post-bday spree

Leaving me at the condo for the afternoon with nothing to do is really not a good thing. Since I wasn't able to shop during my birthday weekend, and with the mall just a few steps away, post-birthday shopping it is (ok, that's just a lame excuse for trying to justify my little shopping spree!).

Marks and Spencer is still on sale and I was able to get a lot of good deals. I paid only around P4k for what should have originally cost me P11k! That's a whole lot of savings - how can you say no to that? So those were really very good buys.

A trip to Dorothy Perkins is also a must. This is my new favorite store for work dresses. There are very few branches of this around the Metro and I'm glad that one opened near the condo. I was able to get 2 new dresses :) They weren't on sale though but I loved it the moment I saw them and I'm pretty sure I'd regret not getting them, so there.

I wanted to get a new pair of shoes to go with my new dresses but I didn't find anything I liked so I decided to take a break from shopping (besides, I've already reached my quota!)...

I settled in one of the comfy couches of Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf with a cup of Moroccan Mint Tea Latte - yes, tea! The latte kind though. And in fairness, I liked it (though the green tea latte from Starbucks is better)! I'm still yet to find regular tea (as in just water + tea) that would suit me. Fro once made some using loose tea leaves (forgot the kind though) and I remember liking it better over the ones I've tried before - but still not enough to make me actually finish a whole cup. I'll try my luck again next time.

With a good book (I took a break from my break...I really can't just get away from Eve and Roarke!), I got myself lost again in a another world. I didn't notice that I spent more than an hour already there until my ride home arrived.

It was a pretty good afternoon and a perfect way to kick off the long weekend... :)
