Thrift Shoppin’

09.30.10

It is true that someone else’s trash is someone else’s treasure…

Recently, me and my shopping buddy went to “cheap-finds” haven , Quiapo. Of course we visited the famous Quiapo Church. Then, the hunting starts…We got this brown messenger bag on the street for only 250Php.(we haggled of course! from 300 down to the said price… yeah!). I’m sooo lovin’ this!

Then I saw this aviator, bought it for … 60Php. Cool! (Hey , it doesn’t look 60 pesos when you wear it! LOL! )

Then we were looking for a plaid button down for my big bro (in a thrift shop) and ended up buying these denim jackets instead, for only… you wouldn’t believe it… 40 Php.(each) . I just love the details of this one…

This was a good buy… it’s Forever21 denim jacket (light wash)! Yeah!

Looking forward to the next adventures…
I should say… “The best things in life , well , are not always free but they sometimes come in … cheap!” . Hahaha!
*P.S.
This haggle thingy and finding “good finds” in a thrift shop is a TALENT.
Proud to say… I got it. :))

We R In Need of Musical Revolution

We R In Need of Musical Revolution

by Esthero

I'm so sick and tired of the shit on the radio
and MTV, they only play the same thing
no matter where I go
I see Ashanti in the video
I want some thing more

We are in need of a musical ReVoLuTioN!
We are in need of....

How can you make your way through the world today
when everybody is so angry?
And what we HEAR affects our HEARTS...
there's got to be a better way to communicate
so show your LOVE not hate

We are in need of a musical ReVoLuTioN!
(we're so tired of the same old)
We are in need of some spiritual evolution
(we're so tired of the same old, same old)

We are in need of love
We are in need of love

I'm calling, calling, I'm calling out
calling you
Doesn't anybody wanna do something new?

I'm calling all creators in the movement
It's time to offer a solution to the dilution of what we love
And the greats would be so disappointed
'Cause we've sold our souls for what we don't own anymore...

We are in need of LOVE
Lets start a musical ReVoLuTioN!
(we're so tired of the same old)
We are in need of some lyrical evolution
(we're so tired of the same old, same old)

I'm so sick and tired of the SHIT on the radio
and MTV they only play the same thing
No matter where I go
I see Ashanti in the video
I want something
'Cause I'm sick and tired of the shit on the radio
and MTV they only play the same thing
no matter where I go
I see Britney on my video screen
I WANT SOMETHING MORE

Lets start a musical ReVoLuTioN!
I want something more
Lets start a musical ReVoLuTioN

Tell me why....
A grown man can RAPE a little girl
but we STILL hear his SHIT on the radio
A grown-ass man can videotape a little girl
but we still see his mug up on our video screens?

I want something more......
I want something.

* LSS... fine!*

Dear Toffee

Dear Toffee,

We've only been together for like 16 days, but you really made us feel like we've been together for years. You are such a darling. Whenever I came in from that door, your tail wags as if you were telling me you are glad to see me. Such a jolly dog! We never had a dog like you before (you, Chico, is an exception because you have a different case, haha!). You always wanted to play with the ball and that dog stuffed toy . *Sigh* I miss that!

Things happened so fast. We did everything we could to save you, but I think we must let you go to lessen your suffering.

You will be remembered, Toffee!
