I think I got most of them already so yeyy. As you know, my wishlist is really more of a personal to-buy list hehe. So yeah, my wish list is my command lol hahaha. I got Stiles, new mugs, a diffuser, Corelle plates, and Tefal cookware. I'm also growing three kinds of Basil now and they're all looking sad huhu. Still on the lookout for cute placemats though, but that can wait.
What's next?
Hotel quality beddings in gray
Most hotel linen suppliers who've gone retail this quarantine only have white available, and I'd like to have the same quality sheets in gray! Any recos?
Messy Bessy Muscle Relief Rub
Still waiting for Messy Bessy to revive this crowd favorite. Hope they don't reformulate using coconut oil cos I'm not a fan of coconut based topical products.
Instapot or any good quality multicooker
I kinda removed this from my previous wishlist but after seeing the Baumann Living Duo, I kinda want a multicooker again! Or not cos it's gonna eat up a lot of space...
Wireless charging case for Apple Airpods 2
There's just so much wires on my desk right now. I have 2 lightning cables (for my phone, tablet, and airpods), microUsb for my fan, DC for my diffuser, and 2 type C for my husband's phone. Argh.
Fast wireless charger
I'm eyeing the Choetech fast wireless charger cos it can charge 2 devices simulataneously but that's gonna wait til I get a good deal on a wireless charging case.
Get monetized on Youtube I have a long way to go but I'm working on it, unless Youtube makes policy changes that will make it harder for small youtubers like me to earn money. Lol
Aha! In fairness to my previous wishlist, I already bought most of them lol. To recap:
✔ Tempur sleep mask - reviewed here ✔ Xiaomi Mi Box S - already ordered when I created this list ✔ Sofa repair - finally pulled out three days ago ✔ A comfortable PC setup - all good! Monitor good, keyboard good (reviewed here). Current setup here. ✘ Lots of money - oh you'll be a mainstay ✔ Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 - passed up on this and got airpods instead. Reviewed here ✔ iPad mini and Apple pencil - Finally after a year of contemplating lol. I got a mini and my husband got an ipad and a pencil 1. We're sharing the pencil until I decide to get my own (or not) haha.
✘ Instant Pot - not so hot for this anymore hehe
Now I have a new list! What the heck, they're mostly kitchen things, effect of quarantine. Hope I'd get my husband to chip in these ~upgrades~ 'cos after all... yes I do the cooking, yes I do the cleaning. Okay nvm.
Subway sticker tiles
Oh I've been eyeing this subway white sticker tiles from Stiles PH for a while now.
Can you believe those are just stickers on the wall?! Hopefully when they restock, and my allowance permits, I'll be able to finally put a backsplash on our kitchen.
High quality non-stick pans
I've had it with low quality cheap sets from SM Store. Metro and Chef's Classic suck. After a while we switched to stainless steel kahit mas hassle thinking it's healthier cos at least we won't die of teflon poisoning or whatever, but cooking is a nightmare when everything sticks! Argh.
I'm looking at Tefal, Neoflam, Lock & Lock or whatever's good out there. Kahit pa-isa isa!
Corelle dinnerwares
I just want the plain white ones. They're so freaking light, have 3-year warranty, and claims to be break and chip resistant. Urgh, ECQ got me upgrading our kitchen all of a sudden hahaha.
Cute mugs and placemats
I really want to refresh our mugs to something plainer and more elegant. Like black, gray, white, or transparent lang ganon. Hahaha
Humidifier or Young Living Diffuser?
Actually I already ordered a Xiaomi humidifer lol. I already have a small essential oils diffuser but it doesn't really help improve the moisture levels in the room. Ever since the quarantine started we've been using the AC for longer hours and my throat really suffers specially in the morning. It's always sore and dry, and I always get sniffles when I wake up. I thought I just needed a humidifier, so we'll see.
I'm also curious with Young Living oils because I hear they're super effective! Someday, we'll know!
Basil plant
I want to start planting basil. Need to take advantage of our empty sunrise facing balcony, and also try my hand at gardening, baka sakaling I have a green thumb din like my dad lol.
Do you also find yourself spending more with quarantine? I know I do!
As of writing I already got it and now I've been using it for around 2 nights already. It's phenomenal. I mean, it's the best sleep mask I've ever tried. Obviously. It's the only sleep mask I thought twice, thrice, about getting mainly because it's too pricey for a damn sleep mask! It's at ₱1,620.
Will post a separate entry to review this item. But so far, so good!
Xiaomi Mi Box S
If I had known about this technology two years ago we wouldn't have bothered with a smart TV that only has Netflix and Youtube installed. I ordered one for my parents and it arrived yesterday. They set it up quite easily and I'm glad they're enjoying it!
Sofa repair
The broken part of our living room sofa is still being supported by a bunch of books right now. Thankfully, it's not showing any signs of giving up completely so I hope it lasts until we can find someone to fix it. Can't wait to get it repaired and reupholstered.
A comfortable PC setup
I'm just working on the laptop right now but seeing that I'm getting more development work this ECQ, I want to go the office to pick up my monitor and also get my glasses and USB fan from my pedestal.
Lots of money
Don't we all? I wish I had enough savings and more so I can support our parents now that they have zero cash flow, and also reach out to my friends in need.
Mi True Wireless Earphones 2
Because Apple airpods are too expensive and I've been wishing to get wireless earphones because, uhm, wireless.
iPad mini and Apple pencil
Ah! I've been dreaming about these two gadgets but I'm not convinced I truly need it, specially in these times. Of course nobody really needs it but I'm thinking if I can truly utilize it. I stopped using my Samsung Tab w/ SPen after about 2 years of playing with it, then I sold it. And it has the same features I'm looking for with the iPad mini. I'm just really curious about Procreate. Throw in a paperlike screen protector and a folio case with apple pencil slot and I'm ogling over here. Hay.
Instant Pot
What a delight would this be in the kitchen. It's a multicooker that can do a load of dishes. It's a pressure cooker, rice cooker, steamer, blah blah blah. I wanted to get this during ECQ but I thought I'd wait for the air fryer lid to come out so that I'd get more bang for the buck? I've always wanted an air fryer!
All I want for Christmas is an upgraded kitchen: new pots and pans, a working stove, a new refrigerator, a bigger oven, and everything else to make cooking a better experience for the family: specifically for my sister (who loves to cook), my mother (who hates cleaning up after cooking), and me (an overall kitchen disaster).
With the launch of our small business, Pocket Pies PH, the need for a kitchen upgrade has become urgent! Thanks to De'Longhi's catalogue filled with dreamy kitchen and household products, we've capped off our wishlist and noted the top items we'd love to have on our countertops.
The De'Longhi brand dates back to 1902 as a small spares workshop in Treviso, Italy. This family run business is strongly committed to design and innovation that by the 1950's they became an incorporated company. With the introduction of new electric household appliances in the 70s and 80s, De'Longhi saw its fast growth in the international market, further establishing their brand, and expanding their market reach.
Today, they are regarded as a fast-growing, multi-specialist company, with a solid reputation in delivering high quality, innovative, and Italian designed kitchen and household products. Bongga!
Their online catalogue is a delight to look at, and because of their commitment to constantly provide something special to their products and technology, I've instantly become a fan!
Here are my favorite De'Longhi products that's sure to solve our every kitchen woe:
1. For hassle free cooking: Low-oil Fryer & Multicooker
I've previously shared about this small business my sister and I recently opened. It's called Pocket Pies PH and we sell homemade savory pies in Herb Tuna, Chili con Carne, and Chicken ala King.
Uiiii, bibili na yan! Php150 lang for an assorted box!
As much as I wanted to help my sister with baking and cooking and all, I'm simply not wired to be good in the kitchen. Which is why all I can offer her is what little marketing skills I have, a ton of moral support, and a chance at making her life easier by scoring this wonderful De'Longhi kitchen product.
Imagine how quick and easy it would be to cook our pie fillings with this!
The De'Longhi Low-oil Fryer and Multicooker EXTRA FH1363 is a low-oil multicooker equipped with SHS double (Surround Heating System) ensuring excellent cooking performance and perfectly healthful meals.
What I love:
✓ Time-saving - being equipped with SHS means your food will cook quickly and efficiently ✓Auto-mixing - an automatic mixing paddle saves you from the effort of mixing your food! It can also be removed in the case of more delicate dishes. ✓ Non-stick - the inner bowl is treated with non-stick and anti-scratch ceramic coating ✓ Low-oil - because of its non-stick feature, less oil is needed to prepare your foods. ✓ High capacity - the bowl can carry around 1.5kg to 1.7kg of ingredients. Totally ready for a feast! ✓ Easy to clean - the lid, paddle, and bowl are all removable so it's very easy to clean.
Here's a video to convince you how haveyyy this product is, ANG DAMING PWEDENG LUTUIN MGA BES!
Next up that I'd love to have in our kitchen,
2. The perfect wake up call: Drip Coffee Maker
Our dream mornings would always include the fresh aroma of brewed coffee and toasted buttery bread. While my sister is busy with her multifry, I'd probably be busy making coffee for the family and watching her closely, careful not to mess around!
The De'Longhi Drip Coffee Maker ICM 14011 is just perfect as it's an easy to use coffee maker that guarantees a perfect breakfast for everyone! Amoy pa lang gising na gising ka na!
What I love: ✓ Eco Function - it shuts down automatically 40 minutes after brewing time. Saves energy and prevents your coffee from burning ✓ Easy to use - just like your regular coffee maker: add a filter, pour in your grounds, fill the tank with water, then let it run! ✓ Aroma Button - this feature lets you adjust the brew cycle so you can choose if you want your coffee aroma light, medium or strong.
3. For that ideal breakfast: Contact Grill
Now that coffee's been taken care of, let's move to the next! With the De'Longhi Contact Grill CGH 902C, you can make all sorts of subs and burgers, press your panini, and even grill sausages and patties. Talk about an elevated breakfast experience!
Na-excite ako dito! I knew it would be the perfect addition not just to our kitchen, but also to our food business! When the Holiday season is over, my sister and I plan to market our signature fillings in sandwiches instead. The De'Longhi Multifry and Contact Grill would be the perfect combo in creating delicious gourmet quaility sandwiches everybody's sure to love!
This is probably my favorite De'Longhi product next to the Multifry because of how much it can do!
What else I love:
✓ 5 Cooking Functions - works as a contact grill, panini press, full griddle, half griddle/grill: all to aid in cooking the best paninis, burgers, and grilled meat and vegetables. ✓ Removable Plates - comes in two sets of removable die-cast plates you can use as a grill, a griddle, or a press. ✓ Ceramic Durastone Coating - the plates are made with non-stick and anti-scratch material that have high thermal conductivity; ensuring heat is distributed uniformly throughout the plates, and guaranteeing that your food is cooked evenly. ✓ Accessories - the Contact Grill includes 2 fat collector cups and a spatula for healthier cooking. ✓ Perfect Oil Drain System - the Contact Grill is also designed to efficiently drain fat and oil, ensuring 100% healthy meals without having to add any more oil or butter! ✓ Dishwasher Safe - the easily removable plates are both easy to clean and dishwasher safe.
I could rave on an on about what else I want our kitchen to have from De'Longhi, but I realized their catalogue is filled with other amazing products the rest of our house could benefit from as well. Just take a look at this:
4. Big help for the basement: Dehumidifier
We have a basement where my parents' office is located and I usually can't stand it there because the air tends to get stuffy and I get allergies quickly. I know the De'Longhi Dehumidifier DNC 65 is exactly what we need because it removes the extra moisture in the air and has an antibacterial filter as well. What else I love:
✓ Extra Quiet Operation - run it overnight and you won't be bothered by the sound of it as it hums at a mere 34 dba. Consider that a whisper. ✓ Light and compact - with a weight of 5.5kg and a width of 17cm, it's one of the most compact dehumidifiers in the market. Its pullable handle also makes it easier for you to move it around. ✓ Ionizer and Purifier - with its anti-bacterial filter and built-in ionizer, the air is cleared with dust and bacteria and is made healthier with pumps of negative ions.
5. And for my room: Air Purifier
I've been meaning to get a decent purifier for my room because it's already the cold season and that means I'm more susceptible to allergies. I'm sure it's gonna be a delight to invest in the De'Longhi Air Purifier AC 230, because it's got a lot of different filters that ensures my room is breathable and free from bacteria.
What else to love:
✓ Air Quality System (AQS) - this smart system constantly screens the quality of air around it, and reflects it via the built-in air quality LED indicator that changes color from orange (bad air quality), green (moderate quality), and blue (good air quality). ✓ Air Filtration System - it has 5 different filtering layers ensuring that air you breathe is safe and free from harmful elements:
Anti-dust pre-filter
HEPA filter for small particles
Carbon filter for harmful gases
Nano Silver filter which is 99% effective against bacteria
Photo-catalyst filter with UV light for fighting against all air impurities
Built-in Ionizer that neutralizes dust particles, pollen, car fumes, and smoke contained in the air
✓ Sensor Touch Screen - an elegant and easy to use control panel containing all the buttons you need to operate the machine ✓ Gas and Odour sensor - when the machine captures particles of smoke and dust, it accelerates the fan speed and cleans the air in a faster, more efficient way
---
Clearly, De'Longhi is a must have in every household. It's hard to look for an established brand that produces products with uncompromised style and performance. I'm very happy to have learned about it, and I'm looking forward to my first De'Longhi product! Life will certainly be better everyday.

How about you, what's in your household wishlist? :)
Want something from the US? 9 Reasons to shop with Uskoop
If there's one thing I sorely miss when I came back from the US, that would be the heaven that is Amazon. The level of convenience it offers is freaking over the top. I'm not even exaggerating. Check out how much I rave about it in my tweets. In the 5 months I stayed in Minnesota, I've spent almost $2000 dollars shopping online. No regrets.
If you're an avid online shopper like me, you know that no e-commerce site in the Philippines deserves your full confidence. Countless times you have to double check the merchant you're buying from, even going to lengths such as stalking their Facebook account to confirm if they're legit, and still you get scammed. I never had to do that in my entire US online shopping history (which is really just 5 months lol), and I miss it so bad.
I still have a lot of items in my Amazon wishlist that I want to reach my doorstep and I've found that the easiest way to get them is to go to Uskoop and let them buy things for me!
What?
Uskoop is an online shopping portal that lets you shop from top global merchants like Amazon, Walmart, Macy's, Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, The North Face, Adidas, Nike, etc. You basically tell them what you want to buy and they'll get it straight to your doorstep.
Just take a look at the range of shops you can buy from!
Source: uskoop.com.ph
How does it work?
Source: uskoop.com.ph
3 simple steps:
SEARCH - the products you want to get from top global merchants around the web.
COPY URL- copy and paste the product URL from above step to Uskoop's site. Click on search button and the product's full landed price will be displayed in Php.
CHECKOUT- by clicking the Buy for Me button and have the product delivered to your home at a single fixed price.
The final price indicated already includes the base converted price, plus all other estimated fulfillment fees (ie. insurance, shipping, handling, import, and admin fees).
Here's a video tutorial to help you further:
If you're still undecided, here are 9 reasons that will definitely get you on board
1.One-stop shopping-and-shipping service on one site
No need to pay the merchant and freight forwarder separately.
2. Prices are all-inclusiveand Uskoop PH will take care of shipping, customs & taxes with insurance
Yup! No hidden charges, the final price is all you pay for and nothing more.
3. Delivers to your doorstepanywhere in the PH via air 10-15 business days
That means you are saved from personally picking up your items at the customs office, avoiding getting ripped by the duty collectors in the process! WHAT A RELIEF. Also, that's fast delivery considering your stuff is coming from across the globe. 4.No need to worry about credit card acceptance outside your home country
The final bill is in Philippine peso and not in USD so all the necessary conversions are already taken care of. No more worrying about forex rates and international charges to your credit card.
5.No need to pay US Sales Tax
One less thing to worry about!
6.No need to use a US shipping Address
Uskoop uses their own facility to receive your items. No more virtual US addresses and no more pestering your friends and family from the US to buy something for you.
7.Single checkout from different US online stores
Since Uskoop is the one doing all the buying and shipping, you only have to pay Uskoop and that's it.
8. Multiple Payment Options
Uskoop accepts the following payment options: ✓ Dragonpay ✓ Charge2Phone ✓ Visa/Mastercard (Citibank Card Holders) ✓ Visa/Mastercard (SMART Customers) ✓ All Visa/Mastercard
9. Uskoop PH takes care of everything
You only have to tell what you want to buy and Uskoop PH will take care of everything from buying to shipping to your address to customer service and post-sale support.
BONUS!
10.Buy More Save More
I inquired about whether they combine shipping for multiple items of the same kind, cos I noticed that when I doubled the quantity of one item I was gonna buy, the final price doubled too, including shipping and fulfillment fees. I thought it was ridiculous so I asked.
They told me that they're rolling out a new feature, tentatively this Friday, called Buy More Save More. I have high hopes this would work to minimize fees for multiple items so I'm really excited to know more about it!
What's in my wishlist?
To show you how much the items I want from the US are going to cost if I buy via Uskoop, here's a couple of stuff from my Amazon wishlist. They're either too overpriced here or are simply unavailable. Uskoop solves those problems for me.
1. Pyrex glass food containers
I actually brought a set of these with me when I came back so when I lost it during one of my commutes, I was devastated. I've looked up Pyrex in department stores and they don't seem to carry this particular product. I'm not a fan of clip-on lids like the usual we have here so actually, arte ko lang to. But stiiiill.
2. Wireless, front closure bra
Joke lang yung size ko bes, wag ka na mainggit
Also not available in the Philippines, this bra is super haveyyy. Wire-free, has front closure, and thinly padded, this is the most comfortable bra I've ever worn. I wanted to buy more of these but during the sale where I got it, there's only one stock left in my size. MUST.GET.MORE.
3. Bed Rest
I haven't found this kind of pillow here. It's perfect for reading and I badly want one! For products that are bulky or have indefinite dimensions, the final price isn't indicated yet. You have to click on Get Quote for the Uskoop crew to manually assess the product and compute for shipping costs.
As of now I'm still waiting for my quote. Will update this post as soon as I get word.
Edited to add: Uskoop finally updated the final price of the pillow!
4. Herbalife Total Control
This one I couldn't find here even after inquiring to local Herbalife distributors. It has been very effective in my weight loss agenda, and is one of the few slimming products I didn't suffer any side-effects from. Highly recommended!
5. GoPro Hero 5 Black
Your favorite travel buddy just got an upgrade, if you're itching to get one now, do so with Uskoop. Online stores charge almost the same but you have to pre-order to get one. Physical stores are definitely going to charge higher, maybe ₱25k to ₱28k for this gem, when it comes to shore. And when is that?!
You know the deal, gadgets are much cheaper sourced online and abroad, with shipping being the biggest setback. Thankfully, we've got Uskoop!
Start shopping!
It's almost thanksgiving season and you know what that means, SUPER DUPER MEGA HUGE SALES. And you can expect that to go on until Christmas and New Year season. I'm not kidding, during the holidays I got shirts from Gap and Banana Republic that are only $2 each, and Adidas are Nike shoes are effin cheap, I swear.
Consider this a pre-holiday gift, use promo code USKOOPTEN% to get 10% off shipping and handling :D
Expiring November 7, 2016

*Disclaimer: This post was created for a Nuffnang x Uskoop PH contest. I haven't their service yet.
and if you don't mind taking note that this is not a review entry. i just want to let out my feelings for this piece of gadget that is yet to arrive in Philippines shores.
Sony Xperia Z1 Compact
specs that won me over:
- LTE enabled
even though i'm a sun user, i'm in high hopes that sun cellular will roll out 4G signals eventually. i mean, come on!!! >XD
- 4.3" screen
it's a pity that the market is being saturated with overly large phones, and if ever a small phone did emerge, it's either entry or mid level only. it's frustrating how the size of the phone has to be in proportion with its specs. urgh. but thank you Sony, you're a genius. my small hands will definitely marvel on this masterpiece!
- hardware camera key
isn't it frustrating how you can't get a decent selfie because you have to target that elusive button on your screen?
- 20.7 MP
just imagine the quality of photos you could take with that. Exmor + G Lens, i don't even know how good these specs are, but they sound superb haha
- the color selection!
white is perfect <3
- 2300 mAH battery
my current phone (lenovo p700i) has a big and heavy 2500 mAH battery that lasts me 2 days with regular use. this 2300 mAH may fall short at some point considering the specs specially with that camera and OS, but this is already good! other manufacturers are so stingy with loading their bats with enough power so i appreciate Sony for at least breaking the 2k norm.
- waterproof!
up to 1.5 meters in freshwater for 30mins. and yes! you could take underwater shots with it! >XD just mind the limitations yo.
need i say more? okay fine, maybe octa-core will oust these specs in a few quarters but, for now this is what i consider the best for myself. hihi and hey that's already very very good!
- pin hole for lanyards or charms
something that's been missing in recent phones. a small feature that fits the size of the phone just well :)
specs that made me think
- built-in battery
sorry, you can't remove it. this made me think a bit, cos i'm not used to not being able to pull out the battery when my phone hangs. hmm
- micro-sim
i know the trend is going this way and eventually i'll have to cut my sim. but yeah, reluctant as i am about punching my sim for fear that it may break, i think i'm going for it anyway. given that my phone has to be this! haha i won't cut my sim if it's not the xperia z1 compact! no! haha
hay Lord, it's been a awhile since i lusted over a smartphone like this. i mean, okay Lenovo S820 fine, but i haven't made a feature post right? so i'm not as in love with it as i am with this phone right? haha
price check:
it's already out in other countries, and as per my ebay searches, converted amounts range from a whopping Php 34,000-40,000. so freaking expensive. anyway, we have yet to learn how much it's going to be worth when it lands in the Philippines. and because i'm so interested with this product, i asked Sony Philippines via fb if there's already an SRP for it.
they didn't give a price yet but said it will be available by the end of March. :)
here are a few (?) of my preferred specs (so far!) for a smartphone considering the current technology haha
quad core
gusto ko quad core na. when i bought my Lenovo P700i, i was so proud that it was dual core kahit na kaka-release lang ng quad phones noon. kasi ambilis talaga. pero ngayon, laggy na. huhu
jellybean
because i read somewhere that it's more stable and has less bugs than ice cream sandwich, and consumes less memory? i dunno but my next phone has to be jb at least haha
5-8mp camera w/ LED flash
5mp is okay for casual day shots. w/ flash edi awesome. pero 8mp w/ flash? awesomerrrr!
4.0-4.5" screen
4.0 is optimal for my hands even with casing. 4.5 is the biggest i can handle though pero without casing. smartphones nowadays are nagpapalakihan ng screen size huhu i wish they also thought of those mobile savvy people with small hands. huhu
dual-sim (regular size!)
essential requirement. no to micro, i'm not comfortable with having my simcard cut. hehe
at least 1gig RAM
the higher the better
at least 2000mAH battery
mejo nasanay ako sa lenovo na malaki ang battery so this is the least i can settle with. haha
dedicated camera key
HAHA! i have small hands nga kasi kaya it's hard to shoot a selfie by pressing the screen button. hahaha i'd love it if my future phone would have a camera key, kahit na hindi dedicated like for ex i can shoot by pressing the volume down button instead. pwede rin yun. hehe
hoping na may Lenovo na ganito. haha
nakakainis diba? years ago i would be content with just a basic phone that can play mp3s, but now it has to be this and that and a lot more! talk about how technology is constantly shaping our needs and not the other way around. hay
i could imagine reading this after 5 years, when quad core will be compared to pentium 4 and the world is raving about a deca-core... or something. haha
there's something bothering me about my life right now. yun o. naks. haha. a lot of my time is lost commuting to work and back home! if i were to sum them up, that's approximately 4-5 hours spent collectively outside. mind you, that's a lot of time! i could've used that to exercise or sleep early but obviously that's just an excuse cos even if i worked nearby i'll hardly get myself to do those still. hahaha
anyway, my sister told me that it usually takes 2-3 years for someone to master a certain skill. applying that to the work place, that means i still have hope. yehey! that's a really really big breather for me. remember how i was always complaining about feeling useless and dumb most of the time at work? LOL. maybe i just need time! yes! hay buhay. ang tagal ng 2 years! 9 months to go before i ask myself (again!) if still want to stay. ang laking factor talaga nung malapit ka lang sa bahay. huhu all this pollution is killing me. lol
anyway, since malapit na ang sweldo (containing part 2 of our 13th month pay + some OT pay hihi), it's high time for another wishlist! di ko naman bibilhin lahat to on swelday but hmmm we'll get to that someday!
1. Lenovo S720 (~Php 10000)
lol what i liked about this phone upon first glance is the presence of MOST of the physical features i needed in a phone, mainly: LED flash and dedicated camera key. talo nga lang ako sa size cos it's too big for my hands haha pero keri lang. i do hope it gets a jellybean update though! >XD i also love how it looks almost like the the HTC One haha.
as you can see, i want a new office system in my room. hahaha i badly want to clean up na rin cos i have lot of stuff that's only accumulating dust, and you know i'm allergic to dust. hayy thinking of selling most of my books na rin, they're not a lot, but they're really good titles. HAHA i was thinking of moving entirely to the digital format, as in pdf na lang lahat para handy! when i get that 4.5 inch phone naman i think i can bear with the size. LOOOOOL RepliGo PDF Reader is the way to go.
5. new NIV Bible (~Php 1000)
yung expensive at red leather/leatherette yung cover. ANG ARTE! pero seryoso, kelangan raw mahal para basahin mo talaga araw araw eh. sabi nga ng isang post, "the bible is bread, to be taken daily. not cake, to be taken occasionally." word.
It's gonna be a good year ahead of us if we have the right items to prep us for the coming months! Here i'm gonna list ten items i want to get my hands on but can't yet due to financial constraints hahaha so let this be a pending to-buy list and also a wishlist for those generous-hearted people out there haha >XD
And of course, what's a better place to lurk around for value items while sitting down at the comfort of your homes? You bet, let's head over to Sulit then and start this online window shopping bonanza! >XD You may also want to follow Sulit on the following abodes: facebook and twitter! Happy shopping!
and thaaat of course is for my new laptop to-be hehe
How about you? What are your 10 new year's must haves? Wander around Sulit and share them here by commenting with your Full name, fb profile or twitter ID, followed by the 10 items you'd love to have and their links... just like the example below:
my dear friends and readers, allow me to savor this moment where i momentarily feel like a real multimedia artist. Lord, thank you for giving me the means to purchase that which i've long dreamed of owning.
now for my next request, please give me the power to get used to this piece of technology. as of now, it's eating every precious strand of my patience HAHA. i've always had this assumption that using a tablet would create better looking art. LOL i just hope so! >XD we'll see... for now... tutorials pleeeeaase >:'(
meet Lenovo S880, with specs similar to their flagship P700 only bigger (5 inches) and with smaller battery capacity (2250 mAH). For 14,999 will this be worth the wait? i'm saving for the the P700 then i saw this and idunno what to do!!! it's white! it's bigger! almost like my dream Samsung Galaxy S2 (but with dual sim features!) and well, i could pass with the 250 mAH difference... i want this phone... but it's almost at pricey as the HTC Desire V. haha
lol idk. anyway, expected time of arrival in the Phils is around September so yeah, let's wait and see! >:D
this day i lost 400+ worth of money. for the nth time grabe. i dunno what's up with me, why do i always lose cash? >XO i was a tad too depressed about it cos i couldn't imagine how much money i've lost this year because of carelessness! or maybe the world has just gotten eviler. >:| more to depression is pain, cos early this morning, i realized i'm in yet another of my monthly bloody craps. >XO haha moody mode hitting soon. i guess. >:) i've warned my boyfriend already hahaha >:D
i wonder what good is in store for me from this loss. not that i'm expecting but the thought of a just payback is pretty encouraging. 400 is a lot of money for me. it's what's left of my allowance and now i'm broke for the entire week! sucks to be jobless! >XO
