Soundscape #23: "I Like Big Bags And I Cannot Lie"

What's In My Bag*, January 2007.

I don't understand how some girls function with just a teeny weeny handbag that looks big enough to stuff in a matchbox. And the amazing thing is that if you look into these bags, you'd find their phones, makeup things and even an umbrella! I don't know how they do it; my bags are huge! My biggest bag is probably big enough to transport body parts. Even the smallest bag I have (above) is still a good half the length of my leg.

Pictured above is a scaled-down version of "what's in my bag" (a popular stream on Flickr). Usually there are more stuff but I guess the essentials are above...except for the cd; someone had lent it to me. I forgot my water bottle that day but usually I have a bottle of water in my bag. A book is important too, for those bus rides. I need to have 2 notebooks and a planner. And still, I forget things. Thumbdrive, sunglasses, sweets, hmm what else? oh. Those who know me will know what the M&Ms are for. :)

I couldn't find any songs about big bags, so I thought a good substitute would be a light-hearted mix you can use as background noise while shopping. It will put you in a good mood!
