Just enjoy the show!!!

I never really understood the whole Brad Pitt hoopla until I saw "Moneyball'. Shoot me now, I think this is the first movie of his that I saw. Well, second after Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I was, literally, ogling the whole time. The jawline is stunning, and those scenes when he's walking inside the room with his smokin' swagger and aviators on was just heart-stopping. All of a sudden, I had fantasies of working for a sports team (ahem, Mercedes GP!) if only he would be the GM.haha (Yes even if he spits on a cup which is really disgusting, I'm wiling to overlook that part.haha) But daydreaming aside, I really love this movie. Jonah Hill was really good, there aren't enough words. He really held himself well beside Brad Pitt. There were lots of hold-on-to-your-seat moments which doesn't necessarily include Mr. Pitt and his insanely gorgeous self. I love how intense it depicts Billy Beane's passion- gritted teeth, clenched fists, and all that. It is very inspiring and definitely puts things on perspective. It's one of those that gives you a nudge on the head when you kind of get of track in this fast-paced city life. Sometimes, it's not about the money. Sometimes, it's about believing in something, being passionate about it and standing by it. (It's a shame I don't have the balls like Billy Beane does.)

Prior to seeing this film, I've played The Show by Lenka several times on my ipod. Then, it was just a cute song with a nice melody. But while it was being played during the movie, I'm seriously having goosebumps. It's too perfect, if you ask me. Kerris Dorsey sang it beautifully and it gave the movie an ironic touch it being about sports and the OST being sung by a little (not to mention, adorable) girl. I think I just found my new song and yeah it took me a couple of years to realize that. ;)

So I end this with a glimpse of one of my fave scenes from the movie which totally made me choke the first time I saw it. After you've experience the whole of Moneyball, this will surely be a tear-jerker. And the half smile on Brad Pitt's face... it gave me another reason to hate Ms. Jolie! Some girls do have it all. tsk tsk

I'm just a little bit caught in the middle

Life is a maze and love is a riddle

I don't know where to go, can't do it alone

I've tried and I don't know why

I'm just a little girl lost in the moment

I'm so scared but I don't show it

I can't figure it out, it's bringing me down

I know I've got to let it go and just enjoy the show

Fashion Ain’t Cheap, nah!

Sure our economy is hitting all time highs (intra-day market high of 5,000++ y’all!!!) but that doesn’t exactly mean that people are richer, unless you’re part of the elite 1% of course. (Note to self: Must watch that documentary, asap!haha) So unless your paycheck is as hefty as the rainmakers, paying the bills and having a decent amount of savings is hard as it is. So why bother spending your precious dime on fads that will go as soon as the next fashionista comes out with something new? I used to say that a grand can’t buy much anymore but today, I proved myself wrong. I stumbled on this find when I passed by Landmark in Makati. I badly need a new bag (I swear all those that I own are either extremely tortured or too tiny for all my stuff) and I refuse to buy another one from Charles and Keith (1. I'm not into any of their new designs, 2. The past two that I had ended up looking tattered after less than a year, and 3. I really can’t swallow spending another 2k on another bag that will only last for less than a year.)! So when I saw that shelf of bags (I'm, actually, coming back for the 700+ bag in camel. Soooo gorgeee!), I knew I had to get one, and I'm pretty darn confident about my pick. It’s a 3-in-1 black and leopard gorgeousness. You can use it as it is. There’s an extra strap to turn it into a sling bag. There’s another pouch inside that can turn into either a bag organizer or a separate sling bag. How awesome is that?

I did say that I wanna make 2012 the year that I buy my very first designer bag. But then I realized that at 25, I'm not really at that point yet when I can splurge. Right now, I choose to prioritize saving (more of redeeming myself from the mistakes of the past) rather than checking every single item on my shopping bucket list. It will come, eventually. But for now, I’d be more than happy to hunt for bargains and blog about it! ;)
