“Bagging” Some Pogi Points!

3 Comments

If food is the way to a man’s heart… then being with my wife has taught me that the way to a woman’s heart (apart from the obvious – diamonds and flowers) is through shoes and bags.

But getting my wife a pair of shoes is quite tricky for me. I could never seem to grasp her taste… and there’s also the trouble of getting her the correct shoe size but NOT the right fit.

So, what’s a guy to do to get some much needed “pogi points” from the missus?

Simple. Get her a bag instead! And that’s exactly what I did. I went online to check out some really cool bags which I knew my wife would easily fall in love with. And because I know that she has a thing for anything “Ralph Lauren”, choosing which brand to get her was a no-brainer.

ZapposKnowing that I can effortlessly purchase items online using my GCASH American Express Virtual Pay, I immediately headed to Zappos.com to see if there were a good number of RL bags to choose from. To my pleasant surprise, not only were there a ton of RL bags… some of them were on an unbelievable SALE!

Ralph Lauren Bembridge N/S Tote IvoryAfter going through a vast Ralph Lauren selection, I eventually found this really cool looking Ivory-colored RL bag! Alas! I knew… this was it!

The “Ralph Lauren Bembridge N/S Tote Ivory” bag!

It was on sale and being sold for only $94.99 (original price is $158.00)! They were also selling it in a limited color that I was confident my wife didn’t have yet.

SDRAM Sweetness!

2 Comments

Just a few days ago I was really looking forward to ordering additional SDRAM for my iMac… which I did. I made my online order on July 26, 2013 on Amazon.com by using my GCash American Express Virtual Pay.

If you were following my blog posts, you’d know that it didn’t take long for my order to reach my “My Shopping Box“ address in the US and shortly after was already on its way to the Philippines.

FINALLY! It’s here! And it didn’t take too long!

Package

All it took was a mere 13 days total – from ordering online to its arrival right at my doorstep. Wondering why I ordered online instead of purchasing it locally? Simple. It’s cheaper online and I’m guaranteed that what I’m getting is authentic.

Going Gaga Over GCash American Express Virtual Pay!

6 Comments

Remember a post I made a couple of months ago about Globe’s awesome new service that provides a wonderful solution to easy and secure online shopping?

GCashIt’s called the GCash American Express Virtual Pay.

It is a US ISSUED virtual American Express debit card that is seamlessly linked to your GCash account! It uses the funds you have inside your GCash account to purchase items online!

American ExpressIn a nutshell, Globe understands the difficulty Filipinos encounter when it comes to online shopping especially when accessing US-based merchants/sites. Some merchants require you to have a valid US address… a few do not even ship outside the country. Some ship abroad, but freight charges usually cost an arm and a leg (Ouch!)

Well, all that is now a thing of the past because of Globe’s GCash American Express virtual pay!

I know what you’re probably thinking right now. Don’t worry even the slightest bit because GCash American Express Virtual Pay is ABSOLUTELY SAFE! In fact, I’ve been using it for quite sometime already. It is even my enrolled credit card on my US iTunes account so I can purchase iOS apps that are exclusive only to the US market. It’s THAT cool!
