A Mind of My Own

Ah, shopping. Something that is bound to happen at one point or the other. The main thing is whether the money is enough. I have been bitten by the shopping bug these days. It’s really a bad way because I am going to be jobless and the money will trickle to practically NIL if I still don’t have any backups.

I have bought clothes online and still pending the arrival. Orange Bear seems to be pretty quiet on the orders. It’s unfortunate that MC’s grandmother passed away recently. There isn’t time for NL to update us on the orders yet.

I love earrings. I have too many and yet I still feel that they aren’t enough. DD shook his head about my obsession with earrings. The main reason why I started online sprees is because I hate salespersons breathing down my neck while I’m browsing through the aisles. I may not know the promotion for certain range but when I’m browsing, don’t breathe down my neck or within 1 metres as I can’t think with someone else looking at my hands as if I would still their goods. It’s not as if I can’t pay.

The downside to shopping at the shops is the squeezing of the crowded trains and buses after buying. One or two large sized shopping bags is enough to make the trip home torture when there is a huge crowd.

I have been on the hunt for the right foundation colours for years until HY mentioned that she is using mineral makeup from Pure Luxe. It stays on for hours despite her oily parts of the face. The powder stays. You can witness it when you just press the tissue paper on the face oil. Very little of the powder will come off. I haven’t done a proper review. Been meaning to until Rinaz mentioned it. I have found another makeup lover.

I hope to get some nice before and after photos to post. Shopping is a bug that I can’t get rid of.

I loved accessories, especially earrings. Thus, I decided to search for online shops that proudly display their websites. So far, I have bought once and rather happy with the purchase. The easiest way is to look through Yebber for more such shops. And boy oh boy did I hyperventilate with the vast number of such shops!

After visiting their websites, I was rather disappointed because the owners have reviewed their own stores with 5 stars. Not that it’s a bad thing but the site designs aren’t that fantastic. One of it took a long time to download all the images because the design of the site was made to display every single image of huge resolution. Ok, so I may be exaggerating a little but I have no patience if it comes to downloading the image of more than 3 seconds when using a T1 connection. T1 connection is the fastest while broadbrand is slightly slower than T1.

I can understand if it’s a dial up and the downloads are slow but T1 lei! I’m losing my track here. What I do like is that there are some with beautiful designs but with not so good design. Or I’m using Amazon’s design to compare. Tsk tsk, such high standards.

I’ll introduce some of the sites where I feel they have pretty designs and are updating their accessories.

• Beadyplace
• Hand Make My Accessories (long loading time)
• Tanoshi
• Little Miss Beadalot
• Adssentials
• Our Passion
• Princess Gadgets (huge images, may take longer to load)
• Petalthots
• Chain of Beads (rather on the high end IMO)
• My Twinkle Box (quite professionally done, you get a shopping cart too)

There’s a lot more but there is one where the domain name has expired. Perhaps the owner had decided to stop. Do note that these are owned by Singaporeans.

Anyone who buys 4D or Toto on a regular basis would queue up in front of the shops and eagerly purchase your numbers and pray that you’ll win big bucks and stop working for good. In reality, you won’t be really able to stop working for good due to the rising prices in absolutely everything. I too had high hopes in wanting to win big.

Queuing for bet is often a tedious task as you have to stand in the rain or hot sun when the line grows longer towards closing time. There is another option, online casinos. You can play various types of games like video poker, card games, video slots and more.

Worried about security? This system creates a wallet for you so that you can enjoy playing the various games available online. You even get a dedicated online poker area. Playing online has gotten easier where you get to enjoy the full range of games without leaving the comfort of your home.

Did I mention that I’m into paid blogging, blog advertising and any other ways to earn from online? I’ve always been into writing. This blog and a few others have been setup because of that. I just have too many ideas and topics to write about.

While there are many ways online to blog for money, blog advertising is one of the ways that I’m using right now. It’s just a way to give my opinion and I get paid after it has been approved. Easy, right? Want to know what sort of service I’m using? It’s Smorty. There is no minimum sum to wait for unlike other advertising services, you get paid weekly.

I have been getting paid quite promptly since I have stared using it. I’m very satisfied with the given opportunities and payout schedules. The only thing I have to do is to give my opinions here and that’s it. As long as it meets the criteria, I get paid. So, what are you waiting for? Join in the network of blogging for money now!
