My Pink 3DS XL + Pokemon X

I know I'm late for all this Pokemon X/Y craze but I'm so happy I'm finally able to have my own 3DS XL. :)) I freaking tightened my budget for a month because I was really determined to play the game! I bought my 3DS XL bundle at i.TECH SM North Cyberzone branch. I was looking for gaming stores offering the  cheapest prices and luckily, i.TECH was offering bundles. This bundle consisting of the unit, any game below P1790 and accessories is worth P11,000. I think it was a pretty awesome deal since the unit itself costs around P9,500 already in DataBlitz and the Pokemon game which is P1750. The bundle kit consists of a crystal case, black pouch, an extra stylus, earphones, cartridges cases, cleaning cloth, screen guards and the 220 v charger. 

I'm also planning to order this suppperrr cute Sylveon crystal case at Amazon because it matches perfectly with the Pink 3ds XL. :))

Trip to Divisoria: 1k Budget Challenge

My mom and I had another trip to Divisoria for our holiday shopping. We had all sorts of misadventures during and after our visit there but our timing was definitely a bad one. We swore never to go to Divisoria ever again during December. Haha. The place was so busy and crowded to the point where we were pitted against each other whenever we wander through the streets. It's better to stay inside the mall for everyone's convenience and safety. 

Anyway, we limited our budget to 1000 pesos each. I'm such a cheapskate when it comes to buying my own clothes. Even if I happen to have the money to spare, I still prefer quantity over quality. xD But it's not like I buy cheap quality ones, just ones that are a lot cheaper compared to branded clothes. 

These clothes were all bought from 168 mall except for the Hello Kitty one. The items in 999 mall were a bit expensive compared to 168. Here's what I got:

P180 - denim heart print with white chiffon sleeves and back

P180 - denim floral print with lace

I'm so happy with these two! I was searching for denim printed tops but they were sold for like P200+ and since I'm so kuripot, I wanted to buy this for P150 pesos only! Haha. But it seemed impossible so I settled for P180.

P99 pesos only!

These two were such a bargain find! The quality is good and it looks more expensive than P99.

P200 - black knitted cardigan

This is perfect for the inner tops that I bought. I was so lucky I got this for P200. I saw another tiangge that was selling it for P280 each. :)) Sweet~

loose hello kitty blouse 

I got this cuuuteeee blouse at the sea of tiangges outside the malls. It's only P150 and the vendor said it's from Bangkok. :)

And some extra stuff that I got, hello kitty wet wipes (P30 only) and the royal blue nail posh that I've been searching for (P20)! :3

Next time, I'm gonna buy shoes there. There were some good platform flats and boots that are sold cheaply. 

Trip to Quiapo: Accessory and Jewelry Haven

Yesterday, My mom and I went on our 2nd trip to Quiapo to get materials and supplies for our online accessory shop. I'm not sure about Divisoria but according to what I've researched, Quiapo is known as a shopping district for ready-made accessories and raw materials. During our first visit, we were so overwhelmed or rather, I was so overwhelmed with the amount of materials available at Wellmanson. Wellmanson is quite famous on the internet because of the the wide range of items it offers. All the items are in good quality and are also inexpensively and fairly priced too. The store is also unexpectedly big inside and the ambiance is like that of a mall's; the items were arranged and organized accordingly and there were attentive clerks at almost every corner of the item rack.

There are also a lot of other good bead and accessory shop that we failed to visit during our first trip there. I forgot the other name of the shops but there is also a shop called D.I.Y and they sell cheaper supplies like beads, ring connectors, bracelet locks and pendants. 

Anyway,here's what we got at Wellmanson yesterday:

We got chains of different sizes, some dangling beads for the bracelets but majority of the items here were from other shops.

We also got these chic and cute earrings from Wellmanson. My mom personally picked them. Look at that price, P35 a pair!

These key chains/phone straps were chosen by me. I thought I'd make the cute charms as pendants for necklaces or bracelets. 

These gift items are also available at Wellmanson. Since I'm a bunny and coffee lover, I bought myself a new kawaii rabbit mug! I've also taken a liking to these cute kimono doll mascara and phone charm~  The best thing about these items is I got them all only for P197! ;))

These necklaces with fancy resin charms were from a different accessory shop.(sorry, I could not remember the name~)They might look kinda dull and boring here but they're actually pretty and shiny. We got them for less than a hundred~ ;D

I got these from the same shop. They are cute pastel kiddie beads for my fairy kei/pop kei/pastel jewelry collection. The beads are made of plastic but they look pretty nice and are at least crafted  proportionally. My favs here are the roses and ribbons! ;)

If you're also planning to buy accessories and gift items, Quiapo is the place for you but be sure to check other shops there aside from Wellmanson because sometimes there are other items that Wellmanson doesn't have and are cheaper. Enjoy shopping and crafting! ;)

Gashapon Machines at Yoshinoya

I saw these Gashapon machines when me and my family ate at Yoshinoya (SM North) earlier. *A* I never noticed those machines there before, it was probably added there when Yoshinoya re-vamped the whole restaurant's interior. Gashapon/Gachapon is a well-known trademark brand of Bandai which is popular world wide for their capsule toys. You insert a token in the machine, turn the slot and wait for your random toy to come out. Yoshinoya sells the token for P60.00 ( roughly $1.39/¥137.76) each.

My Gashapon toys are from the Hello Kitty X Masked Rider series and there are 8 designs to collect! Please excuse the quality of the pictures.. these were only taken by my phone. 

The toys are from Hello Kitty, Pokemon, Spongebob and others that I wasn't familiar with. I thought the Kitty phone straps were nice so I tried my luck on those. And on my first attempt here's what I got:

I was kinda frustrated when I saw it. It was like Hello Kitty cosplaying Bad Badtz-Maru and Cat Woman. Haha. So I tried another round and got this:

Hmm.. Not my fav among all the 8 designs but this was definitely better than the first one I got! :)) 

These are the other Kitty collectibles. So I now have Kitty #2 and #5. 6 more Kitties to go~ I definitely want that bunny kitty! *A* If you're also interested in these drop by at your nearest Yoshinoya branch now. :3
