Black is the new black.

I went on a shopping trip with my mom today and she bought me very lovely things. I love my mom. she loves shopping as much as I do. but maybe even more, if that's possible. having said that, she's probably the best shopping partner I have.

she got me these:



and this:



=D

I finally have a 'staple' bag. it matches everything! the bag costs $244, but we used $240 worth of Taka vouchers. $4 for the bag is a steal and I am a very happy person.

oh when I came home and looked out the window, there were these 2:



2 black birds sitting ominously on the cables next to my neighbour's house. it's now 10pm and I came home at 8. THEY ARE STILL THERE. I don't understand how they can just SIT THERE and do nothing.

and my final black report today is:


WASHINGTON (AFP) – The groom wore a black tuxedo, a damask-rose pink waistcoat and tie, and an ear-to-ear smile.

He picked out his wedding outfit at a mall in Virginia -- his first time ever in one of the sprawling shopping centers that are monuments to consumerism in the suburban landscape across the United States.

During his 14 years living homeless on the streets of Washington, Dante White, 28, never realized that so much opulence existed. Nor had he had much luck in love in his life, having been thrown out of his mother's home when he was just 14.

Last week, White married Nhiahni Chestnut, 39, a woman whose battles with drugs and alcohol had left her on the streets of the US capital as well. Both are unemployed.

"I was basically living from day to day, trying to survive, and I wound up meeting him," Chestnut told AFP at the couple's wedding, held in the tiny chapel of Grace Episcopal Church in Washington's Georgetown neighborhood.

"Something clicked, the chemistry was there," said the bride, dressed in a flowing white ensemble with a pink flower.

"We've been together ever since. That was nine years ago. He was outside. It kind of clicked because we were in kind of the same situation. We started hanging out with each other, talking," she said.

The two also frequented a Bible study and meal program run by Grace Episcopal Church on Saturdays. It was there, a few months ago, that White, 28, revealed to a parishioner how much he wished he could afford to marry the woman who had brought light into his life on the streets.

"This is beyond my wildest dreams. This is exactly how I wanted my wedding to be," said the bride.

SUCH LOVE.




EDIT:

it is now exactly 12:01am and the birds are still there.

FOUR HOURS?! who knows what time they started sitting there?!

I'll be damned if they are still there when day breaks.
