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

shopping for sun shade

You wouldn’t normally catch me browsing through car and truck accessories‘ aisle. First, I don’t drive my own car much less know how to drive; second, I don’t have any interest whatsoever with men’s stuff. But one day I was standing at the auto section, looking intently for something. Well, there’s finally something [...]


shopping challenge

Shopping has become a challenge for me and hubby since we had our little girl.  We always have to rush especially when she starts to get impatient or when she wants to run around the store to pick up things that attract her.
Last week we were in the mall and I decided to check out [...]


providing for our kids’ needs

Babies are always given extra love and attention by their parents, families and even strangers. Who can resist the cute and helpless little creatures who just babble and smiles at you?
When I was expecting my daughter, my husband and I were so excited for her coming that we kept ourselves busy by shopping for [...]


when the husband goes shopping

Recently, my husband has been shopping for different electronic products. Last December, he bought a home server where he saved all our files. The other month he bought a 22″ LG flat screen for his computer; last week it was a JVC micro component and two days after that, in came a 24″ Sony [...]


small to large, ugh!

We were in the mall last Tuesday and I was tempted to buy couple of tee shirts when we passed by a boutique. I’m aware that I don’t anymore fit in the small size. So I took the medium size and tried it on. Geezzz! To my dismay, it feels a bit [...]


what to read?

It’s been more than half a year that I haven’t read a book. My last visit to the bookstore was last month, but I didn’t buy any book for myself. With all the multitude of choices in front of me, I wasn’t able to pick a good one to read during my short [...]


choosing a gift for him

I have been thinking what nice gift to give my hubby when we see each other again. Last Christmas, I didn’t give it much thought coz we’re far from each other. But our temporary separation would end next month and I want to give him his belated Christmas gift. I’m not quite [...]


year-end sale

There’s a lot of year-end sale going on in shops this time. I think it’s the best time to buy supplies for the next year like laptop memory because it is cheap. The memory usage of a laptop is 85% so it’s better to have bigger memory. As per my sister’s experience, her [...]


shopping mishap

Shopping in a hurry can lead to mishaps! It sure did happen last night when we did our shopping. It was already nearing closing time when we finally decided on which pair of shoes to buy for my little girl.  I thought we chose the right size, but I realized only this morning [...]


affordable eyeglasses

These days when money is tight and prices of commodities are high, it’s best to be practical. Shopping on sale items and less inexpensive products can stretch your money a bit more. That’s why I like shopping during mall-sale coz you can really save a lot. Just like my recent purchase last night.
Anyway, when [...]
