it's another rip-roaring weekend over here in my little sphere of existence. half the day lolling around in bed, then out to the grocery and book store, back home to munch on popcorn while re-reading bridget jones' diary and covering a couple of new books in plastic (which, in all seriousness, is something i've been dying to do for months).
the highlight of my day was probably finding the perfect afternoon tea party dress at a new ukay-ukay. it's a soft, drapey wrap dress with a deep v neck. it's not only light and summery, but it fits my most important tea party criteria: it must hide all signs of dessert bingeing. the drapey quality of the dress is perfect for that purpose. i love ukays.
oh, and my visit to national bookstore. i felt a sudden rush of nostalgia when i stepped into the bookstore we all grew up with/in and realized i haven't been in a national bookstore since college, when i had to buy school stuff.
i also ended up buying myself a new book (malcolm gladwell's the tipping point) within ten minutes, something i've found difficult to do lately at big bookstores like fully booked -- the selection is so overwhelmingly large (with so much bad mixed with the good) that all the back cover blurbs start to sound the same. (i say "overwhelmingly large" because i grew up with a bookstore where half the space was devoted to office and school supplies, and not books.)
really exciting stuff, huh? the perfect complement to all the hullabaloo that was going on in the city yesterday. yes, the city. not the nation. far as i'm concerned the "coup" was strictly a makati thing. inquirer columnist manuel l. quezon III calls the state of emergency "a state of panic." i'm inclined to agree.
