Because I live down south, I was glad that the much-awaited Leilanie's House of Bags is now open. I've seen the manse with the replica of a pink Hermes being constructed, the huge billboards and banners along the highway, the newspaper ads ... how can I not go and take a look?

December 2009 bazaar schedule: for that last-minute Christmas shopping
With Christmas barely three weeks away, holiday shopping is now at a feverish pitch. Luckily, the season is also the peak time for bazaars, which enable shoppers like us to get everything in one roof. I like bazaars, for as long as my energy level allows me. That's because I find items here that I don't usually see in department stores. Best of all, you can haggle! Here's a list of bazaars for the remainder of December 2009 in Manila, or what remains of the holiday season: December 4 to 6 The Big Holiday Outlet Sale (SMX Convention Center, Mall of ...
