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.
