forever 9

my cousins & lil sis keep me forever 9.
when there's a family get together & i'm around them, suddenly the world doesn't seem so horrible, or life as stressful.
while my little [half] sister sometimes acts as though she's 21, i sometimes think i'm trapped in a woman's body because i'm mentally aged 9.
strange isn't it.

BEWARE OF DOG


never thought i'd own a little chihuahua. growing up i was scared of them, so how on earth did i stumble upon adopting this little thing that has been such a GINORMOUS part of my life the last 2 yrs?!
and how did he become so vicious? he used to be so quiet..and now he growls & barks at anything (including dakota) that goes near any of my things: coffee, purse!, sofa, bedroom. wow my little bodyguard.
i lOve this little guy.
even though his auntie M is mean to him sometimes.

this is memphis' CHUCKY doll look. it means, "back off or else!"

once a year...


(^_^)

your bday is only once a year, so rule of thumb is: spoil yourself rotten, just once a year (in order not to feel too guilty about whichever handbag purchase).

my multicolor speedy 30 handbag by louis vuitton is still the sunshine of my day!
remember my bday splurge at Louis Vuitton, Palo Alto at Stanford back in august?! at 1st, my then new WHITE mulTicolor (mc) speedy 30 was kinda stiff, but i'm happy to report she's finally broken in. yaAY! mc speedy is more soft & flexible somehow.
too lazy to tag all my pics, so here they are anyway...


my BEST bday EVER: spoiled with LV goodies

& the sales associate treated me like a princess on my special day.
i lOve my local LV boutique!!
& with how hard i work, surely i deserve it ;P

(above: LV white mc speedy 30, LV agenda MM, LV vernis pochette wallet & kate spade planner refills!)

love how each mc speedy sold has different color combinations. i lucked out with my favorite colors - lots of pinks & purples on my white mc speedy 30, i'm s0oOo in LOVE with it ♥

where mc speedy 30 rests daily when used...


inside: rasberry alcantara lining-durable!


what she fits inside..it can get a tad heavy.



contents: agenda MM/planner; cell; hand cream; 'cosmetique/makeup case' STUFFED; sunglass case; keys; long pochette wallet; purell hand sanitizer in small front pocket



one of the reasons why the purse forum is genius is because it's a place where women all over can take their own pics & post it on forum threads so others can figure out if we really like the bag/accessory before we head to boutique to purchase!
i mean, if we're about to spend over $2k on 1 bag, of course we must make sure the bag is worth it, right?
before my bday splurge, i did massive research on tPF & gawking at other pics really helped my decision between bags i'd debated on.
different sizes of speedy's are: 25, 30, 35, 40
note size difference (top-speedy 25; bottom-speedy 30)




different canvas patterns: (top- mono canvas; bottom- damier azur)

get it before next LV price increase!!
*http://www.eluxury.com/ is the only authorized Louis Vuitton online boutique, beware of fakes! i know a few people who have obtained their "LV" MC speedy's pre-loved via ebay, but if you're going to do that, please have it authenticated in the LV authenticate this thread on the Purse Forum. there are many lovely tPF'ers on there who can help sort out which ebay *finds* are authentic. good luck!

sink or swim.


sink or swim?
i choose to swim.
others choose to sink.
what's your choice?
in a blink of an eye, life can be gone
all we can see is what really went wrong
when you choose to swim
through all the tough waves
you'd see how worthwhile it is to be saved
