (featuring me, of course) until I decided to give Amazon one last try. And woot! He’s gonna love the stuff I got him.

I’m crossing my fingers nothing stupid happens and my order gets canceled (the way F21 canceled Phoebe’s order because they had problems verifying her card). Hee, I’ll be demanding he turns on his web cam so I could watch while he opens the packages.

Cuddling. And Christmas cuddling. Too bad I have no one to cuddle with, at the moment :(

Ukay-ukay! Or thrifting, lol. Lauren (she started a new blog, ukaymanila.com), Anne, and I are going on Saturday to this ukay place in my neighborhood and I’m hoping I can find some really cute stuff. I don’t even know what I want, I just want to buy something! Maybe some air o swiss humidifiers huhlolz.

THINGS I LOVE, PART I.

I got this from Katy who got it from someone else. I figure this could be a weekly thing, blog fodder of some sort (I used to have Friday Five for that…which doesn’t even have its own category).

Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf’s African Sunrise Tea Latte. The downside to it is that it’s not caffeinated. The upside is…it tastes absolutely divine. I prefer mine warm so I can start guzzling it down as soon as the CBTL barista hands it to me.

Condensed milk. It’s so good, yet so bad for you. I use it to sweeten my coffee (a replacement of organic muscovado which is starting to taste a bit bleh for me now), with bread (when my brother is complaining that I’m eating all his Crumpy), and sometimes drink it on its own. I always feel nauseous after doing the latter because I never ever know when to quit. Don’t ask me if I know how much fat I’m ingesting because I refuse to read the nutrition facts.

ESL MB aka EatShopLove MB— Saha’s board. It’s fairly new (launched early this week) so don’t be turned off by the lack of themes and hacks and COME LET’S JOIN US!

My co-workers’s shared music…which I discovered only yesterday, when I accidentally clicked on iBub. After four months of using this computer! I listen to music at work using my iPod so I never really bothered to tinker with my iTunes. I’m so glad I have access to their shared music because iTorres (my boss’) is a goldmine of indie pop goodness.

Salted eggs and tomatoes. Nom nom nom nom nom nom. As I type this, I have two trays of salted eggs sitting in my fridge and a handful of tomatoes, waiting to be eaten. I can’t wait to get home.

Add to the list: NV diet pills.
