Internet shopping in the Philippines not yet as popular as it is in America. Here, the items for sale are limited and can usually be found off-line at much lower prices. However there have been pretty successful auction sites that are noteworthy, and I do know of some folks who actually make a good living selling online.
The internet shopping sites I use most frequently are Ebay Philippines and Bidshot. In fact I used to be so addicted to Ebay that it was my browser’s homepage for a while. For those of you who haven’t experienced either, let me tell you that for those of us “stuck” in Baguio, these sites provide a realistic virtual window shopping treat.

While blogging is a relatively new medium for me, I am not a newbie to the web. As webmaster for a travel website for the last few years, I have always been very careful about publishing only the truth (so that even when my stat counter allowed me to determine which number I wanted to start from, I chose to start from zero).

Then I realized how influential webmasters and bloggers could be, especially if there are very few in the same niche.

I have always wanted a personal blog. Something that screams “ME!” But would you really be interested in my life? Maybe, but most likely not. But I think you will prefer to read about things that would benefit YOU instead. So sneak a peek into my life though the things I buy, the things I eat, the businesses and deals I enter into. At best you may pick up a few points, at the very least you will be entertained.
I will also include here product reviews, consumer/customer concerns, checklists and lifestyle articles — and I promise to be fair and constructive every time. Maybe I’ll even throw in a few recipes here and there but nothing fancy (I plan a whole “De Lata Delights” series). Just all the shortcuts that would save you time and money.
