Shopping with Bloggers at Manels Anniversary Sale 50% Off

I remember MANELS ever since I was a kid. I think their store at SM North Edsa has been intact ever since time immemorial! As far as I remember, Manels has always been the store that is known for its good quality leather goods -- the type where your parents go to buy their shoes and bag staples. I don't remember personally buying there until like a year or two ago. I was passing by a MANELS store and they had a sale very much like what Manels is having right now! I was looking at the sales rack when I saw this darling shoes!

I remember buying it for a steal! Like only 599 pesos? AND YES, its still alive and wearable up til today! I love the color (PURPLE for the win yeah!) and the fact that despite its high heel (lol obviously not a huge fan of super high heels!), I can still wear it and pull it off. A rare feat I tell you. I wore it during one of the graduations of our school where I was the emcee. Nice noh? Napansin din ng sobra ng mga students ko! It was my first introduction to Manel's "CATCH" line. 

So I was thrilled when I found out that MANELS was having a sale thanks to Mr. Mark Siggaout, owner and VP of Operation of Manels. I dropped by their store at SM North Edsa with Jen the previous weekend and already had a sneak preview of some of the stuff that they are selling. And so I knew that if I wanted to grab a  cool and chic Manels shoes, NOW was the time. Just by looking at their new trendy "Catch"shoes, I'm sure it will surely "catch" the new generation of Pinay fashionistas and trendsetters out there. So last Monday, I finally was able to visit the brand "new" Manels SM Megamall Branch. New because it just had a facelift. Its now more chic with its bright pink for Catch (women's line) and bright blue (men's line) for Maphisto interior.  

This is what greeted us at Manels Branch at Megamall Entrance!

Of course, I had lots of fun taking photos of the loads of MANELS shoes and trying them out. I also had a dilemma on whether I should get a pair of shoes or a bag. I really wanted a bag! Since it was Manels, I knew it was good quality leather. So I really considered getting a bag.

Seeing all their bags on SALE at 50% off made me salivate! I WANT! But then, all those pretty and fierce shoes started calling out to me! Then seeing my bffs choosing their fave Manels shoes got me thinking, and of course they started convincing me to get the shoes first. I already previously posted about the shoes and bags which I liked very much at Manels. You can check them out at just click this Manels Shoes and Bags post. So hence my dilemma, SHOES or BAG? If you are my twitter follower you probably know alreadyt. If not, FOLLOW ME!

Saw MELAI from Style and Soul. Met her at a previous event. :) She's super friendly and nice!

Amid the shopping frenzy and worrying over what to buy, I couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised with a lot of familiar faces -- bloggers whom I have only read and met online!  It was really cool actually meeting, chatting, and seeing them all in person. So while I was trying to deliberate whether to get shoes or a bag, I also grabbed the opportunity to meet, greet, and take a photo with some of the bloggers that I read and follow. Here are some of them!

Nuffnang and MyPLDT Movie Event - Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon | OOTD

Have you watched Transformers 3 already? I did last week! It was my first time to watch a movie premiere and I was privileged to get 2 free movie tickets to watch Transoformers 3 - Dark of the Moon at Edsa Shangrila Plaza. This was all due to Nuffnang and myPLDT plus. Have you joined Nuffnang yet? If you are a blogger, I suggest you go and register and be a part of the Nuffnang family. There are a lot of opportunities and events where you can join and like me, be able to get free tickets to watch the premiere of Transformers 3.

Since I got 2 tickets, I of course asked my bff since babyhood, JEN, to watch the movie with me. We were both happy and excited! Since I don't have a car, we both commuted to Shang via the MRT. Riding the MRT is ever so challenging during rush hour. So straight from work, I rushed myself to the nearest MRT station (which was in CUBAO) and met up with Jen there. It was already rush hour but thank goodness the train wasn't that jam packed. But still, I can only shake my head at our public transportation. Hehehe.. Minsan kasi talagang feeling sardinas ka sa loob sa sobrang siksikan and for that, sa ladies section pa yun ah! Buti pa ang LRT Purple Line mas maluwag.

When we arrived at Shang, we were greeted by the AUTOBOTS! Hehe.. There were several Transfomer Cosplayers who were hanging out in the movie area. I'm so impressed with their costumes. Kudos to you guys. I don't know how you can stand the heavy costume and probably the unbearable heat underneath it. I applaud your dedication to your craft. AND for that.. I had a picture taken with them. hehehe.

With Optimus Prime

We also had some free cocktails while waiting. Yummy eats!

They also provided a photobooth for us Nuffies. A lot of us had fun taking photos!

Finally a picture with Jen!

  Look who we bumped into! The ever beautiful Earth from earthlingorgeous.com

Then it was time for us to go in the movie house. Shia, Rosie, and Optimus Prime.. Here we come!!!

Transformers 3 - Dark of the Moon delivered a movie full of amazing video effects! I found the story a little bit long but it was bearable. I liked the Movie but the storyline felt choppy in some places. But to tell you honestly, I don't want to give a full review of this because really, I was there to enjoy the whole Transformers experience. I didn't go WOW because of the story but more on the effects! I grew up watch Transformers the cartoons so for me, just seeing my favorite robots - The Autobots on the big screen is like a dream come true! I get flashbacks of my childhood days. I'm also glad that they are now reintroducing the Transformers to a whole new generation of kids. I hope they will come to appreciate it as we did way back then.

Anyway, Shia is once again super loveable! His awkwardness still endears the audience to him. His hot new girlfriend played by Rosie Huntington-Whitely looks awesome! I like her better. Some of the old cast is still there. Here are some photos from the movie. 

HOT NEW ADDITION!

After the movie, Jen and I rushed back to the MRT (buti na lang, Shang is one of the stopovers of the train!) and went to Centris to meet up with some friends and a ride back home. By the way, Centris looks like a very promising hangout place. We will definitely go back there sometime soon!
