Lucky, I'm in Love with My Best Friends...

Napa Valley, Viansa Winery-- A few years back; it's from 2006, assuming the date on the picture is correct.

Napa Valley, Viansa Winery-- May 16, 2010

The four of us have gone through so much. I find it amazing that our friendship is still going strong, but somehow, I know it will be no matter what. We can still finish each other's sentences, pile on the jokes only us four can understand, and we can still say that we are for life. God has been good to us. 

Jen is now married and both Emily and Ruchell is about to be. Time flies! But, I must admit I knew we will reach milestones like this together. I can't wait for more. There will come a time when we will tell our kids our stories in hopes to inspire them to find friendships like ours. 

Jen, Ruchell, and Emily... I ♥ you guys. 

New Addition

Decided to buy myself something nice...

All in all, this Carrera cost me $7... well... including some vintage GCs. That case got me. It's also super light. Aylavet!

The "it's about time" Rayban Wayfarers. This was a tough decision. I liked the oversized black ones as well, but ultimately decided to go for this one. It must have been that sleek case. 

Rayban's classic Aviators. I've been eyeing this one for a VERY long time. If I'm not mistaken since Sex and the City days. 

Ilagay na yang mga yan sa istante! 

Here Comes the Sun... then the Rain... then Sun Again... it's Alright...

ROQCHAMPLE out in the city...

It all started with a fabulous lunch at Limon.

The weather was weird; it couldn't make up its mind. But all in all, sun won.

We ended up having grand desserts at Ghiradelli Square. We all agreed, we deserved it.

The next stop was a visit to uncle MJ. I purchased my San Francisco towel and one more Maripol ring in black. And guess what! I talked to WhyB! She was *eeh* that day. The mini shopping continued to Urban Outfitters. I was engrossed on one of the photography books then eventually realized the damn thing was made for teenagers. No purchasing happened. But, mRoq and Cham bought stuff. You guys "deserve it!"

Right next door from UO was Patxi's  and guess what! It was HAPPY HOUR!!! So, the three of us ended up having a glass of pinot grigio. Had a pizza snack to pick on and Cham got her olives and we all got a nice view of our cute server. I can't wait to go back... well, assuming I will get the same table and server. He looks so much better in person...

Never a dull moment with mRoq and Cham. Truly, good times!

Glass Control

Dad was super nice for purchasing and setting this cabinet up for me.

 I'm a huge fan of sunglasses.

I want to add these to the collection:

 These are Marc Jacobs; it's one of my favorites. I have this in brown. I want it in black though. I love the black and white stripes on the side.

Carrera-- In yellow and brown.

A major splurge will be:

These are the Times We All Wish For... as Dru Hill Says...

Philippines! Who would have thought all of us would actually go! HA!



Las Vegas! Oh... classic!

Pierce as in Fierce

Yesterday, was one of those rare days; me, Wendy, Chella, and Jen were all off.

We started our day with breakfast at Brenda's (thanks, Yelp).

A little shopping followed.

And then a random thought that we acted upon...

And there's the final product!

The thought of getting the piercing came up randomly. Someone said "let's do it... today!" and that's that.  It was Jen's birthday present from me. It was supposed to be Wendy's birthday present as well, but she got hooked up since one of the workers at the place is her friend. I've always wanted to get what I got, so I'm happy about it. We missed Emily. We kept wondering what she would have gotten pierced if she was with us. We showed it to her afterwards and she labeled us "crazy." I don't blame you, girl, we are and I love it!

The M.J.L.A. (Marc Jacobs Love Affair) Accessories Edition

A certain attraction exist between me and Marc Jacobs... well, I really don't know how the latter feels, but I certainly am smitten!

I really like MJ. Before I go on, may I remind you that I am referring to Marc Jacobs not Michael Jackson. This is sometimes a huge factor as to why I don't buy some Marc Jacobs items that simply has MJ on it. I am afraid people will think I am paying tribute to the King of Pop. That's Chica down the drain...

I like how MJ is not too formal. I mean, he can be, but I love how he can be a bid edgy, fun, or funky, or just plain odd.

 I love Marc Jacobs's accessories; one of the main reasons is that they are actually affordable and quite fun.

This pirate one is definitely one of my favorites!

Isn't this the most random thing? I love it! If I'm not mistaken, I believe it's called Knockout!

I intend to collect them all. Eyeing the I Love New York next.

Yes, indeed it's a necklace!

I'm a big fan of these!

I am addicted to that spiky one. Actually, I wear it so much that it's starting to break on me. However, I do have another one "in stock" in my jewelry drawer somewhere.

I have a thing for watches...

Bracelets!

I love my MJ earrings! Again... it's Marc Jacobs! Can you imagine if someone interpreted that as Michael Jackson? Oh yeah, I love my Michael Jackson earrings and it plays "Heal the World" when you rub your ear....

Don't get me wrong people, I like Michael Jackson; I am in love with Marc Jacobs!
