new layout

i have been MIA for a couple of weeks: first, due to globe's network problem, and second, i was looking for a layout. i know my new layout is not really shopaholic-ish but it's uber cute. and finally, i got to show my "follow" button.

so here's to new beautiful things this september and to more shopping sprees!

Cute Finds: Little Twin Stars Passport Holder

While i was buying a gift for my niece, the "SALE" sign at Gift Gate caught my attention. I rummaged through the sale stuff but some are either too big or to small for my niece so i just roamed around the store. I have been checking out Hello Kitty stuff which are a bit expensive until i reached the counter, I saw the Little Twin Stars. Awww! i became nostalgic in an instant since these characters were rampant in my childhood. Since I only have one sibling, our parents, relatives and god parents give us both gifts on special occasions. and perhaps, they "saw" us  as the Little Twin Stars. hehehe

So, I checked out the passport holder ad it costs only Php130. it's one of the cheapest stuff at Gift Gate by the way. so i bought it.

Aside from the pasport, you can place your (folded) ticket and some identification card in the plastic flaps in this holder.

And it's so cute it came with "instructions".:)

So basically, it's your normal passport holder, only much cuter!
It is also available in Hello Kitty design which surprisingly is not pink.

RCBC-MNG Credit Card

So here's the corpus delicti why I am indebted. I have always received application forms via email from MNG asking me to apply for their RCBC-MNG Card. But i didn't try since I have a "negative occupation" and most  of my officemates always almost got denied in the application. But i gave it a try after the third email.

I filled-out the form photocopied my ID and gave my application to MNG. i told myself that i just wanted the card and won't use it. seriously, for a shopaholic like me it's the biggest irony! hehehe

After two weeks, i got my card! yahoo! I have been an extension of my Dad and brother so i really got excited that i have my own!

the black card is POSH! it's a wallet-candy!and i got a credit limit of Php20,000!

the perks:
gives an exclusive cardholders only access on sale season and gives 0% interest for 3 to 6 months on MNG purchases. how it works? i still do no know.

as if a premonition, the magnetic strip of my card got scratched after a couple of days.

when i called RCBC's hotline number, they told me that they can replace the card for free but i have to try it at two terminals first to see it it works. so that's what i did. it didn't work at Kamiseta's terminal, but 9 terminals after i'm almost maxed out! hala!

haven't received my statement yet so this blog to be continued.

Book Review: Girls Rule

Book: Girls Rule
Author: Ashley Rice, Blue Mountain Arts

Anyone who knows me will simply know why i bought the book.:) but there's more to its pinkness why i bought it.

First: it is on sale. it costs Php99 only. Chapters & Pages were having their sale last August at Megamall.
Second: its Pink. okay so you got me. but aside from being pink, I really was curious on what's inside -- a story or quotes or illustrations. but amidst Ashley Rice's books i chose this one. i think it's perfect for me. hehehe





So what's inside? a load full of cuteness and girly-ness! so here's a sneak peek:

Exhibit A: the caveat

the book already gave a caveat that it is especially for girls so NO BOYS ALLOWED! hehehe

Exhibit B: to prove cuteness and girly-ness

the glossy pages are "filled" with quotes and cute drawings.
judging from its back cover it's definitely a fun read.

Exhibit C: why "Girls Rule"

the verdict:
it was worth the Php99.it's being sold for $10 or Php450 online. i was able to read it from cover to cover when i ordered and waited an apple pie from Mc Donald's. and for someone like me who had read so much books for the pass 5 years, this is a good break from it all. the book provides the what-to-dos or the must-haves of every girl. i will not say that it's a no-brainer book but it's a fun read and definitely good to be included in my shelf.so imma buy some more books by Ashley Rice it they're on sale.

Haul: Forever 21

I've been entering Forever21 at SM Megamall almost everyday but i never got the chance to shop. There were certain pieces i'm looking for but didn't seem to find. Until one Monday night, while waiting for my friend I roamed and window shopped at F21.

I was looking for the beige shorts with caramel brown belt but I didn't have any size left. *sigh* but while i was roaming around, a leather jacket immediately caught my attention. i knew i shouldn't let it pass so i grabbed it then looked for other stuff. and this, my fellow shopaholic is my F21 haul:

the black top. it costs only Php125.cheap right?

on its first week, i found gladiator sandals which cost less than Php500. But then again since there's no size left for me, i bought this silver sandals for Php618.

and finally, the brainchild of this haul: the F21 leather jacket! i guess it's the highest priced so far - Php2,055. i so love jackets so i never thought twice when i bought it.

the yellow shopping bag is quite noticeable. and i like the fact that it's biodegradable. but imma buy one eco tote from F21 soon to add up to my collection.

and i noticed the "John 3:16" at the bottom of the bag. and thanks wikipedia for answering why: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forever_21

it was a nice and fulfilling shopping night for me. i have to buy shorts, bags and accessories especially the eiffel tower ones and the set earrings. so if i were you, drop by to Forever 21 at SM Megamall. I heard that H&M signed a contract with SM. Can't wait!

Froyo Freebie: The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf

i have a soft spot for Coffee Bean, especially the one located at Gateway Mall Cubao. My good friend/study buddy/fellow cardaholic Mark spent the last couple of months before the bar exams having our breakfast, having a drink until dinner and study in a specific spot there. Thanks to Lady who always boosts our confidence while we're there.

it's like almost a year has passed and i haven't been to Coffee Bean. and this morning, almost exactly as the send-off, this surprised me in my email:



too bad that the  nearest CBTL that offers this froyo is like two hours away. but i might drop by Promenade to taste the difference soon.This offer courtesy of my Swirl Card.
