A Dose of Me Time

Before leaving for our holidays in Manila this coming Friday early morning, I managed to squeeze in some time for myself earlier. I went to the office to pick up my laptop and fixed my desk to see if there's anything important that I missed. I stowed away my notebook and cleared my table, hoping that when I come back next year, it will be not so cluttered from all the mails that will be coming in for me.  

After a quick dash at the 14th floor, I went to the B1 level to make it to my salon appointment at 8:00 am. I had my hair's oil bath and went for a mani-pedi, too. It was all done in an hour so I had breakfast first at Testa Rossa to kill time. I needed to go to the Emirates Towers Boulevard to have my watch adjusted but they won't open 'till 10:00 am. I just took advantage of the moment to read a few magazines and enjoy my breakfast leisurely. At 10 to 10, I made my way across the building.  

The adjustment of my watch didn't take that long - i guess only about 5 minutes. near the exit, I passed by Coach, and decided to check what's new - with no intention of buying anything. But when I saw the silk scarf that was similar to the one I lost recently, I decided to purchase it right there and then. Let's just say it's a souvenir from my first paid gig as a photographer (wow, I'm starting to love the sound of it!).  

Here's the Christmas packaging of Coach, which I love:

And my new (and definitely last) scarf for my black hobo bag:

I swear, I'm really gonna secure it with a pin this time! I bought it for a full price as opposed to the first two scarves I got, which were on sale at 50% off, so this should last me long.  

After that impulse buy, I went home by cab and did some last minute packing. In a little while, I should be preparing dinner for me & the husband. the weather is gloomy today and it's been raining since morning, but I love it! The bed is so enticing I just wanna curl up and read a book 'till iI fall asleep.
