I am currently thinking of reviving my sales career, and one of the things that is essential in doing so, is for me to invest in a laptop. While we do have a laptop at home, which is Read more…

I first saw AyosDito.Ph when I read a post from a blogger friend who was raving about the said site. Naturally, I became curious, so checked it out. It was much later on that I began to appreciate the said site, long after I got suspended from eBay (from the sheer mistake of merging my old eBay ID to that of the new – I made another one because I got married and wanted to change everything.).  Anyway, the first time I was able to really utilize the site was when I had to search for furnished apartment for rent in Manila for my aunt who was then vacationing from the US. The site is very user friendly, organized and easy on the eyes. Add to that the fact that the images are loading in my office computer.

The transaction was smooth and the person who placed the ad is very accommodating. I could attribute that to chance or luck, but the rave reviews that I got to read from forums is a good benchmark to say that the site has a good following and that most sellers are decent and easy to negotiate. Although it will of course be better if they can come up with the rating system for buyers and sellers, like another site. Read more…

I’ve been having knee pains as of late, and this may due to the fact that I’ve been wearing boots with 2 inch hills for most of the time. And since I’m 30lbs heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight, then perhaps that’s the reason for the knee pains. So I figured I should switch to flats for now. I’m trying to look for good shoes online and found these really cool summer shoes, they’re called algeria shoes. I don’t think it’s available here in Manila, and well quite frankly I won’t be able to use it much in the office. But they’re  sure damn cute!

I used to frequent eBay.ph and for a time, got hooked on online shopping. That was during the time I was pregnant and with the low priced, pre-owned items like onesies, booties and so many other stuff for babies, I got addicted for a while. Not until I made a silly mistake of switching to my old email address which was registered under my maiden name profile in eBay. That started all the problem, my profile got suspended. I understand that they have to be strict to protect their members, but it was just way too surreal and tedious to go through the process of lifting the suspension. I had to go through a series of verification which involved sending my documents to their office in Singapore. So that was the end of eBay for me.

Since the internet is such a great resource, I came across OLX.com.ph and Ayosdito.ph. I prefer AyosDito.Ph simply because the people frequenting the site seems to be more courteous, in OLX it was the opposite. You’d see really below the belt comments. Too bad though, since OLX’s site is also very easy to navigate. Anyway, if you’re on the look out for quality pre-owned/brand new items for sale, AyosDito.ph is a great site to check out. Lots of listings for real estate, quality pre-owned cars (I just hope that there would soon be ads for cheap auto insurance rate), appliances and mobile phones. And what’s best is that they also have promos for sellers, and I know that it’s for real because I met the winner of the laptop that they raffled last year.

Black Friday is a much awaited event in the United States, which signals the start of the holiday shopping. And to start it off with a bang, Black Friday is a time when almost all items are marked down. And of course, American or not, anyone who’d see a tag with a 50% off sign will go into a shopping frenzy! Incidentally, the world of online shopping is also catching up. Of course the world wide web will not be left behind, as such buy.com is offering the Cyber Monday. Curious about the fabulous deals they have to offer? Well, I suggest you click on the link right there.

I remember a friend of mine bought a foosball table for almost PhP13,000, which is roughly $250 – $300, depending on the exchange rate. I wanted the same thing at home, since it’s a good gaming piece, especially when you are entertaining a bunch of people. I came across a really nice deal at buy.com, they are currently offering foosball tables for only $95.99, which is not even PhP5,000. If only they could also offer free shipping here in the Philippines, that would indeed be a great buy.

It’s such a nuisance to open my gmail account these days because of a lot of email alerts coming from Multiply. The said site has evolved into something like ebay, it became a virtual market place. There’s too much emails from sellers looking for suppliers and for people to share their booth space now that the holidays are coming and bazaars are being held left and right. Others are sending messages to inform the rest of the netizens in Multiply about various products like perfumes, rapid weight loss pills, whitening products and so much more. While some are interesting and at some point may be valuable info, I just hope there is a way to consolidate the emails, like send all emails in a day in just one, to avoid much clutter in the inbox. If you have the same predicament, hope you can help me out giving feedback to the admins of the said site.

In the past, having an affordable pair of eyeglasses almost always translates to ending up with a pair that is low-quality and rather plain looking. A bothersome effect of owning such pair, is looking like a drab or looking so much older than your years, which no one wants of course. If you want a highly durable pair, that is also trendy, it is tantamount to spending big bucks of cash or allotting quite a reasonable portion of your credit card’s limit to afford such a pair. That may be okay, but with the global economic crisis catching up on most of us, you have to admit that almost everyone is trying to save and looking for great deals. As such, Zenni Optical comes to the rescue of people who wears glasses who wants to save but does not want to compromise quality and style. Their pairs are priced as low as $8, which is probably the reason why most online shoppers ranks Zenni Optical as The #1 online Rx glasses store of their choice.

Please see Eric’s Review of Zenni Optical to find out why people are raving about this store. It is an unbiased review of their service together with a clear explanation of why the said store is capable of offering such rates. But to cut it short the store is capable of offering such rates simply because they do not offer designer frames. Nonetheless, their frames are equally trendy and fashionable. At the same time, their rates are very competitive because the glasses are manufactured from China. Although rest assured that the quality is just the same. The anti-glare coating is also priced competitively at $4.95, where as locally, you will be charged somewhere around $50-$100 for that. The trade off is only the turn around time and this is reasonable for the price. For the Lowest Price Progressive Glasses, don’t forget to go to Zenni Optical.
