MMT #10 – Mom-ME Time, 24 July 2011

Tweet

Happy Sunday everyone!

My official ME time, from the previous week, was mall time. I went to the mall last Friday while my son RJ was still in school. I reluctantly went to the mall, I was supposed to sleep so yes I was reluctant to go, but I badly need a new camera. I was planning to buy a red Canon DSLR camera but ended up buying a pink Canon IXUS 1000 HS.

I decided to buy it instead of the planned DSLR because it was on sale. Instead of paying the regular price of Php 24,000, I was able to buy it for only Php 14,000! This cheapskate mom had a wonderful ME time because of that.

Did you also have a wonderful Me time? I hope you also did. Share it here, just click the linky below.

something old, something almost-new

I don't like the feel of crisp, newly-washed jeans. It feels so tight on my waist and moving around is very uncomfortable. That's the reason why I only wash my jeans after a week or two of wearing it. Jeans worn for a few days is so comfortable to wear. Same sentiment with old jeans.

i want this Victoria Beckham South Beach Cropped Jean

Last week, I found this store that sell second hand clothes. It has racks and racks of clothes, even bridesmaid dresses, that are so cheap. Some are even brand new, complete with price tags, I can't help but check if I can buy something for me.

I ended up buying cropped jeans that has swarovski crystals on the front and back pockets. How much did I pay? 130 pesos! Roughly $2.70 (as of this writing). Cheap and comfortable to wear! I'm going back for more good finds.

travel & tour expo

I was inquiring for a Disneyland tour package a few months ago. Everything -from airfare to city tours- we're very expensive because November is a peak season for travel sales. The agent informed me that I can postpone our trip for a few months and buy our tour package in an upcoming travel expo.

Last saturday, before watching the Pyromusical competition, we stopped by SMX Convention Center at Mall of Asia for the Travel and Tours Fair. There was a big crowd of people lining up to purchase airline tickets, tour packages and celebrity cruises.

One thing I noticed though, most travel operators were selling off-peak season packages only. Off peak rates are of course cheaper. They should lower down the prices of peak season packages during a travel expo. Imagine falling in line for hours just to buy something that you can buy, without waiting in line for hours, outside of the travel expo.

i heart books!

...especially if it's on sale!

A visit to the mall or the supermarket will never be complete without purchasing books. I am currently reading The Devil Wears Prada and yes I did purchase it from a second-hand bookstore. I noticed though that the movie is quite different from the paperback. Do they always do that? Change the storyline of the book when they make it into a movie?

Although, I have to admit, I like the movie better than the paperback. I do like the storyline of the book but some chapters have irrelevant paragraphs.

I highly recommend this book if you don't have anything better to read or do.
