Seems like I need to be a extra careful with what I post on this site. Doing a simple google search of my full name led me here. I think it's because my gmail account is linked to blogger. Hay buhay. Kahit anong iwas ko, sayang. Buti nalang yung private tumblr ko eh safe!

Kaylangan bawal mag post ng anything pangit na pwede maka turn-off ng current and future employer. That's if I keep this blog online long enough. So far, so good. Walang incidents.

Kainis, I was really hoping that this site wouldn't be linked to my name at all. I wanted to have a detached online identity specially with all the unfortunate stories I read... not that I need to hide things. It's like keeping work and home life separate. You don't normally share intimate and mostly-corny stories about your life to your co-workers, right? Ganon lang.

I just need to try harder. Mistake one: using my real first name. Got to fix that as soon as my domain expires. =P

I did a little online shopping last weekend because I needed to get a fresh batch of camis and tanks. And like always, I did not just get camis and tanks. I tried a couple of online shops and Aeropostale is one. I know they are tailored more to middle and high schoolers but, according to size charts, I have the body of a 15 year old so I get a pass.

One thing I notice about this shop is that everything is marked down - even their new items. My theory is it's a way to trick people into thinking they're getting a deal, because if you see the quality of their clothes you will know that the original tag prices are over their marks. Example, if you are going to pay for a $40 pair of shorts, you at least expect the stitching to be clean. NO no no for Aero. Items clearly lack a good run on quality check. So you think you are getting a $40 shorts, you paid $20 and you received a pair deserving of that price... so no actual savings on your part, right?

You just have to be smart. As long as you know what you're getting and knowing what to expect, you can play along in this old marketing game.

What I like about this shop is when they have final sales, they REALLY go on sale. Items out of season are the best. Like this puffy jacket I found that they priced for $120 (oh really now?) marked down to a low low LOW price of $17.00. Amaze-a-balls! No complaining here!


Being in Seattle, I'll most likely start wearing it by October. The best part is knowing that I won't feel burdened once I get sick of it. I know I'm going off on a tangent here but... I still have my boring North Face jackets even though I am tired of wearing those. I feel like I need get a little more wear out of them just to justify how much they cost. And yes, I confess, I bought my first North Face to conform. Everyone everywhere had one!!! But hey, they have really kept me warm comparing to other jackets I own, and I get cold easily so I appreciate the comfort I get.

Back to original topic...

My order came in today and after trying them on, about half will be returned. I probably won't shop there again until next year summer... maybe I can score another jacket or coat? LOL!

The Coach bag I purchased from their factory sale just came in today! I wanted a tote but I was afraid it'll be too big for my frame so I settled for a medium sized purse.



It was retailing for $328 but they had it on sale for 77% off. It was still a little pricey for my taste because, you know me, I mostly shop the racks and junior stores. Haha!

Oooh! South Park game that lets you customize your character! I would love to play this but it won't come out until March of next year.
