Tips for Online Shopping

If you hate the crowded environment of shopping malls and department stores or maybe you're just plain lazy, and need to buy something, yet you don't want to spend too much money, I suggest you give online shopping a go. I've only tried online shopping twice. Both times, I was quite satisfied. Do I need to tell you what I bought? No, of course not. why would you care if I bought toys and video games online? oops.

Anyway, If you're new to online shopping, here are a few tips based from my experience. Mind you, this is mostly applicable to those of you who use Sulit.com.ph.But try and use it on any other time you're buying stuff online from some stranger.

1. Make sure the price is right. For instance, you're buying second hand video games for your PlayStation2. The seller is pricing his goods for 400 a piece, but the games were submerged in floodwater. Meaning, The case has been water damaged and does not at all look good. But he claims the games still play. If it were me, I would not buy it for 400. I'd buy it for a 100, which I believe is a fair price since the game might've gotten more damage than the seller thought. 
2. Haggle. In layman's terms, "tawad". The whole point of online shopping is to get things cheap. Sometimes, sellers are willing to go down. If they're selling an item for 400, try and bring it down to as low as the seller is willing to go. Don't try to ask for a very low price because the seller might get insulted and not go down at all. Remember, Be courteous when talking to sellers. Respect begets respect.
3. Meet Ups over Shipping. When buying items online, I suggest you go for meet ups rather than shipping. Because a.) it's cheaper. because with shipping, the seller might ask you to pay for the shipping fee. That's additional money out of your pocket. and b.) With meet ups, you can actually see the condition of the item before you pay for it, and it will be a chance for you to see your seller in person. 
4. Location. Location. Location. you will want to have meet ups as close to your place as possible to avoid spending too much on transportation fees. The Seller will be thinking the same. So if you're looking for items online, look for sellers that are around your neighborhood. Because if you found a good deal, but you live in QC, and your seller wants to have meet ups in SM Marilao, well you're better off finding the same item somewhere else.
5. Ask for a Warranty. If you have doubts about the functionality of your purchased item, you can always ask the seller for a warranty. When I bought my games, the seller agreed to give me a one week warranty. This will be your chance to test out the item. And with the warranty, you and your seller could work something out if the item breaks or something. 
6. Repeat. Do it all over again the next time you go on to sulit.com.ph. 

Well, there you have it. I hope that my tips will help those who want to give online shopping a go. If you have any other tips that I might have missed out, feel free to leave them in the comments section. Cheers Readers! and Happy Shopping!

When I'm With You

This song is dedicated to the one and only who made me cry and is now the reason I scream in my sleep at night. :D Cheers!

Don't Leave Me

I went upstairs to play with my PlayStation. My pop was playing Silent Hill 3, so I let him play. After a while, he left saying he was tired. So I went in and took over.

I took out the SH3 DVD and put in my Tony Hawk: Pro Skater 3. For some reason, the system keeps hanging. At first I thought it was nothing. So I tried a different game. I put in my Gran Turismo. The same thing. i can't even play the game itself.

My PlayStation was freezing up. It reads my games, but then freezes in the middle of the credits before the title screen appears. What the Hell is going on? I stop playing for one day and this happened. I shouldn't suspect my pop, but... What did he do? He was the last one playing with it before it became like this... hmm...

I'll try and open up the PS2 when I'm not busy.. maybe after all this Finals stuff.. I hope I don't spend my Sem Break without it.

LSS: Till There Was You- The Beatles

There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No I never heard them at all
Till there was you

There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No I never saw them at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you

Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows of dawn and dew

There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you

Sung by Paul McCartney. I've been playing this on iTunes on repeat for the past hour or so, and before that, it was playing in my head over and over. Listen to the song. I encourage you to do so. :)

Grow up!

I feel aggressive right now. Like... I can take on the entire world and pin it down to the count of the referee. 1...... I feel like I can put my troubles in a sleeper hold, and watch it as it struggles for air. 2..... It starts to grow tired as it slowly turns red from lack of oxygen..... 3....... It has stopped moving. I let go and the referee announces me the winner!

I wish conquering our troubles were as easy as putting them in a head lock. But it's not. It's not always about the strength, it's sometimes about how good you are in manipulating the enemy and conquering them in the end. We not only need physical strength, but Great minds as well.

But this post isn't about that. It's about me wanting to wrestle someone out of sheer agitation. I'm frustrated for reasons I don't know. All i really know is that I want to fight! I must have had too much sugar again.

But have you experienced being wrestled? I did. When I was in grade school, I'll admit, I was quite the tomboy. I used to play wrestling with the other boys. I used to put them in head locks and they'd put me in one too... Those were great times.... those were times where we did what we wanted, when we wanted and didn't give a fuck about what the others thought. My friends were happy. I was happy. Funny, I forgot about that until now....

A lot of people say that when they were kids, they wanted to grow up so bad. And now, as young adults, they all wish they were kids again. Me? I cried when I hit puberty. I didn't want to grow up. I guess part of me knew how hard it was going to be when I became an adult. I wanted to be a kid forever.

But alas, we all have to grow up. I've grown up. I still hate it. But I'm still happy I'm alive for as long as this. I'm turning into an adult. I have to make some serious decisions soon, like if I'm going to move out of my parents' house, or getting married, or if i have to sell my Play Station....

All of this growing up...... I just... I just wish I could wrestle it. If I can just wrestle with growing up just as I did when I was a kid. I would kick growing up's butt and prove to everyone that I'm stll a kid deep down... A kid trapped in a grown up's body.

Everyone has a kid in them. It's just a matter of letting that kid out once in a while. We all need to feel young. And when we do, we feel better about ourselves. We feel refreshed, like we actually are kids again. I like that feeling. I want to feel that always.

I guess what I'm saying is, We are all destined to grow old. But It's our choice whether we want to Grow the f*** up!
