Get ready for the shipping boxes
Oct 8, 2008 Mommy talk, on the web, shopping
Oftentimes, when you or your family living abroad or family members working abroad, one thing that keep them busy when holiday season is coming is shopping and packing goodies and presents for the holidays to be sent to their family back home. And as early as this month, I can see some OFW packing already to their balikbayan box.Others would shop one at a time then store them first and once their box is full, it’s time to pack and get ready for the shipment. Usually shipping boxes reached destination almost 1 month depending on the location. And as advised by some of the shipping companies, it’s good to send the shipping boxes early during the holidays as it is the peak season and it might reach the destination late. That said, I think I need to get ready for our shipping box too. I usually shop early Nov but I think it’s too late then, hehe… This is actually our first time. We usually give money for our family back home as our Christmas presents. If we can’t prepare on time, maybe the same old way will be fine, LOL! How about you, done with all your holiday shopping? Do you have a balikbayan box for your family too?
Sweater dress
Jan 24, 2008 on the web, shopping
Since the start of winter season, I’m always on the look out with the different clothing that most of the people dressed up especially the ladies. And one of the styles I love during this season is the sweater dress as it is warm and comfy to wear. Most women wear it with leggings paired with sexy boots, sometimes they put belt on the waist. Here some photos to show you:
and this one of my fave:
Marc By Marc Jacobs Jodie Striped Sweater Dress
I like that… 
These are all fab and made me think to shop, LOL!
Clothing 4 all…
Nov 29, 2007 on the web, shopping
From baby clothes to women’s accessories to men’s clothing and even aprons, clothing4all.com has it… I was browsing this site since the other day and trying to check women’s outerwear. I’m actually looking at the style of their jackets as I’m planning to buy a new one for this winter. ….This morning I went to few shops and checked some jackets but I haven’t seen my type. 
Actually I’m not sure what to get, hahaha… that’s why I’m checking the net so I can get an idea for the color and fashion… I’m planning to shop by next week for us… (goodluck to my wallet… )

Our home smells Satsuma
Oct 9, 2007 shopping
I so love this smell… mmmmmm! 
I tried this light and zesty fragrance oil from The Body Shop, which I bought 2 weeks ago. This is my first time to try this product and yes so really good. It got a lovely aroma scent that filled all over our house. As I said I bought this 2 weeks ago but I use it only today. I left my oil burner in our previous house that’s why I have to get a new one. I went to Ikea this morning but I can’t find the burner I wanted instead I bought a pack of tea light (by 100s) at a cheaper price. I just got the oil burner at the $10 shop , which I’m settled at the meantime. And now our home was filled with this Satsuma Fragrance…. so nice! I tell you, try it!
Fashionable Designer Handbags
Oct 9, 2007 Working Mom, shopping
I am looking for a small handbag that I am planning to give to my Mom on the coming holiday. She loves to collect different type of bags, no wonder I was doing the same thing too. And it was really timing when I spotted these designer handbags on the net under the brand of Bolzano, which has an excellent reputation internationally. They are the carrier of luxury handbags and leather accessories that has taken its market by storm. Currently they sell in Europe, Asia, Central and South America. And because they have been in retail industry for over 15 years, that would mean quality guaranteed. I just browsed on their different collections and yes it looks awesome. I like the styles they have and I’m sure if I’m going to show this to my Mom, she will choose more than one… LOL!
Buying on discounts or promotions
Oct 3, 2007 Working Mom, shopping
Isn’t it great to get discounts or best deals in buying items such as clothes, food and even auto accessories? Me personally I love shopping during store sale or if there are discounts offered or some promotions. That’s a huge savings on our budget and I could even stock for some items that we often use. Like for instance the promo with “buy 2 at discounted price”, that’s a good take for me and one way I usually do to fit into our budget and even have savings.
Samsonite backpack for Bro
Sep 29, 2007 Daily Thoughts, shopping
My brother sent me the photos below of the samsonite bag he spotted during his stay here in Hong Kong last month. He’s itching to get this but for unknown reason, he didn’t buy it. And now he’s asking me to purchase the bag for him and he will send his money to me, …I tried last week to check on the store but I haven’t seen the same bag, mostly are Samsonite luggage bags, which look great. I’m actually tempted to buy because it’s on sale but on the second thought, I’m not going to use it just yet. Now for my bro’s bag, I guess I have to check on other store if they do have that. Hopefully, I could look for one before the holidays, hehe…
