Christmas Shopping 2.0

Christmas is here and all too quickly at that. Seems only yesterday that we were taking down our outdoor Christmas lights and now we're putting them up again.

I love Christmas more than the average person. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year for me. But I must admit, I've grown to hate the massively frustrating traffic that has become as much a marker of the season as puto bumbong. The result is hurried Christmas shopping that more often than not yields mediocre to downright thoughtless gifts.

So, this year I'm sticking to online gift shopping. Yes, it can be a bit scary to shop online where scammers abound so I'm sticking to mainstream sites like Lazada. And as if hassle-free online shopping wasn't Christmas-sy enough, Lazada is having an incredibly wild sale from November 11 to December 12 with discounts of up to 95%.





But wait, there's more! LOL

Starting today, November 4, selected items are priced at P11. Yes, Eleven Pesos each. You can get a flash drive, a power bank, or a shoe rack for only 11 bucks.

Look out for daily announcements on lazadaph (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) at 11:11 in the morning for the items on sale for P11.

Quite thrilling, huh? Who says online shopping is boring?

Long live this Patintera

OK, for the nth time, I'm resurrecting this blog.

What can I say? You get to a certain age when you don't want to hop from one platform to another anymore and you just want to stay with one that's been there for you the longest, has all your good memories, and can still keep up with your present state of mind. Cue weird looks from the reader.

Ang totoo nito, gusto ko nang ibalik yung dahilan kung bakit ko naman talaga sinimulan ang blog na ito, at yan ay para pagyamanin ang pagsusulat ko sa wikang kinasayanan ko, ang wikang kinalakihan ko, ang wikang Tagalog. Hindi ako kasinggaling ng mga magulang ko at mga nakatatanda pero nauunawaan ko naman sila kung minsa'y napapalalim sila ng Tagalog. Nililinaw ko lang na hindi yan ang paksa ng blog ko kundi medium lamang.

Kaya tatapusin ko na itong entry para makapagsulat na tungkol sa ibang bagay.
