My Crocs MegaSale 2013 Experience

I am always a fan of comfy yet stylish shoes. It's never been easy to find and get this perfect combo without paying a good price. Yeah, a price that sometimes can ripped off your pocket. I am a self confessed "salepaholic" coz I only avail real good stuffs during price cutdowns. 

I want to give my million thanks to Twitter and Instagram where I found out the Crocs Megasale infos. I live 8 hours away from Manila but distance didn't stop me to experience this once in a year event. 

I arrived in the Metro at 5:00 AM and after taking my breakfast and a quick shower, I went straight to NBC Tent, that's quiet far from my place in Sta Mesa but thanks goodness cos there was no heavy traffic during those early hours. I was a bit surprise when I saw people queuing earlier than me. I was like, "oh no, I'm not the first one"... I was maybe on the 50th but the best part was I was able to get a seat and waited for almost 4 hours under a shed/tent.

At 10 AM, finally, the gate was opened and everybody was very excited and yes, that includes me. I went inside with my big red and white striped bag which they provided on site. At first, I didn't know what to choose cos there are gazillions of crocs shoes. It's like I was in a factory loaded with boxes and boxes and boxes of shoe wears. I needed to make a round first while others were like in a competition struggling to get their eyed designs and sizes. Others were enjoying fitting and finally putting in their plastic bags. I then organized my thoughts and started to shop. 

I collected pairs and went to a corner with my calculator and just like in an exam, I did the process of elimination. It was great cos I can see others doing the same thing. I ended up buying 8 pairs all in all plus a bag with a free crocs strap.

It was a very memorable, exciting and enjoyable experience to be a part of this event, and I will go for more future price cut down again and again and again. It's my favorite shoe wear brand already because of the comfort and lightweight it offers. It's all worth the wait. Thank you @crocsPh!

Just Got Lucky!

Online shopping  has now become a "peg"  to busy people who work beyond mall/shop hours or to those who do not find malling interesting or to someone like me who is looking for big discounts, good deals or the famous "online offers only" tags.

I have been looking for a reliable, legitimate and trusted sellers online aside from sites like +eBay and +Amazon.com for stuffs I can't find locally. I tried purchasing from these two giant sites via +PayPal and I did not get any problems nor complications with the transactions. This experience gave me the confidence to shop online.

Last December, I was able to convinced my parents to get me a tablet and they asked me where will they buy, but I told them to just hand me the money and I'll take care of it. So I started researching what would be the best for me with regards to my lifestyle and personality. I eyed for an iPad mini because I tried Apple's iPhone and iPod already which didn't fail me so far. I checked the tablet's price but unfortunately it didn't fit my budget that's why I just decided not to buy yet and waited for future price drops. One time as I was browsing my Facebook account I found this online page named Kimstore. I checked the gadgets and obviously they have lower prices compared to other shops. I read some feed backs  and I found it reliable, so from then on I always spend a minute or two in their page looking for new updates until my budget fits on the gadget I wanna avail. I was supposed to do a meet up with them but to my big surprise I saw this post! A BIG YES for me!!!

I had  a second thought  after reading this because I kept asking myself where can I find a shop offering a 5K off? I mean this is too good to be true isn't it? A business needs a profit more than the capital. But honestly, I did not get into my non REM sleep thinking about this promo that's why the next day, I sent a tweet to @kimstore Twitter account as stated in guideline No. 1 and good thing...response was quick.

As soon as I reached home, I placed my order via +Shop at Multiply site, proceeded to checkout and look, it's true, 5K was deducted from the total cost using the promo code Kimstore had provided.

After that, I received this email from Multiply.

I paid via BPI because according to my readings, it is faster than credit cards when it comes to verifications.

After that, an email from Multiply was received together with Kimstore's comment about the shipping details.

The next day, I received my item via LBC, safe and sound.

Here! Finally....

Together with this is a letter from Miss Kim and the warranty slip.

It was a quick and hassle free transaction from Kimstore! I recommend this shop to my friends, and of course, I am thankful for the discount! More power Kimstore! xx

In a relationship with The BIG GUY

I should be writing this blog the next coming days but I just can't stop myself coming infront of my laptop. It's like there's a force pulling me near and a voice telling me, "Come on, write, share and bless others." So here I am, I found myself, writing something worth reading for, I'm sure.

In my last blog, I wrote about "the need of something worth remembering  first purchase for the new year", and you know what, I bought not just worth remembering but the best ever book existing in a man's world. I love reading books especially the inspirational ones or something that is with regards about our Creator.

 Last year, I bought Pastor Ru dela Torre's Roadtrip and Back on Track which changed  my perception about relationships. I didn't know about this two books until one of my friends in Twitter and also a classmate of mine in the med school started to read it, and then, he shared the words by posting the quotable quotes which really caught my attention. I went the next day to the bookstore but it was out of stock so I need to wait for a few weeks and finally got them in Manila. After I finished reading, my friends borrowed them and last Christmas, I gave it as a present to a friend of mine. I don't have a picture of the two books but I give the credits to the one who owns this which I got it from the internet.

Back on Track and Roadtrip

Another book that I have read last year was Joshua Harris's I Kissed Dating Goodbye. It's obviously about dating, how to wait patiently and the importance of singleness. It's suited to single ladies and bachelors out there.

I Kissed Dating Goodbye

This year, I am so keen in building a closer relationship with Him. I decided to buy something that will remind me that I am loved and favored in everything I do as long as it is based on the best ever written book by the most powerful author named God. I lost my youth bible two years ago and since then, I used the internet to read for the Words. It's convenient but there are times that connection isn't good so I have to buy a bible, where I can bring and read anywhere I go, with or without an internet connection. 

I was surprised when I was in the bookstore because I planned to get NIV, black in color, soft bound bible as a typical one looked like....But charannnn....Girly, fashionable, colorful ones came in my way! I was so excited and I had a hard time choosing what color should I get. From tangerines to purple, tell it, they have it! 

Isn't it nice?

I super love this!

I bought this purple/green shades combination because I really like it and it looks so chic! Actually, the cover isn't important, but it adds color for enjoyable reading to the Words.

While on the queue for payment, I also saw this one and got it for daily readings.

I am so excited to know more about Him. I guess this is worth buying for and I am so much sure I made the best purchase this year! Happy reading! :)

Get The Ball Rollin' 2013

I wanna greet each and everyone a Happy New Year! Yuhooo! A new year to face and enjoy the abundance of life! So it's a fact, 12/21/12 "end of the world" gossips aren't true! Can everybody shout,

W-E-L-C-O-M-E  2-0-1-3!!!

Well, first and foremost, I really don't know how to start my new year. I want something memorable or something worth remembering, so, it's kinda hard to decide what to do or what to buy as my firsts this year. Because I am a home buddy nowadays ( seriously! ), I cannot plan anything interesting aside from my wild imaginations. LOL! Oh yes!..you read it right, wild imaginations!I need environmental stimulations, I guess. But don't get me wrong I am talking about something far from what you are thinking right now. Peace ya'll!

A month ago,  promoters came to our university for some offers about a newly opened spa within the vicinity (I study in Vigan City). Me and my classmates signed up for a membership worth 400Php with a lot of freebies and coupons which I think was a good deal since we always go to spa for relaxations after stressful days at the uni. We girls deserve something like this, and it's far better than shopping! I sound like being defensive at this point... :)

I went to Bare and Bloom Spa after my class today to finally enjoy my privileges and reward myself for all my achievements last year. The place is located in Casa Maria,just  the corner of Gen Luna and Gen Reyes St. Honestly, I had a hard time looking for the place because of the enchanting one way streets of the city. Well, if you like walking, it's just a few yards nearby to the more famous Red Dot Boutique. 

Reception 

I wasn't able to avail my freebies because I didn't not book for an appointment. Yes, you need to book an appointment before going there because they got only 3 therapists, instead I had a foot spa. I waited for about 20 minutes for them to prepare their stuffs. The waiting area is just infront the reception.

Inside the Spa

I always have a hard time when I go for foot spa, I still have this tickling effect and it's so funny that I need to stop myself from being violent. I don't want to hurt the therapist though. It's like, if I'm going to die laughing, I should go to a spa and let it done. Hahaha! Well, overall, the service is quick but not as like as the other spas, they don't have the relaxing ambiance which I always love. To make it short, it's budget friendly.

Happy Feet

So, this is my first treat to myself this year, and I'll be posting on my next blog the first ever purchase I had. Always remember, relax and have fun! Have a break, have a spa date :)
