Saldi!

It's the perfect time to shop!

Almost, if not, all of the shops have their year- end sale -

(inventory-clearance sale.) I was out yesterday and those shops' windows were shouting at me in big red letters: SALE! I just had to get in!

First stop, Zara. Whenever I'm there, I go directly to the kid's section. High-quality fabric, great colors and beautiful prints makes me opt shopping in Zara more than I do in other kid's shops.

I adore their dresses a lot, so I grabbed this one when I saw that it's down by more than 70%! (insert awed icon here). A perfect fit for my little girl.




I saw this house slippers too which were 2euros cheaper, the little girl started using them at
school today, she is very happy to have them...soft wand cute!


Lastly I got the 2 boys hooded pullovers in different colors...all in all, these took just a little short of 40 from my wallet!

Litratong Pinoy - Pula/Red

Naku, Paborito kong kulay ang tema ngayon. Noong mga nakaraang meme (photohunt at ruby tuesday) ay mayroon akong mga ginamit na litratong may kulay pula. Sa baba nitong akda ay ilalagay ko uli.

Gaya ng maraming kababaihan (naku, naririnig ko ng iba sa inyo nagsasabi ng 'ako!') mahilig din akong mangolekta ng sapatos...kung minsan ay hindi naman nagagamit kundi nakatago lang. Ito ang bagong dagdag sa aking kabinet. Nabili ko online, biglaan lamang dahil sobra akong natuwa sa kanya. :D

(Like most women, I collect shoes, even if they just end up unused and hidden in the shoerack, I still buy new shoes to add up. :D I bought them online, on impulse because I find them really cute).

Eto si bunso, pero wag sha ang tingnan nyo kundi yung pader sa likod...Yan ang kulay na ipinuntura namin kaya lahat ng mga gamit ay kailangang akma sa kulay na iyan. (Ang litratong ito ay ginamit sa ruby tuesday).

(This is my little boy, but don't look at him instead focus on the background, a red wall. This is what we painted our walls, now everything in the living room should complement this color. (This photo was used for ruby tuesday meme).

Eto naman ay ginamit ko sa photohunt na may temang 'sapatos' dahil noon ay ito ang paborito kong pulang sapatos (tag-init!).

At eto na naman, ekstra uli si bunso, nakita kong sinusukat ang sapatos ko pero inalis nung kinuhanan ng piktyur! hehe. Aminin nyo mga boys, mahilig din kayo magsukat ng sapatos ng nanay nyo nung bata pa kayo!

(The photo of the red mary jane was used for a photohunt entry with the theme 'shoes' because at that time, it was my favorite red shoes (summer!). Again, here is the little boy whom I saw was trying on my shoes, he immediately removed his foot when I took the shot. Admit it, you also like putting on your mom's pumps back then!)

Happy LP!

ABC Wednesday - Yonder/Yacht

Yonder, a boat waits...for the wind, for someone to sail.

---

I actually wanted to post a photo of a (real) yacht but first saw this boat photo, which is a kind of it too, so there, Y is for Yacht. Still taken in Italy sometime in August, hubby and I went walking while the kids had their afternoon nap, left under oma's care.

Weekend Snapshot - Facade

This beautiful building has piqued my curiosity ever since I first noticed it. For years, I have wondered what its purpose is as it does look like a castle in front of a river, it can be seen as the tram we board home passes by.

Never judge a book by its cover, as the cliche goes...in this case, never let the appearance fool you! For this building, so grand and picturesque, was supposedly a prison turned into Austria's Ministry of National Defense Office. Currently under the command of Minister Norbert Darabos, the Armed Forces are engaged into national and international peace-keeping operations and humanitarian missions.

I could only imagine how nice and comfortable the lives of the prisoners would be in this kind of institution. I remember during Sociology class that we once visited the Bilibid prison (Muntinlupa, Philippines) and it was a very different sight in terms of building architecture and perhaps the interior too, as well as the program and routine of internees. I believe the only 'good-looking' sight then was Robin Padilla...lol.

Have a nice and enjoyable week everyone!

Scenic Sunday - Tulips

Miss the sunny days? I do, that's why today I am posting photos of tulips...Flower Islands in the city is a delight to see. The Unsere Garten (Our Garden) people are ready to decorate each island with flowering plants accordingly, bulbs in spring, long-lasting blossoms for summer and winterfest flowers for winter.

Just how much budget the government allows for this, I don't really know. I do know that the city gardeners deserve a thumbs up for a job well-done!
