I can’t totally remember how DV looks like since I was still a kid the first time we went there and had nothing that I wanted to buy back then. Now, It’s still a very busy and jam-packed place and I scoured the place with eagerness this time as a materialistic grown-up girl, lol. And yeah, it was the first time I stepped foot at 168 Mall.

Too bad I can’t take pictures of the place since it was best not to bring any gadget or expensive stuff with you as pickpockets/snatchers are everywhere. So I took pictures of the loots I got from DV instead:

It’s 3 polo shirts which costs 180-200 PHP each, a white sling bag/handbag that costs 150 PHP. Also, not in the pic, is a pretty, shiny silver ponytail holder which I got for only 30 PHP. Very cheap huh? These are all I got for myself, the rest are for my parents.

Guess what, I never thought that I’d see there stuff being sold at SM Department stores. Next time I should check out if DV has it before SM.

Can’t wait for our next Divisoria visit!

Have you been to DV before?

To be able to use Watchpad, you need to register an account first on their website since you’ll be using it to login to the application later. You’ll be asked for an e-mail address (will also serve as your username), nickname, mobile number and a password. You’ll be needing your account number which can be found on your billing statements, and your landline number as well.

It took me some time to figure out how to install Watchpad, and I’d like to share how I did it to those who are still having a hard time installing it. The prerequisites for a successful Watchpad installation  as stated in their website are:

• .NET Framework 2 and above
• Adobe Flash Player
• Windows Media Player 9.0 or higher
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher

Make sure you have the latest flash player installed or simply download the updates from the Adobe website. You may download Windows Media Player 9.0 from here, and Internet Explorer 6.0 from here if your system has lower versions. My system already had updated versions of the three mentioned, except for the .NET Framework, which later on I downloaded from here.

Once your system has all the requirements, you may now go to PLDT Watchpad website using Internet Explorer and launch the Watchpad player (rather, installation). At this stage, installation of Watchpad will begin. Just keep on proceeding til you reach the end of installation process.

After a successful installation, you may now use Watchpad and launch it through Start menu > PLDT > PLDT Watchpad. Login using the account information you registered, and bravo! You’re now few clicks away to watching cable on your pc. Here’s a screenshot I took while watching Animax:

Pardon the blank black screen where the show I’m watching should’ve appeared.  (it seems Print Screen cannot capture image frames of videos)

I find this internet service really nice, since we’ve never had cable TV before and now I’ve availed it at no extra cost.

If you have any questions, or need assistance, feel free to leave a comment and I’ll try to help in the best way I can.

It’s my very first shoes from Pony. I used to wear Nike and Skechers since high school. Time for a change and try out other brands, I guess?

My feet are still adjusting from wearing slip-ons to sneakers. I hope this shoes will serve me well and last for more than a year or so, as soles wear out easily with my lousy walking. I still want to buy new slip-ons as an extra pair, though.

I bought a lot of major stuff in less than a month. Oh the perks of being a working girl. Earning your own money and getting to buy anything you want with it. Sweet~

And so I’ve heard of the DIRECTV, it allows users to exclusively program the channels. Isn’t that cool? Imagine how this makes watching your favorite shows a whole lot easier by being able to watch only the shows you like in your most convenient times. If only we have something like this in the Philippines then I probably would get Direct TV without thinking twice and would have subscribed to this way before. For more information just go to DirectSatTV.com, hope you find in there everything else you wanna know!

And if ever I get to go abroad, I have no plans of staying anywhere else for long. A month or week-long visit or touring will do. I am too attached with the Philippine culture to not leave this place.

What’s yours?

Don’t you agree with me that this made bingo not only more interesting, but it can also help bingo players get more familiarized with basketball terminologies? I find this really beneficial since I am one who doesn’t know much about basketball. What do you think?

But last week, I got a copy of an anime series entitled Toradora from an officemate who recommends it. The first few episodes were okay, andrI have to admit, funny. It reminded me of one of my most favorite animes of all time, School Rumble (romance/comedy). I hope the rest of the episodes will be as good, and hopefully I’d be able to revive my lost interest in anime soon.

Know any good anime you’d like to recommend? Feel free to ask me about anime or anything related to it, though I’m not an otaku I’ll try my best to answer your questions. If you’re new to anime, you can watch anime on Animax Asia. That’s all for now, happy watching!

I thought I was gonna be forever loyal to Sony Ericsson but I’m starting to like Samsung more!

I was debating with myself whether I should get one with wifi at a later date instead, but since the nature of my job is to be in front of the laptop all day… I guess having a non-wifi phone can be a good thing.

Got myself a Globe SIM too for this one, so friends who are Globe users can now text me without hesitation. I’m keeping my Smart number though.

What do you think of it?

Watch it, you’ll surely love it! Who knows, she could be your newest hero too. Here’s a link to the official trailer and the poster which I obviously pasted just for you:

A fun, female empowerment through roller derby (a violent sport, tough girls in skates) movie. Moms and daughters, girlfriends, guys who like tough girls or simply anyone who loves good movies should see this.

Ellen Page (Juno) played Bliss Cavendar (the girl in the poster above). And yeah, it’s Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut. I never liked Drew before, but her character in the film and the fact that she directed this really awesome movie changed everything.

Now a favorite. Two thumbs up!

Another thing I miss the most, is what made me get into blogging, which is web designing. I’ve been using the same layout for nearly a year. If my site has a mind of it’s own and could speak for itself, it would have demanded a new layout from me months ago. And gah, my photoshop and web designing skills are rusting. I want a new and professional web design.

Some active bloggers who are into SEO, consultancy and blogging paid posts have actually urged me to do the same. That way, I am my own boss, I manage my own time and I get to earn money and enjoy blogging and web designing at the same time. But I value the experience I could get with desk jobs, thank you very much.

Before I end this entry, I wish you all a merry Christmas! Finally I got the silver lightning bolt studs I mentioned on My Birthday Wishlist during our Christmas party, and Pax also gave me silver crown studs as his late birthday gift. I guess my Christmas will be as merry as last year since I’m spending this year’s Christmas with him again!
