The 6 UNIMPORTANT Things That Make Me Happy

my first post since i went on vacation! :)

Frances tagged me and since i haven't done tags in a long while and of course, i super duper like this red-haired lady, here's my i'm happy-to-be-back entry.

now the rules say:

• Mention the person who tagged you
• List 6 unimportant things that make you happy
• Tag 6 blogs, state the rules and notify them with a teeny comment on their blog

comfort shoes! (picture from www.crocs.com)

1. MAKE UP. yes, i confess, i love make up! my knees go weak at the sight of creamy, dewy-looking lipstick, yummy-colored blush on, and foundation that feels and clings like second skin. but would you believe that i don't spend much on it? it's because my mother buys stuff for me most of the time and my favorite brands are relatively cheaper. i am currently into mineral make up because it makes my skin glow.

2. ONLINE SHOPPING. it is very convenient! i usually buy dresses, shoes, bags and books online and so far, i've only been disappointed twice. but it's not bad considering the number of times i have purchased items over the internet. i haven't tried buying from international sites though because i just can't afford the shipping rates, it's expensive enough to induce a heart attack. hehehe. but i do check clothes and shoes there. ogle, that's the term most likely. i know i will never be able to buy anything from there not unless i win the lotto very soon.

3. NAIL POLISH/MANICURE/PEDICURE. more specifically, nail polish that looks perfect on my toes. vanity! but it really makes me happy how light pink or green or even devil red makes my feet prettier and flip flop-worthy. i've always been thankful that i have tiny digits that at least looks decent on any footwear. manicures and pedicures have their own way of cheering me up. it's one luxury i can never give up.

4. BARGAINS/MALL SALE/UKAY UKAY. my friends M and Y cannot get over the fact that i (used to) go berserk whenever malls hold their quarterly sale. i mostly buy dresses and shoes during these mallwide sales because of course, they're so much cheaper. and gah, who doesn't love ukay ukay? maybe a handful but i bet they just haven't discovered the magic of vintage shopping. hahaha. ukay ukay for me is a winner because you get to wear classic, rare finds -- shoes, blouses, bags, skirts, dresses -- without spending even half of your salary!

5. COMFORT FOOTWEAR. there are shoes you wear to work, sandals you wear to feel sexy and elegant, and then, there are espadrilles/flipflops, etc you wear because they love your feet and makes you comfortable in every way. i call the last type of footwear as my comfort shoes, even if they're not exactly shoes. i wear my comfties when my feet feels battered from using high heels or closed shoes or even tight ballerina shoes the whole week. one example is my white loafers from carcar. i love how soft it is and how it cushions my feet from too much walking. i get cranky when my legs and footsies ache (from too much shopping sometimes) that's why i always wear my comfort shoes when i know i'd be standing and walking most of the time. it makes me, and my feet, happy and stress-free.

6. JUNK FOOD/ICE CREAM they're unhealthy, true, but they're great pick me uppers so better be happy than healthy! hahaha. cmon, i know you love junk too!

okay. now, i'm tagging IFound Me, PromdiLiving (i had coffee with both girls last week, watch out for our EB story), theGreatMaldito, Delectable Dee (who makes the best relyeno i tasted so far), Girlashness, and ProjectVanity.
