Shopaholic

The end of every season means BIG SALE, and my favorite among the seasonal sales is The Summer Sales 
… Okay, I’m one of those girls and I admit I can’t stop shopping 
... Ewan ko ba, eversince I moved here 6 years ago ,I fell into the shopping habit. There were times that I buy things that I dont really need. I love shoes, tops and bags. My Sad absorbers i guess. I find shopping one good way to relieve my loneliness and stress 
. Na-hohomesick kasi ako dati, di pa ko adjusted sa bago kong lifestyle at sa reality ng buhay. It’s a way different when you finally choose to act as a grown up person. Syempre di naman lagi aasa ka
. I had the chance to stay here so I grabbed the opportunity to work and earn. Nung una, try ko lang sana and then go back to Philippines to start a business pero bumabalik pa rin ako dito after few months (pag wala nako pera) 
So lucky lang na madami job opportunities, may career agad dito thus syempre fully adjusted na ako. I also have learned to love the culture as well as the people. Ibang iba kasi… you know.. So there, for some reason, shopping does lifts up my spirit … It’s fun and never thought of controlling it til I become a mom.
I have to be more of responsible shopper than an impulsive buyer 
Madami nako dapat i-consider aside from own self. Iba naman kasi nuon, family and sarili ko lang iniisip ko.
I still go on shopping though. Pero mas enjoy nako mamili ng stuffs for my baby, groceries or anything for our basic needs, more than for myself 
. Napansin ko nga, wala nako masyado nabibili para sa sarili ko, always for my baby, sa bahay namin, at sa ibang tao 
. I’m lucky that honey trusts me when it comes to this. He also understands especially now that I don’t earn my own money. He knows it gives me a little happiness kaya he lets me. Di sya kuripot. Kaya naman I see to it na I don’t buy goods na nonsense 
Anyway, MY SAY is that it’s necessary to reward yourself with the earnings you received through hard work 
Madami nako kasi nakilala dito na super workaholic pero lahat ng salary nila bigay agad sa family which I think is somehow good naman pero nalulungkot ako kapag nakikita ko sila na ganun lang ang routine nila, bahay-work-bahay-work at walang magawa kundi magcomplaine na napaka-stressful ng buhay
.
It’s good to be rewarded or treat ourselves in any way, even in simple things, not only shopping of course, even if you’re already married and a SAHM like me. Mahirap din kaya maging full time wifey and mom, especially if you’re living abroad, you know what I mean 
Thanks for the comments ~

Im not into shopping pero most women nga na pang relieve ng stress ang shopping. I agree with you that you should reward yourself lalo na if puro work na lang inatupag, wala ng social life. hehe..
Ganun ata talaga pag minahal mo talaga yung work mo, babalik at babalik ka pa din. LOLS.

hi sis.. You are so true in your post about shopping as form of self treat.. One deserves treat to oneself especially at the end of a hard day’s work. Un nga lang pag may family ka na, we sometimes buy for our love ones more than ourselves..
Sis , bago na pala look ng blog mo.. Sorry na busy ako lately.Love your new look..

Ok na ok yan, atleast nakikinabang ka sa mga binibili mo diba,nakaka-boost lalo ng self esteem at spirit… sarap talaga magshopping ng para sa sarili lang no. Kaya enjoy! keep on inspiring the singles.. madami din kaya natutunan mga readers mo sayo, lalo na mga youngsters.

shopping is a great stress reliever talaga.. super.. Yung tipong pag malapit na ang sweldo lalo kang nagwowork hard kasi you know na kapag nakuha mo na yung pay, deretso ka na shopping mall. at mas mayasa dun kapag Big Sale dahil surely marami kang mauuwi.
I just went shopping kanina and that is to reward myself kasi wala akong late for the whole month.. which is big deal for me kasi lage ako late sa work.
That’s why I wanna work abroad na rin.. can you help me how to find a job there? lol. seriously, gusto ko na talaga mag abroad, pero I don’t know where to start?

Hi
Very interesting and i agree with you’re outlook in life. Since I’m also a mom of two kids I stopped shopping ” Unnecessary things”
Dati talaga bili dito bili dun.
Now i enjoy shopping at Groceries, And baby stuff, Furnitures.( Ung kelangan lang)
The thing that made me interested to you’re blog is the question why is she using a Japanese advertisement.
I grew up in Japan since Yochien until Koukou.
And I came back to the Philippines after graduation.
Now im working in a Hotel Company as a Japanese executive, and living a really happy life ( Sometimes may probs din ) But i wanted to share some things with other people that seems that having a same experience with me.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks for your reply.
Speaking of Kiddos, my daughter’s 3rd birthday is on the 25th of September and i was wondering what to do for her.
we celebrated her 1st birthday with handa but didn’t celebrate when she turned 2. ( Tamang cake,foods and just invited some close friends)
Kasi marunong na sya magtalk she is asking me to prepere a party for her so that she can wear her PRINCESS COSTUME.
Ay, I would love to celebrate it but i wanted us to go somewhere kahit domestic lag kasi pareho naman ung magagastos.
what do you think?
- Nihonggo?
hahahaha wihtout my language i can’t have a good job here in the philippines
do you have plans to visit pl?
Hope to talk to you soon!

Advance happy brithday to your lil dolly. If she wishes to have a birthday party, it would be better if you command her wish =) SInce sabi mo nga pareho lang magagastos. Pero syempre, organizing/preparing a party could be stressful, chotto mendokusai desu ne, if you dont like it and you prefer out of towns, convince mo sya.. You can still have small party naman with your close relatives and friends, para masuot din nya ang princess costume nya.. Or pwedi din pa-pictorial sya sa studio..
Next month, bday din ni baby ko.. i dont think na magpaparty kami dito coz you know naman here, and besides andyan mga kids, better saved it to her binyag on dec.. uwi kami at makapag christmas dyan

Oo Nga noh!Pwede din un..
still discussing it with my husband and will let you know for any outcome.
So your daughter will turn 1 next year??i think you are very excited to see her growing.oo nga di uso dyan party boring! kahit nga pasko unlike dito sa pinas you can feel the spirit of christmas.
Share ko lang din my thoughts about my son, when he’s studying by himself,taking a shower or eating i feel like he can live without me na!
he’s only 4 but he acts like he’s not.
But still he makes lambing and stuff na nakakatuwa!
Kagabi nga he was asking us to buy him a trolly because he had a perfect score for the first periodical exam,it was really funny kasi sabi nya mas gaganahan daw sya magaral pag may trolly sya!
( what’s the connection:))
so sa december kayu balik dito?
If you don’t mind where in pl?
me i live in Makati. when i was in Japan i was living in Kameari which is a shitamachi;)
grew up there had a lot of friends and did a lot of naughty stuff.
hehehehe
