Online Shopping

Online shopping is really great --- its convenient, you can do it anytime at the comfort of your own home and its actually cheaper more often than not. This is especially true here in Australia where its, I think, more expensive to shop, compared to other parts of the world like States and in Asia, for example the Philippines. That being said, I once in a while give in to shopping online:) Even while I was still in Manila, I was already a patron of online shops in Multiply. ( Now I think the sellers have to moved to Facebook? Di ko na inabot ) I got a lot online then, from baby bottles, to a breast pump, to kid's clothing, to handmade soaps... Suki talaga ako hahaha
Here in Oz my last online purchase was through Dorothy Perkins. I usually buy when they have sales/discounts and when they offer free shipping. It's a bit tricky when buying clothing though since you can't fit it and if you don't like it its not exactly cheap to send it back for a refund. So you really take a risk in that sense but once you get to know your size in a particular brand/label you're more or less okay. And its still shopping so its all fun:)

On sale: Cotton On

I'm really starting to like Cotton On already. Before I always just passed by it whenever we go to the mall since I figured its much cheaper to buy in Kmart or Target for clothing basics but I think I was wrong :) Especially now that they are on sale!!!! Like for today I got 3 tops for just $20.

blue and white stripe shirt

longsleeve top in dusty olive

long sleeve top in white

Not in the picture is the blue and white stripey shirt I also got for Nix. Excited sya e, she's wearing it already:)

Early morning shopping

Since it was already way past my bedtime last night, there wasn't much on the tv except for infomercials. Last night it was about the Your Baby Can Read Dvds. It really got me watching because they were showing all these  videos of babies and toddlers reading. I saw this infomercial before pa, while we were still in Manila and I wanted to get one sana for Nix but it was expensive. Last night I was thinking of getting it so I googled their website here in Oz and it was still expensive, $299! So I figured there is probably an alternative to teaching my baby to read that I could afford and I came upon this

from hooked on phonics.com

Since I'm not sure if they deliver outside US, I went to Amazon and saw they had this, yehey! So I ordered the Learn to Read Pre-K complete set plus this

It was my first time to order from Amazon so I'm hoping it will turn out okay and we'll receive the package as scheduled which is from end of June at the earliest (priority shipping was too expensive already so have to wait a bit I guess).  So excited:)

Recent buys

Went to the shops last weekend since we needed to buy some stuff for Nix' upcoming birthday. It will just be the three of us but still we want to make it special that's why were planning on giving her an extra special surprise on that day. Hopefully it all works out *wink*

Anyways, since its June already end of financial year sale is all over. So tempting! Here are the things we got:

All for the kitchen so medyo allowable ang gastos na ito:)

My favorite buy which I still have to use is the mini frying pan. Madali kasi hugasan when I just need to cook a little of something diba:)

Lazinesssss

As my daughter would exclaim, "oh dea-h"

our little easter bunny

It is almost end of the month and I havent even blogged anything. My last entry was a month ago! Hmm, what is new? Well, my parents are here for a short vacation, yey! It means a little break from the cooking and doing the laundry, thanks to my mom (who's addicted to the washing machine hehe). It also means Nix is also super happy being able to play with lolo and lola. But though I try not to think about it, well we will be sad when they leave ...Pero that is still weeks away so happy thoughts lang muna.

Yesterday was Easter sunday so we went to church and then had yumcha at a nearby chinese resto. It was our second time there and I love the fact that even just a were seating down, the cart loaded with dimsum is already there and we could take our pick and dig in right away! I liked the seafood rolls and the chicken feet. My favorite though is their crispy chicken, love the way it is seasoned and I love the fact that Nix eats it with rice without any fuss, subo lang ng subo. Service was great as well, without asking, they refilled the teapot with hot jasmine tea na bagay na bagay since malamig ang panahon.

After lunch we went to nearby Sam's warehouse and that was where Nix got her bunny ears. She likes it so much, hanggang ngayon hop pa din ng hop. Sulit ang $2 ni lolo, hehe.

Hope you all had a good Easter weekend!
