Where to Shop for Clothes if You're from Calbayog City and Other Store Recommendations (offline and online)

By the end of this year, my son is going to be five years old. Oh, how time flies! I can still remember the first time I held him. I fell in love with him in an instant. Now, he's grown so much. Of course, the same thing happened to me when I had my baby girl. 

My boy's going to start schooling this June, so I'm going to be busier too... I'm thinking of shopping for new things like clothes and school supplies. I initially thought that he's not going to be using/needing much, but when I examined his things I realized he already outgrew many of his clothes. Same thing with my baby girl of course. T.T They're growing up fast!

 

Since I am in the process of updating their wardrobe, I'll be sharing to you some of the shops that I've tried, and also some that I've recently been interested with.

As a fan of online shopping (and of course window shopping), I did a couple clicks on the web to look for affordable items for my kids, too.

Mixed Post in Pictures: Nails, Mini Shopping, our Last Family Bonding for 2012 (unplanned), and a Gift from Ate Ruby Mae..

Hi! I know it's already 2013 in a few minutes but hey, I wanted to post this before New Year!

:-)

After we went to Gaisano Central to meet up with bf's workmate (for her laptop's charger). We went straight ahead to Robinson's Place Tacloban. I didn't know he's going to ask to hang out at Robi, but anyway, it was fun. Kian and I enjoyed the ride (we rarely go out, that is why).

So, here are some pictures!

Apparently I broke my promise not to do my nails until I gave birth this March/April...but please???

Here's our cute toddler enjoying his ride on a toy car and on a merry-go-round at Tom's World, Gaisano Central Tacloban :-)

Greenwich's Barkada Pizza, Zagu's Black Forrest & Halo-Halo. Trinkets & Treasures carry papemelroti products!

A glassware gift from ate Ruby Mae :-)

Happy New Year Everyone :-))

Collective Haul | Pre-Christmas 2012 & Pre-New Year 2013 Haul

Hi there! 

Today I'm gonna share some of what Eric bought for Christmas (mostly food items) but here I will only share toiletry items. As well as the things I bought yesterday (December 27, 2012).

...

1. Ivory Bath Aloe Scent Bath Soap
2. Palmolive Naturals Smooth & Moisture Bath Soap
3. Myra Hand & Body Lotion
4. Johnson & Johnson's Baby Bath Milk Refills
5. Johnson & Johnson's Baby Powder Complete Care
6. Colgate Toothpaste
7. Dove Straight & Silky Shampoo 

The receipt is missing, so I wasn't able to put each product's price.

Leyte Paperworld

1. Columnar/Record Book (500 pages) - Php80.00
2. Wrapping/Crafting paper - Php10.00
3. Small Flat Brush - Php5.00

Novo Fashion House - NVJS

2. Garter - Php10.00
3. Ballpen - Php10.00
4. Granny Undies (Hahaha xD) - Php20.00
5. A pair of scissors - Php40.00
6. Eyebrow razors - Php10.00

Yeah, I wear cheap granny undies. xD

UNITOP Merchandise, Inc.

1. Lm Two-Way Nail Art Striper Pen (Black and Gold), 17 x 2 = Php34.00
2. Nail Polish Remover - Php4.00
3. Trumpet toy - Php8.00
4. Super Glue (actually it says on the bottle that it's a "Shoe Glue") - Php12.00

I bough the trumpet toy for Kian just in time for the coming New Year. We will be making lots of noise..bwahaha.

I bought two Lm nail polishes (stripers) before, but these two are both a nail art striper and nail art pen in one! I'm excited to use these two...too bad that the white and silver ones ran out already! They sell like pancakes here. It seems like everybody is into nail art-thingy these days >.< Makes me miss painting on my nails...

Rose Pharmacy

1. Anmum Materna Choco Powdered Milk, 375g - Php344.15 

Of course, mama bear needs this. Wala na yung plain so ito na lang..masarap naman siya eh, di gaanong matamis.

Sidewalk vendor near corner Dunkin' Donuts-Jollibee

1. Fruits (an apple, and two oranges) - Php20.00
2. Cheap, trusty umbrella (maroon) - Php50.00

The story behind the umbrella is that...everybody here hates the rain/downpour but no one seems to like buying an umbrella for themselves, so I made up my mind to really buy another umbrella for those days that somebody needs one. My trusty old foldable umbrella (mid quality) is going to be one year old this January (yeah it's kind of special to me...) is still intact and useable, but now looks like eeeek.. so I figured why not buy a new one to abuse >.< Whatever, meh.

 ...

Ok, that's all. Thank you for reading/looking at my post. :)
