i was born to shop

the birch run shopping experience was simply fantastic. imagine a cluster of factory outlets housing the biggest brand names, including ralph lauren, guess, calvin klein, gap, levi's, adidas and nike. it's a shopaholic's wet dream. woohoo! a total of $222 was spent, but total satisfaction wasn't achieved. i still want a hoodie. i guess i'm too demanding.

the weather hasn't been kind, with the temperatures plunging. and it's set to plunge even lower than scarlett johansson's neckline. the leaves are yellowing and dying, but it's such a breathtaking sight. the irony in death.

we had dinner at frankenmuth, a renowned tourist trap. a mediocre dinner costed us $20, but i guess we were paying for the construction costs for an entire town built using german architecture. boo!

the funky foursome of wenjie, shaoning, me and vincent.

oh, the steals and deals! banana republic pants for $20 each, two-for-$10 fossil tees, a $10 fossil belt, CK tie and belt...

i just got soccer boots for the heck of it. it's cheap, fun, and useful if i play on the field. hesitation went out the window.

and the coolest sneaks in the store! so far three people (including a random stranger in a pimped-up ride) have complimented this pair. it makes me happy, because it reaffirms my belief in my sole sense.

now, for that illusive hoodie...
