Penguin Classics Get a New Look!

Book stores are love :) I like spending time just browsing the shelves and mentally listing down titles I'd want to add to my book collection.

Well, I was casually looking through the books at National the other day when I chanced upon the coolest book covers ever!

What are they? They're some of our favorite Penguin Classics! Aren't they adorable?? I am so in love with these new covers, I wanted one for myself right then and there! But the hefty price tag on these and the fact that I already own a copy stopped me from another impulsive purchase. Hehe :P

My favorite of all the covers would have to be Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. See the drastic change from the boring cover on the left to the new age, graphic-inspired one on the right. I love it!

Here's the front and back panel of the book:

They are sooooo pretty! It just goes to show that Classics doesn't have to be boring! Besides, these books are some of the best stories I have ever read and I'm so happy they are given a modern spin. Makes me hopeful that more kids would want to read them too :)

For now, National Bookstore is the only store I've seen these in. They retail for more than 6oophp each. So sorry I didn't get to note the artist behind these masterpieces but from what I remember, he's a famous Spanish painter :)

Give me a heads-up if you see other Classics with these new covers okay? I want to see them all! :) Thanks PK girls!

Cookies for Santa

Just a few more days 'til the contest closes! Do you have an entry already?

Christmas is fast approaching and I'm starting to obsess over everything Christmassy! Out goes my fun-colored semi-winter outfits, vanilla-scented perfume, giggly disposition and craving for anything and everything sweet!

Well, we dropped by my favorite membership store, S&R, last weekend and I got myself the perfect cookies to leave for Santa this Christmas eve:

I was so happy when I saw this on the shelves! I used to get these at Duty Free but since I haven't gone abroad this year, buying this has been a dream.

I'm not a big oreo fan because one, I don't particularly love chocolate and two, I don't eat the filling. Hehe :P But these golden oreos are something else! I love them so much, I actually eat everything, with filling and all!

I don't know what's with the taste but I honestly think this is better than the original oreos. I'm not sure if it's vanilla or milk flavored, it's just... white. Let's not try to discover what's making it taste wonderful, it'll just ruin the effect. hehe!

I'm so glad I found these in time for Christmas! These are the perfect Christmas cookies for Santa! If you see this in the supermarket, don't double guess yourself. Grab one immediately! It is soooooooo good!

Advance Merry Christmas everyone!

Starbucks Christmas Decor

Got an entry for the PK contest? Submit now!

There are a lot of reasons I love hanging out in coffee shops. And one of them is the joy of finding cute new stuff! Look what I found at Starbucks:

What are those?

The CUTEST christmas decors! They're small Starbucks cups tied to a ribbon that you can hang your Christmas trees! They are soooooo cute!

I am so obsessing over the red cup, especially since I often buy my coffee hot. It's so cute! I want to decorate my entire tree with these! Love it!

Each one retails for 199php :)
