where I blog about the fun things I do to entertain myself…

Rechargeable AAA batteries

Batteries have long been in use ever since time immemorial. They come in different sizes, according to their different usage. The ones used for trucks and other mobile units are big ones, while special kinds of batteries – the smaller, the better – are used for the high tech gadgets. To mention one, there are [...]


No brogues yet

It’s been weeks since I posted about coveting brogues for Spring and Summer but unfortunately I still haven’t bought one. I have my eyes set on the floral pair from Next but just didn’t have the time to sit down and ask hubby to order it for me. Teehee. Anyway, I have already told him [...]


python bags!

When I bought myself a python purse last month from an American online store, I didn’t have a slightest clue that this kind of animal pattern has already been a favorite among fashionistas and even celebrities. I just liked how it looked and wham! I added it to my shopping cart. I didn’t even know [...]


choosing a blackberry case

Blackberry phones are popular these days, so it’s not a surprise to see many blackberry cases of different kinds being sold in stores too. A user can choose from hard cases, skin or gel cases and also flip cases; in various styles, colors and designs! Enough to make you confused which to pick! hehehe Aside [...]


bargain hunting online

I found so many household stuff being posted online for sale by expatriates leaving the city. From electronics to kitchen wares, clothes to tools, furniture to shoes, name it, and you can find it! There are few things I like but which aren’t necessary for our house (which we’re renting). hehehe I am trying hard [...]


new purchases for 2011?

How time flies! It’s the middle of January already and some of us still can’t get enough of the holidays. Some are still on shopping mode, buying gifts for themselves, for another reason. For them, it’s a nice way to start the New Year right with owning something brand new whether it would be a [...]


sale on new year

Right after the New Year started, shops and malls were going on sale! Ugh! Just when you’re done with major shopping for gift-giving, they slash down their prices. I’m quite frustrated coz I wanted to get the kids new winter clothes in preparation for next year, but the Christmas shopping just blew our money off. [...]


be grateful with whatever you receive

So the gifts have been given, and what have you got? Gift certificates to your favorite store? A bottle of wine? A designer bag? How about a box of free cigars?  A pair of socks? Whatever it is you received, aren’t you thankful for the person who gave you these things? for caring enough to [...]


that fifth avenue in new york

The mere mention of fifth avenue immediately gives me the impression of upscale stores and luxurious hotels. According to a research, 5th avenue is among (if not the most) expensive street in the world. Oh yeah, the rich and the famous shops there alright. And for a fit for a king accommodation, there’s the setai [...]


to shop or not to shop

Only 10 days to go till Christmas, haven’t bought anything yet for anybody. Sigh. Shopping is a major problem coz we have two small kids that we have to tag along where ever we go and usually, they don’t cooperate much. They behave for probably an hour and after that we have to hurry out [...]
