Hakot at the Aranaz Sale

Kath, is my ever reliable shopping buddy - with her, EVERYTHING is possible. Yes, everything! Imagine shopping amidst the snow in Beijing's outdoor Silk Market! We were literally holdoing on to one another for dear life since we were both slpping because of the ice on the pavement!! When everyone else wanted to laze around the apartment, she was the only one who went shopping with me to get a bag that I so desired. She will forver be one of my 'perfect' shopping buddies!

Just the other day, she sent me a text message informing me of the Aranaz Bag sale - the items will be priced from Php500.00 up. Not a bad deal for Aranaz bag right? And so we spoke and agreed to go together first thing in the morning Saturday. She specifically told me to be at her house early so that we will reach the store at exactly 10:00 in the morning. She says that she wants to have a look at the goods on sale and not be left with 'leftovers'.

For the 2nd time this month - I was forced to wake up earlier than expected. I woke up at 8:30am (on a Saturday morning) dressed up and proceeded to Kath's house. I got there on-time and I was greeted by the cutie Prince Oreo (a Shiba Inu). We then waited for her sister Tina to get done and thius left the house to go to the Aranaz store in City Golf, Mandaluyong.

When we got there, we were expecting to be the first ones on site. Unfortunately, we were the 3rd group to arrive. Upon entering the store premises, Kath immediately grabs a bag from the floor - Ganyan sha kabilis! She's literally THAT fast! She held on to it until we finished sifting through the numerous bags displayed on the floor.

I will not divulge the number of bags we bought - but I tell you, a girl can NEVER have enough bags. Go figure! Thanks Kath and Tina for being with me and for texting me of the sale. Love you guys, and as for the bags - Love it!!

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
