To Buy or Not To Buy..
Claire has emailed Leslie and me about this Michael Kors loves Manila "ecobag." If there are two girl friends (in Manila) whom I can talk to about bags and would actually understand and be so supportive and passionate about it, they are Claire and Leslie. ;)
Well, I am tempted to get this bag for two reasons, first, the word Manila (I am being patriotic:)) and second, the red heart and red detail on the bag handle. Though I want to see the inside of the bag (I prefer bags with pockets) before I make my decision. Good thing, I have outgrown my "obsession" with ecobags so that's a relief. ;)
By the way, the Michael Kors loves Manila bags were out last year and were sold like pancakes(well, not really). I guess, that's the reason for the come back. You have to call first and make a reservation to get this bag.
The Joy Luck Club
Last Saturday, I watched a play, with Gillian and Eia, entitled The Joy Luck Club. Eia has read the book and Gillian has watched the movie. Gillian told us about this stage play and we agreed to watch on a Saturday. I couldn't remember when was the last time I watched a stage play so it was good thing to do something different and spend a weekend with friends and appreciate (performing) art such as this.
We had dinner at Marcianos before we watched the play. Sorry for the poor quality of photos, we couldn't quite figure out what setting to use in an ambiance like this. I badly need a photography workshop! ;)
I used Intelligent Auto for this one ;)
On Calligraphy..
In my previous blogsite, I had a post where I mentioned that I wanted to learn calligraphy. I am always fascinated with beautiful handwriting, especially cursive script. Last year, I have read a feature story about a colleague in ADB who is a calligraphy artist. Her story was so inspiring, a portion of her earnings from "calligraphy projects" helps worthy causes.
Last week, I was able to read Daphne Oseña-Paez' blog about LV Spring/Summer 2011 event held on 11 February. She attended it, the theme of the event was love and valentine's. She mentioned that there was a calligraphy artist present in the event, when I saw the picture, I recognized her, she's my colleague from ADB!
In her feature story last year, it was mentioned that some of her projects were with very exclusive clients like Cartier (Hongkong), Louis Vuitton and Citibank, Rustan's (for some brands), the British Embassy, Hotel Sofitel Philippine Plaza, Beacon International School, McDonald's and some "high society" weddings.
I didn't know what got into me but I sent my colleague an email last week, she doesn't know me and I only know her by name (and face - from the photos). She responded right away, the response was long and very encouraging, she mentioned that last year, they had a calligraphy session during lunch break, there were only 4 colleagues/students who attended, she could only accommodate a small group for a personalized approach... And she would let me know if she could schedule some calligraphy lessons this year! I was so happy that I took the courage to drop a note to her. My dream of learning calligraphy has a great chance of becoming a reality! ;)
