Online Store

Since I am addicted to shopping for just about everything, my sister and I are planning to set up our own online store. This way, we will be earning a little more for our own shopping or for our own budget concerns. We are starting from scratch since this would be the first time we are venturing into this. We are still in the researching stage on the technical side of the online store. A friend of mine tole me that it is best to have the latest in ecommerce software. Our site would be easier to access having this, so the customers won't have a hard time placing and processing their orders. I searched for it and I was able to see Ashop. They currently a 10 day free trial fo this software, and I am keen on getting that. After the trial, we might purchase it for our online store. It is web based and no installation is required so imagine how easy could that be. We can also customise our website according to our theme and I find that really exciting. We don't have yet a specific theme and over all look of the site, and I would still need to discuss that with my sister. Ashop's customer service and technical team is available 24/7 so if problem arises, it is so easy for me to get in tougch with them. Do wish us luck in our newest business. I do hope we will have great sales and earn a lot from this newest baby of ours.

a lot to do

Im squeezing in a few opps for now. Im nearing deadlines already, talk about cramming. I will be back with posts. Still raining here, so yeah, it's just work and home for now, no shopping for me . LOL Ba back !

Worst Dressed 2007

AHHHH!! I am so angry right now! Apparently Mr. Blackwell, a well known fashion critic since the 1960's has released his 48th Annual Worst-Dressed List.. What makes me upset? It was because VICTORIA BECKHAM ranked FIRST!! You have got to be kidding me! I was teased by my co-workers the whole day because they know how much I adore Posh. She came in here and totally introduced a very fashionable hairstyle, that never happened since the Jennifer Aniston's hairstyle at Friends. I really just don't get it! It REALLY PUT me in a bad mood. i was joking with my friends that this will lead me to a major depression! Yes, not every outfit she wore will be the best, but for here to out of nowhere be on top of the list?! Well I still love Beckham! Just click on the link to read what he has to say regarding Posh's fashion and the other nine thet made the list.

Essay writing

I would still remember on how I would spend sleepless night a few years ago because I would need to finish piles or essays and research papers. But look how everything changed now. Did you know that you can buy essays online? They offer a variety of topics to choose from so you won't have a hard time searching for one. They can even do some academic essay writing. Most importantly, Thesis Writing is also offered. I should have known this site 3 years ago so I didn't have to stay late writing my own.

Personal Loans

Working on a bank for a few years now and taking up Accountancy in college really made me knowledgeable with loans. Fortunately, I am not into any loan for now. I have been doing good with my finnces, that somehow my income can still support my lifestyle. But if worse comes to worse and I'll be needing money, I won't be having hesitations in applying a Personal Loan. People might think that it is a hassle to do it online, but seeing the website of Personal Loans, I can say that it's such an easyt thing to do. An unsecured personal loan can really help you in augmenting with expenses, especially on emergency situations or just when the need arises. Most of the time, a loan can start at $1,500, but they alos do offer figures lower than that. The process is easy, you just need to fill up a few items on their website, then submit it online to have your loan processed. In a little to no time, you will get your approval. It's a less worry especially in moments of financial needs. If in the future you plan on getting a loan, visit www.americaoneunsecured.com , they surely have something that fits your needs, whether for personal or business use.

online casino

Since it was raining last weekend, I was literally locked inside our room and I spent the day being with my laptop and playing online casino. I never thought I would really enjoy playing games, because I've only been inside a casino once when I was at Las Vegas. One should really try to play vegas casino, it's one of the best and really exciting. I do wish I can hve more time playing casino games, especially after a stressful day at work. I need to relax once in a while.

Mission (partially) Complete..

So as planned I did went to the mall today and I actually was able to complete well just partially some of my mission. Yup, I did a little shopping at Victoria's Secret, went to Target but not able to have the pictures printed, major food trip: bacon 3 cheese steak sub, bacon and cheese fries and cinnamon pretzel bites! Wow talk about calories! And I did used my Dillard's gift card but of course not for me but for Joaquin.. Here's some of the stuff I got:

I got two body scrub, a foot scrub, 2 body mists and these cute SuperModel tag necklaces. Most of them were either half off or 75 % off. I should have bought more of the necklace, but I didn't know at first how long was it till I opened one when I got home.

I didn't buy the Eight Hour Cream that I wanted since the "auntie" mode in me kicked in once again when I was in Dillard's. I decided to check out the boys section just in case they have something on sale.. And Behold... I found a rack which says CLEARANCE and from a far I can already spot the RL polos. As usual as I got so excited shopping for Joaquin that I can't remember what size I should buy for him. So I bought 3 Ralph Lauren polo shirts with sizes of 2t,3t and 4t! Then I used my gift card and just paid for the difference. So sis, you owe me! Hehe.

My sister saw this online just this morning and I know she wanted to buy one for Joaquin so when I checked out the Target store here, I'm so glad they have one. Its Disney's Cars which is cute for casual get-up. I just hope it will fit him since again, I don't know what size to buy.. So are you wondering just as I am?? What did I get for myself??!! The only thing I bought for me is a pair of knee-high nylons since I don't want to wash the ones I have for work tomorrow. But still I'm happy that I get to shop and it didn't rain! One of these days, I will do some "ME" shopping..

Rain, Rain Go Away

It's day three, not really as bad as Friday but there are still some occasional rain showers. Please make it stop!! I need to get out of the house! Well, you know where I need to go, I really just wanted to go the mall, take a stroll and do some window shopping. I am so bored right now here at home that I just wanted to go out. I guess it will be fine, forecast didn't say anything about thunderstorms or gusty wind. I'm just making sure since I don't want to get sick, not now!

So here's a couple of reasons why I'm hoping the rain will stop:

1. Its the VICTORIA'S SECRET SEMI ANNUAL SALE! Duh?! One major reason right? I cannot believe that I am going to miss it and then will have to wait until June for the next one. They really have great deals even with their lotions and beauty products, that's why I wanted to go. It already started last Thursday, so I don't know if there will still be some good deals left for me.. Huhuhu. Poor me.

2. I have a gift card from my uncle not really that much but I just would like to use it. It's a $20 giftcard from Dillard's and I already have something in mind that I wanted to buy. I've been reading Victoria Beckham's book, and she always mentions Elizabeth Arden Eight-Hour Cream as one of her favorite products. Hey, if she says so, definitely worth the try! Its only around $ 17 I believe so I want to try it.

3. Pictures from my family's holiday "madness" are already piling up on my laptop and my mom's bugging me to have them printed. So I am planning to go to Target to have them print since I don't have a printer at home. Its also nice to just look around at Target, since I cannot believe on how they already have swim wears out when its still stormy and freezing in here!

4. I wanted to eat! I miss my pretzel bites from Pretzel Time at Mrs. Fields, since I always get one every weekend. plus I also have a gift card from Starbucks so might as well grab some cafe mocha.

I hope the rain will stop.. Even just for three hours so that I can shop!

I'm sharing this award to: MM, Kathy and Erika.

Working in a Stormy Friday

It was all over the news that there will be a storm to hit Northern California yesterday. So of course being from Manila, I immediately shoved the thought that it will be so powerful and worst as how the news predicts it to be. I figured, its just the media hype trying to make a big deal of it. I mean the bagyos we have in the Philippines are really strong, lumilipad na nga ang bubong hindi pa din signal number 1! But I guess I was so wrong!

Friday Morning.. I get up at 6:00 am to get ready for work, and the wind was really blowing hard that I thought it will break our windows. One of our neighbors car was hit by a plywood that was blown off, he was so frustrated upon seeing it. I was so bundled up, I am wearing a turtleneck top, with a pink warm sweater, and then I still have my raincoat complete with a hood! Too bad I have to work, and what's worse was one of my officemates called in that day, so I have to fill in for him. Here's what he do: Every hour he has to get the deposits and other works from each of the tellers, get the outgoing and inter branch mails, then he walks across the street to the other building to bring over the works. That's what we call a "run". So I was there basically thinking to myself "how in the hell am I supposed to do this?" I'll get knocked over by the wind. According to the news it was blowing 50-60 miles per hour. One of my co-workers, got knocked up and fell on the bushes by our parking lot on the way to work. And she is probably five foot nine! Sa liit ko, feeling ko e kayang-kaya ko tangayin ng hangin! Too bad, a job is a job! There are some procedures that only me and my friend Lily could do, and means we have to get out in freezing rain! I had one of the tellers do the first run and when he came back, the umbrella was totally destroyed! He came back soaking wet since the wind basically broke the umbrella he was using, and mind you he was the biggest and tallest guy we have.

*** for more pictures and stories, please click this***

It was such a mess, for a short while our front parking was a bit flooded and I have to brave the storm and did the rest of the runs. I had one bad experience with the wind that I even thought it will knocked me out or will blew me away! I totally hate my co-worker for not showing up to work! The news and the pictures they have on tv were really surprising, trees were uprooted, trailer trucks on the freeway were knocked over.

So at the end of the day I was telling myself, all these I have to do just to earn a dollar! See, hindi pinupulot ang pera dito, pinaghihirapan din! Hehehe! Even if it means, you'll be soaking wet and getting beat up by a 60 mile per hour wind, you have to do your job! Its still raining right now, I think we'll catch a break on Monday but another storm will probably hit again on Wednesday.. Oh gosh, just please send me back home!! =)

engagement rings

I am always fascinated with engagement rings. It is really a sight to behold in every girls hand. Sometimes, I can't help but wonder onh ow my ring would like like. It doesn't need to be filled with much diamonds, one would do. I have seen this site thath as a lot of beautifullycrafted rings, and I do wish I can wear one of their diamond engagement rings in the future. I shouldn't be thinking about the ring, I guess. I better look for my man, what do you think?

Welcome 2008

So again for the "Nth" time I get to spend New Year's Eve in the same boring way I've been spending it for the last years. Boring because its NOTHING, as in zip, nada, zero, compared to how I spent New Year back in Manila.. Besides its freezing cold, so I am pretty much bundled up with layers of clothes, gloves and socks, while I'm just here inside our house. Funny how it was completely different since my cousin in Manila was in shorts! So this year I decided to at least give it a shot do something fun.

My friend at work gave me three small bottles of vodka and one tequila. So before leaving work I got a 7up since I know I am not prepared to get drunk on New Year's Eve so I don't have anything at home to go with my alcohols. Sunday, I went to Target to buy some dvds since that's really my plan.. To bleed my eyes from watching movies all day and night. I got four dvds: three comedies: Knocked Up, Old School and Evan Almighty; and a classic: Breakfast at Tiffany's.

I started my first bottle at around 8pm while watching Knocked Up. I was so surprised on how I was able to finish it in less than an hour. Pretty boring if you're drinking by yourself, made me look like I am an alcoholic or something!! To cut it short, yup I got drunk.. Way before the clock hits 12 am! I cannot believe it! I wasn't up to welcome the New Year! Good thing my aunt called us and I woke up because of it. But I still cannot even stand at least I have my eyes open. And close it again in less than a minute..

What a bummer! I have always welcomed every new year sober, maybe got a few drinks but not asleep. I guess there's always a first time.. And that's how I welcome the new year..
