Singapore shopping: Charles & Keith

I saw a Charles & Keith shop at Ion Orchard Mall with a large sale sign. Who couldn’t resist? Besides, my friend said that Charles & Keith in Singapore is more like an ordinary brand there, so it’s cheaper. As much as I wanted to buy 2 bags or a pair of shoes, I’m considering the lack of space in our luggage already. So one bag is enough…

Mystery shopping in the Philippines

I first encountered the term mystery shopping 3 years ago at the Girltalk forum. Apparently, mystery shopping is already known in the US and is used for the improvement of customer service. Here in the Philippines, I signed up with Satisfind out of sheer curiosity on how to be a mystery shopper. That was 3 years ago and I only got to do 2 projects for them. One is to do grocery shopping and another is to rate the customer service provided by a certain jeans boutique. Mystery shopping is quite exciting, it requires being attentive to what the sales assistants are doing because you’re going to assess them and answer their survey form online after your mystery shopping stint. It can’t be considered as another source of income through, it’s just for pure fun. I only got a Php 300 gift certificate for the grocery mystery shopping and a Php 500 as a token for the boutique mystery shopping.

The only requirement to be a mystery shopper is you have to be at least 18 years old. If you want to experience being a mystery shopper, register at their site. If you know of other companies who are looking for mystery shoppers, post it here.

Coogi for men

Have you heard of Coogi? It’s an Australian clothing brand made famous by The Cosby Show’s Heathcliff Huxable and by The Notorious B.I.G. I’m also not familiar with the brand either, mainly because it’s a hip-hop brand and primarily caters to men. It’s considered as an upscale brand before but now, they’re also catering to the masses. Young adults can definitely find something nice among their collections of sweaters, jackets, sneakers, jeans and shirts. Their site is on-sale, check it out!

A new camera for the photoholic and videoholic

How many digital cameras do you own? First, we only had one simple digital camera, a Canon Powershot that’s still working and we gave it to my sister-in-law. Jeff had his DSLR, a Nikon D80, which I rarely (never) because it’s so heavy and I don’t know how to use the manual mode. The Panasonic Lumix LX3 which Jeff gave me as a birthday gift is what I use until now. I love using this because it’s compact but functions and shoots like an SLR. Apparently, Jeff also enjoy using this too instead of his Nikon D80. He loves using the HD video recording and wide angle shots. Because of this, there are times that I’m left with just my camera phone to use or use his bulkier DSLR.

Since we’re going to Hong Kong, it’s the perfect time to scout for affordable waterproof digital cameras because it will fit our outdoor lifestyle. My LX3 is too precious to get wet. We’re eyeing for a Panansonic Lumix DMC-TS2…
