Remember Andrea’s Diamond Stud Earrings? Well I am still drooling over it up until now. I love the brilliance and the simplicity of it so much that Ruy took pity on me. He said he’s willing to give me a Jewelry Gift for Christmas….yey!!! I have been looking at Jewelry Stored here in the Philippines and I must say most of the things I’ve seen are either too common or too boring.

I want something unique and something which clearly shows my personality. I also want something that would match my wedding ring. Given that my wedding ring is quite unique and difficult to match. I have scoured several shops and I have yet to find one thing I like. I decided to check out an Online jewelry store to see if I can find something I’d like.

I would have to say that I was overwhelmed by the number of beautiful pieces I found. I am currently obsessing over colored diamonds. I don’t like pink or yellow diamonds but I want the chocolate, black and blue diamonds. Here are some pieces I adore.

This is a 3-stone Blue Diamond Ring set in 14k Gold. I’ve never seen blue diamonds before and so I’m loving this.  I find it beautiful and understated. It would go so well with my diamond and sapphire half-eternity wedding ring. To make this ring even more tempting for me, it used to sell for $800 but now only sells for $299! Wow. I’m hyperventilating from too much excitement.

I am also drooling over this chocolate diamond cross.   It’s amazing how sleek and sexy the cross looks, I never imagined I could ever describe a cross as sexy but this piece is just that! The fact that it’s selling for 60% less than it’s actualy price makes it even prettier in my eyes.

Hmmm, I guess we can imagine where some of my blog earnings will go this December.  =) I am loving browsing through this online store cause it’s so convenient. You can narrow down their collection by type, function, stone type, metal type, cost etc.  It’s just so much more convenient than having to drive from one store to another.

I have subscribed to Unionbank’s Eon and I was so excited about it. It’s sad because I’ve been met with one frustration after another with this one.  First is the multiple trips to the bank and processes it requires. There are too many repetitive steps.

Now, my money which I transferred from my paypal account last Monday is still not here. It’s been 8 days.  I called them and they said it would sometimes take 11 working days. Oh really? What happened to the 5 working days you promised me before I got an account? Aaaargh.

So this means for example that I earn let’s say 40 dollars from PPP, I have to wait for a month before I get paid. I then transfer the money to my Eon account where I’ll be charged 5 dollars. Leaving me with 35 dollars. Then, I have to wait 11 working days to get my money? That’s almost 6 weeks just for 35 dollars. WOW!

You guys are not going to believe it…but I think my yaya finally saw the light. This morning while driving Andrea to my lola’s house I asked her what else is missing and that she better make sure she won’t forget anything. She then shows me a list she made. She made a list!!! Wooohoo…

Of course the list contained EVERYTHING we buy so my grocery bill reached almost 4k. But that’s better than worrying if your daughter still has something to drink at night. Right?

I feel like Christmas came early today.

I cannot even count the number of times I’ve received offers for Viagra. I am so tempted to write to these people and tell them that I’m  a young WOMAN and I don’t need Viagra and I am not interested in enlarging my….ahm…my manhood. =)

I don’t understand why these businessmen would waste their time, energy and resources sending these mails to people who don’t fall within their target market. Wouldn’t it be more economical and wiser if they would have a list of people who actually would be prospective buyers and then send email to people on this list?

There are actually companies that act as list brokers and produce a compilation of accurate and focused list which accounts for a higher response rate.

If only everyone subscribed to these lists then I would not be getting offers for Viagra but I would get a lot of offers for Jewelry. Hehehe
