Made In China.
I was cleaning my room, putting away the receipts, shopping bags and purses that has been long scattered on my bedroom floor since the shopping month of December started.
Then I saw it.
I looked into my navy Kate Spade “medium shopper” handbag, and in the shallow corners of it, a tag reads “Made in China”. Huh.
My Coach bag said the same. Except they added “handcrafted” in China with the “finest materials“. Impressive? Actually, that made me feel a tad bit better — but only for a split second.
Now tell me, why the hell do I invest money in American designer bags, if all they do is get kids (or my cousins) to sew my bags for me?
OH, this is what I want for Christmas. Earmuffs. I need to be stylin’ when it comes to keeping my ears warm.
Edit: These earmuffs are LIMITED SEASONAL 2006 Autumn/Winter collection. RARE. LUXURY ITEM — AND GONE. That means I won’t be able to get my hands on those. Thanks for crushing my dreams Slutburger_with_cheese. You’re so good at it.
Well, I did tell Slutburger that if he can get his hands on those, I would promise to get him a PS3.Anyone up for the challenge? No counterfeits, please.Okay, this challenge is only for slutburger, exclusively. He doesn’t like competition.

The Break-up.
I watched The Break-up with JP tonight, and we thought the ending was disastrous. The alternate ending was even worse, if any one of you own the DVD, you’ll know what I mean. However, I did think that Jennifer Aniston’s character (Brooke) did parallel my emotional and mental state in my last relationship. Here is one of the lines that she said in the beginning of the movie that got the popcorn flying off of my lap, in light of sympathizing with her:
“I just want someone to want to do the dishes for me!”
Now men, I know what you’re thinking, it’s not about the dishes at all. (But of course, if you feel like doing them, then go ahead!) But it’s about wanting the best for the other person because you care. Sure, we know you don’t want to do the dishes, but say we had a bad day at work, cooked dinner already, looking horribly in pain and tiredsome, THEN wouldn’t you WANT to do the dishes? Just to try to carry some of the burden?
Let me try to put it in a more general way of thinking:
“I just want someone to want the best for me!”
I think when somebody already has the attitude of wanting the best for their partner, it’s like shooting for the stars. But whatever they do, it will be foolproof, because anything less, they would just land on the moon. There’s nothing to complain about it. They had their best intentions, and they tried. I think if somebody ever treated me and loved me with that attitude in mind, I would be on cloud nine. Always wanting the best for me.
I treat most guys in my relationship with this mentality. That way, I know that I was the best person I could ever be for them. I think it’s about time that I experience some reciprocity.
Xangans, what’s stopping a person to be the best they can be for somebody else? Is is selfishness? Pride? Lack of commitment? Or the fact that — one should not love another more than they love you?

very nice~
ryc: ya, i think up some evil thoughts sometimes. what i do, that’s a different thing. but i definitely run down the possibilities of what could be done.
People often don’t give their best. They give enough to get only what they want.
Your Aniston line made me think of… I know girls who want to get invited to things. You invite them and then they can’t go. Then they get bugged when you don’t invite them (ha ha ha). I want to invite the girl who wants to get invited and who wants to go. I know, totally non-related to the quote. Other than that… I always want the best for my friends. =)
ryc: yah. I figure she was just an ignorant youth and hope she’ll grow put of it.
ps I love eBay!
