Shopaholic Fashionista!

shopping spree!

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 00:28:00 +0000

I have a confession to make: I am already broke right now coz I had a shopping spree during my first Monday day off (February 1). :) I was the only one who had the day off that day (among the 4 roommates), so I went shopping all alone and I enjoyed it a lot. And the end result: I end up spending 100 Euro in just one day and my allowance for the month of February is almost done and the end of the month is still 2 weeks from now. Grrrrrrrrr! I know, I really have to control my love for shopping, if not, I'll really end up very broke!

I'm gonna show the items that I bought here, but I'll do it one-at-a-time and I still have to take photos of the items, to when, I don't know yet. You know, I am busy at the moment and lazy too, hehehe.

Winter sale in Barcelona!

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 21:47:00 +0000

The winter sale here in Barcelona is still on going! It started a day after 3 Kings. Every store here have the catching and colorful "rebajas (in Castellano) or rebaixes (in Catalan) " words on their walls. The sale is up to 70% and there's a lot of nice items to buy. I am into clothes, shoes and bags and there's a lot on sale. Oh boy, I am so eager to go shopping, but too bad and I don't have much time.:( My work schedule here in BCN is so crazy, not like in Denmark and Norway that I am already off on Friday afternoons. Here, I work 'til Saturday afternoon and I do attend Spanish class at 5pm, so I don't have much time left for shopping and roaming around.

Hope that I'll have some spare time this weekend, so I can purchase the things that I'm planning to buy.

Update!

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 15:02:00 +0000

Forgive me for not updating this blog for 6 months now.:( I have been so busy with work and with my extra curricular activities during the weekend. I haven't forgotten about this blog though, and I keep on thinking about updating it one day. And finally, that day has come already and I'm so glad. :)

I have a lot of shopping and fashion stories to share and I just hope that I'll find enough time to write them all here. But definitely, I'll do my best to keep posting here, atleast one or twice a week.

See you around and advance Merry Christmas to all!

Shopaholic Fashionista!

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 09:56:00 +0000

Welcome to my newly retouched blog! I have been planning to change and give a new look to each of my blogs for almost 1 month now. But due to my hectic sched, I was not able to do it right away. But I did it slowly and as of now, I already changed 3 of my blogs.:)

I also bought a new domain for this blog with a new title "Shopaholic Fashionista"! And I think this is a good title coz it describes me a bit,hehehe. I love fashion and shopping too:). I will share to you my shopping adventures here in Spain and good finds in the net and anything that's related to fashion and shopping.

Anyways, I love my new LO coz it fits the title very well and I got it from BTemplates. Many Thanks!

So hot in here...

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 22:28:00 +0000

Argggg, it has been so hot here lately and I kept on sweating almost all day.grrrrrrrrrrrr! And it´s not even summer here officially, so what more when the official summer comes? Grrrrrrrrrrr! My friends who already experienced summer here said that summer here is hotter than Pinas. Ohh my, how frustrating! Good thing about the warm weather though is that I keep on sweating and it means that my system is burning fats more than the usual. So it´s like taking one of the fat burners available in the market, hhehehe. I´ll just told myself about it, so I won´t feel so bad about fanning myself every now and then,:)

Videoke time..

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 22:21:00 +0000

Yohoo, I had fun last weekend together with my friends. As agreed the weekend before, we went to "Pasa - Pasa", a Filipino restaurant in Barcelona with a Videoke. It´s named "pasa2x" due to the act of passing the microphone to the next person who will be singing:). The guys wanted to be there at 8pm, but we end up going there at around 12 and we walked all the way from the house, so we finally arrived at around 1am. And I know the guys were so disappointed about it. Now they know that girls are never on time,hehehe. There were only few costumers, so we got a lot of chance to sing. The guys shocked us coz we thought that they are shy guys. But we were wrong coz they´re never shy when it comes to singing,hehehe. We had so much fun and we went home at 4am. One thing is for sure, we are going there often,hehehe.

weight gain...

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 21:40:00 +0000

Argggg, so frustrating coz all my "ates" noticed the weight gain.:( Yes, I gained weight last week, though it didn´t go back to the old 56 kg., but a gain is really noticeable since the tummy is bulging bigger than the usual,hehehe. My fault coz I was getting careless in my food intake knowing that I already lost weight and that I am already 52 kg. Argggggg. And this week, I am back to my dieting and more careful in my eating habits. I hope the "ates" won´t tell me anymore that I am still gaining weight,hehehe. No need to take diet supplements coz the situation is still manageable,hehehe.

no entertainment....

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 22:02:00 +0000

I haven´t had any entertainment last week (aside from my internet connection) and I think, it will be the same case this week.:( I have been so tired from the moving that we did and I don´t have energy to read or blog hop,etc. All I want is to sleep during my free time. Last night, I slept at 10:30pm without even bothering to open my lappy, the very first time in history since I got my usb net connection,hehehe.

a new house...

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 20:16:00 +0000

I already moved to a new house together with my roommates and the owners of my old boarding house (a couple). The couple found a new place near La Rambla and it was 5x bigger than the house in Barceloneta. They decided to transfer and we are so glad about it. Aside from having a lot of space now, the house is also located in the center of Barcelona, near all the shopping centers and supermarkets. So, it means that my budget is in trouble,heheheh. But we really like it a lot coz it´s also very near the Church and the train station. So, we don´t have to hike far in going to church and we don´t have to pay for the bus everytime we go window shopping:)

We finally moved to the house on Saturday, after a weekend of moving boxes, huge plastic bags, cabinets, foams, kitchen utensils and many more. Moving to a new place is indeed very tiring, so hopefully, no more moving in the future.:)

No energy for entertainment....

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Tue, 26 May 2009 21:16:00 +0000

Yes, I don´t have the energy for entertainment this week. I felt so tired and drained after moving to our new boarding house last weekend. Our landlady and landlord found a new place near La Rambla and we moved with them. We all love the place coz it´s 5x bigger than the old place and we are all excited. During the weekend, we moved most of our things there and thanks to our brother and sisters in CFC-FFL Barcelona who helped us with our moving coz without their help, moving would be impossible. We moved a lot of things and it took 4 trips for the van we hired to movew all the things.

We already arranged the living room of the new house, but the rooms are still messy. We still have few things in the old house and we will be sleeping in the new house on Sunday already. I am already so excited to arrange my things in my new room:)

Unchanging Love!

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Tue, 26 May 2009 21:05:00 +0000

I watched the wedding special of Judy Ann Santos and Ryan Agoncillo entitled: Unchanging Love last week and I was super kilig watching it!hehehe. Their wedding was really unique, though simple and I like it so much coz they were able to make it so solemn and private despite the fact that they´re both famous showbiz figures. If you haven´t watch the vid, you can watch it at PinoyChannel.

no more reading....

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Thu, 21 May 2009 21:35:00 +0000

Huhuhu, I missed reading already. It has been about 3 weeks that I haven´t read a novel and I am sad:( I have been busy in the net lately! I really need to visit Tita T. place so I can return the Vince Flynn novels that I borrowed and so I can borrow the last of Flynn´s novel in Tita´s bookshelf. I have to do it so soon coz I miss reading already and I am so curious as to what happen to Mitch Rapp in the other novel. I´m going to tell you when I find out soon,hehehe.

Teyona : ANTM Cycle 12 winner

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Wed, 20 May 2009 21:01:00 +0000

(Photo courtesy of http://honestlyantm12.wordpress.com) Glad that the finale episode of ANTM Cycle 12 is already available at YouTube and I watched it last night. Teyona and Allison were the final 2 competing in the fashion show and Teyona was declared as the winner. I am not so happy with it coz I want Allison to win coz she really had a very huge transformation compared to Teyona. But then during the runway showdown, Teyona´s walk was strong compared to Allison.

Though I´ve been disappointed by some results of ANTM, but it will not stop me from watching the show. I´ll always be a fan.:)

crazy about ANTM once again...

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Tue, 19 May 2009 21:09:00 +0000

Argggg, I am so sorry for not updating this blog so often:( I am just busy with work and with my other blogs:( But even if I am not updating this entertainment blog, it doesn´t mean that I am bored during my free time:) I still have some entertainment, no matter how busy the day is, coz I´ll get crazy without it.

One of my entertainment these days is watching America´s Next Top Model (ANTM) Cycle 12. I have been watching ANTM since my Denmark days. I just love the show and Tyra Banks. But I am not very happy in this Cycle coz my favorites (Celia and Fo) were already sent home. But among the 2, Celia is my top 1 coz she´s very nice and she really looks like a model, but too bad and she´s sent home coz the judges said that she´s too old to start in the modelling industry at the age of 25. Grrrrrrrrrr!!! Now, 3 girls are left and I haven´t seen the finale yet coz the vid is not available in YouTube yet.

The Third Option

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Fri, 01 May 2009 21:20:00 +0000

(Photo credit: http://books.simonandschuster.com). The Third Option is the very first novel I read by Vince Flynn and after reading the novel, it made me crave for more:) I really like Fynn's writing coz it pushes me to just keep on reading without minding the time:) And his style is really what I'm looking for in a novel: suspense, thrill, action with some romance,hehehe. The novel really made me sleepless for nights and I even sneaked to my room just to read a bit when my employers are away. And more importantly, the novel made me fall for Mitch Rapp.:)

I am a good reader (my own assessment), but I am really a bad storyteller. So, instead of giving you my own summary of the novel, here's one from http://books.simonandschuster.com:

--------------------------------------------------

When diplomacy has failed and military intervention is deemed inappropriate, our leaders often turn to a silent and dark community for results. This is a course of action not always taken by wise and honorable men. In certain circles it is known as
The Third Option

Fresh from retaking a battle-scarred White House after a vicious terrorist attack on the president, Mitch Rapp, the CIA's top counterterrorism operative, is sent on his final mission. His target: a well-known German industrialist who has been selling highly sensitive equipment to one of the world's most notorious sponsors of terrorism. As Rapp meticulously prepares to take the man out, he has no idea that there are forces within his own government that are plotting to use him.

Thomas Stansfield, the aged director of the CIA, is dying of cancer -- and he and the president have chosen as his successor Dr. Irene Kennedy, the director of the CIA's Counterterrorism Center. There are others in Washington, however, who could not imagine a more unwelcome choice, and they are willing to resort to extreme measures to prevent Kennedy from taking the reins of the world's most powerful intelligence agency.

The conspirators have devised a bold plan that will damage the president and ruin Kennedy's career, allowing them to put someone they can control at the helm of the CIA. Unfortunately for them, they have made one horrible miscalculation: they have chosen Mitch Rapp as their pawn.

Their worst nightmare is about to be realized. They have enraged one of the most lethal and efficient killers the CIA has ever produced -- and he will stop at nothing until he finds out who set him up.

a busy weekend....

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 20:09:00 +0000

I had a very busy weekend, but it was all worth it coz I had a lot of fun with my friends who are already like a family to me here in Spain. :) As mentioned in my earlier post, Ate R., my roommate, had her bday celebration on Saturday. Our landlady and landlord gave a her a little surprise party and I was there connivance.:) My role was picking up the visitors at the bus stop and coz the visitors came in 3 batches, so I also end up going to the bus stop 3x,hehehe. When the visitors started coming, Ate R., was really surprise coz she thought that it will only be us.

I was not able to check PC city if the Nikon D60 sale was still on. I didn´t even have the time to buy a gift for Ate. Good thing and Ate B., our new roommate was at the center, so I asked her to just buy the gift and we´ll share the cost. She bought a Massimo Dutti blouse for Ate and glad coz it fitted her well and she liked it. :)

excited...

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 21:37:00 +0000

Yes, I´m already excited to have my day-off tomorrow afternoon. I just hope that I can go earlier coz I have a lot of things to check out in Barcelona. First, I´m going to check if the sale of Nikon D60 is still on at PC City. Then, I´m going to look for a gift for Ate R., my roommate who had her bday on the 14th, but the celebration will be tomorrow. And I also have to help my landlady and landlord in preparing the food for Ate R. And the list goes on and on, hehehe. I just hope the weather will be nice tomorrow, as to enjoy the weekend more. It was been raining almost everyday this week and I hope they´ll not fall this weekend:)

novels at eBay...

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 21:29:00 +0000

I am so glad coz I am finally back doing my ultimate hobby which is reading especially reading horror and suspense novels.:) and thanks to Vince Flynn:) I´ve been looking for a bookstore here in Barcelona that sells 2nd-hand books, just like Booksale in PI, but so far I haven´t seen any. So last night, I checked out Ebay.uk and I found a lot of books there by my fave authors. I checked out Stephen King first and I contacted the seller about the shipping cost and glad that he replied immediately. The cost isn´t too bad, so if it will not get so expensive, then I´m going to buy 6 Stephen King novels from the seller and if it´s materialized then it will be my very 1st eBay purchase.:)

a reminder...

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:05:00 +0000

As I mentioned before, I already left my hostfamily for 5 months coz I can´t handle it anymore. The female employer is so strange and the kids just don´t listen to me. So, even if the man is very nice to me, but I have to leave coz I don´t have peace of mind and I am not comfortable working there anymore. But it´s so funny coz I always remember them (especially the male) everyday here in my new job coz of the Grohe faucet in the master´s bathroom coz my male employer in the previous job works for Grohe before with a high position. I can´t remember his exact position, but he´s managing some parts of Europe and travels constantly.

so much things to do...

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:50:00 +0000

I want to do a lot of things and can´t figure out how to do them all and what should I do first:) How I wish that one day consists of more than 24 hours to give me more time to do things. But since it´s not the case, so it means that I have to prioritize things. I have to divide my free time accordingly so I can do all the things I want to do : reading the Bible, reading novels, blogging, studying Spanish, watching movies in the net and a lot more. My head is really aching coz I wanted to do them all in a day, but it seems impossible. But I know it´s possible if I will practice a good time management, but it´s one of the things I´m not good at:( So let´s see what´s gonna happen.

Addicted to Vince Flynn!!

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:41:00 +0000

Ohhh my, I have a new addiction now and that´s Vince Flynn or should I say his novels. It started about 3 weeks ago as I visited one of our cfc-ffl coordinators with my other sisters in the community. They have several novels there and Tita was telling us that we can borrow the novels if we want. I looked at the authors´ names and no one is familiar. So, I tried to read the summary at the back of the novels and I liked the summary of one of Vince Flynn´s novels coz it´s about the CIA and terrorism. The subjects that I really want, I´m not into love stories anyway, just in case you don´t know,hehehe. And Tita has 4 Vince Flynn´s novels. I borrowed 2 and I already finished one novel. I am still reading the 2nd one and the 3rd one is still in the closet waiting for its turn:) And the 4th one is still in Tita´s place, also waiting for me to pick it up,hehehe.

And I can say that Vince Flynn already joins John Grisham and Stephen King as my favorite authors.

new job....

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 19:57:00 +0000

Thanks God and I am already stabilized now with my work. After being a substitute for 6 weeks, I finally started working with my permanent family (hopefully) last week and so far, so good. They have 2 children, 3 and 1/2 (girl) and 18 months (boy) and my main focus is the boy since the girl goes to school. The baby is very entertaining and I never feel tired at the end of the day. I am very relaxed here compared with my old job before and the couple is very nice to me too. I don´t feel any discomfort working even if they are around. I just hope that they will not change and hope that they like me too and that they´ll decide to process my papers very soon.

On another topic, I am planning to continue taking the diet pills I bought in Thailand when I was still in Norway. I know, I already promised before not to take it anymore, but I don´t want to throw it too since I didn´t get them cheap. So, I think I´ll give it another try before finally giving up on it:)

permanent connection atlast!

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 19:50:00 +0000

Yohoo!!I am so happy coz I finally have a permanent internet connection, so it means that I´ll be blogging more often, if not everyday:) I subscribed for a wireless internet connection with unlimited usage and the it comes with a promo of availing HP mini 2133 for only 100 euros instead of the original 399 euros without internet connection. I decided to grabbed the promo coz it´s easier for me to bring the HP mini than transporting my heavy acer lappy.

So now, it´s back to business:) Thanks God! An atleast I will not be bore to death here in my work since I´m stay-in, so atleast I have some entertainment during my freetime.

My new HP mini 2133.

crisis...

noreply@blogger.com (julai) — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 00:54:00 +0000

I know that crisis is all-over the world now, but I'm referring to my own crisis,heheh. The cash drawer has been empty for more than a month now,hehehe. My employers didn't gave me a 1 month salary and I'll get my salary at the end of the month in my temporary job. So, it was been really a financial struggle. Trying to budget the last amount left on the cash drawer,:) But truly, God always provides,so I'm still able to but my needs. Thanks God, HE's truly great!
