Online shoes: Pair 1



I've bought a couple of pairs of shoes online, especially on the Aldo website. Their sales are awesome! Half the price of the Aldo store here. Best buy! I bought 4 pairs online recently and this is the first of the 4 pairs to arrive. Got it for 35 buckaroos, not bad right? Especially since the dollar is pretty cheap. It's not as comfy as another pair of Aldo wedges I have but it's walkable nonetheless. Super timely because I'm going to need the height and so called "slimming effect" of these shoes especially since its the holidays, ugh!

My early Christmas gifts... hohoho...




I have a Christmas wish I've jotted down in my head...These are 2 the things I've managed to cross out from my list - my Marc Jacobs fuchsia pouch and a DKNY shopper bag. Santa came early care of TJ (my Tita JimJam), thanks for the Marc Jacobs pouch I've been eyeing. This pouch went through a lot to get to me, hidden in bushes in a friend's house in Palo Alto at that. Second Santa was my favorite fiancee-fiance Martina and Ryan, thank you for buying the bag in Singapore and possibly hand carrying it home. 2 down...but a lot to go!

My attempt at TRX




TRX stands for Total Body Resistance Exercise. At first glance it seems simple enough, but don't let looks deceive you. The U.S. Navy designed this training tool for its special Sea, Air and Land (SEAL) forces while they were deployed for extended periods. The elite teams needed something portable and highly effective to maintain their fitness levels in the field. If it worked for the the Marines, it's worth a shot right?

I do my TRX classes with Reema Chanco, she's pretty cool. (The first pic is a pic of the TRX room in her place in San Miguel village) I've gone thrice and so far, I'm lovin' it. It's challenging and mind you the day after my first class I felt like a bulldozer ran over me. In a good way though! It's carrying your own body weight so in my case, that's a lot. (And I hope that means it'll be effective). It's also not boring because there are a gazillion different exercises that can be done. I highly recommend it its an entertaining class and it makes the one hour go by real quick.
