X’Mas-Too Early?

Posted by Man-D on Aug 24, 2010 in Festive Season, My Interest, My Life, UnPretentiousMe, Vacation

I know, this is way too early to post about Christmas (Hari Raya pun blm sampai…lol). But I can’t help it. I’m too excited to do my Christmas shopping this year in Philippines. Ya ya ya… been there every year and this is my 4th visit there. What can I say, I love Philipines… ;p Will be going there again this November with a bunch of crazy friends (not to mention, kuat makan too… ha ha ha).

I love…giving and receiving gifts. I am always excited in giving out gifts but I never have a night before christmas experience gift as the gifts were always opened after Christmas Day (last year sampi New Year baru buka). But this year, I will make sure that the gifs will be opened on Christmas Day. Yeahhh! 

Back to our trip to Philippines. Well, we just want to feel the Christmas mood again as I don’t think for the last few years we can feel the Christmas spirits here *sigh*. However, in the Philippines, it never seems to be a surprise to see decorated homes and shops for the Christmas holidays as early as September. The country lights up with the coming home of its citizens abroad (Balik bayans), the shops are full, sales are going on, everybody is inviting you to their Christmas party, every night there are fireworks (competition among municipalities), Christmas songs everywhere, people already wishing you a merry Christmas and you are in the Christmas mood for three months. Gosh, I can feel the Christmas mood in me now.

Can’t wait for Christmas!!! ;) and looking forward for the trip too… shopping time… lol 

 

P/S Mel, you are going to miss the Mindoro Sling ;p

Countdown to Christmas

Posted by Man-D on Dec 16, 2009 in Baking, Festive Season, Me Family, My Life, UnPretentiousMe

It’s only nine days till Christmas now! Unfortunately, I haven’t purchased any of my Christmas presents yet. I have absolutely no idea what to get for my family. I think I’d better start thinking of things to buy, as there’s only one weekend left. OK, nope! I’m not use to do that. Normally I will just go to the shopping malls, see something that I think is suitable for them, then only I will buy it!

But come to think of it, maybe I should make a list of things to buy for them. A shirt for dad (like always?… hmmm), anti wrinkle treatment product for mum (maybe I should buy one for myself too)… errr, any ideas what to give to a brother and sister? *sigh*… it’s so hard when you have only a few days to shop before the big day.

Well, I’m going to be very busy a few days before Christmas! YES, baking cakes! Thanks for the orders guys! Extra $$$ for Christmas (ganti balik tu duit yang habis time) shopping.

Bah, Merry Christmas to you all.

Christmas Cake - Order NOW!

Posted by Man-D on Dec 1, 2009 in Cheesecake, Festive Season, My Interest, UnPretentiousMe

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells… Jingle all the way… Oh, what fun it is to ride… In a one horse open sleigh… Hey!!! Wow, it’s December already. Can’t wait to start my Christmas shopping when I come back to KK this 20th… such a rush! Need to do some packing now and send all the things back to KK using shipping boxes (bas Tung Ma… lol). Can’t bring all the things using sis’ small Kelisa (sian nanti si MiMi patah kaki) ;)

Oh, by the way, since Christmas is soon approaching and if you are looking for a Christmas cake, perhaps something different this year than the same old fruit cake or chocolate sponge cake. You have come to the right place. Why not try a cake made from cheese instead?

Place your order now! ~ 9” cake comes with 3 types of flavors (chocolate, peach, lemon) to choose from and is priced at RM65!!! Write in to luvman_d@yahoo.com to place your order!!!

SHOPaholic…Not really

Posted by Man-D on Oct 22, 2008 in Uncategorized

Yes, I love shopping but that doesn’t make me shopaholic. I think! A shopaholic is a person that loves shopping, and might even be addicted to it. Just as an alcoholic craves the next drink, a fat person obsessed with best diet pills, a SHOPAHOLIC craves the next purchase.

Are you a shopaholic or just a good customer? Let’s see :

1. Do you go shopping to cheer yourself up?
    ->> Yes, definitely!

2. Do you frequently get into debt as a result of your shopping sprees?
    ->> errr…sometimes or perhaps most of the time..lol

3. Do you often buy things you will never use?
    ->> yeah, especially when it comes to CUTE things

4. Have you tried to change your behaviour and failed?
    ->> I change when I have no $$$ left…LMAO

5. Do you think your life would improve if you stopped shopping so much?
    ->> Nope.. I tend to waste my money on other things…hehehe

Wow… it makes me look like a shopaholic eh! No…No…that couldnt be…arghhh! But I do shop to release stress and tension which definitely the best way to have a few moments of good mood ;) By the way, I just can’t wait to do my shopping in December. Yes, it’s Christmas and it is a time to give, a time to SPEND!

 

P/S Mandy in Christmas mood already… I’m sure Christmas this year would be extra special ;)
