no such thing

i completely failed gettind D's birthday present this year. not only did he pick his own gift, he ended up buying it too -_- trust me, it's not that i didn't try. i left work one morning, rush to the store in the casino where we first saw it only to find it closed. i was lucky enough to be able to speak to the lady through the glass doors, not so lucky when she told me 'no such thing' o_O then J was kind enough to offer to look for it since he was in the city but since i could not find a picture online and i could only attempt to explain it. he didn't know which one but went to look anyway. the week before D's birthday, Gucci finally posts something similar on their site so J goes again to find it. the lady tell him 'no such thing'. that's it, we're screwed. his birthday came and went and i told D, we can't find it; they say there is 'no such thing'. could it be we saw something else?? did i imagine seeing it?? 

there was one store however that i didn't go to. it was the one closest to D's office and today he decided he would drop by the store and have a look. low and behold it's there @#%#@#%& basket... so to save me the hassle of going down to the city, he buys it himself. *sigh* on the bright side, he likes his gift.... just didn't think he had to buy it himself first.

my bling bling

i was never really the biggest fan of watches but the earliest memory i have of my first watch was when my dad brought home this small little red, black and green round face watch. i loved it to pieces but of course have no recollection of what happened to it in the end. now that i'm older and when i think of it, it was actually a gucci watch - real or not i'll never know. i'm guessing at that age, probably not. *grin* after that i changed watches whenever the battery died. yes, i'm just terrible like that.

now a watch that would last much much longer than all my other watches. something that could possibly be worth passing down to my daughter one day and not one i would just put aside when the battery dies. my own tag heuer ladies ceramic formula 1 watch with some bling bling! happy happy
do you remember your first watch?
