Loving my iPhone...

( The whole story is on another webpage, just click the link)

The wait is over.... When I heard that the price for the iPhone will be marked down, the following day, I didn't even think about it twice.. I probably didn't think about it at all!! This by far is my craziest shopping escapade..

Ever since it was launched, I have been wanting to have one for really no apparent reasons.. It's just that the features are totally cool!! I don't think I need it though, but still I wanted to have one.. Browsing the apple website has been a part of my daily Internet routine, reading all about it every night..

That's why when I decided to buy it, everyone (even in the office) are so excited about it.. It was a quick purchase because my friend call one AT&T store to hold one for me, they said they're not really allowed to do so.. That whole morning before I bought the iPhone after work was just really crazy..

But I must say, it was so worth it for me.. Especially the unlimited web access... I don't care about what some pessimist says... It's me and my iPhone.. PERFECT MATCH :)

WhAt kiNd of sHoppEr aRe YOU??

However you want to look at it, I am slowly becoming a shopaholic.. I just like to separate my shopping spree into different categories:

* "IN-AND-OUT" - this is when I have a particular item to buy and kinda in a hurry.. Just grab what you need, got to the register, pay and leave..

* " MIGHT AS WELL" - this sometimes could bring me to go shop a lot more.. it's when you have specific items to buy, but then i figured, since I'm here already i might as well buy "this" and "that".. It's usually when I go to Target that I do this.. Say I just wanted to buy some hair products, I would end up buying toothpaste, some bathroom items, even a new top or a new pair of shoes!! Hey, they're on sale, MIGHT AS WELL buy it!!

* "POWER SHOPPING" - normally refers to grocery shopping... because of all the kinds of shopping, I hate this one.. So with a list on my hand (or sometimes just on my mind), I will just go directly to the specific aisles, be as quick as possible, grab the specifics and check-out in no time.. But if I'm in Manila, power shopping is a whole new different thing.. Its when you check if you have enough cash, get our big plastic bag (that's where we put all the stuff we bought), and be ready to shop till you drop! I can spend half the day jumping from one mall to another, as if there's no tomorrow! LOL!

* "COMPULSIVE BUYING" - or should I say shopping?? I have been doing this lately.. Its usually when: A. you have a bad day Or B. you get paid!! That's when you tend to buy a things without even thinking twice.. At least for me.. Recently I went crazy shopping, and when I mean crazy.. Really, really... buying four kid's backpacks with matching lunchboxes! ; a couple of shower gels and lotions.. shoes, purses, and blouse.. All in one day..

As of now that how I "sort" my shopping behavior... It all depends on what kind of day it is!!

MoRniNg ritUaLs...

I have my usual morning routine that for the past two years, I can probably say, it hasn't changed a lot..

5:45 -- I always set my alarm this early but then of course, I will never get up.. My clock is like 15 mins in advance but then who am I fooling?? Id reach for my wristwatch on my headboard and look at the "correct" time on my watch...
6:00 -- On mondays and fridays, I usually will get up or if I have that I have to fix my hair so bad!! But if not I'd still wait for a couple of minutes..
6:15-- My official time to get up, I can be early but I cant be late.. Then I'll go straight to the bathroom.. do a couple of stretches, say my prayer, then get in the shower!! this basically wakes up my nerves especially on winter mornings..
6:45-- Time to step out of the shower... Then my mom will have the breakfast ready.. My usuals: a glass of cold chocolate nesquik, 2 toasted breads, butter or ham.. In between I try to go online just to check emails..
7:10-- Done with the breakfast.. brush my teeth...
7:15-- From here I'll start my morning rituals.. It always starts with the face.. My Proactiv.. hey been using it for over a year and it works!! I also use a primer from bare escentuals called Skin Revver-upper and then to top it, Moisturizer of course.. So basically in a matter of 10 mins I have like 4 things going on in my face!!
7:25-- Now hand and body.. Well not much dramas on these just my usual body lotion.. sometimes i do use my hand cream though.. haha..
7:30-- DRESS-UP time!! It really doesnt take a lot of my time, since Im not picky on what to wear.. not unless we have a special occasion at work.. ( i like to dress up real cute for the pictures!).. On winter time, there's really no reason to even bother dressing up..
7:33-- time to do my hair!!! its very crucial, since my hair is really a mess.. and if i do have a bad hairday!! it messes me up the whole day! blowdry first, then sometimes if needed a bit for iron to keep it straight..
7:45-- then back to my face again.. I use bare minerals so its pretty easy.. Honestly! though it might take a while if I have breakouts to conceal.. its just swirl, tap and buff!!
7:55- or sometimes 3 mins. early.. Im all set to go.. My dad's waiting at the car.. Since I still dont drive..

This has been my life..Nothing more nothing less... Same thing over and over..

Just in case: If you're curious on the products I used:
Proactiv-- the 3 piece kit
Bare Escentuals- Revver-Upper, Bare Minerals foundation, Bare Summer Bisque, Mineral Veil,
Buxom Lip gloss..

I tell you this products works!!
