one shopping day

we were planning to go to bondi junction eversince eric got his new laptop so we could buy the oakley laptop bag that he wanted. i told him that we'll get it for him (that's me and the baby boy) as our present already for christmas. he told me wanted to get an overnight/travel bag as well (his jansport backpack has seen better days) so i told eric that we could get that for him for our anniversary. so happy that i got his presents already! at least i don't have to worry about it anymore.

since we were already there, we went to nine west so i could show him this big tote bag i wanted (perfect for our trip to manila, fits my usual bag stuff plus passport and other travel stuff i want to bring on the plane not to mention stuff that i might buy in bangkok airport dutyfree during our stopover!). he was more than happy to get it for me that since he knows he needs to come up with a lot of presents for me this month (i got the one in black though)!

i already asked my ate to check out some coach leather bags in the us as well (carly leather in chili and ergo belted leather hobo in either black or brown, sorry, i can't seem to copy the bag pictures in their site). sobra unti lang kasi ng bags that their sydney store carries, mga old styles pa. not sure though if she could get it for me since she's already in atlanta for work (she was on holiday in san francisco and then las vegas a week before her business trip). na-guiguilty ako magpabili ng lv batignolles kasi when eric went to the lv store, it costs a whopping au$1,100.00!!! we could already buy our baby's car seat with that (we don't have a car seat just yet)! coach siguro i wouldn't feel so guilty. :-)

we were there lang sa bondi junction for two hours only (and that includes having lunch already). which is good kasi we don't have to pay for parking yet. ang mahal kaya mag-park there!

given that this is the second to the last weekend till our vacation in manila, we decided to do some more shopping for pasalubongs today. so off we went to birkenhead point. we first went to the nine west outlet. i was able to get a bag for my mama (i wasn't planning at all to give her a bag for christmas). eric was able to get my sis-in-law a handbag and i was able to get a weekend bag for myself (courtesy of my dear husband again, super cheap lang naman eh!).

then we went to the surf shop to get my brother his rip curl boardshorts which he asked me to buy for him (my siblings think that australia is the land of billabong, rip curl and roxy, dami nga here but they're so expensive naman kaya! i wouldn't be surprised if it's cheaper sa manila). sana lang it fits since i got him a 38 (he told me to get a 36 pero walang nice na 36!). i called one of my sisters in manila and asked what size i should be getting for him and she said the last time they got my brother a 36 pants, they had to return it for a 38 so hopefully tama nga (but the shorts really look big). oh well, if it doesn't fit him, then it goes to my papa. i also got thongs (that's flipflops for you!) for my sisters since they were on sale, 3 for au$20.

we also passed by the pumpkin patch outlet to get the baby boy some stuff (we got ourselves stuff kasi so i wanted to make sure that he doesn't feel left out :-P). got a two-pack onesies that snaps on the side. i find baby stuff so expensive, i can get cheapo tops for au$10 (not the best quality though) samantalang the baby clothes costs around au$15-20. i really have to stock up on the basics while we're in manila. not to mention ang unti lang ng clothes for boys samantalang ang daming cute stuff for girls!

before our free parking ended, we decided to go home already (obvious ba that we hate paying for parking???) we went home happy with all our shopping finds but broke. oh well, at least happy naman...
