Lazada: A whirlwind of struggles with so little source of happiness

            As I was walking around the mall, I realized one thing. It was that less and less people come out of their private lounges to enjoy the therapy strolling in the mall causes. But again, who am I to judge their choice in living when I myself have spent a few weeks at home relying on the internet to keep me going. 

            As much as I would want to disagree on the overwhelming number of people using then internet as a source of merchandise shopping, I can’t help but somehow nod their way and say, “I feel you” because I genuinely do.

            I was in the hospital for almost two weeks due to medical conditions I would rather not make public. After getting out, I had to stay on house arrest so my residential nurse also known as mom can observe me before letting me return to my usual ways. Because I was so deprived of my routines like going out with my friends, drinking with my officemates and shopping, I had so little source of happiness and strength in me. My condition required complete isolation. My family insisted that it was for the best but I frankly just think they would rather not have to deal with outsiders monitoring my progress that adds to the pressure of them making sure I get well in time for their flight back to L.A. The least they could do was offer me access to the internet with certain limits including posting only pictures with no relation to my condition and not entertaining questions from my friends that would make them worry about me. I understood it completely but it wasn’t easy especially for a camw**** like me. 

            The internet became my confidante next to my eldest sister who stood by me all throughout my hospitalization. My sickness caused me to lose a lot of weight. A lot more than what I wanted to since I’ve been a little obese all my life. So before I was brought out of the hospital, it was noticeable how badly I needed to get new set of clothes. My parents knew how essential it was so they let me shop online with their credit card with a reasonable but unexpectedly large limit. Since I wanted a reason to get out right after I was dismissed, I didn’t buy many clothes online and instead used my accumulated money left to buy from Lazada Philippines. They couldn’t blame me since I have never been this slender so it was practical to get familiar with my size by actually trying clothes out before purchasing in bulks. For a long time, online shopping made me feel contented with how things were going for me. It filled a void nothing else could do. I know it sounds materialistic but apart from everything that was happening to me, the gadgets, books and clothes I bought were the only things left I still had control over. It was something I knew no one could ever take away. No matter how messed up life ends up for me.

LazadaPH: A different kind of online experience

Being a multimedia student, we are encouraged to buy laptops, cameras, and other pieces of equipment that will be needed to advance in our field. Of course we will be asking our professors which brands they prefer and would end up buying the brand they use!  It’s okay for me to invest now because since I was in high school, I already dreamed of starting my own video production firm. I want to be able to cover weddings and other momentous events. I want to be part of milestones in random strangers lives and see if I can be life-long friends with them. I am happy to be an undergraduate of my dream course and looking forward to succeed with my passion, talent, and drive in this field.

A month ago, at the start of my photography class, my professor required us to start bringing SLRs to class every meeting. He said that he does not mind how we would be able to bring a camera, he does not mind if it is our own or if it is borrowed, just as long as we bring one to class every meeting. So knowing me, I would want to have my own DSLR as I have been thinking of getting one myself. And now that I have a legitimate reason to get one, my parents would not be able to resist! Thank you for photography class! Before I just had a point and shoot, practicing with it and creating videos of our travelling trips, which I am always in charge of! I remember being so excited to get my first SLR camera. I knew that Canon was the brand that I wanted to get, since all my point and shoot cameras are Canon and I just love the image quality and ease of all the functions.

I researched on the best starter DLSR camera for me. I wanted to get a camera that was good in video shooting, one with anti shock, and one that has a screen that swivels so it would be easier for me to check my frame. I wanted to get a Canon 550D. I canvassed prices. The highest price I saw it for was Php45,000, I then thought that that was way over budget. I did not stop searching until On Lazada, I came across one that was almost Php 20,000 cheaper!!!! Wow! How did that happen right? I don’t know how Lazada would be able to offer me the same camera, same specs, same kit for a much lesser price! I know about Lazada Philippines, I heard about it from my friends and all of them said that Lazada is a good website, very reliable. I then told my mom about the great deal I saw and she said for me to grab it already since that was the cheapest I’ve seen on a quality camera that would last years! I did and 3 days later, I received the box intact. Delivered right at my doorstep. I am enjoying my camera so much and excited to practice shooting more on our to use our family travels this sem break and learning more so that I will build the best videography firm!! So happy that I found THAT Lazada deal!

 

Lazada: Hassle-Free Payment on Online Shops

I love buying things online. I’m a certified shopaholic. I barely have the time to go to the mall since I’ve got school until Saturdays and I have cheering practice every after class. I buy everything online. From books, different things, and especially clothes. But there is always one problem. My parents cut my credit card last month since I always maxed it to its credit limit. That is why COD or Cash on Delivery is always my go-to method when it comes to paying online shops.

It is really hard to find online stores who offer this kind of payment method. Especially these days, people and shop owners are more cautious with their money. For those people who do not know what this kind of method is, it is basically handing the money after the delivery of the item you bought took place. If you do not pay on the moment of the delivery, the item is going back to the seller. It is very time saving and hassle-free for the buyer. I prefer this kind of payment since I want to make sure to get the item first or at least see it in front of me before paying for it. I don’t really like the deposit style of payment because I’m always worried what if the item I bought doesn’t arrive. In addition to that, I don’t really have the time to go to the banks and line up in a sea of people.

Last week I got this awesome hoodie for a really low price from an online store called Lazada. Since it is raining almost everyday, I decided a get a hoodie instead of bring an umbrella every day because I always have so many things with me. I paid my hoodie through cash on delivery of course, and I’m just really surprised with Lazada because they offer this kind of paying method. With companies as big as them, they really have the courage to allow their consumers to pay at the time of the delivery. What impresses me the most, is that they truly trust their delivery agents and the also the customers. It says a lot on a company who trust their workers.

If you are a college student like me or a even a worker who doesn’t have any credit card or debit card, and loves online shopping, I strongly suggest that you guys visit Lazada. They really have an amazing variety of things to choose from. They offer cash on delivery payments on all of their products. It is fast, reliable, and the service is really good. It is hassle-free and worry-free. Anyone in your home can pay it for you. And if you do not have the time to go to banks or convenience stores to deposit your payment, I’m pretty sure that payment on delivery method is the answer for your problems. You also don’t have to worry if your payment goes directly to them since their own agent will pick it up for you. It is very efficient and effective.
