What's In Your Bag: The Graphic Designer

It's been so long since I've done a proper post. Blame it on the sudden glitch of my blog. It has always shown post summaries (in contrast to full posts) until last Thursday. All of a sudden, biglang puro full posts na! I don't like showing full posts kasi parang ang sikip-sikip ng page ko. Worse, all of my most recent posts are long, so puno entire page. Ayun, gulo-gulo buhay.

And whatever I did did not make any change to the blog. I even submitted a query to the Google forum. Someone suggested that my blog could have had javascript errors (#nosebleed), pero wala talaga. I debugged (and debugged forevermore), pero wala pa rin. Until I decided to just revert everything to default and added this script from http://www.blogxpertise.com/, and - guess what - it worked! Hay nako, expert ka talaga! I'm really so happy now.

When you blog, it's really a must that you know the basics of coding. Kahit copy-copy lang. At least you understand what you're doing. Now, kung hindi na kaya, let's leave it to the professionals, like my friend, Teena. You met her already when I reunioned with my friends in Abreeza (read about it here).

You read about our OOTDs (pagbigyan nyo na kami), but what you did not know was we also took photos of Teena's bag's contents for a WIYB (what's in your bag) post. Well, actually, George and Teena took photos while I was breastfeeding Y. Hehe.

So what's inside a graphic designer's bag? Here are what Teena brings inside her bag:

Taken at a couch in Abreeza's lounge :B

1. Notebook
Teena never leaves without toting a notebook. Back in college, the notebooks are primarily for classes and meetings. Now, it's for work.

2. Gucci Sunglasses
Kashe mainit. Ahahahaha (what else are sunglasses for?)

3. Hair Curlers
For the kikay in Teena. But I'm baffled. San mo to gagamitin? Ahahaha

4. iPad 3
Teena is the Gadget Queen. She has all Apple products, methinks. The only Apple product I own is nothing. #truestory. But I guess gadgets are a must for people who work in the app development industry, amayright?

5. Nexus Tablet Cover
I'm wondering about this, too. Do you also have a Nexus tablet??

6. Eyeglasses
Almost all of my friends have eye problems (except me). She wears contacts sometimes, but I guess she also needs sunglasses. Oh, I remember that time when she wore "alien-slash-big eye" contacts. Harhar.

7. Vaseline Lotion
Trivia: She never ever leaves the house without bringing with her a tub of lotion. Since back in college, she's always had this habit. And she doesn't buy small bottles ha. Dala nya talaga yung main lotion nya.

Plus, she also slathers lotion on herself when she's bored. Weird no? Hahaha :P

8. Daycraft Animaland Planner
Oooh, this is my belated birthday gift! I was actually lusting over it when I wrapped it. Ang cute nya kasi, plus it has a lot of cute features inside. Maybe I'll have this planner next year in lieu of my traditional BDJ. 

9. Kipling Purse
It's all about the money. Yeah.

10. Passport
She needed to work in Vietnam last year, which explains the passport. Since then, she has been to a lot of countries (4 or 5?) already. Jetsetter you!

*Not in photo: iPhone (4 or 4s? not sure) - She was charging her phone when George took photos. :P
* Also not in photo: Macbook Air

The bag owner

That's it! I wonder who I can barage next for a WIYB post. Knowing the fact that I'm just home most of the time, it would probably just be my bag. Hahahahaokay #poorme.

What's inside my diaper bag?

What’s-in-my-bag posts always amuse me. I'm a naturally curious person and I would love to root around someone's bag to guess his or her character and personality. For example, someone who likes reading almost always have a tattered copy of a book in her bag. A techie person will have gadgets and wires all over. Anyway, because I’m amused with this kind of posts, I decided to have my own, too – this time, it’s what’s in my diaper bag.

I know, I know. What I wrote above is just a lame attempt to show you the contents of my diaper bag. I’m not even sorry! Haha! What’s in my diaper bag? Here they are:

My pink and brown Baby Couture diaper bag

An insulated pocket where I put Yuri's bottle -- if we bring one

Diaper mats -- one came with the diaper bag and one from the department store, which just costs P49 (teehee)

Details (macro haha)

Shawl -- in a distracting, orange color -- for emergency coverups

Y's record books from our pedia's clinic and from the Barangay Center

Extra mittens and bibs -- I don't know why I still bring a pair of mittens since Y doesn't use them anymore

Health care essentials -- Hygienix hand sanitizer, Cortizan cream for eczema, Diacare diaper cream (same bottle since he was born!), pen for signing autographs, digital thermometer, baby-sized cotton buds

All of which are placed inside the clear pouch that came with the diaper bag

Travel-sized wipes are a must!

And travel-sized wipes for hands and face

Just three diapers to last the whole day -- Y poops just twice a week (Before you ask, no, he's not constipated. That's normal for breastfed kids.)

Extra rompers -- I learned my lesson when Y accidentally pooped on his clothes in the clinic. :D

Extra shorts if he's wearing onesies

I also used to bring Y's pacifier, too, but he doesn't like using it.

So, there. Those are the contents of my diaper bag. What else should I have? I'm open to suggestions. How about you? What's in your diaper bag?

* This post has been sitting on my drafts since last week. I didn't post it yet because I felt I would be changing something in my blog -- and there really was!
