juanderful Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Okay this seems to be the thread I can post my question... So I'm visiting Manila for a couple of weeks, but am still disapointed not to see a lot of good vintage stores (not thrift). Somebody pointed me out to the ever famous Bambang Market, but no one can tell me the exact directions to get there. Do any of you know how to get there and is it worth the trip for trully vintage? If this is your kind of style, help me out. By the way I'm a straight guy in my 20's who loves style! Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment

Thanks in advance.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>  To better answre your question about directions I need to know where youre staying at in Manila. Roughly, Bambang is along Rizal Avenue extension (formerly Avenida)... The LRT or a cab is the easiest way to get there but if youre alone id go w/ the LRT - the train stops at whats called the Bambang station...  The shops are in the street parallel to Rizal Avenue extension. You can also try the Ukay shops in Baguio and Kamuning... Edited July 25, 2005 by Wyld Quote Link to comment
wyette Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 i do shop a lot! but i try not to maximize my credit cards (most of the time) since it's automatically debited to my dad's account! :hypocritesmiley: i'm not into branded things too... i'd rather have those that fits well and that costs reasonably. quality-wise is also a criterion anyway! :)Â the last things i shopped? and that was last week... a pair of sandals, several and i mean, several nice-fitting shirts, stuffs for my nieces and nephew, toiletries!

I think they have new stocks in Kamuning every other Tuesday... but that might have changed since the last time I was there....I think there is also one along Shaw Blvd very near EDSA.... Â Good luck and enjoy! Quote Link to comment

Sabine Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I have lately been a sucker for online shopping (zappos, amazon, shopzilla, you name it). The last one I bought was a 4-panel Shoji screen for my studio. Quote Link to comment

strong_cock Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I'm not sure if I'm a shopping addict but I tend to buy a few stuff only because some of the stuff I own, I hand it to my sister or brother sorta hand-me-down stuffs. I have 5 computers and 2 laptops. At the moment I am upgrading my server PC of more hdd's. I now have 1.8TB of space on it and usually every 3 months, I buy a new 200GB hdd. But now that I'm done with those hdd's...I wont be spending anything on it. I like gadgets...I think most men do. but then again, I buy a few clothes here and there... I bought the following recently: 1. Panasonic DV Camera NV-GS200 for $1800.00  2. O2 XDAIIs for $1300.00 http://i20.ebayimg.com/02/i/05/0d/44/c1_1_b.JPG 3. Samsung Laser Printer 4. 3 x time delay safe for my equipments 5. Gigabit switch, wireless router/modem, 200GB hard drives 6. 2 pairs of suits $1200.00 7. 2 pairs of Florsheim shoes $400.00 8. Breitling watch $3500.00 http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a178/sleeperagent/IMGA3624.jpg  Am I a shopping addict??? This year, the only stuff I will probably buy is a new laptop because I'm going to give to my sister my Toshiba and my brother will get the IBM. Oh...I need an Asics trainers for when I go to Manila. That's all for 2005 i think...I hope so! Quote Link to comment

Wyld Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Been a while since I last posted here.  Because of the change of season - I have been buying pants and jeans. I got a pair of jeans from Express and another one from Old Navy - on sale at 50% off. I got 2 pairs of slacks from Jones New York and another 2 pairs from Ann Taylor - all on sale. Also got another pair of slacks from Old Navy because they were having a clearance sale. Quote Link to comment

nataraki's_gurl Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 used to be... got this weird habit of buying all the colors of something na nagustuhan ko. or buying something just because its cute or something weird. can't go home from the mall without holding lots of shopping bags! sometimes naman kc i don't buy for myself. i'm generous to friends and i like giving gifts. but lately, i'm trying to resist the urge to splurge because of my hunny. he's making me regulate my spending habits and turning me into a sensible, practical gurl. and believe me, though it's hard, i appreciate it.
