2010 Xmas Shopping

Every year, I try to beat my previous year's gifts in terms of value and cost. I think for this year I overspent bwahaha

I am always on the lookout for good quality items at low cost. Since I was busy with work, I didn't have the time to xmas shop. I decided to order online. I got Victoria Secret body spray from an online seller who sold it the cheapest. Later, I learned that 168 sells the same for less than P10/bottle.

I got a chance to go to Divi- only one time this year. I went to
Anding's to get the inaanak toys (around P100 each), and 168 for over 80pcs of trinkets as little gifts (around P7 each).

For the family members, I got them shirts from Folded and Hung warehouse store in Riverbanks (around P350 each). I also got RL polo shirts from Greenhills tiangge at P350 each.

For the twins, I got them a pair of Chuck Taylors during the Converse warehouse sale (P1,400 each). We also got them Lego (regular and Duplo) at 50% off from the Megamall sale (around P900 each).

I got two pairs of shoes from Greenhills tiangge at P290 each. To which I was told by a reliable source that it was also being sold at Pasig Palengke 3rd flr at P250 each. har har har.

I got corningware microwable ceramic dishes at less than P100 each in Makro. I have confirmed with my own eyes and wallet that Puregold sells milk the cheapest. We also got the wines from Puregold.

So that's xmas shopping for 2010. Hopefully, I will have more great finds next year :)

Happy Holidays everyone! :)

Down with English Measles

It all started on Sunday- after Trick or Treat at Mega and Miguel's 1st birthday party at Valle Verde. We got home at around 8pm. I felt tired and I had chills. I checked my temp and was surprised to see 38.3 in the thermometer. I never ever get sick, you know. I took paracetamol and called it a night. Monday was Nov 1 so we went to the cemetery. I had on-and-off fever. Tuesday, I went to work and my officemates started to notice rashes on my face. I went to the clinic and the nurse said my temp was normal and that she couldn't see any rash (roll eyes). I went to see a doctor, and she said the same thing as the nurse- I was okay,no fever, no rash. Wednesday, I went to the ER of Medical City. I was getting worried because my fever was not going away. I also noticed many little sores inside my mouth, and suddenly I was sensitive to light, as in nasisilaw akech. My CBC came back as normal, so the doctors sent me home with paracetamol as medicine. As for the rash, they said it could just be bungang araw, okay fine. Thursday, I developed cough and colds. My throat was so painful. I felt I had sores all the way down to my throat. I had no appetite, and I really felt sick. I went to see a different doctor and had another CBC. My platelet count was okay so it was not dengue. After work, I went straight home, I thought I was going to collapse. I asked Keith to take me to the hospital. We went back to Medical City, and the doctors diagnosed me with measles. I had bloodshot eyes, vomiting episodes and LBM. I was confined in one of their isolation rooms and was discharged on Sunday. I was advised not to report to work for a week, and to continue my bedrest at home. We sent the twins and the yayas to my in-laws because measles is contagious. You'd think I was ecstatic to be home alone for a week? Naku, hindi noh! I felt so weak that I was just really in bed 24/7. It was pathetic. It has been a week now, and I am slowly getting my strength back. Yesterday, Keith took me out and brought me my birthday gift (ahihi!), then we watched Unstoppable at Promenade, had dinner at Tender Bob's, then met some friends at Jalapeno in Home Depot. It was so nice to be out of the house again! But I miss the twins terribly. We're picking them up after this Pacquiao-Margarito fight...

Cats, Now and Forever - Live in Manila

It was girls night out when my mom treated me and SIL Mau to watch CATS at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo (CCP). OMG, I think the tickets were ridiculously expensive. Then my mom told me some of her amigas go abroad just to see the play. Ok, fine. Lea Salonga stars as Grizabella, leading an international cast.

I didn't know what to expect from this play. There were many surprises for me. The costumes were impressive, from wig to shoes. High-tech the stage props. They had magic tricks and acrobatics, which was very entertaining. The cast mingled with the audience during the play and intermission. One verse was sang in Filipino, which was quite funny because of the accent. Also because of the accent it was difficult for me to follow the story because I couldn't understand the words. Thank God Lea sang so clearly and it helped that her song was a familiar song. Overall, I would say the play was okay. I was surprised to see many kids watching, then a friend told me CATS is pambata. I also saw many dads sleeping, bwahaha.
