Most of you are probably wondering how much shopping budget to aside when visiting South Korea. 

I've prepared a Korea shopping haul so you will (more or less) get an idea on how much things cost in Seoul. (Note, however, that most of the stuff I bought are from small stores in Hongdae/Myeongdong). See post about Hongdae, here. I didn't buy from the usual/popular brands like H&M, Uniqlo, Basic House, etc... because items there will surely be more expensive. 

(For the benefit of my Filipino readers, 1. Bag, Php 2,040 2. Eyeglasses, Php 540 3. Wallet, Php 480 4. Flats, 1,480 5. Shorts, Php 198)

(1. Bracelet, Php 236 2. Necklace, Php 200 3. Bracelet, Php 276)

I consider myself as a frugal shopper so I do think twice before heading to the cashier. And as you can see, I made it a point to just get one of each: one pair of shoes, one bag, one pair of shorts, one wallet and a few accessories. Are you a frugal shopper too? What do you consider a good mix of items when shopping?

Bugis in Singapore

Now for the last part of my travel series episode 1. 

To those people who went to my blog expecting and wanting to find makeup/clothing/fashion/beauty related posts, just skip these travel posts. hihi. 

Traveling is just my second love so can't help but post. 

Goodmorning sunshine! Last day in Singapore. :( I look happy in this photo but to be honest, i'm dying inside. I'm so not ready to leave SG just yet. Still more places to explore. huhu. 

A shot of the buildings outside our hotel window.

 Love the fact that even the buildings are somehow organized in a certain manner. 

Our unmade beds. 

We were so in a rush to eat breakfast and make the most out of our last day. But we did tidy this up a little bit before leaving. 

Of course, we can't forget to hear mass first. 

(Sacred Heart Church)

Thank you, God, for this super wonderful opportunity to experience the beautiful country of Singapore even for just three days. :)

Yay -- now ready to do some last minute shopping! Hopped in the MRT Dhoby Ghaut and went to Orchard station to visit Wisma Atria

We're here. Woot woot!

On our way back to the hotel for checking out. 

I don't know what this photo is all about. :|

Oh! my sister is trying to capture the full-sized DOMO right thur!

Can you see it? Can you see it? hihi

I wonder who was first. Jollibee or Jollibean? 

I sure do hope it's Jollibee! 

Look at the font it's certainly the same. 

Shopping at Bugis Street Market! 

Saw gazillion piles of clothes, shoes and bags.

 Almost identical to Greenhills Shopping Center here in the Phils. 

Magsawa sa phone covers! haha

Of course! I can't miss their one-dollar Wall's ice cream sandwich. 

It's like Selecta here. They prefer to call it Wall's in SG. 

Stopped by IKEA but wasn't able to buy anything. 

It's not like you can go to the airport and carry a 200 lbs table. haha.

So yea empty handed is the way to go. :(

My last meal in SG! Korean food, my fave! lalalalove love Bibimbap!

My sister being extremely excited for her new shoes from Forever 21 SG. 

Back in MNL!

That's a wrap, guys Hope you enjoyed my travel series episode 1. 

Also hope you learned a thing or two. ;)
