It is a joyous time once again for a pageant fanatic like me as Miss Universe, the world’s most prestigious beauty pageant is now kicking off at the gorgeous country of the Bahamas. Way to go Donald Trump for a very cool venue this year as the place looks like a paradise to me!

A total of 84 beauty queens from different countries are now competing for the 2009 title and this includes our very own Miss Paula Bianca Manalo, a 22 year old flight attendant, a fashion model and a member of a beauty queen clan here in the Philippines.

Interestingly, the girls have just finished competing on their national costumes in the Rainforest Theater at the Wyndham Hotel in Nassau, Bahamas last August 10. Diana Broce, Miss Panama Universe 2009 bested the 83 contestants on the said event. Pictured below is her winning costume:

My name is Snow and I’m a shopaholic!

Yes dear readers, I started my ‘love affair’ with shopping right after I entered the workforce. I remember it vividly like it was yesterday. I was just 20 years old then…

Being hired 15 days after graduation in a leading commercial bank in Makati City was one of the most gratifying moment of my life as I never did imagine myself of landing a job immediately right after college. I remember that most of my friends in college were so proud of me since I was one of the first female in the batch to have a job right away. Up to now, it really made me confident as I personally think of it as an achievement. Anyway, back to my story…

The first four days in the office was okay since the corporate attire were tailored-made uniforms but it was during Fridays that I realized that I was out of place because my outfit reminded me so much of my college days. Yeah, I can hear them whispering, “Her look is not so corporate.” Oh gosh, this made me so sad and my self-esteem plunged at the bottom. It was a pitiful 2 months too because I really don’t know what to wear. I told myself, “I probably looked like an eyesore to them.”

So one day after I left my work at 6pm, I convinced myself to stroll at the malls to buy some ‘corporate clothes’ to wear. I guess it was my lucky day since all the sales ladies I approached that time were so helpful that they didn’t bother me trying all the ‘corporate outfit’ that I wanted to wear. It was so fun that I started to set a date for my ‘shopping moment’. I guess I became so comfortable with my very first experience that’s why up to this point, my ‘shopping moment’ turns into a routine every pay check!

Yeah, dear readers, I am indeed a self-confessed shopaholic because yours truly never stop in buying clothes, shoes, cosmetics or bags for me, my son and my husband every pay day. Gosh, it’s like I’m going to have a fever if I don’t buy at least one new blouse or cute sandals in a month! I don’t know, call me nuts or whatever but it’s really hard to deny that I’m an impulsive shopper! I believe I’m 100% guilty of this ‘addiction’ because even my dear husband knows that I’m unstoppable inside the mall. In fact, he is still so fascinated to see me getting ‘stronger’ each time I went out of a boutique with a new purchase! *lol*

So, do you want to know what’s inside the mind of a shopaholic like me?
