Sweet Honesty

Me, Shie and Zeny went out last Sunday to catch things up, (and of course it's Shie's birthday Monday). Zeny finally arrived at around 4pm and we finally arrived at Shie's house around 4:15pm. It was sooo hot in South City where i live so i was just wearing slippers and when we arrived in Daly City where Shie lives, it was so freaking cold. Dang! i should have known! It's always cold in Daly City. Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall. Thank goodness i always wear jacket, hot or cold weather.

We went to Westlake to try the newly opened branch of Gerry's Grill, but it was still early, they open at 5:30 pm and we came like, around 5pm, so instead of waiting in the cold, we decided to stroll around. And to my surprise, there was an Avon branch there! i was so excited coz my mom used to be an Avon Lady when we were still in the P.I and i practically grew up using Avon Products. i know its not that famous here in the US but still it brings back some nostalgic-- rather good memories of my childhood and my home.

I was so glad that they have Sweet Honesty -- it was an Avon brand perfume that i used, wore and never get tired of having when i was still in P.I. It has been years that i am trying to find this brand here, and finally, i have one again! i was so thrilled that i bought the perfume spray and the skin softening cream and they only cost like $10 bucks! imagine??? It's price is like a sales tax of one of my Escada's! It's really cheap and i am loving it all over again!

I've mentioned this before with MC some month's (or year's??) back when we were like chatting that i really love Sweet Honesty and was trying to find one here. And she said something like -- You can already afford Chanels and Versace, why the heck are you trying to buy an Avon brand perfume -- i have not found the answer yet to that question until now that i finally got one -- it's got the simplicity and sweetness that i yearn for. Just like me, Simple and Sweet (Eww..) THEN. lol.

So finally we were able to dine at Gerry's Grill and it was superb. Just like what Zeny said, we've finished eating our food about 15 mins after it was served. lol. Kanya kanya muna 'ika nga. To sum it up, it was a fun-tastic day -- girl bonding with friends, a little trip down my memory lane and fine dining. What more could i ask for, right? Its days like this that i am so thankful and greatful that i am alive and surviving all the storms heading my way.(and oopps, I just hope that shie liked my present. )
