While the other side of the world is enjoying the heat of summer sunshine, we, the people of the Philippines, have been quite under the weather for a few days now. I've learned my lesson, 3 yrs in Manila has taught me that preparing for the rainy days is not a joke AND will never be a joke when you're in Manila. Before the rainy days started ruining our weekends, I made sure that I'm prepared hence my recent purchases.

I wasn't wrong. The other day, we had this terrible rain that would leave you not wanting to get out of bed. I'm also a "dress" kind of person but the rain just wouldn't let me wear my pretty dresses that day. I thought, it was the perfect time to use le new boots. Yay!

I promised myself that 2013 was supposed to be my year for financial wellness, I guess I'd have to move it to 2014. Ugh! Not because of all the unnecessary purchases, but, well, uhm, yeah. The unnecessary purchases are part of it too, but I also moved to a different apartment so that's another thing. If you also follow me on Twitter/Instagram, I got myself a new phone last week. So, with all of those, I don't think I'm on my way to financial wellness. I promise to do better next year!

Back to these lovely babies I got here! While waiting for my phone to be activated last week, we were walking around the mall and my impulses got the best of me.
