no...it's not summer here in the Philippines but it seems like it was. i think it was 36 degrees and it was noon and harry and i were shopping around for a bed. the best place to get good quality furniture here in Cebu is 20 minutes away from the city so imagine how excruciating it was having to drive under the heat for 20 minutes. i needed a laid back outfit and with a pair of khaki shorts, a denim top, a hat and beaded sandals, i felt laid back and like i was out hunting in the safari --- just like what furniture hunting is.

now talking about furniture hunting, choosing the right bed is very challenging. actually, everything harry and i are doing right now is challenging because we're at this phase where we have to decide together because we're building this life together. with bed shopping, we have to consider the price, the size, the head board design (yes! harry wants something with a cushion...i want the classic wood one), the height, the material...etc. i can just imagine how much challenging it will be when we're actually married. oh my...LOL.

be kind, rewind two | thank you, shoe heaven!

planning a wedding and trying to achieve that perfect, magical one can dampen one's shopping spirits. since the proposal, harry and i have agreed to save, save, save every extra money we have. believe it or  not, the last time we watched a movie on the cinema was July. all this time, we've been spending weekends at home, just watching dvd's and pigging out. finishing the big bang theory from the season 1 -  4 didn't hurt though and i was mighty glad Sheldon, Penny and Leonard were there to accompany us. 

so as i am not able to buy more clothes or a new pair of shoes, i have decided to continue the 'be kind, rewind...' posts and make it a series. the first one was this one. and for this post: the giraffe-printed shirt i wore on May 2010 and the black pleated trousers i first wore on March 2011. 

on other news, i guess the heavens heard my deep want to get a new pair of shoes because i just got a new pair that's not just gorgeous but super comfortable. Mickey of Wantedshoes.com reached out to me on July and asked for a pair that i wanted from their website which they'll send for free. i never thought it would arrive until i got this pair in the mail:

thank you, Wanted for the new pair of shoes! ♥ ♥ ♥ 

outfit post of the lovelies will be up, soon...
