In search of a black bag..

...and black shoes..

Black is a basic color so most women (and even men) have black bags and black shoes. Well, I am one of the very few who do not have, if not the only one who doesn't have a black bag and a black shoes. Ok, I do have a black shoes which I bought in September 2009, I had an interview so I had to wear the typical corporate attire, of course, with a matching black shoes. That's the first and the last time I wore that "interview" shoes. Last year, when I had my spring cleaning of clothes, bags and shoes, I gave away my one and only black bag because the bag itself is heavy and I think it already served me well(meaning I am just opening an opportunity to buy a new one:)). Well, it's been months and I have not bought a black bag and it's been more than a year since I last bought and wore a black shoes. So I guess, it's about time to get these basics.

This week, I dropped by the mall twice, last Tuesday and yesterday, for this purpose. In both attempts, I failed to buy a black bag and shoes and ended up buying these bags and a wallet, yes, all brown, no black. Now, I will have to make a confession, I am not really into black when it comes to bags and shoes(that's why I can live without it)...and I am into brown(and its shades) when it comes to bags (and shoes and belts, etc. hehehe). I am also into bags with long strap, both bags have long straps.
I bought all these in Parfois (Megamall), this store opened in December 2010, the first branch opened in Glorietta in June 2010. This week, when I first discovered this store, I fell in love with it right away. I like the accessories, the bags, the wallets, etc. They also have shoes but didn't like any of the styles (yet).:)

By the way, Parfois is a Portugal brand, it means "sometimes." I hope I will be able to resist and only buy bags "sometimes." ;p

God's message for me today

Dear Ryah,

Your reality is only limited by your vision. What you hold in your hand is only limited by what you see in your mind. Your inner world will always manifest in your outer world.

Manifest,
God

P.S. Here’s a fact: Your imagination is a blueprint of what will happen in your world, Ryah.

3 THINGS

I know it's kinda late for new year's resolution though I do have a new year's resolution which I wrote in my "diary." There were 12 or 13 items, really personal resolutions that's why I didn't post it here. Just today, I realized that there were too many and I decided to condense them into three things.

Here they are, this will be my way of life, I hope this list will work best for me.

1. No negativities. I will focus on my blessings, focus on the positive.
2. No expectations. I will let God surprise me as His beautiful plan for my life unfolds.
3. Live in the now. I will choose to be happy and take things one at a time.
