Shopaholic Pinay Strikes Again...

Ha-ha, Yes, I went shopping again!!!!!

After lunch I went to the parlor which was again inside a mall (Robinsons Galleria) to have a hair cut and hair treatment. I was scheduled to meet my friend at 4:30 PM so that was just right on time after my parlor thingy.


So, I had my hair cut and treatment starting at 2 PM. The thing is I finished early at 4PM. Since I know that my friend is not yet ready, I decided to check out some of the stores. Being a shopaholic, I ended up buying another clutch bag, blouse and earrings. This in a span of 30 minutes by just visiting 2 stores. Imagine if I visited more stores...Ha-ha, I think if I were to join a shopping contest I'd win assuming the mechanics were to buy as much items as you can in the shortest period of time.

At 4:30 met-up with my friend and decided to go to the Negros Fair at Rockwell. Its a bazaar showcasing some of the best items/food from Negros Occidental (Visayas Region). It was a bit of a disappointment because there were just a few stalls but of course being who I am, I was still able to buy a few stuff. I bought some dried fish, squid rings, barquillos, dulong (kind of fish in the Philippines) fried in olive oil and some cheese dip. Aside from that, I also bought some baskets and I bought my Mom a crucifix which I intend to give her as my Christmas present.



After our visit at the Negros Fair, we went around the mall again. Unfortunately, there were a lot of people which is so unusual. It was not too conducive to shop so I was not able to buy anything. We decided to just go to Fully Booked and I bought some magazines: Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping and Real Living. Hmm, my visit to a book store will not be complete without buying my romance novels, I only bought 2 since the others didn't really catch my fancy.


Then we had dinner at Cibo and went home early because I have to wake up at 7 AM tomorrow for that wedding out of town (Tagaytay).


Ooopss, I have to stop now because hubby just got back from his fishing trip. Time to spend some time together because we practically didn't see each other....

Shopaholic in Distress

I was so distressed last Friday and Saturday.Imagine, I went to the mall last Friday intending to buy books but of course on the side I also wanted to buy maybe some shoes or household stuff. But then, the mall was over crowded because of the pay day weekend sale.



It was so frustrating to shop because there were too many people trying to grab the discounted items in the different shops inside the mall. Plus the fact that the cashiers had long lines and it would take you 30 minutes to purchase an item.So, I just ended up buying my romance books.



Oh, by the way I'm still into this and I'm addicted with romance novels especially Mills and Boon. Its so easy to read and its a low brainer (ha-ha-ha). Some of friends accuse me as being to cheezy because of my fondness with these kinds of books but I don't really care.


Anyway, enough of that. Come Saturday I went to another mall this time hoping to find some shoes. To my dismay, the style that I wanted didn't have a size for me. This again is one of my furstrations, I have small feet and my shoe size is only 4.5 or 5 depending on the style.


As a result, it was a distressing two days for me. Oh well, better luck next time....
