It took me some time to remember the last bag I bought.
I knew I bought a Benetton Sling Bag blue back in 2004 at a discount.
My sister reminded me that I was the one who bought our bright pink Nike backpack from my mom.
I remembered I bought a small gold purse for a wedding in 2009.
But that's about it recently, I think. The bags I've been using were given to me or to us, siblings.
The bags I used while I was working before were either from unsold stocks of my mom or seldom used bags of my mom.
When I started in my current profession as a lawyer and teacher, the bags I've been using were previously owned by my mom.
I have no complaints, mind you. I am just happy that I still get to use stuff from my mom and do away buying new stuff for myself. I prefer it that way.
Lately, I was fine using those bags that were not that big to fit the books I bring to school . I was okay with that since I figured that the bigger bag I carry, the higher probability that I will put more things in there. And that means bad for the shoulder and the back.
When my sister was asked by my aunt what kind of bag I would probably want as pasalubong, my sister suggested a somewhat big bag to fit my stuff, such as books, so that I would not need to carry paper bags every now and then.
And so, just last night, I found out my pasalubong.
And I love it! It's actually an early Christmas gift from my cousins Mika and AJ.
I am not a big fan of Jessica Simpson but I just like this bag, knowing that people who care about me put some thought when they made this purchase.
Yesterday and today was actually some sort of a Jessica Simpson day - I read about her engagement, heard her song "A Public Affair" over the radio which should be rare nowadays, and then, I have this bag ;)
One thing for sure - I will be constantly aware not to put too much stuff in there ;)
