Curbside Stories

I got these cook books from my Kris Kringle monita. Cook book is actually in my wish list this Christmas. Wishes do come true! Woot woot!

  I am dying to have this Photojojo Phone Lens Series! This set contains three types of lenses--telephoto, fisheye, wide and macro--that fits in most phones. I have an iPhone 4S and these lenses would be great to capture life's precious moments! The set costs $49 + shipping. I suggest you buy the set for you to save because I bet you'll go gaga taking pictures using any of the lenses that you'll end up buying the rest. Dear Photojojo, I do hope you'll send me a sample of any of your lenses (but I prefer the wide and macro lens). I swear I will be your number 1 Photojojo advocate in the Philippines! Photojojo Phone Lens Series at the Photojojo Store!  

I will turn a year older in just a few weeks and I am already making plans on how to celebrate it. My initial plan is to celebrate my son's birthday on my birthday since his falls on a weekday and mine is on a weekend. I am excited already. I am not going to have a big bash, I just wanted to celebrate it with my loved ones. And since it is my birthday, I think I deserve to at least make my very own birthday wishlist. I love reading books and one of the books I would like to have is the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series . I went to the bookstore yesterday but they do not have a stock. So, hopefully before this month ends, I can get my very own copy. You see, I would like to go back to being a child every once in a while. =) This is a weird item to have on a birthday but I love to cook so if I get a new cookware set , it would be highly appreciated. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue is my most favorite perfume of all time. A refill would be nice. Haha! I have been using ...

Ho! Ho! Ho!  It's 29 days before Christmas and you better load up and stock up on gifts for your loved ones.  Found these items at Anthropologie that are so cute... you would think twice about giving them as gifts after buying them.

I am a sound sleeper.  I sleep early and wake up late on a weekend and wake up 1 hour before my work time on weekdays.  I went to the mall a few days ago and since then I've been insomniac.  I know what caused it--this Samsung S5620 also known as Monte.  It has a touch screen mobile phone with 3.6 Mbps HSDPA, 3 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi (woohoo!), 2.1 Bluetooth, secondary video call camera and office document reader.  If I can't have Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 , this buddy would be my next best option.  What I love about its many features is the Wi-Fi... meaning you can abuse coffee shop or restaurant internet connections using this cellphone.  Oh, the office document viewer is not bad also... I need it to keep track of my freelance works.  This buddy sells between 9,000 to 10,000 in the Philippines--way cheaper compared to the Xperia X10.  I went back to the mall yesterday to cure my insomnia but they do not have a stock.  I still have to...

Can I include the Sephora Makeup Palette  in my Christmas Wish List?  This palette is packed with 36 powder eyeshadows , 12 lip colors , 3 powder blushes , and a bronzer --you can create unlimited number of looks with this!  The set's actual value is $120 but Sephora only sells this for $24. If you want something to buy for your friend, your sister or your mom, this is it... but once you grab hold of this, you might just keep it for yourself.

One of my New Year's resolutions is to save (more), it is hard but this is something that I would definitely commit myself into.  I needed a little bit more motivation to do this and I discovered something that would add a little excitement about saving for the rainy days.  I was browsing Avon 's catalog (Philippines) for December and I stumbled upon this Digital Coin Counting Money Jar that sells for Php499.  This device actually counts coins from 0.25 cents, 1.00 peso and 5.00 pesos.  This coin jar operates on two AA batteries and it displays the amount inside on an LCD.  How nice! This jar is also available in avon.com and you may choose the cheaper version for $9.99 or the one with control buttons for $14.99. I searched on where else you can buy this amazing product and I have found these sites for you to compare prices: ebay.com  makemorecents.com  shopping.com  amazon.com sears.com  target.com If you want to teach your k...

Wow!  Less than three weeks left before we bid goodbye to 2009 and welcome 2010.  Everyone has done their wish list.  Who doesn't want to receive something that  you really like?!  When I was a child, my mom and dad used to ask me what I want for Christmas and although I have the most absurd wish, they give me the closest thing to it. Technology fascinates me--from cellphones to computer and to just about anything that technology has to offer.  Although I do not have the latest gadgets, I always try to update my knowledge of the latest innovations from time to time.  I also love to read.  My fascination for technology and reading brought me to Kindle Wireless Reading Device. This device is sleek (just over 1/3 of an inch), weighs just about a typical paper back (10.2 ounces).  This lean but mean device can hold up to 1,500 books--that's a lot for a bookworm to handle.  You may order books on-line and you don't even need a computer t...
