Bad? Well, not really. My friends are completely aware that if there is one vice that I cannot shake, it is shopping. I am always on the lookout for sales and I am unabashedly subscribed to all my fave brand’s mailing lists. Just so I know when something nice and used to be expensive is on sale.
Most recently….like 2 days ago….I purchased this online.
I was watching it closely (and I mean so closely I was logging on every night for the last 2 months) until it finally went on sale. Without thinking twice, I bagged it! Woot!
I have several items on my watchlist now and I am itching to get my hands on them soon. Never mind if some fashion purveryors will scoff at my “last season” purchases. I don’t follow trends anyway.
So this brings me to Cyber Monday. One of my most anticipated events this side of the cyber universe. I can’t wait to find out if some of my fave brands are going on sale.
I know I need a new watch. And a bag too. And maybe a couple of pairs of shoes. And those caftans I love too….Geez..I really need to have a garage sale. Gotta make space.

My husband and I are travelling again in a month’s time!!
YAHOO!!!
And the reason why we’re leaving is to fulfill our need for….not speed….our need for some retail therapy. YAHOO again!!
We’re going to the land of shopping, Hongkong, for the 2nd time this year. And we’re going when POS systems are on overdrive….the grand Hongkong sale season. YAHOO for the 3rd time!!
I haven’t been to HK during the sale season but according to my shopping buddy a.k.a. “the hubs”, shopping there is fantastic as everything goes on sale. EVERYTHING!! OMG, I can’t wait. I’ve set a limit to my spending these days so I have enough moolah to spend when I get there.
Hongkong….I’m coming back!!! Be ready…be very ready!

We finally made it. After a year of no travelling, we were finally able to book ourselves on a flight. And after much deliberating, we finally took the kids to Singapore. One of our favorite places to visit, bar none.
.
It all started out rather fuzzily. I was surfing the net one evening when I chanced upon a great deal on airline tickets to visit the land of the Merlion. Without thinking more than 2 minutes, I immediately booked 4 tickets for us. When I told my kids, they were just beyond excitement. I showed them some Singapore pictures online and they got even more excited. There were pictures of the zoo and Singapore’s island wonderland, Sentosa. They just couldn’t wait.
.
After a month of waiting, we finally packed our bags and left. I really swear by the airport at Clark in Angeles. Flying from there is so stress free compared to Manila.

Oh no…she’s at it again. After the moratorium lost its steam, I’m back to doing one of my favorite things in the world. Shopping!!
.
And what better time to do it..but now. My sister is leaving for the States in a few weeks and I already have a kilometric list of everything I’m going to ask her to buy. But to be fair to her, I’ve already made some advance purchases and had them sent to my other sister who lives in the States.
.
Thank heavens for some wonderful online shopping sites, I was able to get some really good stuff that were on sale. Some are already with my sister and are just waiting for my other sister to pick them up and take them home. In the meantime, I’m trying to see what I can still add to my list.
I’m in a bit of a quandary. One of my sisters is leaving next month to visit another sister….the one who just gave birth. Since its been a tradition among us to get our siblings as godparents for our children, I am, by default a Ninang once again. And knowing how we treat each addition to our family as a celebrity baby, I am now wondering what to give my new nephew as a gift.

Its been a week since I lined up for more than an hour for an event that not only sparked my interest, it also blew a little hole in my wallet. Let me say that again….a little dent.
.
Last weekend was Crocs Megasale weekend. I found out after seeing it on our credit card bill. The sale was being backed by our credit card company and it was offering up to 80% off if we used our credit card to pay for our purchases. Insert *banana dance*.

Maybe I’m coming in late in the game, but it is only recently that I have discovered the wonderful world of internet shopping.
.
I’ve always been wary of buying items online. Maybe because of all those horror stories I’ve heard about items not being shipped or suddenly finding credit card bills awash with charges that weren’t even made. Plus there was the downside of not being able to see the item itself. This for me was the big roadblock.

I’d like to think that I fall into the latter category. True, I must admit that I can shop up a storm when I am in the mood. True also, that I get anxiety attacks when I see percentage signs outside store windows followed by the word “OFF” in bold letter. And true, I have been known to stay up all night waiting for a “must have” item go on the shelf of my fave online stores especially when they offer free shipping.
