Oh My Janey

Daddy’s Pasalubong

My father arrived from Italy last night! I only found out on Thursday night that he’s already coming home. In fact, he was already on the plane when I found out. That’s how good my family is at communication. The good news is that my father’s probably not going back to Italy. We’ve been nagging him to not go back for a few years now. Finally!

Anyway, let me say first that my father loves to spoil me and my sister. He pretty much loves to give us all the material things in the world, even those that we do not need or want. In fact, it takes my mother, ate, and I to stop him from buying so many things. It’s kind of awkward how the only one in my family who likes branded stuff is my father. I could care less if my shirt’s from Divisoria but my father loves buying at those expensive stores.

This time, I only asked him to buy for me one thing: a portable 1TB external HD. I even told him that I’d pay for it but he told me that I didn’t have to. My parents said that it will serve as their birthday/Christmas gift. So I agreed. But it turned out that he bought me other things. Well, I could only be grateful, right? I’m blessed to have parents who love me unconditionally and would give me anything, even before I ask. I love you mommy and daddy! :

December Haul

December is the month of wasting money and crying over the wasted money. I don’t know what’s with this month that made me spend much more than usual. It’s the little finds accumulated over time that made me realize that I won’t be buying a Christmas gift for myself this year. Heh. I guess these things are enough. I don’t regret any of these. I am totally in love with everything I bought.

I wouldn’t post everything. It would be too much, and it would showcase my shopping impulsiveness. In my defense, I only buy cheap things. It may be a lot but it’s all cheap. So. [Read more…]

Divisoria Loot

I don’t know why I get too excited whenever my mother mentions that we’re going to Divisoria.  I swear it makes me more giddy than going to the mall.  So last Sunday, I happily accompanied my mother to Divisoria since she needed to buy some stuff for the store.  She didn’t even have to persuade me because I just usually volunteer to tag along.

While she was buying purses and toys, I wandered alone with only a thousand pesos in hand.  It was already big enough; I could buy so much with that stuff. The truth is, a lot of stuff [that i want] in Divisoria are quite pricey now.  I mean, a blouse for 450PHP?  Are you serious?  I can already buy branded clothes with that amount.

But if you look hard enough and if you haggle well, you can really go a long way with just a thousand.  My mother and sister are good hagglers but I’m not.  I feel guilty when haggling with the saleslady that’s why I don’t bargain too much.  I just usually ask for 10-50 PHP decrease from the original price.  But my mother and sister usually starts haggling a hundred peso less than the original price. Hahaha.

So we were only there for about three hours.  I swear I was so bitin, I wanted to explore more.  But I managed to buy a lot more than planned.  I kept in mind though that I should stop buying random shirts and “cute” outfits and focus on finding clothes I can wear to work.  That includes “polo” and I have never worn one in my life.  I feel like it makes me look old.
