The shopaholic Me

Ok, I admit it. I am a shopaholic. But I can justify my shopping because majority of the time, I only shop for my little daughter. I love shopping cute tank tops, pants, skirts and even accessories for her.

That’s one thing that I like for having a daughter. There are a lot of nice and cute clothing for girls that I can choose from, that I really can’t resist the urge to shop every time I see one. Who can resist a cute and sexy skirt that goes well with a nice tank top that really looks good on my daughter when she tries it on? I think I shop for my little girl almost every week that sometimes my friends are already saying that I am already an addict.

But since my daughter is already attending school and they don’t have a uniform, she really needs a lot of wardrobe that she can wear to school. I was just browsing the net and I found some cute tank tops and shorts from my favorite brand for my daughter, Roxy Girl. I will be checking my pay check tomorrow and if budget permits, I might buy it for her.

Sale – Sale – Sale

I went crazy doing an online window shopping since a lot of online sites are having their 4th of July sale. Some of them even have an additional 20 – 25% discount on top of their sale items until July 10th.

I know it is still a little early but I figured I can start doing my Christmas shopping now. Imagine I can buy flip flops, blouses, perfume, lotion, personalized pens, shoes, clothes at 30-50% off. That would be a huge saving for me. And it is really a perfect timing since my friend is in Baltimore right now and I can have it delivered at his hotel address and then he will just shipped it to me here in Manila. I would be saving big bucks for sure.

I can’t wait for my Internet connection to be restored so I can do my online shopping. I am now sitting here at a coffee lounge and the connection really sucks so it takes forever for the sites to load.

I can’t wait to have my hands on my laptop and click my mouse button to check out all the items in my shopping cart.

Summer wear from Gap and Old Navy

Don’t you think it is still too hot and humid these past few weeks that I feel that it is still summer? I mean, it should be the rainy season already. It was raining during the last week of May and I thought it is already the start of the rainy season, but then it started to become warm. Just this weekend, Bela asked me to remove her clothes and she preferred to run naked inside our house. Maybe she feels really hot.

So when I saw the summer collection from Gap and Old Navy, I can’t help but be tempted to do some shopping. Don’t you think they are so cute? I can even wear it for our Singapore trip as I know it will be warm in Singapore during that time.

But look what I end up buying.
Aren’t they cute? But they are not for me. They are for of course for Bela. Maybe I’ll do shopping for myself some other time.

New credit card for his online shopping

I just got an email from my husband and he was telling me how disappointed he was because his order from Toys R’ Us was cancelled. He is in Majuro, Marshall Islands right now and he has been doing some shopping online for our daughter.He wanted to buy our daughter these:


But then he got really disappointed since he got an email from Toys R’ Us saying that his order has been cancelled because they only accept US issued MasterCard and Visa credit cards only.

I can imagine how disappointed he was since he was so excited yesterday when he was telling me what he will be ordering for my daughter and some NBA Legends action figures to add to his collection. So he tried searching for other online stores where he can order again but unfortunately, all of them only accept US issued credit cards.

So I told him that he should apply for a new credit card since he mostly does his shopping online. I gave him the site of YourCreditNetwork.com where he can easily apply for a credit card online. All he has to do is select which type of credit card he wants and then he can compare each of its features and then he can instantly apply online.

My Own Camera

It’s my sister’s 19th birthday today. She was insisting that she should have a party because this is her last birthday as a teenager. So we prepared a small party for her. Too bad Howell was note here so we don’t have best digital camera to take pictures of this wonderful event.

I remember the last time Howell was away and it’s the Christmas season and I’m at the mall with my daughter when we saw Santa Claus. My daughter was so happy when she saw Santa that she even lined up to have her picture taken with Santa. But I only have my cell phone’s camera that time so I was not able to capture that special moment. So I thought, I should have my own camera that my daughter and I can use.

My husband’s camera is an SLR which is the best wide angle digital camera. But the problem is it is heavy since it is big so I can’t bring it with me everywhere I go. And since he uses it for business, I really can’t just borrow it anytime I like. So I think it is really about time that I buy my own camera.

If I will be buying a camera, I want to buy the best ultra compact digital camera. I’m really not that familiar with camera specifications so I have to do some readings on my favorite site, BestInClass.com. I like this site since the recommendations are written by experts on that particular product and not like other review sites where I get confused from the different feedbacks given by user.

I’m excited already in owning my own camera as my pretty subject, my dear daughter, is already waiting for her pictures to be taken by me.

Eiffel Tower Bag by Timmy Woods

Ok, ok I am now obsessed with the Speedy LV bag. Every time I would see someone carrying one, I would really stare in envy and amazement. But as of today, I should still just settle to stare in envy as I still don’t have the money to buy it. LOL.

So to take my mind off that Speedy LV bag, I started to browse the net and found this cute bag that is even featured in the Sex and the City movie, the Eiffel Tower Bag by Timmy Woods.

Remember this scene from the Sex and the City movie? Carrie is holding the Eiffel Tower bag in this scene.

The bag is made from Acacia wood and is hand-painted and signed by Timmy Woods herself. But mind you, the Swarovsky crystal version worn by Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City the Movie is even more expensive than the LV bag that I want at $3,000 and the plain version is priced at $450.

Shopping is my therapy

Since hubby will be in Majuro (which is a US territory) for three weeks, I was wondering if I can order online and have it shipped to his hotel there. He said that he will let me know as soon as he gets there if it is possible so I can start shopping. LOL.

The last time that he was in the US, online shopping has been my companion and therapy and has really helped me a lot to not to miss him that much. LOL. I did not realize that three weeks has gone by that fast since I was busy checking the different online stores and shopping for my daughter. Hope this time around, shopping would be my therapy again so I will not notice the three weeks that Howell is away.

And to start my online window shopping, I have been checking out the GAP website. They are giving 20% until June 8 for any Gap purchase that is over $100. You just have to enter the promo code: MNW7Q9MHXM7Q to redeem the discount online.


Sounds like a good deal? I will check it out later if they have great items on sale that I can order.

My shopping has to wait

It’s Memorial Day sale at Old Navy. Peachy gave me the good news last week and I got so excited that I immediately browse the site and added to my cart all the items that I want to order.

Every time I shop online, I send all that I purchased to our friend’s address in the US and she will just sent it to us here in Manila. This is cheaper as we don’t have to pay for expensive shipping cost.

So after I selected the item that I want to buy for my daughter, I immediately contacted my friend so I can ask for her permission if I can send her my Old navy purchases. But I just found out that they’re on vacation.

Then I remember that she mentioned to me when we last talked that they still have seven days of rest and recreation leave which they need to use, otherwise it will just be forfeited. So they are planning to go to the US Virgin Islands and get one of those St. Thomas villa rentals where they can stay for a week.

I bet hey are having a grand vacation there now so my online shopping has to wait.

Banana Republic Wish List

It’s Memorial Day sale at Banana Republic.

I was not supposed to do an online window shopping today but then I got this email from Banana Republic regarding their Memorial Day sale. They offer 30% discount to selected items up to May 26.

So I said, a few peak won’t hurt and so I tried to visit their site and found some great finds:

What I like about Banana Republic is that they are a little cheaper compared to other brands so they are a little within my budget. But of course, I can’t do any shopping now. I still have to save for our Singapore trip and Hong Kong trip. Maybe, I can just do my shopping there.

So I just thought of sharing here my wish list for this week.

Online window shopping again

Since I have been working so hard last week, I think I deserve a little prize. LOL. (Hmm, or I might just be looking for a justification for my shopping.) So I have been doing some online window shopping again at my favorite online shoe store, shoebuy.com and below are my choices:

1. Crocs Alice - Grape



I already have the Crocs Alice – Ruby and since I’m so in love with the color purple, wouldn’t it be nice to have another Alice in purple color?

2. Crocs Malindi




My friend Peachy ordered this one already and I first saw it when she asked me if I want to order too. But I don’t have a budget that time for another shoe so I painstakingly resist the temptation to buy another Crocs. But then I saw this at the mall and I really love it.

Crocs has been one of my favorite shoes now. I have three pairs of Crocs shoes (Alice, Prima and eleven the bulky and manly Cayman style) and I want to buy more. I love them because they are very comfortable and I can wear it to almost anything, be it pants, skirts, shorts. I even wear it at work.

I can only afford to buy one pair so this will be a very tough decision to make. LOL.
