Have you been getting ready for the coming Christmas season?

One of the things that are important for some people is the way they look when the holidays are here. I’m sure a lot of those online discount vouchers are doing brisk business in time for the holidays.

Some of the bestsellers are the following:

• resort getaways for the coming summer and after-the-holidays no work days
• “beauty” coupons like the best eyelash enhancers, whitening, tightening, facial skin care and waxing procedures as well as dental procedures
• gadgets
• food/restaurant vouchers

These would be great gifts for your loved ones too! Just don’t give your overweight aunt those lipo-thing vouchers or she might feel insulted.

I’m using a laptop that is several years old. The cd drive is not closing properly so that means I can’t watch my DVDs anymore. The keyboard is missing a period (.) and > so I’m using a small keyboard attached to it via a usb. Yeah, I’m that miser when it comes to gadgets. Good thing the hubby got himself a new old laptop so I get to use his netbook when I go out of the house to teach.

Lately, there are so many deals on laptops maybe because more people are buying tablets and Android phones. I guess it’s time I get myself a new one. Or maybe not since my reliable old one still serves me well 🙂

Around two weeks ago,  I signed up with Cash Cash Pinoy because the site was offering a good deal: Philips music combo package consisting Philips Sound Machine and a 2gb Go Gear. The hubby and I were planning to get a Go Gear for the younger kids since our eldest child’s Go Gear is still in good condition even after 4 or 5 years since we purchased it. Yeah, we have brand loyalty because earphones she uses are also made by Philips.

The Philips package consisted of Philips CD Portable SoundMachine (Silver) + Philips GoGear Mix MP3 Player 2GB for only PhP3125.00. If I remember it right, the eldest child’s Go Gear was bought at PhP2,500.00 so I thought since we were buying another one, why not get this deal instead?

Hubby said yes and so I signed up and purchased the deal along with two more deals for a restaurant.

Hubby made an over the counter payment at a bank the next day and I immediately emailed the numbers seen in the deposit slips as per instructions. I got an email confirming my purchases.

Last week, I printed the voucher and asked the hubby if he can get the package on Tuesday at their Antel Makati office since he has to go to an office near that building. I gave him my PRC identification card but did not give him an authorization letter. So he went home empty-handed. He was promised that the package will be delivered the next day (Wednesday).

He brought the email, my ID and finally an authorization letter from me to the delivery address AKA MIL’s house early Wednesday morning.

I was there on Thursday but no package came. Sad 🙁

I emailed the site on their facebook page as well as in their official site telling them I am expecting the package because they promised delivery on a Wednesday, and it’s Friday morning already.

After a Friday lunch with my friends, I arrived at my MIL’s house with my student waiting for me AND the package waiting to be opened that has a note that says: “R_____, please prioritize”.

Yey! Finalleh!

The recipients of the Philips Music Combo were all very happy.

So what’s my next CashCash Pinoy purchase? archery supplies at stickemearchery? art supplies? ballet lessons? I’m looking at a spa deal right now because I think I may need these after the exam months.

• Insurance
• Loans
• Mortgage
• Attorney
• Credit

These five words are among the top 20 most expensive adwords.

How does one know when it is the right time to click here and click there? It depends on how these clickable links are placed in a post/article.

Some links are “accidentally” clicked because they are positioned in places where it is easy to do so. Some links just pop up and catch you by surprise.

Back to the most expensive adwords: I think these are the top expensive adwords due to so a few reasons: bad economy, overused credit cards, mortgage and loans that are not paid in proper time and too much excess that seem absurd at times considering the fragile economy.

I haven’t written a blog post about my PhP312 YSA Diamond Peel voucher which I bought through Ensogo. Ensogo is one of the many online discount voucher sellers. YSA is a chain of dermatological services clinics in Metro Manila.

My YSA Diamond Peel experience was good since I didn’t feel the service was short-changed because we only paid for a third of the original price.

I learned a few things when I claimed this service:

• Don’t wait till the last day to go. I did and there were already a lot of people who are lined up before me. I was the fifth client.
• Be early. I was early, around 10am but four others were earlier.
• Be prepared to get bored. I brought along a netbook and went online while I waited for an hour and a half for my turn.
• Be courteous. There was one client who came in around 11:30am and ranted on and on because she and her 4 other companions will have their turn around 4pm. They can’t go anywhere because they have to wait there. Turned out they had packed lunch in their car. LOL.
• Be prepared to feel a little pain, especially from the pricking. I don’t use blackhead remover so I guess the staff had a hard time removing those dirt on my big nose.

I ask if I have wrinkles and the staff who serviced me said no, I don’t have wrinkles yet. Yey! But wait! I do have some itty bitty warts starting to make themselves be seen, ugh!
