Still no takers for my south sea pearls... Nobody came to inquire when I first posted these pearls here and at eBay, and I figured that the inferior pictures must be the culprit.

Window Shopping at IKEA
Our wall clock finally broke down today. It was giving us a time that is 2 hours late. It was an old clock which AJ brought in from his parent's home because it was just being kept there, unused. We were happy then because we don't have to buy one, but now we're excited to buy one hehe. Time is gold, you know, so you can't afford to be running 2 hours late in everything ... READ MORE

My Love Affair with South Sea Pearls
Unlike other 30-something ladies I know, I am not much into clothes. I think I buy clothes only once in a semester. My usual attire would consist of jeans (or capri pants), polo shirt (usually from Lacoste or Columbia Sportswear) and my ever-reliable Fit Flops. They're my signature outfit if I'm not in my office uniform. My only weakness and the most likely thing I ... READ MORE
