Bukod sa softfrinks at Cinema One, ang isa pa sa mga bisyo ko ay ang pag-mmall. Nang minsan ngang nagbiro ang kaibigan ko na baka naman hanggang Robinsons Place Sta.Rosa Laguna eh nakakarating na ako… nagulat sya nung sinabi kong nakarating na nga ako dun. Ganun ako ka-adik sa pagma-mall. Hindi naman para tumambay sa foodcourt pero para mag-window shopping.

At dahil sa madalas kong mag-malling, nagkaroon ako ng obserbasyon tungkol sa mga tao habang sila ay namimili: na hindi sila nagtatagal sa loob ng isang boutique nang mahigit sa isang minuto.

Una, mare-realize nila na mahal ang presyo. Wala silang pambili.

Pwedeng mabaho sa loob sa boutique. Tulad nalang sa All Flip-Flops na amoy goma sa loob.

At ang pinaka-dahilan ng lahat, sumusunod yung saleslady sa bawat galaw mo. Sa totoo lang, bwisit na bwisit ako kapag nakabuntot sa akin yung saleslady. Pero ipokrita ako dahil naiinis din ako pag hindi nila ako pinapansin na para bang wala akong pambili.

(At para sa mga nakaka-relate, meron akong tip. Kung ayaw nyong ma-feel awkward habang nakasunod ang saleslady tapos nakita mong sobrang mahal ng mga presyo, wag kang mag-panic. Magtanong ka lang kung may ibang kulay yung dinampot mong item. Yung tipong mga out of this world na kulay – periwinkle, vermilion, turquoise, ganun. Tapos pag sinabi ng saleslady na “wala”, saka ka mag-thank you at umalis. Lol.)

To all emo girls out there, have you ever borrowed your boyfriend’s shirt and put it on your own bed pillow? Or have you been hugging your pillows as if they are your dream boy? If you secretly answered YES to any of these questions, pwes… ang BADUY MO!

Pero wala nang mas babaduy pa dito…

The Edward Cullen Manllow! The Man Pillow.

Hug him, talk to him, cry on his shoulders or even worse, make love to him through the night. Yak. Hahaha. This is the perfect keepsake for twihards especially that Eclipse will be shown in a couple of weeks. The Pillow looks like an alien though. Hah.

Hey Leyn,

I’m an avid reader of your blog, i love it. But before i get carried away by spilling how frequent i visit your page, here’s my query:

I’m sure that you heard about Jejemons (people who type like this: “EoW PoW UzTaH Na pOw kAyO? jEje”), how the virus spread in text messages, in friendster, and now thy are currently plaguing Facebook.

I hate Jejenism. I mean, the way they type really annoys me and I fear that one day lahat ng Pinoy ay maging jejemons na. We haters are called Jejebusters, seriously, you could look it up at urbandict.com. We do not want violence pero sila kasi ang ayaw magpadaan sa maayos na usapan.

Anyways, I just hope to get your comment on this issue. I really love your blog and more power!

Love,
~Hush

OMFG. I know the term Jejemons, but Jejenism and Jejebusters?! Too much! LOL! Eto bigla pumasok sa isip ko…

But kidding aside, the Jejemons are so 2002; way before Nokia 5110, Ragnarok and Friendster started. The label just became popular lately because everyone’s making a big deal out of it, even celebrities and on Yahoo! news. But personally speaking, I don’t want to pick on them because I’m over it. And I hope everyone does.

Pero aminin nyo, kung wala ang mga so-called Jejemons edi wala kayong pinag-ttripan ngayon. Kaya may silbi din naman sila. Don’t worry, hindi naman aabot sa “violence” ang jejenism (WTF?!) as you were worrying about. Just don’t take them seriously. And one more thing, I think it takes talent to be a Jejemon. Mahirap mag-sticky caps and weird spelling ah! Even google corrected me with this one…

Zee! i t0Ld u!

Some people are asking me for tips on how to tell a pirated designer bag from a real one. I don’t own a dozen of different designer bags so I’m not in the place to lecture everyone on how to spot fake brands in detail. But some factors are evident with regards to these things, like authentic bags cost at least 30k, original brands usually have dust bags and some Louis Vuittons don’t get damaged when you lit a lighter on it.

IMO, I’m not in favor of using replica bags. Nakakahiya. Especially if you’re with people who can recognize a fake Chanel logo or the correct font of Coach. Even the proper threading of Louis Vuitton or leather quality of Prada. I think it’s even better to use local brands or native bags instead of patronizing replicates. So don’t be fooled if someone offers you designer bags in cheaper price and insists that they’re authentic. All you need is a bit of research, visit the designer stores and save money for the dear price.

And please, authentic Prada doesn’t cost 899.75.
