he has more...

This is true for my husband.

He has more pair of shoes than me.


I love shoes but he has more. And the thing is when he likes a pair, he buys more than 1 pair! Last December he bought 4 pairs of walking shoes. His reason? A pair just last for six months only. Since it's on sale, he better stock up. Ok, that's reasonable...


I'm thinking of buying myself a pair of flat shoes...but still thinking.


Don't think that we're an impulsive shopper, but we're not. We only buy what we need and will use. And we only buy if it's on sale.

boxing day

When I first came to Canada, I was wondering what's in "boxing day?"
I thought it's a boxing day literally, you know with the gloves and everything since in the Philippines boxing is really famous- Manny Pacquiao mania.

Last Sunday is my second boxing day experience. My hubby and I had a "date" as my in-laws call it because the kids are left with them. A "date" on boxing day? So romantic, huh? :))

Yey! I was more excited because I don't have kids to worry about! NO whining, no complaining, no "again?", no "I'm hungry", no "I have to go to the washroom".

So many people, no parking, cold but what you expect, it's boxing day!

We went only to some stores but don't have a specific item to buy. But one store that made hubby and I satisfied- Reebok outlet store. I told my hubby I want to go there but at first he doesn't want to. Since he doesn't have a choice, he joined me.
Too many people inside and it's like a jungle here. Shoes on the floor everywhere and a long line at the cashier. Hmm, what's happening here?

This is the reason why:



We both got a pair of running shoes for $25 and $30 each. A really great price. And off we go.

What have you got from boxing day?

my Supposedly Xmas shopping

I decided to have MY Xmas shopping last Saturday. I need to reward myself since I've been working on weekends twice last November and will work straight from Dec. 3-23 including weekends. so no time to shop. I was thinking of buying a new pair of boots (after reading Sandra's Boots Fashion Show). It'll be great to have one especially wearing my jeggings.

We went first to StyleSense (shoes haven with low prices). No luck. We went next to Winners my favorite store (who doesn't?). But unfortunately, I don't find anything I like.
Whenever we go to Winners, my kids usually stays at the toys section. So I let them scan the toys there. My son saw a pencil set with a Bakugan design. Bakugan? what's that? He never let go of the pencil set. so I just let him hold it for a while and maybe before we leave the store he will forget about it. I found a pair of pants for him and went straight to the cashier. Since Christmas is fast approaching, expect a long line. And there, a very, very long line. I'm not falling in line, don't have the patience to stand there for only one item. And besides it will really take my time and I don't have my boots yet.

Ready to leave, here comes my son holding the Bakugan pencil set. He really wants it. I told him I am not buying it. After hearing the NOT buying it, he's ready to throw a tantrum. Teary eyed and crying out loud made me irritated. I told my hubby I will not fall in line for just two items. Sorry son, cry your heart out, even cry out loud and make a scene but I will definitely not be carried away.

A little irritated, what's a Bakugan anyway? Bakugan is a Japanese anime Tv series which initially failed in Japan but is so popular in USA and Canada. What's in it that he really like? And how come he knew about it? So Hubby and I decided to take him to Walmart and look for a Bakugan toy. So he agreed and stopped crying. Next destination: Walmart.

Finally, we found the Bakugan toy and costs almost six dollars! But since we promised, we bought it. Enough with the Bakugan! It's my turn now. We went to another Winners, still no luck. But hubby is happy, he bought a pair of Nike rubber shoes. Hmmp... and I'm the one shopping here.

And we went home without my boots. :(
