Gift Baskets Online

One of my male friends is going to celebrate his birthday tomorrow. Yet here I am, still not able to go to the mall and buy a gift for him. I got so much to do today and I don't think I'd still be able to go out. How I wish I have a credit card so I can just get gift basket ideas online and purchase whatever I like for him.

Red Envelope has this selection of gift basket ideas where you can sort out whatever is suited to your birthday celebrant. Or if there are events that needed a gift basket, you can just choose on the categories they have listed.

Shopping online is always the easiest and the most convenient way especially if there's no more time to go shopping to malls. I better get myself a credit card soon so I won't have to worry about gifts when the need to give arises. :D

Well, I guess I don't have a choice but to find time to go to the mall tomorrow.

Itching About Shopping Online

A friend of mine just started an online business recently. She's selling clothes, bags, wallets and accessories online. I'm crazy about the Korean dresses that she has been showcasing online. I'm so itching to acquire one of those beautiful dresses. And the accessories that's on sale right now, including the artcarved jewelries, they really look nice on the pictures. I hope they really are beautiful for real. :) They are in cheaper prices now. How I wish I already have enough money to shop online. Unfortunately, I still have to stick to my budget. Sigh. I have to refrain myself from looking into her website. Or else, I will be spending for something I still don't really need right now. LOL!

Shopping And Money's Worth

Like all the other women, I love shopping. It makes me feel relaxed especially if I get stressed out at work or if there's something that bothers me. I love shopping but not to the extent of spending every bit of my money without thinking about my money's worth. I'm not the typical shop-til-you-drop kind of girl. Besides, I don't have that much to spend anyway. :D

Shopping for me is more like an investment. I have to make sure that I get my money's worth from whatever stuff I buy from malls or online. I make sure that the quality of the product I purchase is worth the price. Just like purchasing bags. I very seldom buy bags, even if they're not that expensive. I have to make sure that I'd be able to use it in any occasions or even just for an ordinary day. Designer line like that of marc by marc jacobs is a good example of an investment since they offer authentic and distinctive designs.

For someone like me who wants to look forever youthful, I am so enticed about purchasing one of marc jacobs handbags. I am actually eying one that's available online right now. Their designs from clothing to accessories to handbags are really cool yet sophisticated.

Right now, I'm really tight on my budget. I'm gonna be back from being shopaholic when I get my first paycheck! I'm now excited about going back to work and be able to get myself back in track into the shopping world! :)

Shopping Buddy...

I did some shopping yesterday with my friend, Raquel. I needed to buy stuffs for this weekend's event. I was already worried about my budget. Since I'm jobless, I need to be very careful with my spending. I'm glad Raquel was with me yesterday. I was able to buy the things I need in a cheap and reasonable price.

She brought me to St. Francis Mall. They actually have almost everything over there. From accessories to clothing and shoes, even nice maternity clothing and summer wears are all over the place. Raquel was even very good in bidding the prices down. I'm just so happy she was with me. I was able to buy extra clothes because I ended up having enough money to buy them!

We made a deal that if we are going to shop again, we have to go together! Raquel indeed is one of the best shopping buddy ever! :D

Shopped At Gingersnaps Warehouse

Night market at Pasig City was canceled yesterday. It was all my fault. So Judith, Julie and I ended up going home early after. We we're able to go to Gingersnaps warehouse though, which is also located in Pasig City. It was a long ride but it's all worth it. I was able to buy skirts at very low prices! Unfortunately, we got there an hour before the warehouse closes. So we really weren't able to buy a lot of clothes. We hope to go back there soon and do our best to be there earlier.

Here are some photos with my girl friends! :D

I always enjoy being with these friends of mine! It's fun knowing that you can share and do something fun with real friends!

Loosing Weight And Changing Wardrobe

Loosing weight is a feat for me. Pushing myself on the treadmill until I almost run out of breath, doing the crunches and carrying the weights available is really exhausting. But I can say that it's rewarding. As what a friend of mine told me, to achieve better results in working out, one must push himself to the limit! All the pain that I experience during this workout sessions gets paid off because I really feel great about my health! Unconsciously, I was able to encourage some of my workmates to workout since they notice the results! :D

Now that I'm slimmer, I think I have to somehow change my wardrobe. Most of my pants are lose and my shirts and blouses looked large on me now. I already have plans of shopping next month. I might get myself branded clothes like that of coogi clothing for a better and comfy fit.

Working out really does wonders! It really feels good to be fit and fab! :D

Holidays Are Coming, So Are Bonuses! :D

Holidays are coming so are bonuses and the 13th month pay! Employees like me are excited not only the upcoming holidays but most especially the money that we're about to earn! Shopping mall are more likely going to be packed with people who'll take advantage of the mall sales! The cashiers' barcode scanner will also going to be heard all around the mall for sure!

I have a lot of things in mind that I would love to buy for myself but I also have to think about saving my money for my homecoming this December.

I hope I can get enough blessings to fit my budget before this year ends! :D

Spending Plans For Year-End Bonus

The year-end holidays are fast approaching. It's the time of the year when employees get to receive year-end bonuses. This is the time when gift giving and shopping is in the air! As for me and my workmates, we all have our individual plans on how to spend our bonuses. Some are planning to buy household appliances, some of us want to spend it for a luxurious vacation with their loved ones and friends, some wanted to spend it for gadgets such as camera, phones, I even heard someone say she wants to buy and ipad. She wanted to get a tablet computer for herself. She's just crazy about Apple technology, I guess. When she heard about a bigger touchscreen, she went gaga over it.

As for me, I'm attending my cousin's wedding this December back in the province. So I'm one of those who's going to spend my year-end bonus for homecoming. I still hope I can buy myself a camera though.

Shopping Spree At MOA

During Kuya Scotty's (Lainy's fiance) visit here in Manila, I escorted them to the 3rd biggest mall in Asia - The SM Mall of Asia. He told me that back in Sydney, Australia, clothes are much expensive. When he saw the cheaper prices at the men's clothes at the department store, he didn't think twice about shopping. He bought a lot of men's polo shirts that he can use during Church service and also got himself signature jackets that he can use during winter in Australia. He's not going to be back here for a while so he took advantage of buying the clothes that he needed.

It was a tiring day but it was all worth the while. I was able to get to know Kuya Scotty and was able spend time with Lainy! :D

Updates And Green Shopping...

Today is my rest day! I had enough sleep and I'm so happy about it! I was planning to render overtime at work today but decided otherwise. I'm going to do my household and blogging chores today. My room is not at all messy but just needed a little cleaning. Oh! I forgot to tell you all that my room mate, Joanna, already left the apartment to take care of her Grandma who had a stroke. She resigned from work to prioritize her family. I miss my room mate but I have to carry on! :D

I have enough space in my room now but my brother, Florante and his wife might move in. So I'm probably won't be alone anymore by next week. That is if they won't change their minds about moving in with me.

Anyways, later on is time for me to buy some groceries at a mall nearby. It's green shopping day today since the mall will be using paper bags for groceries. No plastic bags on Wednesdays. It's the malls small contribution to greener environment. I better bring my own bag, though, for my groceries. I'm having a hard time with the paper bags actually. :D
