THE OFF PRICE SHOW TURNS 3: LIKE FESTIVAL OF GREAT BARGAIN FINDS

Call me Miss Off Price Show addict because I have been at every of their shows all over the Philippines since day 1 because I am addicted to great bargain hunting. It's like a festival of great bargain finds! I'm a traveller too and whenever I see The Off Price Show schedules, I make it a point to be there. Call me crazy but hey, each trip is really worth making it for me! 

Last July's The Off Price Show I shopped again!

Seriously, I am not a shopaholic but I do confess that at The Off Price Show, I get to be a little more!. The shows' calendar of events are usually a great timing for me that's why! This year, I have been to Alabang just before my kid's birthday where I bought him cool gadgets from Ekotek.

What I'm expecting at the World Trade Center Tent event that started yesterday till September 28? Nothing... because everything is better than the normal sale we all are accustomed too. No expectations because you will really end up happy if you are gonna be able to experience it too like my blogger friends!  Im still drooling when I saw what my friend Azrael bought because I am a Star Wars fan!

It's day 2 today and I am so ready to go shop till I drop! Oh hey, you can get your 2 friends in too by showing this IG Video at the registration booth! See you there! It's gonna be mayhem! 

BETTER THAN SALE INDEED: THE OFF PRICE SHOW FILINVEST TENT JULY 18-20, 2014

Normally, I wouldn't go to Alabang to go shopping but this time, it's different because of The Off Price Show that's now on it's 2nd day at the Filinvest Tent, Filinvest City, Alabang. The trip was worth it all the way from Makati with my blog mate, Rey.

The moment we walked in, I went nuts over bags and I bought one of them authentic signature bags (won't mention the brand because it is a gift for a bestfriend) for a marked down price of P9,600! Yeah no BS... take your pick which one I got on these photos!

Did I say that all major credit cards are accepted here? Yup, it is and it is the perfect time to buy a well-deserved bag for yourself! 

There are so many things I got for my loved ones... I bought an Ekotab for my kiddo for a change wherein the original price used to be 5k+ but I got it for P3,999 and had the Ekotek attendants install all the games my kiddo wants! Got tons of Armani shirts for my brothers and my kiddo. Got Barbie dresses for my bestfriends' daughters.  There are so many more lifestyle brands there that i went gaga for. So if I were you, head out to The Off Price Show now! It's ongoing till tomorrow, Sunday, July 20, 2014! Shopping hours starts at 11am and ends at 9pm! 

Check out the THE OFF PRICE SHOW ADVERT so you can see what else is in store! I'm happy to have done my retail shopping experience... this time, IT IS BETTER THAN SALE INDEED! ;-)

THE BIGGEST SALE IN MANILA: THE OFF PRICE SHOW

September 28-30, 2012 at the World Trade Center tent, Pasay City, 10am - 10pm <-- That's what I marked on my calendar to remind me of the biggest off-price retail concept ever introduced in the Philippines... The Off Price Show! 

Yes, it is the biggest sale ever conceptualized and implemented in this country where shoppers no longer have to go to high end stores to own a lifestyle item with their favorite brands sewn on the label. What is also so cool is the massive price cut... up to 80% off on a wide array of lifestyle brands!!!

A few weeks ago, I learned about The Off Price Show on Facebook and Twitter and oh my, I just can't wait for these 3 days. I went cray cray (crazy) on thinking how to save/stretch my pay money up to end September so I can do my early Christmas shopping for the family. Yeah... I certainly want to avoid the Christmas rush and not to mention the jacked up prices when Christmas season starts this year. Yes, I have to go wiser because last year, it cost me a lot. 

The Off Price Show will be having big lifestyle brands on men's, ladies' and children's wear as well as foot wear, outdoor and home accessories will gather on the event to offer Manila a mix of past and current season stock up to 80% off! Brands that will be on massive sale indicated in The Off Price Show Facebook Page are Bershka, Pull & Bear, Crocs, Pacsafe, Outdoor Products, Grid-It, Hellolulu, IKEA, Brooks, Prince, Manhattan Portage, Puma, H&M, Tommy Hilfiger,Melissa, Jack & Jones, Ecko Unltd, Zoo York and Lonsdale! Now isn't this an event not to be missed?

I have already set and shared these great shopping dates with my friends... It will be really fun! Hmmm... I can already imagine myself with a new pair of Brooks running shoes, a couple new perfumes (Oh, Burberry!), a dress from H&M, Crocs for my kid and a crocs sandal for mom, and for the rest of my family, I will have to shop to death at The Off Price Show!

So mark your calendars too, my dear readers! Don't miss the biggest sale on earth! We just gotta shop! Worrying about long lines and that stocks would run out? Duh! Wonder why The Off Price Show picked the World Trade Center tent!

LIFE IN 2011

All of us strive hard to be successful in life... we go through life like it's a rat race but at times, our lifestyles can hold us back from fulfilling our dreams and reaching our goals. Seriously... it can wear us down.

me providing distraction to Bob Sinclar LOL!

Exhaustion

It is energy that is the most precious resource for driven business people like me... It is not time. Today's fast-paced living or lifestyle often depletes our energy and wears us down to the point that it is sometimes difficult to recover from. As I grow older each year, I have moments of having difficulties to better manage my energy to stay healthy.

with my best friend and photography partner Vincent Garrucho

with my best friend Melissa Chua

In this new age of all-access information, we tend to deplete our energy... our life force zapped by partaking in way too many activities which eventually leads us to unhealthy lifestyle practices in order to deal with day to day stress.  

with Jay Server of Time

Time for me is important. Energy is also for me, equally important. Time without enough energy can make this limited for us. I'd like to resolve the thoughts and stories running in my head that are driving me non-stop. It's crazy and it's taking away my focus from being present in the world I live in today with a lifestyle plan and goals that work for me. I don't want to be stuck then leave issues in my life unresolved later on. I got plans... I got dreams... I got ambitions. I don't want heavy lifestyle outpace my ability to take care of myself.

with Jay Server and Pav Parrotte of Time

I'm going to sustain a high quality of life... in the sense of living it right... gaining energy more to make full use of my time in this life. Not by money motivated by envy, greed, lust, or any of the deadly sins will I get my strength to sustain my life and go on living unlike others do. I will get and sustain my high quality of life if I make my mindset work for me and definitely not against me.

It's a Saturday night... I am tempted with the texts and calls for another night out but I'm going to be responsible of myself. 

with Bernard Anacta of Monaco Models International Philippines

with Edda Galoy and Luciano of Monaco Models International Philippines

 
I'm going to relax this night away, gain my energy to keep my companies Airgurus Ltd. Co., Time and Monaco Models International thriving and clients happy.  In return, things will fall into the right places and I will be eventually more happy and powerful to achieve my personal and professional goals. 


Whenever I have to say "No" to fast-paced lifestyle sometimes, here's one funny vain line i usually tell my friends that I'd like to share with you.... "WITH GREAT LOOKS, COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITIES"! LOL!

I never acquired you guys through material things... I acquired you through years of friendship, trust and respect and that's how it's gonna stay till the end. I treasure you guys.... Here's to a great 2011! My new year starts today (10 days before the actual Chinese New Year.... Lovelots...  Kung Hei Fat Choi from me and my family!

MORALITY AND VALUES: WHEN THEY LEFT YOU...

I'm basically going to talk about how parents taught us when we were kids, reflects the kind of person we are now as adults.

  
I'm no sinner nor saint... I'm just perhaps one of those that despite the bad elements that constantly surround us, I still stick to what I believe is good and is right, in general. At times, I find myself playing a role to people I know... making them realize that I may not be not a great example but a good warning to those on the verge of losing their moralities and values. 

Bad (not totally) versus bad can sometimes help for others to see what's up while maintaining tact and some respect. I hate that role but it seems that it has to be that way sometimes because I felt I owe it to my own parents.

  
Growing up as a kid, my parents instilled in my mind... morals and values that helped me become polite and respectful although there are times, I have to admit, that I lose it sometimes... especially when push comes to shove. However, my parents did let me know that integrity and trust can go a long way when it comes to good character. They modeled the behavior that they want us, their kids in the family to display... holding us accountable for our actions and value honesty and integrity. They instilled morals that I would say, assisted us to become men and women with strong characters.

Our parents taught us some valuable things in life that I won't ever forget and which I will instill in the minds of my own children someday. I'm very lucky to have such good parents and here are some things I've learned:

• That a person whom others trust and who does what he/she says do earn the respect of others by his actions... integrity and trust can really do come a long way.

• That winning isn't everything...  whether we lose or win a game, what matters most is that we understand the value of good sportsmanship.

• That we are accountable for our own actions.... unwise decisions and improper behavior have future consequences.

• That there are some things in life that can be addicting and has the potentials to take over our lives.

• That others take offense in foul languages.

• That money isn't everything that makes the world go round... It is greed and power... power corrupts peace and harmony.

• That there are some things in life that can't be bought and buy you real happiness... that superficial things can go away faster before you even realize it.

• That we should learn to hold dear what's worth it... like true friendships / relationships... know which one is real and which ones are the fair-weather-friends (people who are there when you have money or things that interest them but those who will not be there to pick you up when you fall).

• That either you get to be outsmarted or be the one to walk away from pathetic things or situations that will go nowhere.

• That unproductive people... people who got used in spoon-feeding... people who just wait for money to come easy and not working hard for it are just a waste of time, money and effort.

• That wealth acquired through an insecure lifestyle and that is marred by uncertainty, instability and excessive efforts is no wealth at all. 

• That it is easy to hate and it is difficult to love.... all good things are difficult to achieve and the bad things are easy to get... just as it is hard to let go of good things but easy to let go of the bad things.

• That we should learn to appreciate, be contented and be thankful for what we have... smiling at the little blessings we get each day. 

• That patience is a virtue.

• That the acts of this life will be the destiny of the next.

   
There are so many things that my parents instilled in my mind. Sometimes I break them, sometimes I don't or, I only realize it later on... which is still good than not having to remember them. I've been through a lot in my life but with what my parents taught me, I remain a good person as a whole. 

Today,  I get it really ...looking at other people how they waste their lives, I realized how important it is for parents to take some time to instill morality and values to the young.  

  
To sum this all up, my parents did raise me well. I have cheated on my fears.... I have broken up with my doubts and got engaged to my faith. Now, with my moralities and values intact, I'm going to marry my dreams.

To mommy and daddy.... I love you both and thank you! Thanks also to Cody, Maxine and Felisa for being such great models for this blog... including myself LOL!
