Loving our new T-shirts!

TopShop is on sale! Now, I dislike sales and avoid them like the plague but yesterday, I was one of the lucky few invited to the private sale and I do appreciate having the store all empty. It's much easier to navigate without having to fight with all these hysterical and rude women.

However, I didn't find a lot of nice things yesterday. So I just bought some basic tanks.

I also got this vintage-style tee. It's cool because I married a nerd and I'm a nerd myself.
Hmm. The problem with t-shirts is they kinda gather around my tummy fat. I'd ask you for diet pills that work but I really don't need to diet, ya know? I just need to lose that stubborn tummy fat! Good thing Aesthetic Science Clinic invited me to try out their Mesotherapy and Reshape treatments next week. Wish me luck!

Now, my husband has no problems with tummy fat. He's got six-pack abs rippling under his shirts. Yummy! Just as wonderful are these funky, nerd shirts we bought from Last Exit to Nowhere.

Blade Runner. Vince and I think we're replicants.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
--one of our most favorite movies.

We waited for 10 days for the order to be shipped from London. London is pretty far from Manila but even we were surprised it took just 10 days for our shirts to arrive.

These shirts are the ultimate in film nerd chic. At GBP 18 each (PHP 1,412... plus shipping!), they're pretty pricey, but hey, we totally love them and the way people don't get 'em. For example, can you guess what movie this is?It takes a real film buff to go, "Where on earth did ya find that cool shirt?!" And when we find people who get the shirts, then we know we've met a kindred spirit.

Wine Date!

Me, Nikki (OK! beauty columnist) and Nicole (Cosmo beauty editor) at the lovely lobby of The Spa High Street
Wine Night is always a pleasant time for drinking, eating and catching up with my girlfriends. But it can get fattening, that's why we do it just once every month. If we did that more often, we'd be needing some strong doses of ephedra and we wouldn't want that!
The private villas were up on the roof. Here we are led
to our villas--we got one each! Heaven!
Well, The Spa has offered Nikki, Nicole and I* a Wine Date--spa treatments involving wine! This time there will be no drinking but it will definitely be a session of soaking, scrubbing, massaging, slimming and other intoxicating treats! Ola Bailon of The Spa is just the most wonderful person for inviting us girls to enjoy this Wine Date.
Me in the tub. The bubble bath was so rich and creamy, I couldn't find my toes!
When we were done, we were all buffed till our skin was shining and we were just so soft and pretty. Love The Spa. Especially since my husband enjoyed touching my skin that evening. Yey! I'll do a thorough review of Vinotherapy and Red Wine Sparkler Scrub in my beauty blog this weekend. *Kat is in Turkey so she wasn't able to join us for Wine Date.

Papa and me


This photo from my wedding was supposed to be in the Father's Day post but, with all the photos I was putting up, I forgot to post this one.

I was admiring my bridal self in front of the mirror when Papa joined me. He looked at me appreciatively then said, "I look good!" I stuck out my tongue at him before I giggled.

It's one of my favorite photos.

P.S. If you're wondering why my blog title is in that weird color, it's because of the poll program I'm using for my Choose the Shoes post.
