Christmas Wishlist 2012

Since everyone is making one, gaya-gaya lang ang peg. I don't think I made a list last year or the year before. So I'm going to make a list this year! (*ahem* BOS *ahem*)

I'm trying to revive an old hobby of mine which is photography! And since it's not always that I can hire a photographer (Hi EJ! Hi Ginger!) to do my product shots, I think I need (emphasize on the NEED) to get a nice camera for Paper Chic Studio and so I can take nice photos of my kids too! Hit two birds with one stone diba?

I want a new phone too! My iPhone 3GS will be 3 years old this month, although it's still working well (sans the speakers hehe), I need an upgrade! This might happen I think. With the new iPhone 5 coming out and the good and attractive Unli Data Plans by the two networks, I'm really excited to get one! Sana soon!

An iPad Mini would be a nice addition to my growing Apple gadgets (naks!)

Of course, my list wouldn't be complete without shoes and bags! I'm still a girl you know! I'm looking for a small to medium sized body bag that I can use for when running errands. I noticed I have big bags and big bags tend to get heavy! I need something that can fit my wallet, phone and keys. I wish I can buy a signature bag but maybe not right now. Pag mayaman na ako! CHOZ.

What's on your list this year?

Dreaming of Cath Kidston

My trip is still a month away and here I am looking at things I want to buy! Baka naman by the time of my trip wala naman pala akong pera! LOL!

Just this week, I saw on Instagram that Cath Kidston opened a store in HK! I DIE! Then I remember I need to replace my old wallet! By old I mean I've been using my wallet since 4th year high school! So that's about 10 years na? Wow ang tagal na pala!
I checked Cath Kidston online and I'm drooling! Online window shopping muna!

Spot Folded Zip Wallet £26.00

Royal Rose Zip Wallet £26.00

If you convert it to PHP, it's around 1,700! Not bad right? I hope it's around the same price in HK.

For maarte mommies like me..

Antique Rose Changing Bag £65.00 (approx. PHP4,300)

Victoria Rose Plimsolls £24.00 (approx. PHP1,600)

They also have cute stuff for kids! Tea sets, aprons which I want to buy! It's so much fun to have a girl talaga!

Kensington Rose Kids Mock Lace Up Pumps £16.00 (approx. PHP1,100)

Circle Ditsy Mini Rucksack £15.00 (approx. PHP1,000)

Kids Cooking Set £12.00 (approx. PHP800) (this can go with her kitchen set!)

There are some stuff for boys but I think the prints are too girly (hehe!) so I have to look for other stuff for shoti.

So many cute bags, things for the kitchen, and beddings!!! I hope I don't get carried away when I go to the store and buy everything I want!

Just looking at their online store is making me super excited!!! Can't wait for October!

My IKEA Dream List

The kids' room is (still) under renovation and we're in the process of thinking what should be put inside the room. All I can think about are the toys I want to buy for Y and R that they both can share.

I'm going on a trip on October and I thought why not check IKEA out! So last night, I went to IKEA HK'swebsiteto check out stuff I want and its prices so I'll know more or less how much I'll be spending! (As if may pera!) Hay so many cute toys and not expensive! I want to buy them all but of course I can't!

First, I want a set of a table and 2 chairs for Y and R where they can read, color, play, etc.
