I usually go to Greenhills when I want electronics and gadgets for cheap but rarely when I want to look for clothes and fashionable things. This time, however, it was the main reason why I decided to go to someplace that’s quite out of the way for me.

I made a trip to Greenhills to visit Elan (read about it here) and I got these super cute cloth-covered bangles. They’re very affordable at P240 for 3 pieces.

I also got this leatherette rose ring (P325) and ribbon ring (P350).

And to complete the accessories package, I got myself this Korean ribbon and pearls necklace for P395.

This origami crane necklace, I got for my sister because I love her and I think she mentioned that she wanted this when I showed her Elan’s FB page. This was the last one too, so I felt like I really had to get it. (P695)

Since I was in the Greenhills area anyway, I also decided to go around and look for clothes. Most of the stalls there were selling fashion items from Bangkok and I found 2 tops and a dress that I really liked from this stall called Apartment 8.

We eventually got them to give us all three items for P1,000 (P150 less than it should have been).

I usually regret going to Greenhills because I always end up with nothing except sore feet and bad memories of being hit left and right by other buyers. That, or squished like a sardine. So this trip was definitely good. I can’t wait till my next visit. Now, I know where exactly to go to find the things that I want.

If you’ve been following this blog for a while now, you’re likely to know that I have this inexplicable notebook addiction. No, I don’t write on them. No, I don’t take them out of their plastic wrapping if possible. Yes, they are super cute or just plain beautiful.

The last time I got a notebook for myself was 6 months ago. It’s not so much because I haven’t found ones that I wanted but more because I’ve been trying to wean myself away from buying things that I don’t even use, except it’s so hard to go cold turkey.

This past week, I gave in to the urge when this little beauty called out to me from the shelves of Fully Booked. Click the link below for more photos of the wonderful notebook.

I don’t like rodents so I’m not so sure what this is but the boyfriend said it’s a guinea pig. EDIT: Oh boyfriend, you fail me. I said it was a hamster but you said it was a guinea pig and I believed you! We were on our way out of a mall in Makati when we passed this pet store. They had all sorts of animals and when I caught sight of this cutie, I just had to stop. He (or she) was very hard to take a picture of because he ran around a lot, and super fast.

Finally, he got tired and settled in front of me, lay down on his back and did this pose. It took me a few seconds to realize that he fell asleep. Haha so adorable!

Again, I’m not a fan of rodents but you, not Mr. G. Pig, are the only exception.

Thanks for clearing that up guys. ^_^
