This is just TOO MUCH!!

There's a saying 'Suckers are born every minute' and I believe it!

Because officially - I am one of them!!

You see, I have been eyeing this Anya Hindmarch 'I am not a plastic bag' bag. It's already sold out everywhere! I've been lurking in eBay - to find that - THERE ARE KNOCK-OFFs! What else is new, right? Well, - okay - I have looked at so many pictures that I think that I can spot a fake one from a genuine one.


There's this seller in a forum I'm part of - and she posted that she's selling one. She posted it on her site and in the site - there were 6 images. Okay - for a normal person - I think the pictures she supplied were enough - but as I learned from the expert goodguyyoung of eBay - he made a review actuallly it's not a review - it's a guide on how to spot a fake Anya Hindmarch - a buyer should ask for more pictures!

And so, I sent her an SMS to ask if she can give me more pictures, closer images of the letters - she replied to me with 'Pics? Wat m0re do u nid? Yes, its authentc' Okay - fine, I'm a skeptic when it comes to these things - but when I asked for the price - it was a whopping - Php6,500.00 approximately USD140.00! Now, that's freaking TOO MUCH already!

I know people are cashing in on the cheap Anya Hindmarch bag and since it's sold out everywhere - they're making big bucks out of the ones they got- but for Php6,500?? No freaking way!!

At least there's this seller - The Purchaser - that admittedly sells replica's - for less than Php1,000.00!

    Ohhh. Good thinking to hold off buying.

    I've got a really, really cheap version of that bag from SM. LOL! It's a green bag, with the exact label --- GREEN BAG. It's green, made of recycled materials. Kaya nga green bag. Hehe.

    I think they give this away for free at the grocery.

    It's not chic-looking though,(hay naku hindi talaga!). But I carry it around when I know I've got lotsa stuff to bring while shopping. Better than a plastic bag.

    Hello Tutubi! If it's too good to be true - then it is! Hahaha..

    Minds! I was told of that bag too! I think SM Advantage members were given the bags for free - but now, I think if you purchase a certain amount in the supermarkets - they'll give it to you for free!

    Yup, Di, SM Advantage card holder ka dapat.

    Christine Bersola has her own version rin. Maganda yung design ng bag, it's in black and grey - two tones. Kaso I don't like the design, may nakasulat ng Reuse, recycle, (isa pang R nakalimutan ko). May telephone number pa na nakatatak where to order. She sells it for P180 yata or P160.

    Hi Angel! Actually, what pisses me off are those who got the real thing, but are selling them for an outrageous price!

    Minds, you know what - I think ang nagpauso niyan was Espirt! They have this REUSABLE bag - I think they're not selling it now eh, but before about 10 years ago, nag-uso yan eh!

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a ...

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't t...

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip s...
