I Don't Want to Wait in Line...that Long!
Saturday, May 21, 2011
We are in the age that almost everything is at the click of the finger. I just couldn't imagine what life will be if we ever go back some 30 years back. I don't think we're used to it anymore. Picture yourself in a grocery store without a barcode scanner. With all the stuff people are buying, I think it would take more than 30 minutes of lining up in the cashier. Do you ever want to go back to that era when everything is manually done? I know you'd answer no way all caps. Let's face it, life was made easier for us by those computers and all.
Macau - The Return
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
So many activities yet no time to blog them all or even visit my links. I'm not even done with posting our family's recent trip to Macau and I'm leaving again tomorrow with Queenie, BFF Edna and her 3 younger girls Zian, Lian and Dian. Since Rhea is not coming along, she said it's enough that I just buy her some choices of iphone accessories, a pair of rubber shoes and a pink ice watch. Well I'm thankful for paid posts and still hoping for more offers to augment my shopping money.
Cyber Monday Shopping
Thursday, February 26, 2009
This may sound a bit odd to some of you but for shopaholics out there, the expression Cyber Monday rings a bell. Based on what I have read, the term originated or was conceived by Shop.org and was used within the ecommerce group during the 2005 holiday season. According to its head, the term was created based on research showing that 77% of online merchants reported a significant increase in sales on the Monday after Thanksgiving in 2004. Since then, the idea has survived the test of time and has evolved into a significant marketing event because online retailers offer low prices and promotions. So why not shop on the Web on Cyber Monday?

To avoid the Christmas Rush
Monday, December 29, 2008
Well as usual, I always cram and do my last minute shopping the day before Christmas day itself. On the first month of the New Year, I always plan to buy gifts as early as I can but always break this promise. Anyways I will still keep this plan open and shop whenever there are sale items around in preparation for the Holidays. Cross my heart, promise, peks man.
Mega Sale everywhere
Thursday, August 7, 2008
I have been trying my very best to shun myself from mall visits lately which has been continuously draining my pockets. Why? It’s because I cannot resist from enticing sale items in every corner and end up picking up stuffs that I really don’t need. Eventually, things shopped for will just go to my cabinet or storeroom and in the long run be forgotten. What a waste!

Shopping – the best therapy!
Saturday, June 28, 2008
I’m up on both feet again after my bouts with unsolicited pains from head to toe. Friend Edna with eldest Chiclet dropped by our home (before heading to their office) for gluta i.v. to be administered by my daughter Rhea. Just before they came, Rhea phoned her Tita Edna asking where they are heading for after because there’s a big sale at Rockwell today. Without hesitation Edna answered “oh well, my schedule is flexible”. So that’s it!
Time Out! (?)

Well at least I had some time off from barangay hectic duties although I would say not totally off because I can no longer do away with it, hehehe sounds confusing.
I had my diamond peel and enroled in a 10 session package plus last minute shopping for a few gifts for my staff and friends.
BTW, I appreciate my mom-in-laws generous gifts for almost all the families in my Barangay (but I labeled them "from Vergara Family" siempre naman!) consisting of 2 kilos rice, canned goods, noodles, etc. some were given thermoses and plastic plates.

Shopping at Tutuban Mall
Thursday, November 15, 2007
No! it was not really my intention to shop. I just requested my appointed barangay secretary and treasurer to submit at the Liga ng mga Barangay (Manila City Hall) the list of names of my Barangay Council who have confirmed to join the Baguio Seminar on the 21st to the 23rd of this month (I*m so excited!!!) and so with the Personal Data sheets at the Barangay Bureau then proceed to 168 to buy the roped christmas lights and lanterns I am donating to lighten up the 10 posts of our barangay since the budget for the Christmas Decors will not be released (according to the previous leaders) because of the change in barangay administration, hehehe, that was their big excuse! I also noticed that the previous leaders are no longer interested in doing their tasks until they end their term on the 30th of this month. Barangay tanods are no longer visible and even the street posts lights were no longer turned on as I noticed the previous days. My gosh! I don't want to be branded as an *eager beaver* to meddle around so I just have to wait until my initial assumption on Dec. 1st comes.
Anyways, daughter Rhea expressed her desire to go to Divisoria so mommy just can*t refuse , whoaaaaah? So from 168 we headed to Tutuban Mall and here are the stuffs I got. You can view PICTURES HERE.

Christmas Shopping, etc.
Tuesday, August 28, 2007
As early as the second week of this month my MIL (ma-in-law) with me started out shopping for Christmas give-aways for clients and their staffs. My college friend Macoy, the Operations and Store Manager of the Landmark Department Store together with her able personnel helps us make shopping easy and convenient.We normally shop in bulk for gift items and leave everything for wrapping, store them in big boxes for easy pick up and storage at home.
Last Saturday she called to inform me that we will go to Clark (Economic Zone selling PX goods) the next day to buy imported towels for give-aways. I'm glad she assigns me the task of suggesting and choosing the kinds of items that she readily approves while sitting down most of time waiting for me. You may ask why she still comes along? Why not totally leave the job to me? Well, it's because she wants to oversee everything, loves to shop and handle every minute details of the business including the entire life of her children down to her grand grand kids. No I'm not ranting (medyo lang, hehe) in fact I salute her for her energy and prowess though she's 77 but still strong. She's one super momma who will sacrifice everything for her 3 sons.
The skyflakes story
Done with the give-away shopping, we transferred to another store. While she was tired and waiting in the car, she told me she want something hot to take. I bought her coffee at McDonald's and mixed it for her with sugar and creme but later ask for toasted bread to dip in her coffee, eh wala naman nun sa McDo. So I got off the car to buy her some crackers. As she tasted the skyflakes crackers she said and thinking it may be imported "Oh this is good and not that salty compared to ones I've tasted, go grab 10 more packs because I'll give them to my sis, bro, to Rey and Ronnie the diabetics. Go taste it", giving me some, my tita A her cousin who was with us and even the driver. We all agreed but I can't help my big mouth with a burst of laughter and said "Nay, local lang yan gawang Cainta by M.Y. San" (Ma, it's locally made from Cainta)..... haha weird noh? But then Tita A went back to the shop but only one was left in the counter. "Oh, let's pass by another grocery to compare" hahaha she was insistent.
