F21 BOGO and Dapitan Arcade Haul

If you read my mid life crisis post then you probably know by now that I'm bored and any little good distraction would amaze me and so when my sister said she's going to Dapitan arcade, I tag along even if I don't have any stuff in mind.  Despite having arcade in it's name, Dapitan Arcade is not a place full of coin operated entertainment machine but instead full of stuff for your homes like plates, cups, baskets, vases and those kind of stuff that makes me decorate in mind my dream flat.  It was amazing that the place looks like a mini Christmas Village right now because of christmassy decors that my sister couldn't help but get plates with a santa and a snowman, I mean she can only use those during holiday season but still I think it's a very good buy because of it's classy feel and they are the last piece.  I also got some "last piece" stuff for my tea time that I really really adore:

why do I find it elegant?

classic cup

Think I'm weird for being ecstatic for having a big plate and a cup?  Anyway I got those two for only P90 although I think I could get them for P70 if I'm good at bargaining.

I love this effect from pixlr

Moving on,  another distraction for my week is Forever21's sale and BOGO (buy one get one).  I went to the Makati store last Friday evening because my sis went home at around 3pm carrying two bags of F21 goods giddily reporting to me that she found some steal stuff.

So I march inside the store and my oh my the place is in total wreck and the ladies are like bees swarming on every rack of clothes leaving it empty and I'm not exaggerating because I saw a rack of camis and went around for 5 minutes and I when I went back to the cami rack, it's already empty.  Whew, I almost didn't get anything after 30 minutes of looking around and would like to join the bandwagon of guys looking bored with line of shoes as their back-draft while looking and waiting for their girlfriends and wives crazily shopping untill I saw a P555 black  pants and it seems that there's this light/voice guiding me making me look left or right and down to an item.

I managed to grab 7 items but let go of the 2 other because of a defect and a size problem plus buying 4 tops and a pants in one go is already too much for me.

love the collar

This is the first top that got my attention because I'm into collars and it's just hangin in the not sale rack but saw that it has an orange price tag so I know that it's on sale and it's also part of the BOGO event.  This is the priciest that I bought at P719 (original price is P1025 around $27).

for the new year?

Another item that is just chillin the not on sale rack is this polka dotted sleeveless top/shirt dress that I think is perfect for the New Year because it's polka dots plus it has this  ruffles? I don't know what it's called but it can perfectly hide my tummy in case I eat to much.  P619 originally at P915 (around P22).

Now for the BOGOs of the the two.

I'm loving the buttons and I'm loving the "lomo" effect of this photo

The first thing that attracted me is the bronzy button of this shirt.  I'm also loving that it fits perfectly in my shoulder area but a bit loose all over, it's makes me relax but I hope I can wear this on a job interview :P
This is P619, a perfect BOGO for the polka dotted top.

I love the leather detail

Just a simple shirt that I almost bought two months ago (and hallelujah I didn't bought it) that is crumpled on the floor of the store.  Luckily it's on my size and it's only P569 and is the BOGO of the first top.  I actually managed to find a good looking top that also has leather on it that is on the P700 mark to match the P719 top. It fits perfectly when I'm standing but bulges everywhere when I sit so I have to let it go.

the pants that started it all

And of course the pants...I think I'm going to get another one if it's still on sale.  The material is just okay for it's price but I'm liking that I can wear it in a formal, casual or ragged days and it also fits me and I seldom find pants that can fit my unusual body type.

I have enough of the tops but there are a whole lot more items that I wanted to buy like shoes, jackets and cardigan but well I don't think I can rock them so that's it for now and hope that there are more like these kind of promotion from Forever 21 Philippines.

Thanks for reading. Till then. Bye!
p.s.  I'm listening to YouTube Mix - Metric | Youth Without Youth (Official Video) and I'm loving it :)

I love Crosses and shoes

Last Friday, I wanted to treat myself to a shopping spree in Forever21 as a gift to myself.  feeling excited, I went over to Forever21 website virtually went window shopping.  I don't why, but I suddenly love crosses!!!!!!!

Here are some that caught my eyes!

I'm not into accessories I even remove my watch when I'm in the office and yet these two caught my attention

And shoes of course.  I'm not really into girly shoes.  I own 5 or or was it 7 pairs of sneakers before but have to stop wearing them because of the change in the dress code of the company I'm working with.  Ever since, I wear flats either in plain or with buckle or ribbon but they all do not make my feet comfortable or I just got used to the comfort of sneakers.

Anyway, I didn't see any items that I like in Forever21 in SM Makati which sucks.  Sad sad sad.  I'll just try to enjoy the bed weather here in the Philippines.  Stay safe everyone.

Thanks for reading. Till then. Bye!

Random Pics and Favorites

First Shopping:  I bought 3 tops from Forever 21 two of which are on sale and Nature Republic (Philippines) masks and aloe stuff since they mark down their prices this February.  And oh it's almost a year since I had my GEX500 camera but it's only now that I discovered that it has a fish eye effect.  Three first picture have the said effect.

I'm still hiding so I can't show you the entirety of the tops

I just love the details of my tops from Forever 21:  the beige one has the perfect combination of femininity and masculinity because of the black circle synthetic leathers that are attached in the shoulders and the blue one has the versatility feature that can be worn in a formal or dress down way.  For those who will shop for sale in Forever 21 in North Edsa ask first for the sale items because not all items that are on the sale area are on sale some are just..lost!  The tags also have codes like mine have 231 scribbles on the tag.  The SAs don't know the meaning so ask in the cashier area.

love the new packaging of the masks

this is the freebie that  I got , I gave it to my niece since she likes it

As for Nature Republic, yep they finally mark down their prices like around 20%.  I hope it's forever since the original mark up is 100% when compared to Korea.  Some items are on 50% sale too.  Ask for the new prices with the SAs since the tag on the shelves are the old ones.

Next Fooooooooooooooood.

Hansel Premium Cheese Sandwich

I love cheese.  Although I don't know the types of cheese I can say that I love cheese.  Some find this cookie sandwich filled with cheese weird but I just can't help munching it especially when paired with tea.

Tetley English Breakfast

Already tried green tea, white tea, black tea, earl gray tea. teas with mint, teas with peppermint, with lemon, ginseng, caramel and with flowery taste and milk teas.  Now it's time for english breakfast.  Love it!
