We’ve been in Livermore Premium Outlets a couple of times last year.
We went back last Monday.
We drove through vineyards, valleys and mountains to get there, but it was an easy and relaxing drive. This is what I miss when I am in Manila. Everyday I see pwet ng bus.
We went straight to the fastfood for a lunch, merienda and dinner combination at 3:30 pm.
Edmund likes Subway, hindi sya nasasawa.
I like chicken and shrimp teriyaki. Hindi ako nasasawa.
Ang laki at ang haba naman ng kay Edmund.
He couldn’t finish one foot long, he took home the other half for his dinner.
After eating, man and wife split. He went to look for golf wear, while wife walked leisurely without any pressure to buy anything.
Nice weather. Very few shoppers. Mostly Filipinos, Chinese, and a few Americans.
Prada store
I wanted to buy a small wallet that would fit my smaller handbags.
Omb———-“Is this from China?”
Sales guy—-“Prada sources materials globally to bring down the costs, to pass on to the consumers”.
Omb———– “I understand that but still, I don’t want from China”.
Sales guy—– “I can find that out”.
Sales guy—– “It’s made in Italy”.
Omb———– “That’s good. Thank you”.
Pa-that’s good that’s good pa ako, hindi rin naman ako bumili. Ang mahal naman ng wallet, ang liit lang eh $400 na, Nuong araw, yan na ang presyo ng bag. Ngayon, meron pang $1,000 depending on the brand. Hermes has a Euro 5,000 wallet.
I bought a pair of sunglasses kasi I broke the one I brought in this trip. It’s so hard to go out without wearing one. Although it’s already fall, the sun is still strong from 10 am to 5:30 pm.
I got a black one. Plastic na plastic. I hope I don’t lose it or break it.
I TRIED to shop for dresses. We are attending a dinner-dance event tomorrow night in San Jose. Since I wasn’t able to go back to Manila, hindi ko naka prepare ng mga gagamitin ko for tomorrow. Wala akong formal bag. Edmund brought me a gown from Amir Sali, eh kaso sabi nya mukha raw akong magsasagala, hayun ipinalagay ko na sa balikbayan box. Ni hindi ko isinukat. He brought me a simple short sleeves dress, ang problema, ano pa eh di tyan na naman. pati nga yung mga nakasabit sa labas ng cabinet ko, dinala nya dito eh mga for repairs yun. Iuuwi ko na naman.
This cocktail dress is really cute only when it’s still in the hanger dahh! When I tried it on, Ulk, waark, I couldn’t take how I looked. Mukha akong inahing ibon na hindi ma i re.
Oyen emailed me a list of things to buy (her bilins), which included Kiehl’s shampoo. I only found dog shampoo. Sobrang sosyal naman si Jazzy.
I bought a dozen Ghirardelli chocolates for pasalubong. Ang konti, kulang yan, ipa raffle ko na lang dun sa merong low sugar.
I can’t wear this patterns, our dogs might attack me.
China has overtaken the US as the biggest economy in the world. The US claims that many factories in China are owned by Americans, producing products for export to the US. They can say that, but the product is still made in China.
Self-control
Are you talking to me?
