THINGS I BOUGHT TODAY AND HOW I CAME UPON BUYING THEM

My original intention is to buy a ballpen. Things just got out of hand.

PLATITO-LIKE EARRINGS - There's this some sort of tiangge inside Sm north that sells handcrafted earrings. Most of the designs are roses and flower inspired. I was almost lured into buying this cutey butterfly earrings since butterflies are my current fancy. I am no Mariah Carey fan but i just related it to my dad's story about how a butterfly can grant and ungrant wishes. My dad says they carry your wish to God. Our insipid neighbor, who yearns to have a child, cut off a part of our tree that homes yellow butterflies without our consent. That was about 6 years ago. The neighbor found out she was barren. Anyway, i didn't buy the butterfly earrings. I bought the one that looked like a plato with the sun served on it. I just missed the beach.

VERONIKA DECIDES TO DIE - This is all because of Cha (lover of my friend Zara). She unconsciously prodded me into buying this book. It's by Paulo Coelho. Deciding to die doesn't sound morbid as it seems. Catchy title but the K of Veronika sounds like the Soviet Union to me. I have this habit with newly bought books. I leaf through the pages like in cards--- balasa and smell them. It excites me.

LEAF STORM AND OTHER STORIES by G.G. Marquez - Two books in a row. I just can't help it. It's the last copy. Some of the people in national bookstore thought that i was going to shoplift it since i was busy deciding wether or not to buy the coelho book or the garcia marquez. Yang mga punyetang guwardya na yan. I caught 2 guards staring at me from some hidden nook and ready to smite as if waiting for me to commit a crime. Hala! Akala nila poor ako. I bought both of them. Leche sila. Bumili naman ako ng ballpen nila.

NIVEA creme - Ramesh once told me that we should never let go of our selves. Kaya dapat maglagay ng moisturizer. Haha! i used to swab the clean and clear moisturizer but it made me feel like soup. Kulang na lang gatas at elbow macaroni, sopas na. Clean and clear was ok, but nivea made me feel beautiful. i discovered it at kitchie's house after removing heavy make-up. It made my cheeks plump and cute.

JOHNSON'S BABY MILK LOTION - I just like the word milk. i don't really drink milk so i think it will pass up for all my lost calcium. I wish this lotion would also have benefits like the ones for osteoporosis. It reminds me of Elizabeth Taylor and how she would bathe in milk Don't take this seriously.

I also bought a pink plastic loofah with a built in pig figure that looks like Super Boink. Did you know that a pigs' orgasm can last up to 30 minutes?

Lucky lucky pigs.
