This coming Friday, July 15, Ogie and Regine’s Celebrity Ukay Ukay will be launched officially via ebay.ph. Seven interesting finds formerly owned by our very own well known artists will be up for grabs before the week ends. Let me just say that this online shopping are notches ahead of what we usually do when we go splurging through our usual online shopping.
Ogie and Regine’s Celebrity Ukay Ukay‘s sole recipient for its sales is GMA Kapuso Foundation. This particular auction zeroing in on Kapuso School Development Project (KSD). Our local celebrities are giving away their stuff (most of which cost a lot) for this particular project. Now this is something online shoppers might as well swerve to – shopping for a cause. Present during yesterday’s press con was GMA Kapuso Foundation’s Vice President/COO Mel Tiangco, sharing with us the burden of the plight of our country’s underprivileged students.
This will certainly give us a whole new way of looking at shopping. We’re not just guaranteed with authentic and good quality stuff, we’re also helping provide students of underserved public schools all over the country with decent and functional classrooms with water distribution and sanitation facilities and environmental awareness through tree planting around the school building. How’s that for making a difference in the third world where organizations like this (unbeknownst to a whole bunch of people) are actively doing for our fellowmen? It is plain admirable, in my opinion.

Mr. Henry Perez, GMA Kapuso Foundation’s Executive Director shared with us that since 2003, the Kapuso Development Project has constructed and repaired 250 classrooms in the poorest and remotest communities across the country. Those who were affected by Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng in 2009 benefited from the 89 classrooms that were built by the KDP last year.
Celebrity Ukay Ukay will be jumpstarted with items donated by Chris Tiu, Dingdong Dantes, Ogie Alcasid, Kris Aquino, John Lapuz and Sharon Cuneta on July 15.
Chris Tiu’s autographed jersey will be up for auction with bid price starting at P499. Chris Tiu wore this when he played in one of the games for GMA network. Read the rest of this entry »

Are you done with your Christmas shopping just yet? You have to agree with me when I say that ladies are the easiest to give presents to. You go to nearby bazaars, which are practically all over the place these days and you get a variety of picks. Whilst presents for men and boys can be on the more challenging side.

I am one pampered girl! I always love it when September comes because I get all the pampering I could ever have especially when it comes to shopping. My husband is the sweetest in the world and tells me as soon as September comes to go and shop around. Read the rest of this entry »
Truth be told, shopping is more than just retail therapy. It is a practical necessity that we do on a regular basis to replenish things that we consume. For as long as I can remember, my default shopping place has always been SM. I just find it ever so convenient that they carry so many brands that I need and its being practically a one stop shop.
I was taken a back with emails being forwarded talking about SM’s so-called manipulation of price tags. As per these emails, the tag on the items does not reconcile with the cost that reflects on the cash register.

One of the things a kikay struggle with is the urgency to constantly replenish her stash of makeup, accessories, even wardrobes! While indulging can be the easiest way to get this urgency out of of our hairs, truth is, retail therapy can be overrated.

Shopping is fun. That’s something most girls would agree with me about. But that is not to say that only women love shopping. Men love shopping as well. In this age of consumerism, it really is easy to fall trap if we are not careful. Shopping is not bad in itself. It is the most natural thing, even as we consume things we use on a daily basis. The thing is to be wise at doing it.

One of the things we women love is home tv shopping, right? I know I do. Although there are a few channels that do not offer quality products, it’s a treasure to be able to spot one that does. I heard that at least one channel from amongst the Direct TV Deals does.

One of the more challenging things that a girl has to do is to get hold of a good brand that carries stylish but comfortable heels and shoes. I personally cannot stand getting blisters around my feet and having to limp after a while of walking. I happen to belong to the bunch who believes that fashion does not have to hurt.
