The Red Shoe Box.

I swear to you, I must have done something really good in my past life to have the kind of friends that I have now.

If you know me, I have a million and one projects up my sleeves. It's either for Waldorf School, Alay ng Puso Orphanage, tree planting and such....And I have to tell you honestly, there's always a handful of my friends who continually provide moral and financial support to all these endeavors.

So what do I do when CYT, who donates her time and hard earned money to my fundraising projects, who never fails to reprimand me about my long pending annulment, my THEN chaotic love life and my need for the best cheesecake, sends me this wonderful red Valentino shoe box?

After hyperventilating, I was able to open the box and see these 4 inch high, nude colored Valentino shoes that sends chills up my spine.


Like Cinderella, I tried them on...slowly...


Stood up and instantly fell in love.

I sat down, took them off, wrapped them up once again and said a little prayer...

Dear God,

Thank you for giving me a Mom and Dad that molded me into who I am today. I guess they did a good job for me to deserve such good friends in my life. Please continue to bless them so that they may bless me with more awesome shoes. Also, thank you for making CYT a size 8, just like me.

Love, Candy

Closet Queen!

Last week NP asked Dennis Lustico and I to come over and help her out with her photo shoot which was happening the week after. Talking about not cramming, which is what I would do.

NP and I have a very good connection which I often joke about with her and her daughters. I have proclaimed myself a daughter therefore what belongs to NP also belong to me. I know that this is really a one sided deal with my side being the winner but it is only in her home when I can truly feel my blue blooded royalty status as Queen.

Seriously though, I love her. She is warm, funny, crazy just like me and has a very generous heart. She and my Mom also got along quite well. I miss my Mom so much but it's women like NP that eases the pain of not having one anymore.

Anyway, let me show you some of my favorite things in our kingdom, for that day at least.

This Valentino bag is to be HANGED for!!!


Fell in love with this AMcQ scarf.
This is NP, when she likes one thing, she will buy it in all the colors available. Valentino scarves that Dennis adored. Missing in this photo is the black one.
Of course, I had to try on EVERYTHING that I could. It's not often that I can play like this.
The earrings and brooch are ooozing with brilliance. Same goes with the brain. BWA HA HA !!!
THE Chanel closet. Nothing but this brand is allowed in this one.
Gulp. There were so much more...I am telling you, SO MUCH MORE but I just couldn't do it! Dennis wasn't helping me lay out the bags. I could only do so much!
As Dennis put it, the whole Africa is in the house. I didn't get to include the scarves and shoes that match.
H marks the spot. With a few Chanel bags included, for all the Hermes lovers out there, this is probably better than an orgasm but for me, I am still a Chanel girl. Maybe because it starts with C.
Never been used. This is so far, my favorite.

Upon arriving home, there is no doubt that I am merely a small time Queen in a far far away place that no one has ever heard off compared to Her Royal Highness, NP.

Next time, I promise to be more masipag and try to document it ALL!!! Shoes, bags, accessories and JEWELRY!!!
