Loving my First Experience Online Shopping

I considered shopping online after my friend linked me to a website that offered the watch I liked for a much cheaper price. It wasn’t that I never wanted to try it. It was just I never got around it because I never knew which sites were safe enough to check out.

I have always wanted a Casio watch and for what it’s worth, I have never bought any piece of jewelry or watch for myself in the entire 7 years I have been working. I just never thought it was something worth investing on considering how people normally think I’m gay. I thought getting a watch that looked sleek, current and affordable would help amp up my image giving a more lady-like exterior.

While I was with my friend at Eastwood, she mentioned about how she got her watch online and if I was interested, I should check it out. I checked it out using my phone but it directed me to a mobile download link. I didn’t have enough battery to power up my internet so I had to postpone it until I got home.

After work, I drove home and switched open my laptop almost immediately excited to see just how good the deals my friend was talking about. That was the first time I ever spent more than an hour just looking through a bunch of stuff for no apparent reason with the intention of actually buying. And that was also the first time I explored Lazada Philippines as if I have been doing it for quite some time. For a moment, I was completely distracted that I even forgot about my initial purpose, which was to buy a watch.

The website was very well equipped with the latest gadgets. And being the unusual type of girl, I have invested immensely on electronics. The Consumer Electronics section reflected so much of what I like that I couldn’t look away. It was especially harder when I saw the PSP Vita on sale. I wasn’t just impressed it was on sale. I was ecstatic seeing the original price being a lot cheaper that what it normally costs when displayed in malls.

I was also in luck when I checked it out. It was just starting its holiday season promos when I saw so many interesting products on discount up to half the original prices. None of it spoke to me directly but I sure was greatly swayed because of the insane marked down prices.

I ended up buying a Mossimo watch on sale for 30%. It wasn’t what I primarily had in mind but it was beautifully encrusted for something so priced low that knew I would regret not getting it when I still had the chance.

As oppose to shopping in malls, I would definitely have to say that I’d much rather check out online first before exhausting my energy walking around store to store. It saves time not to mention energy. And I’m definitely categorized as one of the boys when it comes to shopping given how I can’t take so long doing it.
