Decisions, decisions

I'm going to HK at the end of the month and I'm sooo freaking undecided on what to get for my birthday :( Remember how I initially wanted a bag (LV or Balenciaga)? Well, I decided that I wanted the LV more. Also, I decided that I might get a belt or a pair of shoes as well, could be LV, Gucci, Prada, Hermes, whatever. But then I thought that maybe I could just get a new laptop instead of all those other things since my laptop is starting to break down on me and that getting a laptop will be good for me in the long run. My Macbook is almost 4 years old. It's still working properly and it's still fast because I upgraded my RAM but it's already showing signs of age. My Superdrive doesn't work anymore because a few months ago I dropped it on the floor from the table, the keyboard frame is already showing some cracks, and the laptop itself is so outdated already. Overall, I think that IF I don't get a new laptop, it'll start to break down in less than a year.

But you know what, the funniest thing just happened. As I was typing the previous paragraph, I had my decision made. LOL! No more buying laptop. Hello bag/belt/shoes! I'm excited to get the Speedy 35 Bandouliere! I asked my friend Miles who works in LV Manila and asked him about the price of the Speedy B 35. I wasn't too shocked about the price (Php 56,400) as I felt that it wasn't THAT expensive. After all, it's comes with a leather strap and that makes a difference. He told me though that if I'm going to HK, I should just get it from there because LV bags are cheaper in Hong Kong. I was a bit worried about that because I also wanted to have my bag heat-stamped with my initials and LV HK's heat-stamping service takes too long (as in like, 3-4 days!). I'm not staying in HK for THAT long! So I also asked Miles if I could have it heat-stamped in LV Manila even if I bought it in HK. I also asked him how long the heat-stamping would take, if there are queues for other customers. He said (and THANK GOD!) that the heat-stamping service is available for me and that it will only take me 20-30 MINUTES!!! I was so ecstatic when I heard about that because I really wanted my initials to be on my bag :D so, yay me!

So now, I'm online shopping for things that I'm getting for mi cumpleanos. First off is the Speedy B 35!

... and maybe either one of these FAB Gucci belts!

I know, I know... why didn't I pick an Hermes belt... it's just that Hermes belts are everywhere already, especially in Manila! I could think of at least 10 people who have one. Plus, H is so expensive! The price is equivalent to buying BOTH Gucci belts you see above. But maybe if my dad would still allow me, I'd get an H belt. Meh, whatever.

But if not the Gucci or H belt, I'd probably get an iPhone 4 in White :D because I fell so much in love with my friend Karla's and Sam's gorgeous white iPhones.




Edit: Finally, I had myself and my dad booked for HK on July 8 :) If there's anyone who's going on those same dates, I'd be glad to meet with you! Especially on July 8 (Friday) since my dad has a couple of business meetings there :D
