Toy Kingdom Toy Warehouse Sale 2013

This is very timely! The little girl is celebrating her 4th birthday on November and her ninangs gave her some shopping moolah! waaaah if our Nueva Ecija trip pushes thru, we have to be back by Sunday.. or else!!! hahahahaha

Here’s what you need to know about the Toy Kingdom Toy Warehouse Sale 2013

Some tips on how to have a stress free shopping during the warehouse sale:

Do not bring your kids. There’s no holding area for kids and since this is a warehouse sale (with up to 70% off promise on toys) except a lot of people.
Make a list of the things/ toys you are planning to buy.
Ready your cash, your card and your ID.
Bring your own bag, the bigger the better. It will not only help our environment but shopping would be easier too.
Wear comfy shoes and clothes and eat before you shop.. though they promise to have 20 cashiers during the sale, long lines might happen.

At dahil hindi ako BDO credit card holder.. tiis na lang hanggang Nov 3 hahaha

Our First Time Dormer Party: Sunday is Indeed a Family Day!

Natapos din ang kangaragan ko sa buwang ito! ayayay! At bago ako magkwento ng mga ganap kahapon at noong nakaraang linggo, share ko muna ang isang napakasayang salo salo kasama ang mga pinaka importanteng tao sa buhay ko…

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that we’re planning a party for our first timer dormers? O eto na, pagkatapos ng mahabang paglalakbay at pagtawid sa bundok at sa paglangoy sa dagat, dumating na ang mg sisterretes namin (obviously I was exaggerating, our province is one bus away, 3-4 hours travel time hehe)

With our budget of 2000 PhP, Red Ribbon Birthday Budget Planner gave us this breakdown:

Cake: 299 PhP
Drinks: 600.50 PhP
Food: 1200 PhP

I decided to treat them to Amber and this is what I ordered from their Shaw Boulevard branch:

Amber Pancit Malabon (good for 10) 550 PhP
20 Pcs Shanghai 160 PhP
20 Pichi Pichi 110 PhP
9 ocs Pork BBQ 180 PhP

Total of 1,000 PhP

Our cake, a Red Ribbon Dedication Chocolate Cake (junior size) for 299 PhP

Drinks was 2 bottles of soda, 120 PhP

Our total expense for this small salo salo was 1419 PhP.. ang bongga di ba? usually pag may party ako, na ooverspend ako.. this is the first party that I had where in I spent less than I am supposed to (kaya ayun, after ng party, takbo agad sa Ukay Ukay hahaha)

Here’s our first dormer and my family!

Next stop: Mahat’s 10th party 🙂

Fab Finds Friday: Darlington Socks, 3 For 100 PhP

I had a meeting at Shangrila Mall earlier and since I was in the area, decided to check out SM Kids Fashion The Great Children’s Fashion Fair at SM Megamall Megatrade Hall

Hindi ko alam kung maiinis ako or matutuwa na 150 petot lang ang dala kong cash.. nakakainis kase ang daming pwedeng bilhin!!! nakakatuwa din dahil kung may cash akong dala, eh malamang ubos un! I was tempted to send an SOS (save our shopping bag! wahaha) distress call to hubby.. he works in Ortigas..muntik na talaga! Pupuntahan ko na sana sa office para manghingi ng datung! Jusme ibang klaseng pagtitimpi ang nangyari kanina haha

Good thing, Darlington offers (as part of the sale) 3 socks for 100 PhP.. 3 socks which you can mix and match as long as the size is the same.. I need to spare 50 Pesos for my ride home (hindi ko na nga afford mag taxi! ano ba un hahaha)

Eto na ang sinasabi kong ang daming pwedeng bilhin:
