I also saw Japan versions, with pastel colors. Those go for about 11-12k just for the actual unit. No free game or memory stick. I'm glad we decided to purchase this online.
Daxter isn't a bad game either. It's fun for me. My gamer boyfriend enjoys it so far. Can't wait to borrow games from a PSP fanatic from work so we can have variety too...
My dad's arrival also meant that there were goodies from our relatives there. I got a brand new Levi's bag courtesy of Aunt Tessa who never fails to send bags for the ladies. Last time, we got Liz Claiborne bags that I over used! Hahaha...
His arrival also meant a trip to Duty Free Shopping. It was a little different this time because we didn't go to the home section. We totally forgot! It was mostly because we had to grocery shop for my cousins because that was the instruction from another uncle who sent money for them. It was fun though. :)
Mom and I both got Epsrit perfumes, I got one for boyfriend too.
Of course I picked up a bottle of Bailey's, and two bags of Reese cups. There's lots of chocolates too. Yummy. I'm good for the next two weeks or so. Hehehhe :)
Thanks for Tito Boy for sending 50 USD for my shopping pleasure. :)
I received the second and last* of the goodies I shopped online from Multiply, this time from another shop.
I got me a cute pink ballerina earring stand. I didn't expect it to be so small though, but it's still okay for the price I got it for. And it still holds a good number of pairs, so that's just fine. Having one though, makes me want to have a good dresser with a nice big mirror and kikay organizer in my room. I don't really need one though hehehe. :)
With the package was my big shimmery brown bowler bag (no, I don't know why it's called a bowler bag). This one, I didn't expect to be as big. My mom could really use it for her overnight trips or day trips to provinces on weekends when she needs to work. I probably won't be using this bag too much, but I would love to, even as huge as it is :)
When I made the purchase, I actually thought the bag had a vinyl-like texture to it, but it doesn't. I can't quite describe its texture though, kinda rough, but not still ok to touch.
I love my new bag!
(*when I say last, I meant last for the time being.)
Yesterday, the bangles I purchased from an online shop over at Multiply were delivered. Each piece is so cute!
I bought those bangles there because they were a steal at the price I got them. There's an accessory stand in our building and they carry pretty much the same items. The one's I purchased were priced at about 50 pesos more in that shop! Paying for shipping still made the online shop a cheaper alternative. (I know there are probably shops in Greenhills and Divisoria where I could get those items cheaper, but this way it was hassle free. And I would have ended up spending more with taxi fare and food)
I found out on Sunday that there's a new used-books store in our building and since I was still at work til about 10am, I decided to go ahead and check it out. I do not regret going there! They have a great collection of books there and they restock on a weekly basis. I bought three books today and had three others reserved! All bargain prices when the books were in very good condition!
Over the weekend, I placed an order for a PSP Lite! yay! Boyfriend and I talked about it a lot the past couple of weeks and we decided that my dad's trip to the US this month would be a good time to purchase it. I had the goods delivered to my uncle's house and my dad will pick it up in about two weeks. Can't wait!
Seems like I've been getting a lot of retail therapy, but to be honest, it still hasn't cured what's been bothering me. I don't expect it to, though.
Perhaps I'll be cutting my spending for the time being. I declare a moratorium on shopping for accessories!
Did I mention that I also placed an order for a bag and an earring holder? Hehe, I'll post pics when they arrive (not that anyone's interested). After this, I won't order anything for a while. :)
It was (is) payday weekend and boyfriend also got his leave conversions, having turned one year as an employee of the company. This meant shopping for us both. :)
I got a pair of jeans and a polo shirt top, boyf got pants too. We also got a blouse as a belated birthday gift for her mom.
I have a Multiply account that is mostly used to access friends' Multiply pages, and the online stores that abound there. I saw this high havs that I wanted to order, and checkered wedges. I was already determined to purchase them, until I saw alternatives at the mall.
The pumps really looked like the one on the online store, except for the print. It's about 110 pesos cheaper though. :) The havs I wanted from the online shop had a different color. It was good that Rustan's had stocks of that one because I was able to see that the color does not match my skintone! I got a purplish one instead and I love it! :)
I've already worn both on my weekend shifts. My feet didn't hurt despite having to walk around a lot. Specially on Saturday night.
Aside from our stuff, we bought supplies for little Zune too. He now has his own bed!
He still doesn't sleep on it though. He sleeps next to it. He's using it like a pillow! I told boyf on Friday that we could just get him a big bone pillow since he loves his small pillow to pieces. He said no because it isn't a proper bed. So we got this one instead.
So far, he hasn't used it for actual sleeping, but he's exploring and getting more familiar with it as the days go.
When we brought it home on Saturday, the kids D and E came over and played with Zune and helped him check out the bed. E actually tried it for himself!
We had problems buying canned food for him though. For the past month, he's loved eating the canned food we got on sale from his vet, Science Diet. Since it was on sale, to clear stocks before the expiration date, we were able to buy without a problem. We still mixed it with dry food though. Now that they are out of the sale stocks, I found out exactly how expensive it's going to be to maintain him on it. So we're slowly trying other good alternatives. We'll also wean him back to having more dry food than canned, since it's more packed with protein and nutrients.
