Fab Finds at the World Bazaar Festival 2012

Have you done your Christmas shopping already? If not, there are a lot of options to choose from. There is Divisoria if you really want to get value for your money. However, you need to be courageous enough to brave the overwhelming crowd there. Streets full of people, the sun's heat, and the never ending stalls of goods will break you. If you find Divisoria a hassle, you can go to various bazaars, instead. Prices there are a little too high compared to Divisoria but you won't be in a place of discomfort. 

Last weekend, my family and I checked out what's in store at the World Bazaar Festival in World Trade Center. The venue is air-conditioned and has good lighting. You need to purchase a ticket worth PhP50 to enter. There is still a crowd but it is small in comparison to the kind you will see in Divisoria.  Of course, prices vary from cheap to expensive.

Booths selling Christmas decorations greet you the moment you enter the main tent. 





The first thing we did when we got there was to eat! There is an area dedicated to food! It was hard to decide which ones to eat. Furthermore, some stalls offer free taste.

Familiar brands like Sbarro is there to serve.

Yum! This gotta be good...

More stalls for you to choose.

Korean Donuts as desserts at stall F60

Or have your own gelato.

Plus! You get serenaded as you eat. 
Then it was time to go around the bazaar for shopping! We first went around the booths selling packed food and pastries. Most of them offer free taste! On sale were noodles, rice, snacks, wine, polvoron, hopia, cupcakes, and a lot more. Uh.. did we just have dinner?

The booth of My Sweet Fairy.

Cupcakes from My Sweet Fairy.

Red Velvet Cupcake from My Sweet Fairy.
This is my fab find of all! Frubbas dried fruit at P38 per piece. Stall 240.
After the food stalls, I roamed around the place to find items and toys that were to my liking...

Caribbean Flip Flops start at PhP180. 

Hello Kitty Watches worth PhP250.

Cheap stuffed toys. Stall 429

Hello Kitty stuffed toys at PhP100.

Cute.
Booth of Manila Precious Moments. Awww...

Figurines for sale. Prices available upon request.

Love this Belle figurine. :)

Figurines for your Christmas Tree. 
That completes my bazaar journey for the day. The place was so huge that I wasn't able to visit all the booths. So far, I'm very satisfied with what I saw. Oh! If ever you would want to go there, bring a handy tote bag with you. Plastic bags are banned in Pasay City, so the stalls wrap your stuff in paper bags without a handle. 

World Bazaar Festival is until December 23, 2012. Schedule: Monday to Thursday 12NN-10PM; Friday to Sunday 10AM to 12MN.

The 2019 Starbucks SG Planner

Happy New Year, dear readers! The year 2019 comes with new wishes, new beginnings, and of course, new planners! Yay! I'm excited for all of it. The new year for me means a fresh start for all the failures I've had for the previous year. Yep, I feel ya! 2018 was kinda rough for me, too. But anyways, I'm here to share with you a tool to help us face the days ahead.  I'm sure that some of us take life as it goes along. But there are others, like me, who have a planning personality. And lemme tell ya, it's really frustrating how things don't go according to plan. Most of the time, life doesn't make it go as planned. Ugh... But fret not! Even if life foils everything, that doesn't stop us from using planners! Wheee~ They're cute and inspirational. They give us a sense of "getting our life together" , too. Hahaha~ So for this post, I'm gonna share with you the Starbucks Singapore  2019 planner!  The 2019 Starbucks Singapore Planner

Lee Min Ho Mall Tour: SM Mall of Asia Leg

I still can't believe that it was just two nights ago (November 18, 2012), I saw Lee Min Ho in the flesh! As early as 5:30PM, I was already in SM Mall of Asia Music Hall, joining the fans as we eagerly wait for his arrival. The crowd was very overwhelming. I bet some people waited there two hours earlier than I did!  Lee Min Ho is a South Korean actor. His popular dramas include Boys Over Flowers, City Hunter, and Faith among others. His prowess as an actor and his to-die-for looks are enough to make women go gaga over him -me included!  He is my favorite actor. I love his dramas. In the future, as I gain more skills, I plan to cosplay his characters, especially Johnny from City Hunter. He is the reason why I love Korean products like Etude House . Now, I have another brand to love... and it's a Filipino brand! I'm very happy that Lee Min Ho is the latest endorser of the clothing line, Bench .  Crowds make me uncomfortable. It was my first time to have ever attended

Presenting The Starbucks 2014 Planner

There are a lot of 2014 planners available out there. For this post, let me share with you the 2014 Starbucks Planner. Every December, people are talking about it! The cover and the layouts are something to look forward to, as well. For this year, it came in four colors: yellow, magenta, brown, and black. The black one is the Philippine edition ( hmmm, tempting! ). I'm very much impressed because the cover feels like leather.  I will feature the magenta one. My friend owns this. I already have a planner for 2014, owning another doesn't make sense at all. Hehehe ~ So, I decided to take some photos of it and share what's inside. (^_^) Left: the box, Right: the planner.  The cover is embossed with coffee icons and Starbucks coffee blend logos. I noticed the symbol for their coffee Sumatra and the elephant icon for Kenya. The 2014 Starbucks Planner in magenta I saw the symbol of the Starbucks coffee blend Sumatra embossed on it. Here is a really cute featur
