The Simple Life: Muji, Philippines

My first encounter with Muji was in Hong Kong, and instantly I was sold on its "simple life, minimalist style" philosophy. They finally opened a store in the Philippines last year (or was it 2009? I forget), and now they have several branches around the city.

I have a few Muji pieces at my place, and Rissee and I got matching "couple" boots from there for our trip to Korea last year. I also love their travel stuff - especially since I could really use some help with organizing my stuff when I travel.

MUJIBeauty has a special promo this month, so do check it out!

Paris, je t'aime.

...was the subject line that greeted me when I checked my email this morning. As it turns out, Air Asia will be flying to Paris beginning Valentine's Day next year, and to celebrate, they're holding a promo from today until the 24th for flights from Kuala Lumpur to Paris at PhP 7,000.00!

The Type 7 - Enthusiast in me is dying to book a flight (promo fares are available for flights between February to November 2011), but as I'm starting a new job next year and don't have a lot of savings yet, I'll hold off until 2012. Good to know that flying from Asia to Paris on the cheap is finally a possibility now though, right?

Coincidentally, "Girlfriend" by Phoenix has been on repeat on my iPod these past few days, and I was in a club with friends Saturday night and the DJ played "1901", and to my surprise, everyone started singing along (well, at least to the "Hey, hey hey, hey" part). And since I've had Paris on my mind all day today, here's some French music to accompany some Paris dreaming.
