Why Oh Why...
My birthday gift for myself came in early, I was kinda low so I pushed myself again to bed after sleeping for almost 12 hours after my New York flight to Marina mall to put some smile into my face, a very expensive smile that is.
I really hate it if feel low or bad, my depression to this so called life is eating me, especially my natal day is coming, adding to my anxiety is that today is Friday the 13th, my lucky day he he he! I was hired in EY, Friday the 13th!
Oh, I think I need a dose of alcohol in my system now, all my closest friends are either in-flight, or in the gym, sleeping or doing other errands. So here I am, eating alone, mall-walking alone, day dreaming alone. (SIGH!) A big one!
Well, as usual, I did some rounds to ZARA and found some interesting Casual to Formal Jackets, my Favorite and it's again, Grey! Summer is just around the corner so most of the collections are linens or cottons. There are no new loafers to feast so I bid goodbye to most of my SA friends...
I reached LV around 1610H, usually they are open 1600H till 2200H on Fridays, I met "Ate Laila" and Ahlan, about to pick up either my Damier Geant COUGUAR or Damier Graphite Tadao. Unfortunately, the 2 Couguar stocks stayed in the store for quite sometime so Ate Laila encouraged me not to buy them so, since Tadao also is out of stock, I diverted my attention to my 3rd pick, the Damier Ebene Naviglo or Damier Azure. Well, I was looking for a Manbag that suit my personality, not too big or not too small. And I think, well I thought that, aside from my other two favorites, the Naviglio is okay, though it looks like a lunch box or a camera bag, well...I ended up bringing the big brown bag...
Guess what I brought with me...
SIGH!

Chanel
We had around 35 minutes to do last duty free shopping on my last JFK flight. We were all like rats that roamed the canals while the cats were out.
I was able to buy some chocolates and NY caps and bears. Then we went to the vanity section were tons of parfums et.al were teasing our eyes and nose.
We tried the Estee Lauder finishing pore reducing moisturizer and it was perfect. Marius because of my convincing power bought one, even Abdel our Arabic speaker liked it. The Filipino SA with a "twang" was very helpful and convinced me to buy 2 perfumes from Chanel which by the way more cheaper than any duty free shops in the cities I have visited. Chanel Allure Pour Homme and Egoite sells for $67 each, less 10% Crew discount, so I bought two for $121 only. Cheappppppp! And I got 1 Givenchy perfume free. How's that!
Unfortunately, I picked the wrong Egoiste, instead of Platinum, I bought the first Egoiste, the feeling of putting it is like Jose Marie Chan's song, "Sing Me A Song, Daddy!".
I'm not that too old so really, I got the wrong Egoiste, Well, what to do, my next JFK will be at the end of the month so, what to do? Maybe a birthday gift for my Dad, who will be celebrating his 62nd birthday on the 17th of April... Wow!
Until then...
