Agree or disagree? No matter what, I would insist that bags are made for ladies, or should I say that there are bags made for ladies and bags made for men. But I bet the ladies do keep a collection of bags than men and quite a number of ladies are a bag fiend. Most of my friends are crazy about bags, any kind, any size, any brand, as long as it is a bag. Men can go out without carrying a bag but ladies can’t and whatever it is that a lady put in the bag that’s hard to leave at home is some kind of a secret between her and the bag. And don’t get curious about me and my bag cos there’s nothing much I can tell.
About a month ago, the mother of one of my students is into this kind of business thing, selling bags and jewelries, going around meeting Filipino friends to sell her stuff. While she brings her two kids to attend my Filipino class, she brings her stuff and tries to show me all afterwards. I am not that interested in jewelries, but the bags she is selling are hard to resist, hahaa! And for heavens sake, the first time I own a branded, quite expensive bag. I might be a bag fiend but I don’t go for a more classy, original ones. I remember I bought a Gucci imitation and a real copy-cat one in Davao and used it here. Mind you, somebody asked me if it was original, hahaa! But I was quick to reply no which I regretted afterwards. I should have said yes, lol! Back to the mother, last week she brought another branded bag, but doubled the price of what I bought before. Ack! I just closed my eyes and thought I couldn’t squander that much money for a bag.
Speaking of more bags, I got an email from Amor who invited me to sign-up at Handbag Planet which site is giving away a handbag every 24 hours on the day of the launch. I grabbed it of course, now I can’t wait to receive my handbag, if ever I am lucky enough to get one.

I love bags too! I have so many signature bags and purses and wallets that are collecting dust in my closet. I’m just a simple gal lol! So, you mention you’re not much of a jewelry person, and I thot, about the necklace I reserved for you, it’s OK if you don’t want it. I’ll just unreserved it, that shouldn’t be a problem 🙂 btw, I joined the bag giveaway just for the heck of it. I hope we both win, that will be awesome.
Oh, yes, I’m not much into jewelries but I buy what I like, it’s just that I don’t have a wide collection of it. And most especially, I like it when it’s bought for me, hehee! Good luck to us!
I love handbags, and I don’t mind paying a little bit higher if I really love them. My choice of bag needs to have a lot of compartments, big enough but doesn’t look huge when I carry them too.Of course, bags are more for ladies. For us, it is our fashion accessory. 🙂
You’re a bag fiend, too. What you like for a bag is what I like. Perhaps you can buy (me) that Chanel for 1,800sek, hehee!
I wish you win your Hand Bag.
Am crossing my finger, too.
Good luck sa atin Marlene, alam mo ba nag email ako sa halos lahat ng member ng yahoo group na kasama ako, kasihodang nang spam ako haha! Kaya ayun sabi ng handbag planet I have reached the maximum number daw of emails, umabot na kasi ako ng 400+ kinarir ko ba naman pagsesend ng invites eh! haha!
OO nga, pwede mo rin sinabing orig yung bag mo, honesty is not always the best policy hehe!
Amor, ganun pala yun. Ako, mga ilang piraso lang na-invite ko at mga nieces and friend lang. Sige, madagdagan nga ang invites.
Nakakatakot din mag-bag ng original baka maholdap tayo nang wala sa oras, hahaa!
I absolutely agree 😀 I wouldn’t be caught dead with a plastic bag even … hehehe …
Plastic bags are for groceries and such. And before I forget, I’ve unintentionally collected some, hahaa!
I got this kind of invitation too but I didn’t sign up hehe. I just visit the site. Was it nice Len?
Joy, when you visit the site, you can’t choose any bag yet, dahil ila-launch pa lang. Pero yung ino-offer nilang bags for give-aways, it’s worth signing-up naman din. 🙂
ah okay, nakita ko nga yung mga bags eh..pero alam mo na di ako bumibili pg diko nakita personally talaga mga gusto ko.
I signed up too!! Hehehe Cross fingers ya? Hopefully we both get em!
Yes, Rozie! Hope we both get those bags or we’ll forget the site, hahaa!
Your article helped me a lot. Thank you
