S&R Members’ Treat

For this year, the first S&R Members’ Treat happened from March 13 to 17. It was five days full of shopping for goods that were heavily discounted, some of them even on a buy one, take one promo. We got to visit last Friday night at the Aseana-Baclaran branch on our way home to Cavite. With our limited money, we only bought a few items.

As we have expected, the place was jampacked with people and the lines to the cashier were exaggeratedly long. Haha. We did the smart thing by queuing up while we alternately looked for what we wanted to buy. Among the items we took home, this was what I liked best:

Rock Stars Rock

My brother’s outfit today is inspired by a rock star. He went to work this morning wearing all black with matching skull accessories for a fierce look. All that’s missing is a new epiphone dot and he could pass as member of a rock band. My brother is a teacher and because classes have been over recently (at least in their school), he’s now finishing the grades of his students wearing civilian clothes.

Speaking of rock bands, I really admire the way they express themselves through their clothing and the intense energy they have when performing on stage. Those electric guitars and other musical paraphernalia they use speak a lot about their freedom of expression and distinct individuality.

Webhosting Trouble

I just found out this morning that a part of this blog’s backup has been lost. I checked this blog’s content and learned that my previous posts starting March 9, 2013 up to yesterday have disappeared. I panicked because I didn’t have a backup of those.

I contacted my webhost provider and he said he did something wrong and was trying to correct it. I knew these things happen so I didn’t make a big deal out of it. I just rewrote everything from memory. Good thing I still have them inside my head, although just the short cut versions.

A Well-Spent Day

Don’t you wish all your days are well-spent? If that is the case, then maybe there are more reasons to be happy about. A well-spent day for me is one where I am not only productive but also doing meaningful things for myself and for the people I love. Or just a plain day spent doing crazy things with the people dearest to me.

Busy or not, the day should be well-spent in such a way that the overall experience becomes so enriching and unforgettable at the same time. Unfortunately, it’s not every day that we get to experience a well-spent day. There are days that are forgettable and there are days that are regrettable. When our attitude becomes sour or goes downhill, or the circumstances surrounding our day become uncontrollable or go for the worse, we are left with very limited options to make our day right.

Getting Fit with Zumba

Zumba is a Colombian dance fitness program developed in the 1990s. It combines Latin and international music for a more fun and interesting workout. A lot of people swears by its effectiveness in losing weight and getting those shapely curves.

zumba time with the girls from work

I first tried zumba during a fitness event I attended before. A friend reintroduced me to this unique form of exercise a few weeks go and when I tried it again, I got hooked. Actually, I just wanted to lose weight and harness my dancing skills (or lack thereof). Haha.

Shopping for Bags Online

Instagram (or IG for short) being a social media site is now a venue for online sellers to reach out to a bigger market. I have actually found an online seller there selling stylish but affordable bags.

my three new bags

I followed @iamshopaholicmom at IG and bought three new bags from her ( a tote bag, a satchel and a drawstring). I liked how easy it was to deal with her and the shipping was faster than I had expected. It was also love at first sight when I first laid my eyes on the bags. The quality was superb and the material used (high quality synthetic leather) looked expensive-looking.
