Most of the books I marked as read, I couldn’t even remember the story. I’m a pop reader. Just as long as someone says the book is good, I’ll read it. Or if its in the best seller’s corner, I’ll buy it. Haha I can stand a poorly written book or a bad story plot more than a good telenovela or reality show.

Joy,  Kel…magblog naman kayo paminsan! Gawin nyo ‘to http://nocturnal-abyss.com/?p=993 What’s in your bag?

Since I too am utterly bored, I obliged. I said I’ll do it over the holidays but I decided to post it now.

There. Since I decided to post this when I was already in the office, all I got with me to capture the picture is my trusty red Sony Ericson K610i. So she’s not included in the picture. I named her Mav.

I’m not the type who switch from one bag to the other to fit my day’s wardrobe. So here is my everyday bag, a brown, soft faux leather, messenger bag type from Dorothy Perkins. It was a gift from a friend just last Christmas.

I always bring with me an umbrella. I prefer the type that opens in one click and closes again in another. I used to have a candy pink colored umbrella until two weeks ago when it finally gave in to my almost daily use, I bought this maroon one in its place.

The fan is just a recent addition in my bag since the summer heat can now be unbearable. A short walk from point A to point B makes me sweat buckets load. The brown wayfarer shades is also a recent daily dweller in my bag, yes, because its summer and well to hide from the public that I’m starting to cry. Huhuhu

A brown wallet from Girbaud that I really need to get replaced now since the closing latch is already noticably ripped from around the button.

My pink cutesy coin purse bought as a gift from A Store For All Seasons years ago can still serve its purpose but I think I need to retire soon too.

The one above my pink coin purse is a green reusable, foldable bag for groceries or other purchases that I asked from Ate. Go green!

Above that, my small brush from The Body Shop.

The keys to the office and my office ped and another set of keys for the gate and door at home.

The small black kit was a Christmas gift too containing some stuff that I rarely use: a couple of lip balm, a tube of o-Glow that I got as a birthday gift, a cologne, 2 tubs of a Chinese remedy for insect bites or stuffy nose, and a container for hair clips.

My pink iPod nano covered in pink pig silicon case and attached to it, a black Nike on-ear earphones.

A pink  ballpen.

Band-Aid Isopropyl Alcohol.

Hand Lotion from Watsons.

A black hardcase container for my Replay eyeglasses. Yes, I’m near-sighted but I rarely use it because my eyesight is not really unmanageably high. Its just 25-50, I think. But I think it went up a bit higher now so I need to get my eyes checked again.

My office id and proximity card on my Nike There Is No Finish Line red lanyard.

Hmm… That’s just it really. Now what’s in your bag?
