January 16, 2012 by Janey

Albeit 8 days late, as usual you know how my busy schedule gets my mind all mixed up lately, I’m finally announcing the winner of Bagahollic Bags Banana / Banane Taipei Contest! Thank you for your kind patience (sounds like a restaurant on its soft opening)!

Thank you for all your entries. Not a bad turnout despite the busy holidays and people being out of the country or out of town and all. Below are the entries who made it to the shortlist, top favorites:

Banana / Banane Taipei, Swagger Your Tote! Plus a contest.

December 12, 2011 by Janey

As you can see from this photo, I love shoes and bags among other things.

By other things, I generally mean traveling and eating… okay, MOSTLY EATING (get off my case now will ya? Hahaha). That is the reason why my 2010 Christmas wish list reflects my affection for all things beautiful and cutesy in shoes and bags. I am quite blessed to have scratched most (90%) of the items on my wish list last year. And unexpectedly, just coupla weeks back, I’m scratching another item from the list. Sometimes they say, when you wish hard enough, the universe conspires to grant your good heart’s desire.

Thanks Richard for this photo! 🙂

One of the bags I have been eye-loving for a while back is an ORIGINAL Banana Taipei bag. Tote bags are so useful and what I particularly adore about Banana / Banane Taipei bags is that it has the most coveted bag strikingly printed on the canvass like you’re using an actual Birkin. The aesthetic illusion of a Birkin in a lightweight, eco-friendly material is just the chicest tote to carry around. My Canon 60D DLSR fits inside, which is perfect since I don’t need to carry a bulky camera bag around.

Melty Kiss Rum

June 25, 2009 by Janey

My colleague and good friend KZ is back in town. She was in Macau, Hong Kong and Shanghai for 2 weeks plus the company policy of 7-day quarantine made me miss her all the more. Of course, she doesn’t miss the work.

She loved Shanghai. She beat me to it. I’ve always wanted to go. I guess a trip to Beijing is first on the list, that being more a cultural trip. But Shanghai is definitely the next stop in China.

KZ brought home a favorite of mine again, Meiji Melty Kiss. A lot of people grope about how good Royce chocolates are (including me!) but it was Meiji that started my affection for Japanese chocolates. The thin Meiji Black Chocolate bar was my first Japanese sweetheart.

It’s my first time to try Meiji Melty Kiss Rum and it is so sinfully good. It reminded me of this blueberry-flavored melt-in-your-mouth-chocolates that I bought in Japan (I bought two bags of chocolates from Japan, cocoa addicts raise your hand!!!). I didn’t realize rum could taste similar to blueberry.

Thanks KZ!
