10.11.10

War zone that is Ebay.

I only had 4 hours of sleep today, as usual. My day usually starts with me ending my night work (at around 7am), tending my online store, replying to emails and queries, texting a lot of people about a lot of things. After all that, I can doze off. I usually put my phone into silent mode 'coz a slight buzz, or ring or text could easily jolt me and wake me up forever.

Yesterday, I slept late (around 11am). Even if my phone is in silent mode, sometimes subconsciously, I could still feel it when people text me and that wakes me up too. That's what happened. Arrrgh. I couldn't go back to sleep anymore 'coz I had to run to the nearest thrift shop to buy clothes that I could use for our weekend shoots. Got all dizzy looking for interesting workable pieces in a shop in Cubao where there are about hundreds of clothes rack, all mixed up, where all of the clothes were squeezed into racks til there are no spaces anymore to even move the hangers an inch sideways. It was total chaos. I tried to look for a nice bell bottom pants but failed. I cannot go over all 10 racks of ladies' pants.  Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit. To make the long story short, I still left with 1 big bag of clothes. Still scored. Lol. I tried to do all the searching and buying in less than 2 hours--coz I had to check the items I was bidding on in Ebay! Got glued for hours. Lol. 

Without further ado... here are some of the items I snatched from persistent co-bidders. Nothing beats the mixed feeling of triumph and then realizing you still have to pay for it. Haha.


Escada animal print oversized cardi

 Marc Jacobs cardi

 Marc jacobs coat

Can't hardly wait to finally wear them! :) Especially now that it's a little colder. And here's something that made me drool for like an hour--coz it's too pretty but I can't ever buy it.

 
Chanel escapade 2006. So pretty. I die. And it has the Eiffel Tower--perfection. 

Oh, but there's one thing I got that I didn't pay for! Won this cute peach oversized tee via Chictopia's chic rewards! Yipee.


So that's it. Just sharing what I've been up to today. Shopping. Blech.

  5. Haha, I used to love bidding wars on eBay. But I realized that I end up buying a lot of stuff I don't really wear just so I can win over someone. :P
