What is Wrong With My Destiny?

I did not mean to leave this blog site outdated. Believe me, I was going nuts and frustrated already for not being online. I realized, I can live without my mobile phone, but not without the Internet. And yes, if that st*pid cybercrime law will be passed, I will probably end up in the mental hospital.

I was out last Friday to pick up some prizes. Many thanks again to Charmee and Pascual Labs. Then the hubby and I had a sumptuous dinner buffet at Seoul Garden in SM North Annex. Then bought some toys at Toy Kingdom and headed home.

I opened the modem because I want to check my online accounts but I only got two green and one orange lights. I should have four green lights. It was late already so I said, maybe in the morning it will be back. We went out Saturday morning. When we came back in the afternoon, my connection was back, but only for a couple of hours. It did not return anymore until this morning. It conked out again and just went alive now.

I do not know what the problem is. It is so frustrating and contacting the customer service adds insult to the injury. Jusko, after 2 hours of dialing, chaka lang may sumagot ng call ko! Imagine that? I would have rested my case but I was out of connection since Friday! And no technical team came by to check my complaint! Ka high-blood!!!

Elegant Women in Fur Coats

If I were rich I would buy myself a fur coat. Women who wear fur looks so classy and chic. I am only gonna wear faux fur though since I do not want any animals killed just for the sake of making a coat. A lot of designers say that they only sell synthetic furs which you can easily determine. Fake fur feels rough while real fur feels very soft to the touch. I prefer fox fur coats among the other types such as Mink, Rabbit, Beaver, Raccoon, Chinchilla, and Lamb. They are fluffy and warm, great for high fashion trims like collars, wraps, and cuffs.

My First Great Brazilian Madness Experience

The Great Brazilian Madness started last Monday, September 24, at the Trinoma Activity Center. I vowed that I will be there very early on the first day. Since Saturday, I have been reminding my husband about my Monday plans, just so you know, there will be no problems, since I am really busy during weekday mornings as my eldest goes to an afternoon a noon class at school.

So I made sure I prep the eldest early and left when she was about to eat her brunch. I was at Trinoma at about 10:15AM. I thought there will be less people since it is still very early but lo and behold, I found a long line around the activity center! The organizers made sure people will come in in an organized manner. Kudos to them for doing that. I just wished they handed us with eco bags already where we can put our loots upon entering (which they did after a while to other buyers). I was holding several pieces already when I realized my hands cannot hold them anymore. In less than an hour, the activity center was jam-packed and the lines to the cashier was already long!

I was a bit disappointed for the kids’ collection because the ones I like do not have sizes for my tots. These are the buy 1 take 1 pieces. I still ended up buying two pairs for each of the girls. Aside from the long lines at the cashier, I have no other qualms about this sale. (Oh, I remember that there were people who bought stuff by boxes, and what they got were not displayed at all. I just wish there will be equality among all buyers. Well, sila na ang may koneksiyon.)

I love that there are such sales near me. If this sale was held in The Fort, even if I want to buy myself and the girls some of these Brazilian footwear, I will not go.

This is my loot. I bought 14 pairs, 1 not in the picture. I spent more or less PhP5500. Kelangan kumayod ng bongga!

If you will go to such sale events in the future, I suggest the following:

1. Do not bring any kids. The place will become too crowded and many people are not considerate enough. Wala silang paki-alam kung mabangga nila ang ulo ng anak mo as long as they get what they want. Instead, be sure of their sizes.

2. Be early. Maaga na ako ha pero mahabang pila pa rin inabot ko.

3. Bring food and water. Kahit makapili ka agad pero mag-isa ka, you will spend most of your time lining up at the cashier. So you will not get hungry like what happened to me, bring something you can eat and drink. Special thanks to Ms. Reg of Jollibee Trinoma for buying my food.

4. Bring someone with you if possible so that someone can line up to the cashier while you buy your stuff.

5. Bring a lot of patience.
