I need a new pair ..

.. of eyeglasses !

Yes, even if i am using my contact lens for most of the time, I use My favorite high fashion eyeglasses at home to give my eyes some rest. A lot of my friends noticed it already and they thought that it is expensive because of the design. I told them that its an $ 8 Rx eyeglasses from Zenni Optical. I love Zenni and my whole family got their eyeglasses from them. We are one of their very ssatisfied and loyal customers. I enjoy buying from them because I get to really save a lot of money. This is how i answer the question How You Can Start Spending Smart .. yes , this is smart shopping now!

Hello weekend!

I love this weeknd because I dont have to work at the arena. Its a big break for me thats why my schedule is full. I made sure this would be a productive week for me. I scheduled myself to the dentist, I've been looking for Plano cosmetic dentist for quite a while, and I'm glad i landed into one already. Then I am also set to do some little shopping at Forever 21. It's one of my favorite stores because it has a LOT of clothes, from tops, bottoms and dress at such a wonderful price. I bet a lot would be at the store since it recently opened. Loook what i wanna bu for myself

Happy Weekend everyone. Wish me luck with the dentist visit !

Dreaming of you

I love these two bags, but if i may choose only one, then I want the blue patent sabrina.

Dillards recently had a BIG sale in their stores and i got myself a swinpack and a convertible tote from Coach. I was actually looking for an XBox for my nephew , as it is my gift for him on October, but instead of getting it there , i got myself 2 gorgeous bags :) now I think it was still a blessing of not getting the Xbox at the mall , because I got it cheaper online.

Oh well , i think this Sabrina needs to wait a while, I better payoff those purchases first before I max out my credit card. Hahaha

party preps

My niece will soon be celebrating her first birthday with an Oh So Sweet Candy Land Party. I am helping out my sister with some party favors and loots so I checked out allaboardtoys for some sale that would match our theme and i found out these nice looking candy cups. I have no picture now but i will just re post it soon once i have it. The site is still having its BIG SALE , so check it out,you might like something for the little ones.

I should be looking now for some industrial products that my dad asked me to search online, but here i am looking at shoes Hahaha. I've seen this pair of Steve Madden shoes from Heidi Klum , and i know she will love this pair. She is so much into flats since she is always with her kids , and the fact that this gladiators are stylish, i know she'll get crazy upon seeing it.

Anyone who knows the quality of this? MAybe i can also check out the hand towels , i can give it out to friends by Christmas

Gone (crazy) shopping in San Francisco

Wow, I am like a month late posting this! sorry!!! been caught up with tons of things that's why.. Anyways, I went last March to SF with some of my co-workers for merely two reasons:
1. to see the sights: which is really amazing! even though I only used my phone to take pics I was so surprised to see how the pics still turned out good!

2. SHOPPING!!!! The whole chronicles of me gone crazy shopping is here and here.. yeah it's a two-part experience!!! But I would just give you guys the summary... Here's some stuff I got:

got me a new TechnoMarine!!! and this by far is the fastest way I purchased something! No questions, not even thinking twice.. I bought a watch in less than 15 minutes! hahaha

My to-die-for first Juicy Couture flats!!!!

Oh well, just remembering the experience, makes me all hyped-up again... I really went and shop a lot.. And I enjoyed San Francisco, err, should I say I LOVE San Francisco! I really wished that when we got here, we should have settled in a city lke SF or LA that way, it feels more like Manila, not like here in Stockton where the closest brand name you can have would be Hollister or Old Navy! duh?!? : )

I will be starting my third job this 8th of April.. Yes, THIRD!!! It will be slow on my second job at the arena since the Hockey Season is over, so now that summer's on its way, it will be Baseball, so I git a job in there too.. Same thing, as always.. counting money...

Juicy !!

In Manila, its almost Summer, so even if im in another part of the world, I cant help but feel the summer heat too. Look at this, perfect for the beach! More to come soon!!

* Kasey Thongs *

Helo hello

I have to control myself !

Upto 70%off on their Sale items, wow! Check out Ralph lauren and start shopping!

Last Minute Grabs

I know I said that I won't be shopping a lot for my sis' coming baby.. Since her and my mom obviously didn't even take a break buying stuff!!! I bet the coming princess already have so much stuff, na kahit every hour eh pde sya magpalit ng damit! : ) But then I just can't resist a SALE! So I had a few grabs.. They're on clearance so its pretty cheap..


I got bigger sizes like 6-9 months so it won't fit her for quite sometime... And I know that my mom's going to ship a box already, so FOR NOW the shopping will end...

Day Two..

So I did something productive today.. I WENT SHOPPING!!! Got some stuff for my room since I really wanted to make it look organize. Thank goodness, my mom already started to sort stuff that will be sent to my sister. Bawas kalat sa kwarto, salamat naman! But the most rewarding part is when I went to Macy's and found out about these:

The Coach Heritage Stripe Swingpack ON SALE!!!! 40% off... So do I need it?? Nope not really I already got one but still decided to buy it! hahaha.. I'm trying to sell it to my mom, because I know she's gonna convince me to send it to my sisters. But as I was explaining to them. tough times lately, I just cant give out stuff as I've been doing it for a while! hahaha.. If they want it, they can buy it from me! haha.. I really am sticking to my plan on saving money, so not everything comes for free.. Hindi na ko all-out mag pasalubong, kasi nagtitipid na ko.. : )

Then when I went to the cosmetics/perfume area, I found out that they now have a full counter of Bare Minerals!! OMG!! I'm in make-up heaven!!! I bought a couple of items, AGAIN...

I love this Rare Minerals Blemish Therapy. I tried it once, and now its going to be a part of my night time "ritual".. So vain huh?!? haha
Then of course my two must-haves.. Summer Bisque and Buxom Lip Gloss.. The bisque is the best concealer ever!!! And i love the Dolly shade of Buxom it gives that tingly, cooling sensation, it kinda feels that it's tightening your lips to make it look for fuller and pout-perfect!!

so what else did I buy?? hmmm.. I got three cute dresses for the coming princess.. But I'm too lazy to take pics so it will be on the next one...

Hay, thank heavens for sale.. what am I gonna do without them?? : )

For Me

Eventhough I already shop for the "new" princess (refer to my prev. post) of course I have to shop for me!!! This is what I got myself...

went crazy for Coach

Hindi ko alam kung bakit dalawang wallet ang binili ko! They were having a sale that week, extra 40% off on items already on sale!!! I'm not really a big fan of Coach pero what the hell!! A Coach is a Coach... a Sale is a Sale!!! : ) The skinny purse was not on sale though, but it was so cute kaya binili ko pa din! hehehe.. But the other one I only got for $ 70 when the normal price will be around $180-190 since my sis bought one like that before...

so now i;m thinking... anung gagawin ko sa dalaang wallet?? isa lang naman ok na?? i think its what they call a momentary "relapse" for me... pero promise i've been really good shopping... haha

For the New Princess

The Princess of Quite-A-Lot

Again something I got from my boss. It's a photo frame actually and the cue thing about it is it plays an instrumental version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow.. So "princess-sy" talaga! (which according to them totally fits me! hahaha) Then I told her on how my princess of the family days will soon be over because my sister's having a baby girl in a few months.. So I didn't put a picture yet on the frame (they placed Wu Chun's pic in there when I forgot it at work!) As my days are already numbered.. Or maybe I'll be the queen and then she's the new princess!!! : )

The last couple of weeks I was outdone by my sis and my mom when it comes to shopping for the new baby.. Actually I have been really good saving my money since I plan on something. And of course lately I've been working weekends on my second job. Then I got the chance to do so about two weeks ago.. Here's my loot for the princess:

two RL dresses which I got on clearance.. only $10!!!
CK three-piece
this is my personal fave, that RL dress is not on sale!

When I got home after shopping I immediately went online and showed it to her.. I told her that these are my "share" already.. I've been really good though as to not spending a lot.. We should totally name the baby Lauren... : )

I'm off to the mall again today... So let's see...

To Do List

Hay, I spent the first of the three-day weekend by being a couch potato.. Yesterday was the 4th of July holiday, and I didn't even post a greeting to everyone. So how did I spend the holiday?? Bumming around in the laziest way possible. I didn't do a single thing, I think I can practically challenge anyone on c couch potato contest. I was online most of the day watching movies and shows, the only time I'll get up will be for bathroom breaks and lunch, which I took at 4pm! didn't get up to have dinner since I am so lazy! I had plans with my mom and dad to go and see the fireworks at night by the waterfront but of course I didn't go.. When laziness strikes, it can really take me down in just once simple blow..

Now I won't let laziness strike me again.. I have to get up and do something.. So here's my to-do list for saturday and sunday:

1. Shopping! - its the only you can spend your weekend here.. and i heard most stores will probably have their holiday sale! (since i've been reading about it a lot on my sis' blog! haha)

2. Balance my checkbook- its about time! but since I really haven't been spending much lately it shouldn't be hard.. I used to really be good at it but then I lost track. lazy me! : )

3. Clean my brusheS.. - yeap! that's with a whopping S at the end... I have so many BE make up brushes, and I think I need to clean them this week.

4. Just organize- I have receipts and letters that need to be shredded.. my stuff are basically everywhere and in relation to number 3.. I have to organize my make-upS.. I just got a new (well had it for over a month now) bare minerals collection kit.. Why I bought it? I really don't know!! I'll make sure I'll post that one for the BE addicts like me..

5. Picture..picture-- its been what, 2 months since my trip to manila and I STILL don't have my pictures printed. Although some of it were already posted on my multiply, I still wanted to have them printed, old school still huh?!?

Well i do hope i get to do these today and tomorrow.. And not just do NUMBER ONE then skip the rest!!!

Good Weekend everyone! : )

Medical ID

I never thought that there is a medical id jewelry. My officemate is looking for a gift to her sister who is graduating from the medical field, and she showed to me a very beautiful Medical ID necklace with pendant which is personally engraved with her name. It really looks perfect and elegant and I find it useful for the receiver. I wonder if they offer it too for some other professions. Now I am thinking of giving one for my cousin in Manila who works as a doctor in a very prominent hospital.

Father's day Gift

My dad celebrated his birthday last May 24 and since I just got back from Manila then, I wasn't able to get him a gift. So now that Father's Day is fast approaching, I am thinking of what to give him , and I want it to be special. We went to the mall last weekend where he saw a watch, and I just told him that I will buy him one. He's never into luxury watches, but this time, I really want to give him one. I checked the price at the mall and I still find it expensive. So I checked online for some bedat brands and I'm too lucky to grab a really good price. I always take precautionary measures ever since I started with Online Shopping because some say that it's not safe. But not with vialuxe. It's one of the trusted and safest site to buy a watch. Of course, they guarantee the authenticity of the product too. I find the site easy to navigate because I was able to find the watch model I am looking for. I was even able to see other models not offered at the mall, but I'm sticking with my original choice. It's simple and can even be used for work or casual occasions. Now I am ready to place my order, and for my dad to receive it before Father's Day.

The Shopaholic Strikes Again..

Just when I thought I've been really good controlling my shopping.. I just had a major relapse! I, once again turned into a compulsive buyer just minutes ago after work.. Here's the reason why:

I wasn't really supposed to buy this, so you have to blame my dad since there's a fun story why we ended up being at the mall, on a Friday night after a long day's work.. All I really wanted to have was some chicken (sorry, I know its Friday and were not supposed to eat meat) from the usual place we go to. On the way back to our place my dad noticed that somebody was by our place, someone we are trying to avoid, so I told him that we can go to the mall to grab some Starbucks.. So I got my mocha frap and chocolate cupcake getting ready to go home when my dad suddenly said something: "Merong maganda sa Coach yun mga style na gusto mo, $ 98 nga lang." He was at the mall this morning to run some errands for my mom. So my reaction: "What?? $98 lang? Bakit di ko yun nakita last week?". so since were still in the area we parked again and checked out the mall. Aba, pagdating namin dun, wala na sa istante yun shoes!! I was ready to leave when all of a sudden, nakita ko na lang na nsa lapag, nalaglag siguro! It was so meant to be!!! hahaha!! Their size are big, I'm usually a 6 but I got the 5 1/2 since mas maganda yun fit. So I just bought a pair of Coach shoes in under 10 minutes! I swear! I even went online at that moment and told my sis to guess where am I!! haha..

**Coach Margot Flat**

I remember giving up a pair of Coach flats before because my mom wanted it for my sisters, and they only have the last pair, I badly wanted that one but left with no choice. So seeing this and loving it instantly, I really grabbed the chance, to buy it.. Before my mom gets her hands to it! No wonder she was so "inggit" when I showed it to her when we got home, because I really said: AKIN ITO! SORRY!! haha.. I think this is by far my most compulsive (for a pricey) purchase, since it was literally under 10 minutes.. haha..

What a way to start the weekend.. Really puts me in the mood to shop!

My Three-Day (SHOPPING) Weekend

Since I don't have work tomorrow, and got paid last Friday, I figured I can't just lock up myself for three full days at my room especially with great weather this weekend. So yeah, I went ahead and shop.. Yesterday and today!!! Woohoo!! But here's the catch that's why I am so happy. I only took out $ 100 last Friday to spend for the whole weekend. Then I went out to lunch that day, placed $ 5 for our lottery ticket (as if were gonna win the $168M jackpot!), so basically I was left with around $85 to shop. And my cards are still at the safe deposit box. (Although I did have my dad's just in case!) But I cannot believe how far my $85 got me..

I got these on TJ Maxx last Saturday, I was basically thinking of my vacation in May, so most were really for summer already. The striped cover up top was only $ 7, I think my sis would love that. Although I have to say I don't think I can give away the one at the middle since its my best grab that day. Its a DKNY dress for only $19 and the Roxy dress also for the same price!!!

And these are the ones I got today:

I cannot believe how I was able to buy that 2 tops at Macy's for only $ 19.63!! For the both! It turns out the black sequined top which I thought is already a grab for $10 turns out to be only just around $8 and the dress which already is on sale for only $ 12 turned out to be $10!! I am so ecstatic when I found out since I only got only around $ 40 today. Then I was able to grab the brown-strap sandals at Old Navy for only $15! At the end of the day, I was left with $3 and some change.. And was still able to buy my cinnamon pretzel sticks!!

I am so happy to know that my efforts of controlling my shopping are really paying off. I know I have to save money for my trip but I also know that I need to shop or else I'm gonna go crazy around here! Two words: Budget and Compromise!

Looking for eyeglasses

I can't see anything without my eyeglasses. Take it away from me and I am literally blins as it may seem. I have sets of contact lenses that I use for work, but I still prefer using eyeglasses at home. I found out these money saving Zenni Optical $8 Rx Glasses and I was so eager to check their sample products. You know me as a shopaholic, and yes I am always alert for great finds. Great Discovery: Zenni Optical has a lot of eyeglasses to choose from, depending on your budget and material preferences. I prefer simple ones though for home use. So if ou need to replace those old ones you are using now, check out, my this week's Best Thing Found: Zenni Optical , and be amazed with its products. The pic above is my personal choice.
