Experience in Buying Watch at Lazada

What's inside the package
Unboxing the watch I bought.

My getup is only truly complete with a watch. But I’m still watchless now. It’s hard to buy a decent cheap watch since almost no one uses watch anymore. Why buy when you have a phone anyway? Unisilver doesn’t have leather. They’re mostly on silicon and plastic type which I don’t like. The strap of my previous watch is embarrassing to wear with its dark stains. All of my watch is disposable after 1-2 years due to damaged or dirty straps. Watch is not an investment to spend 2k or more for me. It doesn’t last even if it’s a branded one. Chances are it might not fit the kind of personality you have later on.

Choices are limited here in our province especially if you are searching for a particular design (we don’t even have SM here). I rarely find white watch. Unfortunately, the divisoria-like merchandise here sells cheap products that really have a cheap look and a poor quality when it used to be quite satisfactory before. Then I remember we have local online stores now so I searched in Lazada and Zalora.

My Experience with New Sample Room VIP Subscription + gift box

Vip packages with vip gift

I will admit I was discouraged when Sample Room increased their VIP subscription fee. It's like paying P100 for a free gift and an excuse to increase their fee. But change is expected for a growing institution and the gift is better than nothing at all. The best time to subscribe for VIP is when being a regular member is not enough and the free samples are really hard to resist. When Belo Sunexpert line arrived, I decided it's time to subscribe for VIP again. Why not when there's Burt's Bees products too.

The Initiation

I received a notice of shipment in my email. It didn't indicate that it's for VIP gift box so I thought it was meant for my 1st order even if I didn't send my payment information yet (maybe it's not needed to send it at all). This is where the confusion started.

Since I ordered another sample product (2nd order) again, I am expecting 3 packages but only 2 arrived (the VIP gift box and 1 package). Inside that 1 package is the 1st order and the 2nd order. They were in the same plastic. That means the 1st order arrived late. There I realized that payment information should by all means be sent and should be ASAP.

What I was wondering was, why should it be in the same plastic? So I ended up having 1 invoice for the 2 orders. Maybe they have forgotten to include the other invoice meant for my other order. If they were trying to save resources, they should have at least include the other invoice :(.

Olay Whitening Pearl Extracts Body Wash Review

Olay Moisture Body Wash

This body wash is better than Olay Coconut Body Wash. The clean scent is more acceptable. It reminded me of a powder detergent at first sniff. There are few times that I recognize another scent similar to the previous Coconut variant. That 2nd scent is quite sour. It’s a scent that needs masking. But in general, it’s not bothering or even noticeable for some. I finished the whole bottle unlike the Coconut variant.

It seems that I’m getting used to body washes especially now that returning to bar soap requires another adjustment. Just the thought of the dry feel from oil stripping bar soap discomforts me. Bar soaps means adjustment to a new kind of lotion to compensate.

Fast and Furious 7 (2015) Movie Review


Did you watch the Fast and Furious 7 in the movie theatre already? Bf said I will not enjoy it because it is about cars and racing (He thinks I only like love story since I recently indulged myself into books and movies in that genre but the truth is I’m really into a variety of things). Though my cousin said I will enjoy it and he was right.

I was surprised I did too because I was unconsciously expecting it to be a different kind of action; the serious and hardcore type. Instead, the feeling was like how it is with Pacific Rim though the later was way more overwhelming for me that I was even shaking when it finished. The action of the Fast and Furious 7 is meant to entertain and charm everyone.

The effects and the stunts are awesome. It tries to go beyond its limits to the point that the cars are dropped from the sky by a plane and it’s even real except the actors/actresses is probably not in the car when it was taken. It was my favourite part. When Dom is about to fire a gun at Shaw, I find it amusing when he suddenly decided to choose the street fight way where a scrap of metal is used to strike each other.

BSKOS Hydration Moisture Cleanser Review


I can’t find even a single review of this all in one cleanser over the net except the reviews from Sample Room. Maybe this is new or not yet popular? No wonder it’s only 50 points. But the pump looks pretty and it doesn’t look cheap at all.

BSKOS Cleanser Bottle

Inside the translucent bottle is a quite visible yellowish substance. I thought the stuff is concentrated, sticky, and thick or probably a gel/cream cleanser that doesn’t lather well. It’s actually hard to guess at first. Then I found out that the cleanser is a runny liquid but not as watery like H2O Cleansing Water Sample Review. The consistency and how it feels like when applied in the skin reminds me of the experience between using Cetaphil and Lactacyd.

Since the bottle is half filled, I used it in my face for only 1 week and a few days. Using it in the other parts of the body is like wasting the product and not being practical. But sometimes I wonder how it will feel like when used as a shampoo. I could only assume how it feels like in the body.
