What's In A Bag?

I'm crazy about my Longchamp Le Pliage bag. I don't know why, i just love it. Although it look so simple, it is very versatile. You can use it with jeans, slacks or even with a dress. I got mine in London at Harrods last February and eversince then I use it aaaaaall the time.

"So what's inside your bag?" a friend once asked me. I said, "well everything I need"...

Inside my bag are:

1. My purse
2. Ipod
3. Cellphone
4. Keys
5. Extra car key *yes I have a copy*
6. Pocketbook
7. Bottled water
8. A journal
9. Pen
10. Facial tissues
11. Band-Aid *just in case my feet get blisters from my shoes*
12. Fahrplan *timetable of the train and buses*
13. Hand lotion
14. Hand sanitizer
15. Daily planner
16. "Kikay" kit
17. Eco-bag *just in case I shop and don't have to use those plastic bags- Eco friendly tayo!*
18. Camera *why? i just love taking pictures*
19. Umbrella *german weather can be very unpredictable*
20. A scarf *when it gets cold...*

Hahaha! you must be thinking - "parang ang bigat yata ng bag nya, ang daming laman!" You're right, it is a bit heavy but these are my daily necessities. I'd be lost without these things.

So what's inside your bag?...

Infatuated

I love to read. In fact I'm a book addict. I have all kinds of books at home. From language books to travel books to cookbooks, comic books, reference books, decorating books, romance novels, mystery novels, you name it, I have it. I have always dreamed of having a big library full of books, where I could get lost and read every single day. Wherever I go, I always bring a book with me. It's like my wedding band, without it, I'd feel naked. No kidding!

Right now, I'm addicted to suspense/mystery novels. My new favorite authors are Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. They are like tandem writers and they have written at least 15 (?) pocketbooks together. I just love their style. Their stories are like Micheal Crichton's but much much better. They have created a character that I find so interesting, he's called "Agent Pendergast". He's a mixture of James Bond slash McGyver slash Robert Langdon slash Sherlock Holmes slash Harry Houdini etc. I don't know exactly how I could describe him, all I know is that he' s excellent and extremely intelligent! It's like he's indestructible! They made a trilogy about this character and 3 more (or 4?) other pocketbooks which i think are all very well written and very exciting. Too bad I've already finished reading all of them, so It's kinda sad... but I've heard that there will be a new one coming out in May *yay!* Can't wait for that one.


How about you? Do you love to read? And what kind of books do you read?...
