Fridge Txt Msg Poetry



Today Pao and I went to the mall. I passed by National Bookstore to check if there were any new books on the sale section. And behold, Fridge Poetry Txt Msg version for only P100. It's very interesting since its an american published product. The short text messages are very different.
For example: BRAK = BREAK, AFAIK = As Far As I Know.

Below is a short poetry which is just composed of words that I randomly selected.
It may sound good or bad.
Either way you have to guess what the words mean to complete the poetry.
You already have an example above use it well. =9
Have Fun!

Updates on Sales

Ok it has been almost a week of just sales.
The weekend sale bash was great but the weekday is something else.
If you've read my previous posts.
This week the week of the 17th of October to date has also been a sale week.
So this is an update on the Recent two sales that I've been to.

The Rustan's Essences Three Day Sale.

Today was the start of the rustans three day sale. By the time I arrived at the sale (around 3pm) The place was already full packed with eager shoppers trying to get there hands on the cheapest and best stuff that was on sale.

What products are on sale? Well, we have Laura Mercier ( a personal favorite of mine ), Estee Lauder, Clarins, Dior, Channel, Awake, Phyto, Lee Stafford, Fasio, Michael Kors, Orly, Essee and so much more that I can't remember them anymore. But you get my point. These are on 30 percent off. From perfumes to make-up, lotions to hair products. They are all on 30 percent off.
I forgot, for those who are fans of movie the make-up brand and alchemy. Bought products are on 50 percent off. I tried looking through the movie and alchemy section, but there were to many people to cut through.

Main point, those who have some extra money. Come to this sale if your into any of the products. It won't get better than this. ( I pray that it would =p ) But so far, it won't.
So, drop by the sale is up to Friday the 21st.

*Be careful with the craze, you might get carried away on pulling stuff of the shelves.
*Shop moderately ( huh! wish I could follow my own advice )

Laura Mercier Travel Brush Set with 7 brushes. From left to right (cheek colour brush, eye crease brush, double ended brow brush, lip colour brush,secret camouflage brush, flat eye liner brush and eye colour brush). Next to it is the Michael Kors Leg Shine. http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P20355
Please check out the link for more information on Michael Kors Leg Shine.
* Laura Mercier Travel Brush Set ( before 30% discount ) at P5750 and Michael Kors Leg Shine at P1,700






Bargain find for the day.
From left to right. Lee Stafford Poker Straight "Glistening Straightening Balm" P395, Andrea mod lash starter kit P145, Cliven Baby Shampoo and Protective Cream P245 and Lee Stafford Poker Straight " Dehumidifier" P395. All before the 3o percent off discount.

I personally have used Lee Stafford Powder Wax hair product and love it. It's not sticky and it doesn't look to heavy on your hair unlike other products and its cheaper too. I just tried out the dehumidifier and it works pretty well with your hair it basically does what it says to "help your beautiful hair poker straight, when the humid air wants it to frizz".

The Cliven Baby Shampoo and Protective Cream at P245 without the discount is already cheap. Mother's need I say more.





The Y3/ Paul Smith Sale
As you can see on the picture above. A pair of shoes at Paul Smith's would set you back P3,700.
Which is okay. If you are into shoes or Paul Smith, this is a steal. A pair of shoes like these would cost around P13,000. The sale had a few racks of clothes to sections for men and women and some of the shoes are to die for. If I only had the extra cash. The bag! I want the bag. But at P12,000 on sale already. I'll just hang around the person who buys it. hehehehe.

Essences FSP Holiday Sale

Essences in Glorietta 4 will be having a Holiday Sale Today the 15th of October.
Open to all FSP ( Frequent Shoppers Plus ) Rustans card holders.
20 percent off on selected cosmetics brand like Nars.
This is going to be a one day sale only.

Friday, Start of The Weekend Sale.

It's Friday, start of the weekend sale. Robinsons malls, SM malls and Glorietta are all having a weekend sale. And today Friday is mega madness day. Where all the malls are open 'till midnight and everyone is looking for something to spend there hard earned cash on.

Besides the mall wide sales, there's the powerbooks warehouse sale, chocolate clothing store sale, and the best for the day is the Different Bookstore Super Sale ( That's what I call it ).

I started out my day by skipping school. (Sorry, Sir! hehe =) )


Powerbooks "Warehouse Sale"

I went straight to the Powerbooks "Warehouse Sale" in pioneer which was terrible. You're better off going to a National Bookstore Bargain Books section than going to the "warehouse sale". It was typical of powerbooks mall sales with a surprisingly small selection, which wasn't even enticing to browse through.





Next, we went to the Chocolate Clothing Store Delicious Sale. The clothes aren't that bad. Fell in love with a Summer Tube Dress and the Nuxe Line ( a french made cosmetics brand for the face and body ) is at 49 percent off plus 10 percent off when you charge it to your BDO credit cards. Dang.



Chocolate Clothing Store Most Delicious Sale

SM Mega Mall "Mega Sale"


Then, we went to Mega Madness at SM Megamall where they were holding the San Mig Octoberfest.

For those who are looking for linens and comforters there at 50 percent off at the SM Department Store ( Selected Items Only of course ). The PC section on building B is also on sale on some products. Nine West is up to 65 percent off on shoes plus 5 percent off if paid in cash.


The Different Bookstore "Super Sale"


Then, we went to Eastwood City where they had the Different Bookstore "Super Sale" 50-70 percent off from fiction to philosophy titles. Thank you so much. finally, a decent book sale.
