Fab Finds in Divisoria Part 2

Last Saturday, i went back to Divisoria to buy some stuff for our team christmas party (that's my reason to hubby para payagan nya ko *grin*).

Di pa ko nakakarating ng Divisoria, feel na feel ko na ang Christmas, why?
1. I leave the house at 9am and arrive in Divisoria at 12nn because of chaotic traffic.
2. Streets going to Divisoria are almost close because of some vendors putting their goods in the street na halos wala ng makadaan na sasakyan..
3. Hearing christmas songs around and in the bus.

Going to Divisoria this time is really tiring kasi sobrang dami na ng tao, not to mention na sumabay pa yung sahod. People are buying stuff for christmas kaya kahit saang part ng Divisoria pumunta, ibang level talaga ang dami ng tao. Anyway, i went alone and bought the things needed for our party like disposable utensils, paper plates and the requested Angry Birds Character Balloons.

After buying all those, i headed to 168 mall to eat and buy some personal stuff. Here are some items that i bought:

Abercrombie Fitch Polo Shirt for Hubby (From P280 to P250)

When i make paalam to hubby that im going to Divisoria, he requested for 2 polo shirts that he can wear at his office so i have to look for nice and soft fabric polo shirt for him. Maarte kasi yun kaya dapat mall quality ang tela para magustuhan nya. Eto lang ang nakita ko na maganda sa paningin ko kaya isa lang ang nabili ko for him.

Printed Blouse for me (From P380 to P350)

2 for P150 shirt for the yayabels..

Christmas gift ko na sa knila. #tipidmode

Another 2 for P150

The black blouse is for me (akalain mo yun may nagkasya sken na worth P75). Im thinking pa where to give the Red stripes..

Leggings for Tami at P65.00

Another set of Accessories

Actually i bought this for my cousins in the US but 2GO courier didn't accept this on the package (will tell on my next post) so sakin na lang..

Hair accessories for Tami..

I forgot how much this costs. Im not sure if its P55, P50 or P45 each nadaanan ko lang kasi while going to 3rd floor of 168 mall.

Kiamoy and Prunes

I love Chinese delicacies and when i saw a chinese store with this, i bought 100 grams each..

I also bought gifts for my teammates but i will not post the photos here kasi makikita nila... They're one of my avid readers... Pinagtyatyagaan nilang basahin ang blog na to kahit barok ang english.. haha

Im having fun going around Divisoria. Siguro kung malapit lang ako malamang every weekend nandun ako at laging bago ang office clothes ko :)

Kelan kaya makabalik?

Party Favors in Divisoria Mall

Due to some emergency, my in-laws wasn't able to accompany me in Divisoria so i went to Divisoria alone with PhP4,500 with me and my coin purse. My main agenda is to buy tokens and giveaways for Tami's birthday. I headed to Divisoria Mall basement area as instructed by my officemates/friends where almost all party needs are being sold. It is my first time in that area and my eyes feasted on the colorful things and for a while I was mental blocked for I did not know where to start! Thank God I was able to regain my focus and I look for the things I needed which is banner, toys and other things for the lootbags.

Merchandise in the basement area of Divi Mall.

I thought that Mickey/Minnie Mouse things are so easy to find and boy i was wrong! The things i saw are mostly Ben10, Spongebob, Princess etc. Hay.. if only i can changed the theme that time.

I almost stayed in that area for almost 3 hours! Can you imagine that?

The loots

 All these things that i bought are good for 30 kids lootbags, i will buy additional toys for the game prizes and for the pabitin and candies in the mall. I saw lots of candies but i dont want to buy candies there for some reasons. Mahirap na baka japeks din ang mga candies dun. hehe

I also looked for nice paper bags where i will put all those tokens but all are common so i remember the do-it-your-own loot bags that i saw in the net so i looked for some materials and it lead me to Sto. Cristo street in Divisoria. Naligaw pa ko dito. Buti na lang helpful yung ibang tao dun.

Then i headed next to 168 Mall to eat my lunch on the 3rd floor of 168 mall. I chose none other than Tokyo Tokyo! hehe

My lunch from Tokyo-Tokyo..

After i ate lunch, i went to the Pay Restroom to pee and clean my feet from all the mud from the streets going to Divi Mall. My feet is so dugyot! haha

P10.00 for the Pay Restroom..

So for those who want to pee on the clean toilet and no more falling in line. This is the answer! hehe

After cleaning my feet and feel refreshed, i walked around the 168 mall and bought some fab items.

Shorts for Hubby

Bad trip tong shorts na to! I bought this nice shorts at P550.00 but when i go to the other side of the 3rd floor, i saw this on sale at 50% off. Paksh*t! Sayang yung P200.00.. Tsk. Tsk.

Kids Leggings for Tami..

I bought this 2pcs for only P150.00 because tami's size is large. If your kid's size is small or medium, the price of this is P50.00 each.

Office Blouse for me P380.00

Is it nice?

Undies for Tami at P10.00 each.

After buying some stuff for ourselves and as much as i want to buy more office blouses for me, wala na kong choice kundi umuwi kasi wala na kong pera... Poor me :(

I arrived home with only coins left in my pocket...

Trip to Divisoria is always tiring, yet so much fun. Can't wait for my next Divisoria tour **calling my officemates again** Promise, I will go back after Tami's birthday.

Mix & Match..

I posted last Sunday that we go to Binondo and Divisoria and we shop some loots (see the post here). Anyway i want to show the mix and matching of clothes. Well, im not that good in fashion but sometimes sa ganda ng damit, nadadala na ha... hehe

Solo Pic

Blouse - Burberry (Expensive)

Bag - Lacoste (Expensive)

Jacket - from Greenbelt 1 (Not-so-expensive)

Jeans - from 168 mall (Really not expensive)

Shoes - also from 168 mall (Really not expensive)

See what i mean? No need to buy all expensive things to look good. Just mix and match things is enough. Who would have thought that my shoes are from 168 mall only? Even my boss (Gary) asked me where i bought my shoes because he said that its really nice and he plan of buying one for his girlfriend. Ayaw pa maniwala!

Group pic

(sorry guys nilagay ko yung pic nten.. dont worry tinakpan ko nman mga face eh! hehe)

Ayen (middle) also wears the loots from 168 mall (shoes, blazer and shirt)

Chucky (right) Jeans and shoes are from 168 mall also..

Galing no? Hindi obvious na mumurahin lang yung mga suot nmen...hehe

Hay naku, love ko na talaga ang 168 mall. Guys, we should go there once a month and buy stuff.

Cuz kit and kat, do you like our shoes? If yes, i will buy some and will send it to you pag may pupunta jan. Just let me know your sizes. Fab yung shoes and luper lambot when you see it in person.

Fashion for Less it is!

Best hopia from Baker's Fair

After we shop in 168 mall and before we go home, Ayen brought us to this outlet selling hopia. She told us that everytime they go in Divisoria, they make it a point to drop here and buy hopia. Its her mom who discover this bakeshop..

Baker's Fair Bakeshop

They also have variety of breads and cookies..

The hopia section in front of the store. You will see here how they bake the hopia and what's good is they serve it fresh from the baking pan.

They have cakes too and panini's..

1 pack of hopia P100.00

This pack consists of 20pcs but you can bought the hopia per piece at P5.00. I bought this pack for our home. I want hubby and Tami try it.

When im home, i told hubby about the hopia and he loved it too. The remaining hopia placed in the fridge and this morning, we ate it and its also yummy even if its cold.

Will be back here when i go to divisoria..

Baker's Fair bakeshop is located in the 3rd floor of the old Divisoria mall. Medyo masikip nga lang ang daan papunta dun and ang dami talagang tao but its all worth it. :)

Loots from Divisoria...

When we went to 168 mall yesterday, we use the remaining 2 to 3 hrs to shop. And what funny is all the nice and fab items that we found there, all of us bought the same to get discounts except for Hugh because she cant wear girl things.. hehe...

You don't need to wear expensive things to look fab, right? You just have to know how to mix and match your expensive and not-so-expensive things and the most important is you have to be confident and be yourself, and that makes you fab.. tama ba mga mare?

Here are the loots that i bought in 168 mall...

Flat shoes (P125.00)

This korean flats are on sale at 50% off from the P300.00 price, when you get 1 pair you'll pay P150.00 but if you get 2 pairs, you'll pay P 250.00 only. My officemates and I bought 1 pair each and we combined it to get the discount that makes it P125.00 per pair. Kaya dapat may kasama kayo na bibili din to get big discounts... hehe

Flats upclose. Since the price of the flats is too cheap. Dont expect this to last for years. Siguro mga 2 to 3 months lang ang itatagal.. hehe

Red Shoes (P230.00)

Its P250.00 actually, we just haggled the price kaya P230.00 lang. I was lucky also because i got the red one and the last pair in my size. My officemate bought the white one with the print design. Its also nice..

I dont know if its chinese or korean. What we like with this shoes is its like combination of TOMS and Suelas. Very soft and comfy and you can fold it too. Perfect for travelling. At first out of stock na kaya nanghinayang pa kami but when we saw this shoes in one of the stall, halos sumigaw pa kami sa tuwa kasi ang ganda nya talaga in person. Di mo nga aakalain na P230.00 lang sya... Hubby also liked it. Di ko lang sure if meron for men.

Dress for kids (2pcs for P160.00)

This is what i bought for my daughter. Dress for pambahay... Very cheap at its price.. Fabric is cotton so i think its good..

Hello Kitty Fork and Spoon P100.00

One of my officemate bought Hello Kitty luggage in one of the stall. I saw this and its sale also. From P100.00 each, i got it at P50.00 each. Ayen also bought this for her niece. I told them na baka kumain si tami ng rice pag nakita nya yung Hello Kitty Spoon and fork.

Jeans P380.00

This is not sale but still cheap at P380.00 right?

PSP pouch P40.00

I just saw this psp pouch and i thought that it will be useful for Tami kasi lagi nyang nababagsak yung PSP. She's also delighted to see this pouch...

Puka coin purse P20.00

Im looking for a new coin purse and i like it the first time i saw this. P20.00 only.. hehe

Would you believe that all my loots is less than PhP 1,500?

All of us got fab items... Wala lang akong nabili for my hubby kasi di ko type yung mga shorts. I wanna go back there and shop again :)

Replica items spotted in 168 Mall...

I love going to Divisoria because they sell cheap items, you just have to find nice and fab clothes. I rarely go here because i dont want to go there alone kasi baka maligaw ako dun, nakakapunta lang ako if my in-laws will go there or my officemates wants to buy something there. Mas marami silang alam dun, they know where to find those cheap items that has good quality also.

After having lunch in Tokyo-Tokyo in 168 mall extension (thanks to Ayen kasi memorize na yata nya yung 168 mall, yesterday ko lang nalaman na may extension pla ang 168 mall.. hehe.. We walked around the mall to look for some nice items.

While walking around, you'll see lots of Fake items in 168 mall and they sell it for thousands of pesos. Grabe as in! Lahat ng designer bags may replica na.. Its so sad that you'll see those things around and people kept on buying it.. Tsk. Tsk. Do they realize that buying fake items will not help our economy to go up? Its not investment! And sayang lang yung pera nyo because when it comes to quality, its not good right? Why not make ipon and buy original ones, kasi dun sigurado ka sa quality and its worth your money.

Here are the FAKE items that i saw... Medyo hindi lang maganda quality ng photos kasi low-end ang cellphone ko.. Sorry naman!

Balenciaga, Chloe, and Gucci Bags

Goyard bag

Marc Jacobs and Prada

Lots of LV..

Even Tory Burch has fake now..

Longchamp also..

Hermes...

Rayban, Burberry and Prada shades..

Crocs..

Fitflop

And would you believe that 168 mall has TOMS shoes now? Grabe no?

Nakaka-sad dba?  I inquire in one of the stall about the LV Bag, when you look at the bag and you dont know how to spot a fake and you saw someone carrying these fake LV bag, you will believe that its original kasi sobrang replica sya outside, i also taught my officemate on how to check if the LV is an original or not. Back to the Bag, i show them the bag and i told them that when you look at it, youll notice that its really like an original one but when you will scrutinize the details, you will see the difference of the fake and original.. I ask the price of the bag and they tag it at P4,500.00.  Mahal dba? Makakabili ka na ng quality bag sa Charles and Keith with that price.

Sana maisip nila na hindi maganda yung ganun, dba?

Trip to Binondo..

Last Saturday, me and my officemates went to Binondo and Sta. Cruz because they want to visit Bro. Ben in Sta. Cruz for Feng Shui reading... We arrived there so early (around 8:30am) and the schedule of the store is at 9am so we stayed in Chowking and had a quick breakfast. After our breakfast, we walk along Ongpin Street to find the store where we bought our feng shui items last December.

My officemates (L-R) Jhoy, Hugh, Chucky and Me. Ayen was the one who took this pic.

After roaming around, we go back to Bro. Ben's store for the feng shui readings. Only three of us talked to Bro. Ben because they just accompany us and make gala... hehe

After the feng shui reading, we went back to Ongpin to buy the items or enhancers that we need. If you're planning to buy feng shui items, enhancers, etc, i suggest you look for this particular store because they sell the goods in a very reasonable price. We learned that this store is also distributor of the items thats why some stores in Ongpin also bought their items here.

Oversea Jewelry and Gift Shop..

Inside the store.. Dont foget to haggle because they are kind enough to give discounts unlike in some store, mahal na ang price, hindi pa nagbibigay ng discounts..

They bought Blue Mantra Ring also and some of the enhancers that Bro Ben suggested...

I look around inside the store and i found this items that are very nice for our house... Dba Jhoy? hehe

Foo Dogs

Foo dogs are known to Chinese as the guard of your house. I want these so for those im going to invite for our house warming, this is one of the things i like...hehe...  

Money Tree

I also like this. I think its perfect for my console table... I thinks its Php 2,950..

Sa Fengshui lang, inabot na kami ng lunch, after that we headed to Soler St. to look for the items that my officemate needed for her house. Their house is in construction already. I also joined her here because im canvassing lights and other items for our house..

Me and Ayen

We rode those sidecar na parang trike to get to Soler St. We pay P70.00 for the ride.

If you are planning to renovate or build a house, you can buy good items in Soler St. All goods regarding house from lights to tiles to bathroom fixtures are all here, its cheaper compare to mall. Soler St. can be found near 168 mall. I think its across the 168mall and 999 mall.

Our first stop is the store selling tiles... Jhoy and i inquire here because next week she'll be buying the stuff for the finishing of her house. I also inquire for my house...

If you are looking for tiles, you can view their website here.

We also went to different stores selling lights, bathroom fixtures, cabinets etc... After the trip to these streets, we went to 168 mall for our late lunch and shop a little before going home.
