Household Items and Our New Bidet

We went to Landmark and was delighted to find that there was an ongoing sale. Household items such as curtains, pots and pans, bed sheets, and comforters were on sale for as low as 50% off the original price. I promptly bought a items like a shower curtain, a set of placemats, and bed sheets for our bed. I was trying to find bed sheets for kids so Z can finally move out to his own bed but I couldn’t find any.

So far my favorite buy are the placemats. I got a very stylish design and it goes well with our dining set. My least favorite was the bed sheets because at P350 for one set (queen size, fitted, two pillow covers) it looked like it was washed with bleach. It was fading pretty bad and although the design is supposed to be pretty it looked like an old, old bed cover. So note to self, no more buying bed covers at that price. :(

I also bought something that I love. It was not on sale though. I bought a bidet set for our toilet. It’s like a small shower with high pressurized water coming out of it to clean your – you know what – after doing number two. I love that I don’t have to use any tabo – I forgot the English of that word – oh, it’s dipper am i right?! LOL! Anyway, I highly recommend it. It simplifies things and add convenience in the toilet. *wink. I bought the bidet for P600+ plus I needed to buy something (this time I really don’t know what it’s called) so that the water will flow two-way – one to the toilet tank and one to the bidet. That’s worth P209 but I think you can buy it cheaper at local hardware stores.


Reward Cards Explained

As the competition between credit card companies becomes stiffer they found more ways to get the consumer’s business.  One of the most successful strategy is launching reward cards.  A reward card will let you earn incentives the more you use it. The incentives can be in the form of free air travel, rebates, gasoline, or a free merchandise.  Reward cards are for heavy card users because most often than not you will have to make a considerable amount of purchase before you can get a reward.

A word of caution though.  Reward cards are not for everyone.  If you maintain a minimum balance and not pay your bill in full then these cards are not for you.  You’re better off finding a card that will give you the lowest interest than offer the best rewards.


Wedding Ring

I think it’s almost a year since I have lost my wedding ring.  I remember the precise moment I realized it was gone.  We just came home from the wedding of my college friend, Nixie.  Just before we reached home I suddenly remembered to check the ring on my finger.  The sinking feeling that I felt once I realized it was missing from my ring finger.  It was not the first time we lost a ring.  My husband lost his two years before I lost mine.  We went back to Binondo where we bought the ring to replace his but now a year has passed and still we haven’t replaced mine.

I hope we can go back to the store again so I can replace my lost ring.  I wish hubby can give me a Cushion cut engagement ring too.  Paging my hubby, if you happen to read my blog now you know what to give me.    If you can add some Citrine Rings too then the better.  *wink

I love diamonds but sometimes a flash of color on the finger can really make a difference.  Plus they’re way cheaper than diamonds.  So if you’re on a budget then buy Citrine Rings instead of that expensive diamond.


Digital Camera Reviews Helped Me Choose My Camera

When I was still looking for a camera to buy online I must have looked at a ton of digital camera reviews. It was my first time to buy a digital camera so I had to rely solely on those camera reviews. It took me days and days of research before I was able to find the perfect model for my budget and it took me a few more days before I found the cheapest but most reliable seller.

I believe I got a good deal on my Canon Powershot camera. It has personally delivered at my doorstep and I paid cash-on-delivery. In just a few minutes, the transaction was over and a year later I’m still happy with my camera.  It takes great pictures and it has helped us a lot preserve a lot of our family memories.

If you’re looking for a good online deal there are lots out there.  Just take time and effort to research so you’ll find the thing that you’re looking for.


Online Shopping is a Breeze

If you’re into online shopping then I know the hardest part is doing your research online.  I bought my digital camera online and I literally spent days researching what the best camera I could afford with my money was.  I wanted one that took the best quality picture and at the same time affordable.  Doing research, as I said, was tedious.  I had to hop from one website to the other so that I can read reviews and compare the different digital cameras.  Then my job is not finished.  After finding one I like I have to look for an online seller that gives the best price on the product.

Fortunately, I have found Items where you can compare, shop, and save.  At Items online shopping becomes a breeze.  I don’t have to hop from one site to another and I get to see review of people who have actually bought the product.  Once you set your eye on something then it’s time to compare prices.  You just click on the item and you would be brought to another page where you’ll see how much it costs in different stores.  Isn’t that so convenient?  Next time I need something I know where I would shop.  Where else but the one that would give me all the information I need?  What about you?
