I LOVE the last two shoes by Alexander McQueen and Charlotte Olympia. They are actually almost the same in style. Both with wing like design at the back. So gorgeous!

I wish I could wear these super high heels though. But I am sure I would topple over. LOL! And I am not sure if the heels can support my weight. Hahaha! I'd have to use OxyElite Pro first before trying any of these little things. LOL!

Seriously, I am loving white shoes now. I do admit they will never be everyday shoes but they are definitely sexy!

If I have to wear heels as high as these, I'd wear white and wear it on my wedding renewal vow.

Rubber Bands, so pretty

Lookie what I found! Animal rubberbands from thisnext.com! Aren't they super cute?


My son would definitely love this.

Gone are the days when office supplies are boring. I remember I only had a simple kind of ball point pen when I was growing up. Now, there are probably thousands of different types, shapes and kinds of pen in the market. It's overwhelming.

It's good to have colorful and pretty choices. But at the end of the day, it's the one that works matter.

Still, I can't say not to cuties. LOL! I will check if this rubber bands are available here.

What fun!

When I was growing up, Easter Egg Hunting was not part of the Lenten Season for us. I never knew about it until I moved to the city.

Lenten week for us meant going to the church, fasting and just being quiet. It was time to reflect. Yup, even as kids.

Last Sunday, we went to Raffles Hotel Le Royal to have an Easter Sunday Brunch. We particularly chose that hotel because they had an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids. We were there last year. We joined the egg hunt too and it was so much fun, we wanted to join again this year.

Last year, we did not win any prize. But last Sunday was different. We were ready for the egg hunt. And we won first prize!!!

I meant, my son won first prize. LOL!

I really had a great time with the egg hunting. They say, you'll never miss something which does not exist before. But they're wrong. I missed not having egg hunting when I was growing up. LOL!

I saw in my son's eyes how excited and happy he was when he won first prize. This is what he got, a big white chocolate egg!

Other kids, even though they did not win, also received kids personalized easter baskets from the hotel.

It was a fun afternoon. Kids and adults alike had a great time.

I hope to be able to join this activity again next year.

Saturday 9: Sex as a Weapon


Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Shopping for Sunglasses

I am shopping for a new sunglasses. I want dark and oversized ones. The kind that covers my big face.

After my son broke two of my sunglasses, I never bought designer sunglasses anymore. It's not worth it.

From then on, I just buy generic ones worth $3-10. LOL!

My son is now almost 5yo. He knows and understand he cannot play with my things anymore. So I thought, it's time I buy something nice again. It's almost Mother's day anyway. A gift for myself. Hahahaha!!!

I checked neimanmarcus.com for choices. Here are my tops picks. I can only afford one so I am having a hard time choosing what to buy.

Tory Burch $165

Prada $290

Diane von Furstenberg $165

Jee Vice $185

Dior $325

Tory Burch $175

Which one do you like best?
