Raisie Needs Her Drugs & Mini Haul

No, I'm not talking about any illegal drug, but one that gives some natural high and a dash of indulgence too. After a full morning running around, I just had to stop by at Planet Vegis in Pasonanca to have some fresh lumpia. But being the only customer at ten in the morning where the cook is still mopping up the place, I had to settle for something else on the go; Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino! (Yes, this is my drug.)

You might call this cheating, and I might agree at some point that it is, though I haven't made a vow to love only Kopiko whether brown, black or kopiccino. But it's cold and available so I'm saying yes and turning a blind side to its price tag (Php 130-yikes!)


So there's the drug and I'm feeling a bit pacified. For now. 


This morning's haul thanks to the Diskwento Fair of DTI in Plaza Pershing

And for the other haul, I bought 60 pieces of pencils, and 30 erasers and 10 rulers for the kids in church. They will be having the last day of Flores de Mayo and the organizers have asked some contribution from my family so my Mom decided to give them something useful, and since most of the kids are in grade school, a little help of pencils and rulers could do. 

I got them at uber discounted prices, and what's good is that there's no lining up unlike in department stores here today. Total damage? Php 2 for the plastic rulers= Php 20, Php 1.50 for each eraser and I got 30= Php 45 and Php 13 for a set of pencils and I got 5 sets= Php 65= Php 130. 

I still have to get them tiny bags where I can add some biscuits and snacks to give away tomorrow. 


Cheapo, useful, lightweight headset I needed so desperately

Another buy, is the super cheap-o but very useful Delkin headset I found yesterday. I'm not a super techie person paying close attention to specs and all. But for a price of Php 100, I shrugged it off and had to settle for this one without a microphone. It's lightweight and a plug-ready headset. Is it disposable? I have no idea. I will have to search for the answer soon. 

For now, I will be happy sipping my Mocha. 

Still have a lot to do for today.

Bidding adieu. For today.

    1. Hi Rovie, it's a mocha frappe and if you like the usual creaminess in a frappe, it could do. About the price tag, I was desperate myself and chose to take it because it was already cold. I have been running around under the heat so thought of indulging for a while. =)

    1. Talking about cheap-o this week, rulers from the DTI fair cost only Php2 each and the department stores sold theirs for Php 3. Haha, but it's an annual donation my family gives to the church for the kids attending Flores de Mayo. =)
