Christmas is here

What I am loving ... coming home

especially when I am surprised by a visit 

by my Christmas stork RR!

I was feeling rather scroogie until last night.

I've got to have a party!

Thank you very much, RR!

Wa'ko-ni, my Indian princess

What I am loving ... after a long wait ... 

I finally got my Wa'ko-ni!

I was shopping with my friend JG

who was looking for an anniversary gift for his wife MG.

Our first stop was the Hermes shop at Lee Gardens in CWB.

I was so speechless when I saw this Indian lady

smiling at us as we entered the shop!

JG got one in blue-violet or MG.

And, I got one in red-orange for myself.

A new-old apartment

What I am loving: turning something old into new!

I bought a one-bedroom apartment in Makati (Philippines) a few months ago.

It was pretty old-fashioned but I super-loved

the space and the big windows.

It screamed "lots of potential" to me.

I asked my architect-cousin to gut it completely.

I just got the pictures and am so excited to share ... and to see

the place in person.

The best way to see how far we've gone

is to compare the before and after pictures.

Pretty in Pink

What I am loving ... a rose on my wrist.
This is not mine.
This is my friend TB's new watch.
It's a gift from her dear hubby AB.
I am in Switzerland at the moment.
The land of chocolates and watches.
It just seemed to be the right time to make this post!
