Adhesive Tapes

2010-04-14T23:57:00.005+08:00

Adhesive tapes are always used whether we are at school, office or at home. They are very useful in a wide variety of applications like wrapping, fixing, bonding and etc. The most common type of adhesive tapes that I usually use is the clear tape or also known as Scotch tape. At school I also use masking tape especially when I show pictures to my students.

While browsing online, I found a buying guide on Adhesive Tapes. The buying guide gave me idea on the different types of adhesive tapes and I have learned that each tape was designed for a specific use. I thought masking tapes are only used in school but now I know that it is primarily used for painting. Cool isn't it? You too can learn of information of different products.

Tempted with Samsung LCD TV?

2010-01-14T14:27:00.004+08:00

LCD TV has been the trend of all Filipino households today. A lot of people are now taking the shift from the typical TV screens to an LCD TV screen. It's not only about the TV's features but as well as it is energy saving. We have 4 TV's at home but we still don't have an LCD TV yet. Hubby and I have been talking about it but it is not yet our priority as of this moment.

Last Friday, hubby and I went to an appliance shop because he was checking for an acoustic guitar. While entering the shop, we saw different series of Samsung LCD TV. I was glued to it because I find it very attractive to watch. Nice resolution, nice color... and there I am standing in front of the TV. Hubby went on his way to the shop while I stayed there near the entrance door still watching the TV. After a few minutes, I noticed there were plenty of people at my who were also watching TV so I decided to enter the shop and go where hubby was. While inside the shop, I saw my husband also glued to the LCD TV displayed inside. LOL! I was checking on the TV price and some of it is quiet affordable. The store made some payment terms that is affordable to the customers. That is why, a lot of people nowadays own one.

One of the LCD TV that caught our attention was the Samsung 650 series. It really has enhanced picture quality that even an old movie can caught your attention. Hubby was whispering to me...we'll buy something like that! LOL! I told him... only if we will have lots and lots of money.

We went home still talking about the TV... it was really very nice but again we can't afford yet and is still not our priority.

Shopping for our House Maid

2010-01-11T13:40:00.005+08:00

Last week, our house maid asked me to accompany her on Sunday (January 3, 2010) because it's her Pay day and she wanted to shop something for herself. She's just new in the city and she is not so familiar with the place yet, so we went together to one of the shopping malls her in our city. Even though it was a tiring afternoon, I was happy to accompany her because she was so excited to spend all her hard earnings. She told me that she'd like to buy some pair of jeans and some blouses too. So, we went to the ladies section and asked her to choose the clothes she like.

Here are the things she bought:

Hot Pink Jeans - She was smiling when she saw this. Which means she really liked it. LOL! Added to that, it was very affordable: for only Php 149.00 (more less $3 USD).
Girl's Tees - (Not the actual photo of the Tees, but looks similar to it.) She bought 4 girl's tees at Php 79.00 ($1. 7 USD each. ) Very affordable isn't it? She was smiling while paying at the cashier because she can't imagine she bought many clothes for an affordable price.

After we buy clothes, she also bought cologne and other toiletries. She was so excited to go home and fit all the clothes she bought. On her next pay day, I guess she won't be needing me anymore because she already knew where to buy affordable stuff.

BOSS Turbo Over-Drive (OD-2)

2010-01-04T11:39:00.005+08:00

My hubby has owned a lot of guitar effects but among other distortion/overdrive effects this one is his favorite. BOSS made this pedal between mid 80's to the mid 90"s. He bought this pedal from his brother in-law which is quite a good buy for him because it was affordable. This guitar pedal is not anymore sold in the market as BOSS has stopped manufacturing pedals of this kind. Hubby loves this pedal so much because it provides warm tone from classic overdrive to a searing distortion effect for his guitar.

You can still find used guitar pedal like this one at eBay with price bids that range from $30-$90 depending on the pedal's condition.

Buying Gifts

2009-12-19T15:12:00.003+08:00

I'll be going out this afternoon to buy gifts for my relatives and church friends. I still haven't finished wrapping gifts for them. Hopefully today I will finish everything. I'm still having difficulty thinking on what gifts I will buy for them. I am considering of something they like and something that is affordable. So today, I'll be checking on different shops to find some great deals. Hope I can find a lot.

Got to go...

Beefly

2009-11-20T21:36:00.001+08:00

"Beefly" is one of the clothing shops I often visit. It is located here in Cagayan de Oro (near Kevin Enterprises). This shop is not so popular in the city as the store is not so attractive. It looks so small outside where you can only find limited shirts on sale, but there is actually a big warehouse at the back of it. This shop is intended mainly to those people who shops wholesale. Their main costumers are small time boutique owners in the provinces like Camiguin and Bukidnon.
What I like about this shop is that they sell clothes at a very affordable price. The blouses which are often sold in boutiques costs around Php 300, but you can only purchase them in this shop for only Php 150 (wholesale prize). Jeans at malls that costs Php 1,000 is only sold here at around Php 450. Great discount isn't it? But since this is a wholesale store, you need to buy at least 3pcs to 6pcs clothing items in order to avail of the great discount.

The parents of my student works in this shop. They gave me a special privilege whenever I shop here. I can buy one item at a time and still enjoy the great discount. This is the reason why I enjoy shopping here.

Mini-Guitar Tuner for Hubby

2009-11-17T19:33:00.001+08:00

Last month, I purchased a mini-guitar tuner for my hubby as my birthday present for him. I bought it at eBay at around $13USD (inclusive of shipping cost). I thought it would arrive the day before hubby's birthday. But sad to say, it came more or less 3 weeks after hubby's birthday. I contacted the seller and he said that he sent it on time. He was also worried because it might be that the item is lost. After many emails, my birthday gift for hubby came. He was so happy for his gift.

Checking out if the guitar tuner is working. Thank God it's functioning.

Romantic Wish by Victoria's Secret

2009-11-05T21:33:00.000+08:00

I am not so fond of buying perfumes because I have lots of it given by my friends who works abroad. Until now, I still have plenty which I only used it very often. A few months ago, a relative of mine asked me to purchase her Victoria's Secret products which is payable in one month. I was hesitant at first. She told me that her earnings from all of those scents will be used as her school allowance, so I immediately get one. I got the "Romantic Wish" body mist for Php 700 ($16 USD). I like the scent because it's very sweet. I never had any idea how much that perfume would cost in the market and I find it very expensive. At the back of my mind I just thought of it as a way of helping her in her studies.

Later this afternoon, me and my friend happened to pass by the cosmetics department of one of the malls here in our city. My friend checked on Victoria's Secret and I also checked the price of the one I got from my relative. I found out that the price was only Php 425 ($9 USD). Wow! I think my relative really did earned a lot from selling that product.

Hello Kitty Vacuum Cleaner

2009-11-03T22:01:00.000+08:00

I have had asthma attacks lately and I'm planning to buy a vacuum cleaner. I think it's good to have one because dusts keeps on accumulating in my room. I also have to avoid dusts because it's the main cause of my allergies which can lead to irritation on my nose and then asthma.I wanted to buy a mini vacuum cleaner because I only use it on my room. While looking for a picture to place on this post, I was fascinated with this cute hello kitty vacuum cleaner. It looks cute and I find it nice to have one of this. It comes with a 5 meter cord and it costs around $123 USD or around Php 6,000 in the Philippines. I hope I can find something like this in our place. If none, then I will have to settle with the best yet affordable vacuum cleaner I can find in the market.

Looking for UN Cultural Costumes

2009-10-23T23:29:00.000+08:00

In the school I'm working with, we had this annual activity called United Nations Day which is held every October. I already have my "Vietnam" costume which I often use every year, but my co-teachers suggested that I should wear something different this year. So, my cousin and I hurried to a shop to find a UN cultural costume that would fit me. Sad to say, there wasn't any costumes available for adults, only for kids. My cousin suggested to go to "Ukay-Ukay" shops but still there's we didn't find any. Anyway, I guess I will just have to wear my old costume. In short my shopping day isn't that good as I am a bit short of time.

I just wish I will have a lot time searching for costumes so that I will appear super gorgeous like these women below. LOL!

How to Sell Your Clothes Online

2009-10-04T12:28:00.000+08:00

Selling online is one of my hubby's sidelines, but not so these days as he is busy with his work. But his experience made me believe that we can truly gain cash online. Anyway, I just found these tips from Reader's Digest and thought of sharing this especially to all the women out there who have plenty of clothes in their closet. Here are the steps:

1. Wade through the pile.

Assess your unwanted clothes, then assign them to categories: Is the garment designer or vintage?

2. Understand the basics.

For the amateur seller, eBay makes the process simple, with tutorials on how its auction system works. This is where my hubby learned his online selling stuff. Other established vendors are thepaperbagprincess.com and decadesvintage.com.

3. Tell the whole truth.

Is it new, with tags still attached? Note any pulls, stains or repairs. Full disclosure now prevents disgruntled buyer later. If a stain is persistent, consider donation instead. In other words, be honest. If you don't want to get a negative feedback, you have to tell the whole truth.

4. Size up garments.

Sizing varies wildly, so list the garment's country of origin and provide its measurements, along with the size and name on the label.

5.Dress outfits to sell.

Clothers sell better when shown in 3-D. Have a friend play model and take photos from several angles, against an uncluttered backdrop. Crop the head, for privacy concerns.

6. Collect your cash.

According to a study done in 2008, most Web buyers prefer to use Paypal. Once you sign up for a free account, the service acts as an intermediary and keeps credit cards and banking infos private.
