Bag education of the unwilling

I just had to chuckle after my hubbs narrated to me the short story coming right up that obviously just goes to show how my incessant bag talk has been permeating into his subconscious unwittingly.

Get this -- he actually asked a colleague if the 'Spy' bag she was carrying was real!!!

Yes, I agree, he needs to be more tactful next time but he said he just wanted to know, so he asked. Haha! But whatever, he actually noticed a bag and recognized it as a Fendi Spy design!

I can't begin to tell you how I whooped like mad at home when he told me this story. It's incredible, given how he always rolls his eyes when I start my bag chatter. And all the while, he was actually listening! Awww!

Anyway, the colleague answered that she didn't think her bag was authentic but used it anyway cos it was a gift from someone. And of course she asked him back how come he even knows about Spy bags.

His answer: Well, I almost bought one for my wife! (He says 'almost' cos I went for the Miu Miu Coffer instead and saved him a pretty amount as a result!)

Good eye there, dear! Now lets get you to identify a Birken! ;-)

Just in case you were wondering, this is how a Fendi Spy handbag looks like:

I just got a link to the above website and well, it's been a fascinating/dreadful read so far. It's a site that basically discourages would-be immigrants from choosing Canada as a place of destination, citing racism and a lack of appropriate jobs for highly skilled, new citizens as the top drawbacks, among others.

It also says that as 'the Government of Canada and Canadian immigration lawyers don't accurately reflect the reality of the country', then the site has 'decided to provide an accurate view of the problems and issues that exist in Canada for immigrants'.

If you know of anyone mulling prospects of moving permanently to Canada (quite a huge group seeing as how every adult Filipino, I think, can count at least one person in his immediate circle who is currently thinking of hightailing it to Canada), get them to check out the site so they know what they may be up against.
