the sHoes!!

Finding the ring is no different in finding shoes for the preparation for my big day. If finding the ring is tiresome, double that and add to that the headache. Headache because there are so much choices, so many beautiful ones and yet you have to choose only one. :(

I spent almost half of a day looking for the shoes. I have to find three sets of shoes - for my mom, my sister, and me.

What makes it harder looking for the right one is that the shoe departments' most displayed stock are school shoes since school opening is in the corner. Good thing is that I have someone with me to help me choose. She's an officemate, a fellow blogger, a maid of honor and a friend. (-.-)

I found one pair from Ferretti. A brown 2" heeled sandals for my mom (i just hope she wears it ^_^) I have no problem with sizes because we have the same feet size.

What took most of my time finding is the right one for my sister and me. Actually I already had my eye for the GIBI. I like their new designs but I am considering the budget. Budget, budget, budget... Always the budget..

So I ignore the GIBI for awhile and look around for my sisters' shoes. It seems that I've already seen all pairs available and can't think of which one will be a good partner for a green gown. I have difficulty finding the right pair 'coz I am not good in color combination. *_*

Poor in everything...haist..

Well, time is passing by and the mall is starting to box their displays. I have to decide wether I'll buy or waste another half of the day. The next day is already accounted for, so I decided to buy the 3ocalo and the GIBI. With the help of my friend we came up with this designs...

They are beautiful, ain't they?? (say yes, pleeeease??? :O )

Olympus T100

A peasant can dream. And every accomplished dream, however small, is something to be proud of, right?

I've been wanting to buy a digital camera for yeeears... but circumstances won't allow me. Then came this big day of mine, what with all the finances and everything, the chances of buying was pushed deeper or rather further in mind. But I really want to have one for myself.

I really wanted to have my own camera, especially now that I have this little blog of mine. And I want to document everything, from preparation to ceremony to reception of my big day thru the picture. I want to take picture of everything and share it here in my blog. But I can't because the only camera I have is the 3 mega pixel camera of my samsung phone which I couldn't use inside our boarding house because light is poor and the quality of the picture is so poor since it doesn't have a flash.

My last post's photos, the ring hunt, was taken by my officemate and fellow blogger with her Nikon D5000. I couldn't afford that kind of camera..... yet.

But I want to have my own digital camera. So last weekend I decided to look for one. I gave myself a budget limit for the item. I keep in my mind to look for the item that would not exceed my assigned budget. So in TriNoma we (me and my sister) went. We went to every shop that sells digital cameras and compare prices. In all the cameras that I looked, there are three choices I found that is in my budget and still have a good enough specifications, the Samsung ES15, Samsung ES25 and the Olympus T100 (gave only a glance to the Sony, Canon, Kodak and other BIG names (*-*) ). I admit I am not very good when it comes to gadgets, so I don't know which to choose. My first choice is Samsung ES15 just because it is cheaper. :)

So I asked the sales person every question that would come into my mind, comparing each cameras. In the end I settled for the Olympus T100. It is not much, I know. But it is mine, I bought it with the money I earned. I didn't asked anybody to give it to me. It is not a gift of someone or anyone. I bought it and it is a dream come true. However simple it is, I am still proud of it. ^_^

I just wish I have chosen wisely... *_^ (can you tell me if I did chosen correctly?? (-.-) )
