Online Shopping

They say that you need to save at least 20% of your salary for the future.

In order to at least get near the 20%, I try to avoid going to malls, choosing to stay home instead to avoid temptation. But the curious shopper in me, refuses to rest. I find myself going through a lot of websites and drool over the clothes and bags. If you think all I do is save pictures, think again, thanks/no thanks to paypal, my retail therapy goes to online shopping. My three weakness?

1. Ebay with its value for money purchases. Sellers, stop selling lovely things at cheaper than mall prices x_x

2. Apple. App purchases and in app purchases (Anyone agree with me for Smurf and Snoopy? I have had multiple five dollar purchases.) Itunes recently launch their music store locally. uh-oh. If I want a song badly, I may be tempted to just click the Buy for 99cents button. 

3. Discount coupons. The thought of getting things at a fraction of the cost is so tempting. Take that of my article on Pisobid where I was a victim of getting things at 99% cost.

From the time couponing sites began, I have availed of the following:
AVAILED:
- 3 Red Mango yogurt
- 8 Viking Breakfast Buffet
- 6 Yoshinoya
- 2 Stronghand Shooting Range
- 6 Shilin

EXPIRED:
- 1 Fotosnaps Photobook

NEW
- 4 Sumosan

If you will notice the trend, majority are restaurants - my family loves to eat :)

Finally, my latest purchase from Metrodeal - a night lamp that shows off stars. Do I need it? No. Is it useful? Maybe. Is it cute? Yes. Press purchase.

I was a little apprehensive when I got the package. It was too light duty. Flimsy. I could have bought this for Php 100. If you know what I mean. We were asked to choose a color and yet they just delivered blue to us. The lamp looked like a knock off of an original products since there are unusable functions. The real test will happen when I get home- after I put in the batteries and if it does work, the way it will illuminate my room.


Here's a sample of the illumination. The star is kind of blurred when reflected but makes a big difference in a dark room.

Starry starry night, tonight!

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Mo Twister, Narnia and Bitch Smile

December 3, 2010 Today we got a surprise visit from Mo Twister and Rhian Ramos. Noj had business meeting with him and he toured them around the office. We managed to get a quick picture with him before they left. Kevin with Rhian Ramos. He's quite red from all the attention he's getting. Group picture with Mo. My height: 5' 3 1/2". Outfit post: black cardigan from f21 rompers from landmark chain belt from Mango tights from Samsung Fashion shoes from Rubi We also got free tickets for Narnia tonight. It was okay. The best part about the movie is that I got to see snow again(The movie was in 3D). We arrived quite late and I missed the first 10 minutes but my brother told me nothing much happened. I did miss a few great 3D effects. Ended the night with dinner at Recipes with Noj, April, Finj, Em, Rommel and Donna. Where Donna once again practiced her "bitch smile" aka Heart Evangelista smile. Hipstamatic pictures using Em's Iphone. Drool! I want one but it co...
