Something to look forward to

I've been wanting to take up short courses on some technical skills in Fashion Design. Patternmaking and sewing to be exact. This term my load is not that heavy, having classes only every Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Friday's not even booked, just one 3-hour class. So since the term break, I've been looking into schools that offer such classes. I've contacted LCI-Manila first and they sent me their schedule

BASIC MAKE UP

And then I saw the one in SoFA.



I remember my friend Ianna recommending the school. She took some classes there before and she said the atmosphere is fun. I don't know anyone who has gone to LCI so I don't know how it's like there. Also, considering that I want to take up both Sewing and Patternmaking I think it would only be convenient if I take it up in SoFA since they offer that. I just wish it isn't so soon, I haven't even talked to my parents about it yet.

So tired of being a bum at home. And I need to meet new people!

Bag Lust

I started buying crossbody bags last December and I've been hooked since. The thing with carrying a big bag is that I tend to fill it with stuff I don't really need, which makes it heavy and hard to lug around. Small crossbody bags are much more convenient to use, especially on days when I don't need to bring a lot of things, which is often!

Here's what my bag staples are:
- Student ID
- Cash
- ATM card
- A compact mirror
- Lip balm
- Pens
- Cellphones (Globe & Sun)
- External Hard Drive
- book

I don't mind carrying the book I'm reading if it doesn't fit in my bag. I prefer that over bringing a huge bag that's filled with junk I don't use.


So yes, bag lust. Last Saturday, while shopping with my mom, I saw this bag in Dorothy Perkins. I actually saw it on the mannequin in Blush Pink but when I looked at the accessories section I saw that they had it in three different colors. I instantly fell in lust with the purple one! If I find myself still thinking about it on Wednesday then I'm coming back for it!
