I also had to look for the vest and Hello Kitty bag for my costume (both of which shall be turned into Christmas gifts afterwards, so the expense was worth it). I was left with about 2 hours of free time before the party, so I went over to Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf at Tomas Morato because it was near the party venue and I had internet access there. I had my whole day already planned so I bought a supply of yarn for this particular time.
