Patterns and more funky patterns!

February 28, 2012 by Anna โ€” Leave a Comment
Filed Under: Retail Therapy, Reviews

Don’t you just hate it that when you’re (financially) broke, it’s also the time when you’re in places where you suddenly find the things that you want to buy like in the mall? I do. I really, really do.

I did some splurging yesterday morning at the mall. ๐Ÿ™ Armed with less than a thousand pesos and a strict to-do list for my visit there and a mindset that I will not purchase anything except for food. 3 hours later, I came home carrying a shopping bag from the mall’s department store.

I suck. I have no self-discipline when it comes to shopping. Heck, I’m saving for a lot of stuff such as a 55-250mm lens, a blu-ray DVD player, books, proper clothes (by that I mean lady clothes, not the usual graphic tshirts that I need to stop wasting my money on). As the months of (still) being unemployed grow longer, the faster my money is starting to be spent on things. ๐Ÿ˜

But who can resist these, um, what are these type of shoes called again?

They’re so pretty. I passed by the rack where they were displayed on my way out of the department store and I just had to take a second look. The first thing I usually do when I see anything I like is to look at the price tag, and to my surprise it’s less than $10! I had just enough money to get two pairs, and here they are!

New pick-ups!

November 22, 2011 by Anna โ€” 2 Comments

I’m probably using the term ‘pick ups’ in the wrong context but I couldn’t think of anything right now. Yeah, obviously I didn’t buy shoes, you can cross that off the list. I thought it sounded cool tho, so.. ๐Ÿ˜›

So okay, what a day. I was out from morning – afternoon doing errands and personal errands. My entire afternoon was spent roaming around SM Mall of Asia until the person I’m supposed to meet shows up on our agreed time so I can get these new gadgets I ordered this morning. I’m certain that I have went around the entire mall in that 3 hours of waiting.

Three hours later, I got a confirmation text saying that the guy is at the meeting place and just approach him so I can pay up and get my items.

Sounds sleazy, huh? That’s what I thought, too. Lol. When I met the person (probably just one of the assistants of the person who runs the business where I got my gadgets), he seemed harmless. Anywaaaay!

New toys!!!

New toys!!!

Can you guess which album this little birdy is from?

Aside from the obvious that I bought myself a new digicam and an external flash for my DSLR, can you guess what’s the other item that I bought? ๐Ÿ˜›

Recent Hauls

September 11, 2011 by Anna โ€” 2 Comments
Filed Under: Retail Therapy

I really don’t like to shop sometimes because once I get home and look at the stuff I bought, I start to regret and think I should’ve bought the other pair I was considering instead.

Like this one, for example. I originally wanted this type of shoes in yellow or dark purple but the guy who was manning over the stall kept saying they didn’t have either colors in my size on stock. I dunno but I think he could’ve told me in a more polite way, and I think he was being an asshole towards the customer (me) at that time.

Fine, I’ll choose another color instead.. settled with black and same thing there’s no pair available in my size. Lastly, I’m left with this lame-ass light purple, grey and brown. Fitted all three and they looked awkward with the jeans I wore.

You know by now which one I picked. ๐Ÿ˜•

Current wants

February 16, 2011 by Anna โ€” Leave a Comment

I was going to blog about this weeks ago (and this is the part where I put again another reason why I wasn’t able to do it) BUT a) DSL keeps going bonkers just in time when I was about to click the publish button and it would b) take 24 hours before it goes back to normal again and lastly c) This post would be full of photos from online stores and I didn’t want to use my crappy broadband internet stick to access the net cuz the photos would be pixelated/even more crap than crap (?).

Also, I tried to change this blog’s layout since last night but I haven’t found the perfect theme. ๐Ÿ™ I must’ve downloaded around 6 themes and modified them one way or another but in the end only one of them nearly satisfied me.. until I found this problem with displaying images in a post. A teeny margin/padding problem that I can’t seem to fix even with tinkering the theme’s CSS file.

Jesus, I just want a clean but stylish WordPress theme. Why is it so hard to find a decent website for it?? It’s not like I’m going to rip off the credits and pass it off as my own!! I wouldn’t do that. Grr.

Anyway, current wants! I’m out in the market (online, yeah in case you haven’t figured it out yet haha) looking for these stuff. Unfortunately I can only look but not buy or own any of these because

  • They don’t have it here
  • If they do, it’s probably expensive by a few hundred pesos or more

There was a day when all I did was look online for cardigans, laptop accessories and shoes. Not so much luck with the shoes.. especially when I try to look for a good pair at the malls here.

Image-heavy post. ๐Ÿ˜‰
