The Shopaholic In Me

I just came from the Richwell Sale.  I so love all stuff I bought.  There were a lot of people so expect to line-up for 3 hours just to pay.  Better bring a companion to help you in lining up while you shop around and a driver to just drop you off because parking spaces inside the warehouse are very limited. You would have to risk not to be towed when you parked along the road outside the gate.

Good thing there was Apple who was there early as well. Thanks for lining up girl! She already started lining up at 2pm and I was still able to move around while we put all our finds in one corner. She was quick in buying her toys. Apparently, I noticed a lot of barbie items which I went ga-ga over! The sales assistants are saying they are bringing out more items in the succeeding days. Gee, I want to go back tomorrow!!!

I almost bought all barbie dollhouse I could see, (hehehe). And you literally have to get the first find and then don’t let it slip your hand anymore. Otherwise, you can’t find it again. Apple and Toni helped me decide which among the dollhouses and other accessories should I get. I would have bought both if I didn’t see the barbie vanity table and chair. I was so happy when I learned that it was priced 50% off. Then I saw the chicco vanity table and chair also. I asked for the price, it was just Php300 more expensive that the barbie set. I can’t decide. I want the chicco cause I know its durability but I want the barbie because of its color pink! Ok, no more thinking, I got both so my two girls would have their own each. (ang gastos ng anak na babae, grabe!)

I still want to get the step 2 slide which was Php2,800 only. The pony carousel which was at Php2,400 and the dora bike which was at Php1,200 only. But I decided to get the barbie dollhouse and accessories first. I plan to go back again to the warehouse and convince the husband to buy the outdoor play activities so we can have something to put for the garden at the back of the dreamhouse. I was looking for a big playhouse but they don’t have it yet as the sales girl said. There would be more “boys” items by tomorrow according to her.

For the meantime, these are all items I got:

Barbie Vanity Table Set - Php1500

Chicco Vanity Table Set - Php 1800

Barbie Playhouse (new-20% off) - Php 2000

Barbie Laptop - Php 1000

Barbie Living Room Set - Php 500

Barbie Pool Set - Php 300

Now, Santa Claus is ready for christmas gift-giving! lol!

I missed the Toy Kingdom Sale.  Gosh, I’m a bummer.  I even posted it here.  Too bad wasn’t able to make it since I had a wedding last Friday and two parties to attend to last weekend.  I heard there were lots of nice toys at great prices but I also heard a number of people who just went home empty handed because of the tremendous cashier line-up.  Anyway, I’d rather prepare myself instead for this friday.  Note:  I have blocked off my whole afternoon so I can go there early.  We are just 5 minutes away from this warehouse and I’ll truly be a big bummer if I don’t get there first and be among the first to see the great selections.  I hope it would be as good as 2years ago.  Last year was ok, but 2006 was better.  

I bet I’ll see some of you there!  (wink, wink)

And the little girl loves the chocolate cake…

She is now 2 years old exactly today. (reason why i posted her pics all across my blogs!) How time flies so fast! She’s an adorable toddler now.

Later, we will have a simple celebration at CRIBS Foundation to make her 2nd birthday meaningful. And on Sunday, will be the party with family and friends.

We love you Bianca! Happy 2nd Birthday to you!

Gee, I got a letter from Margaux’s teacher re their United Nations Activity 2 weeks from now. It would be on October 24, Friday. There’s was no specific country requested for Margaux. It is all up to the parents on what to ask their kids to wear. Ok, so I’m now searching for a nice and cute united nations costume. Of course, the dotting mother in me wants it to be unique, because they will parade in the whole grounds of Miriam College!!!!

Any suggestions and any leads where to get one? I have been “googling” national costumes of different countries now. I think I need to pull hair of some people (read: designers/dressmakers) for this in order to have one if I can’t find something readily available.

This is pressure!

Shangrila Mall

Saw some items in GAP on sale. 

Bought these for the two girls…

For Bianca…

For Margaux…

The shorts are both on sale at Php 371 each. If you buy 2, they would still deduct 20% more from the total, making it like less than Php300 only.  The tops are sold at Php595. I think the Gap store here is cheaper. Saw the same top in Singapore last month and it was at S$25 each.

Margaux won the best costume in the trick or treat party in hubby’s office last year. She was in her dumbo costume. Look here…

Now, as early as August, I’m already on the look out for great Halloween Costumes. I wonder what could be the best costume for her to wear? I also would like to get something for Bianca this year as I’m sure she would also enjoy the trick or treats already. I’m thinking that they would look great in some
Disney Costumes which i saw from Eastern Toys. They have lovely and unique costumes not only for children but also for adults. The prices online are also a steal, great prices! Oh, the girls love the disney princesses so much and adores Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty a lot. But I’m not sure yet if that’s what I’m getting for them since I am very sure there would be a lot of little girls out there who will also be on those costumes. I want something unique and playful so I’m browsing some more. My options could also be the Star Wars Costumes like the Star Wars Princess Leia costume for Margaux and the Star Wars Yoda Infant costume. These are both cute!

Hmm, what do you think?
