Shop a Cause

Always been shopping for the benefit and joy of yourself?
Share your joy while shopping, by purchasing items from this following site http://shop-a-cause.blogspot.com or click on the tab 'Shop a Cause'. It is started for the benefit of helping the poor and needy, where ALL proceeds goes to missions, humanitarian work and charity. Items are donated by me and some people who would like to take part in this cause! Items will be updated every now and then as the items are coming in.

There are 2 ways you can participating in this cause! Give away your items so that it can be posted up for sales and proceeds can be used to help the various groups of people or you can participate through your purchases. Items are updated every few days and once you put a price to the item, it is considered sold! So grab the items you like and do good today, before someone else beats you to it!

However, there is no reason not to do good. So even though someone might have beat you over an item, there is always another reason to give and keep giving.

Over shopped?

Shop, like, buy... Especially when you are away on a holiday and you have to make a decision on the spot whether to buy or not. In the end, to prevent regretting not getting what we like, we end up buying more than what we need!

Like many shoppers, i believe many of you face the same situations below:
1) Bought too many things and you do not need them all
2) Have many brand new things laying around that are not used, bought on impulse!
3) Accumulation of things over the years and some are only wore once or twice
4) Growing out of your sizes
5) Buying clothes that are not your size, believing that you will fit them one day!

Honestly, i fall into almost all of the above! I can relate to how you are feeling now because i am facing the exact same situation and thoughts are running through your mind:
"They are still brand new, i can't bear to give them away"
"Maybe i can really fit into them soon!"
"What if the fashion comes back?"
"I really love this dress/top even though i cannot fit into them"
"I only wore this twice, so wasted to just give it away"

With all these thoughts running constantly through your mind as you go through every piece of item in your closet, you will never be able to pack out anything! But once a wise man said, whatever you did not use for the past one year, you probably will not do it again~

Don't know what to do with the items that are still brand new or once wore once or twice, in perfectly new condition? Shopper's Mind is planning to start a Shopper's Mind Store to help you get rid of these items but at the same time, do good! Stay tune for more information! But meanwhile, pack your closet and take nice photos of these items!

Invited to a pool side event and wonder what to wear?

This is me! At a pool side gala dinner sometime back.

St Peter's Basilica

If you are a Christian or a Catholic, you will love this place and everything has a significance to your faith. However, even if you are not one, but if you love art you will this! Everything you see around from the entrance of the door, to every tile that your feet track upon to the wall and ceiling, they are so full of details that your camera will never be able to fully capture its beauty. Beyond words.

Photographer: Me!

The morning sky before leaving the hotel next morning! Is the sky always nearer on the other side of the world?

Touched. Moved.

Just read a blog that brought tears to my eyes.

I wish I could have known how you felt all along so I could be there to understand what you were going through better.

I wished I could have understand and know how all of you felt and what all of you are going through so I could be a lot more understanding.
I want to stop thinking that I know it all because I know I don't!
It is not about me, it's all about you.

I thought I lived the best I know how, till I realized the things you were going through.
I pray I'll move.
My heart, to pray for every single one of you, for all that you are going through.
To believe with you, the kinda dreams you have!
To live, to laugh and to love together.

Honestly, I missed the times we had.
Now that all of you are busying about things you care, maybe it was me who did not care enough.
I want to be apart, I want to be there.
Walking through the pain and sharing all the joy.
Lord, teach me how to care.
Not so that you will obey, but just so that I can be there.

Thanks for opening up and sharing with me your life, because it really mattered to me.
As much as how it all mattered to you. It really does to me.
I'll be praying together with you, believing for that future you hold.
I know you will make it through, no matter how bad the storm may seems.
The time will come, when everything will be made beauty in His time.
I know and I'm sure.
