Binge (?)

Sometimes, I really am avoiding to open my flickr account. Why? Because I'm preventing myself from drooling over signatured stuffs that my online friend, Glo, is selling at such reasonable prices. Like this morning, I didn't have plans of logging in but I got curious with the raves that my twittermates buzzed about new stuffs she got...Technomarine watches, tote bags and Oakley shades. A few of my friends have already made their orders and there goes Glo's virtual receipt printer running again. She has already made a career in this online business selling venture.

Oakley hades...my husband's ultimate wish. I am actually tempted to order one for him but then he might not appreciate it because he's really dead serious that we save for a bigger project we've been dreaming. I could binge this time but with an Oakley price, I am not sure if "binge" is an appropriate word.

There Should Be a Credit Card Payment Mode.

A cousin of mine has ventured into selling baby clothes online. Actually I find the idea brilliant because I, myself, loves shopping on the web for Asher. She opened her boutique at Multiply, which is the easiest platform to set up for such a simple online shop without undergoing the complex steps of having a full shopping website with its own domain. While Multiply may be the easiest and cheapest to set up, it has its cons too. The most notable of which is that the mode of payment is just limited to bank deposits, g-cash and paypal. But what about if you don't have cash on hand but holds a credit card that can be used? Well, multiply sellers should try checking out Total Merchant Services. I heard that they have the lowest cost solution for establishing merchant accounts which ever type of credit card system one is looking for whether it be Retail, Point of Sale(POS), Wireless, Portable or Internet and Online.

Little Shopping.

I feel tired right now but nevertheless, I am in high spirits because of the things I've accomplished this morning and most especially, because I was able to shop. Yup, I deviated from my self-imposed No Shopping Rule and splurged just a little. I'm going to post in a bit my loots but let me go crazy first over the Php 79 worth blouse that I saw from the rack and guess what, I bought it right away. Why wouldn't I? The blouse is so nice that I never thought it's unbelievably priced at a wholesale clothing cost. It's really a steal so just imagine how I hurriedly ran to the counter afterwards. Now I have something new to wear this weekend.

Shopping Freeze.

I love shopping online and offline but of course, it's much enjoyable when you have the moolah to splurge. We're still recovering from the party expenses trauma so just imagine how hard it is for me lately when we go malling on weekends. Just last Easter Sunday, we went to Trinoma to treat the little one and buy new Avent teats for his bottles. When we were at the baby section, I intended not to look at each rack of clothes and other baby stuffs so I wouldn't be enticed. I knew I would just end up disappointed going home without it. I almost even rushed the cashier lady who was so slow in using the barcode scanner so that we can go out of the section immediately. At any rate, I was able to sneak into the cart a pair of pajama sets for Asher aside from the bottle teats. Then the husband, without me knowing, grabbed a toy for the little one while we were at the counter.

Gift for the husband - hmmm...pending.

Before you think that I'm disregarding my husband, we have agreed that we will buy a DSLR for ourselves this Christmas. This is one of our common gadget whims for the longest time and so instead of giving each other separate gifts, we'll pool our savings and splurge on this. We're eyeing a Nikon D60 and the husband says we might include this in our itinerary tomorrow after his annual physical check up. I can't wait to get hold of our own Nikky soon. By the way, I don't know if it's a sort of premonition or something, look what I found from Chikai's blog...a buzz about Nikond90.org's free Nikon Strap. I think it's one of those promotional items for their Nikon D90 but this strap is okay for all Nikon models. Since there's no catch or anything and they ship worldwide, I signed up so that when Nikky is here, she has a ready strap.

December is Almost Here!

Today's the last day of November and as always, I'm mesmerized how time surely flies so fast. The year end is fastly approaching and I feel like there is still much of my plans that I haven't accomplished yet. And with December being a busy month, all the more that I'm near panicking. The holiday shopping is almost done though since we started it early this month. Then I also need to prepare for the weddings I'll be attending on December and on January..which reminds me I am yet to buy a formal footwear to go along with my gown for my sister's wedding. I am inclined to buy similar to this Manolo Blahnik Marith style in my fave shoe shop. Looks good, eh?


Then of course I also need to prepare for the two out of town getaways the whole family will be having before and after Christmas. Arrggh, December will surely be one busy but fun and exciting month..can't wait.

BF Shopping.

For those of you who are in the US, how was your Thanksgiving celebration? Just sad that we don't celebrate here but I'm pretty sure it'd be exciting to hold one. For shopaholics like me, the After Thanksgiving Sale is even more exciting with all the lowest price drops ever in each and every store. Even though I'm a sleepyhead, I don't mind waking up in the wee hours of the morning just to take advantage of the best buys and coolest deals ever. In fact, I might not be able to sleep the night before because of too much excitement to shop. Why not get crazy when prices of everything drops as low as 80% off. No wonder why people even get rowdy and fight over limited stocks of stuffs just like what I watched in youtube. Two men almost engaged in a brawl because one tried to snagged the reserved the home theater furniture of the other. It's a good thing though that they were set apart right away or else, Black Friday could have literally turned into a gloomy friday.
