aircon almost 24/7. mamamatay ako pag walang a/c, pawisin ako sobra.

[tryxe]

Massage - once a week ata ako nagpapamasahe hehe. 200 pesos lang naman for head and shoulders massage. So why not make it once a week? tapos Php 350 lang ang full body massage. Mura lang naman kung tutuusin kesa naman magkasakit ako ng dahil sa stress.

Yoga - dahil din sa stress. Mura lang din naman magyoga kung tutuusin. Good for your body pa.

Taxi - hassle kasi magcommute lalo na kapag tanghali.

Skin Care - Buti na lang hindi sensitive skin ko at natural na maganda balat ko. Pero I make sure na maging maganda siya. So ginagastusan ko talaga.

[tomatostellar]

ocassional treats to self: movies/nice meal/travel
branded matibay na bag/shoes every now and then

[heaven_charm]

Weekly massage- to destress saka may back problem ako. Mas mahal ang therapy and meds kaya weekly massage nalang saw for maintenance. My doctor suggested it
Imported manicure, pedicure, foot spa every other week- nasstress ako pag panget nails and feet ko. Its imported para mag-last yun polish saka mas maganda colors nila. Hehe
Coffee- I cant work without this
New dress- I am a trainer and Attends meetings frequently. panget naman if they see me wearing the same outfit most of the time
Pocketwifi-LDR kame ni bf and I am also an online news writer so I had to open a postpaid line. Cheaper din siya and saves time kesa reload ng reload
Fastfood and resto meals- Sensitive stomach linings ko so I don't want to take a risk in carinderias. Mas mahal maospital
Branded perfume, lotion, and body scrub- better yun scent and formulation nila
Skin care and branded cosmetics- madali magbreakout skin ko. I rather pay more than masira balat ko tapos haharap ako sa Canadian clients namin. Pag kasi may breakout ka parang you're not that particular with your hygiene

[little_princess]

home service massage - 2 to 3 times a month because my body gets stressed easily maski na i just owrk in the office
good and reliable internet connection - especially when hubby is abroad or i am abroad
car - ease and safety of traveling
travels - we go home to hubby's hometown 3 times a year and mahal mag rent and airfare but it's needed
water heater - takot sa malamig na water
good skincare - products, services and doctors
valet parking - minsan if super packed na yung parking lot, i bite the bullet as my time is more important

[starbitee]

branded makeups - you put this on your face everyday so I guess it is just right to have excellent quality of cosmetics instead of your skin suffering in the long run 

[Whiza]

Renting my own apartment instead of sharing a room.
I work at home kasi, at di ako maka-concentrate kung may kasama ako. 

[jmeangeL]

Post paid line mas tipid dahil may 3500 text to all network for only 350.  marami akong clients only.  adik akong mag-text sa kanila dahil ayoko ng calls

Home DSL para pwedeng work from home kapag baha sa kalsada

Cable TV not a fan of local soaps

BB Fone para may YM, Twitter at BBM na 250 lang a month.  Qwerty pad para pwedeng text while driving 

Car para mahatid ang kids sa school; do my once a month hakot-grocery shopping; to pick up goods for my sideline biz

Old Town Coffee sorry, kaylangan galing SG ang kape ko... which is going to be a problem once hubby transfers to HK

Branded Perfume & Lotion doon na ako sanay

Jewelry I don't wear earrings or necklace or too many rings, but all the jewelry i'm wearing are authentic and white gold

pero di na rin naman luxury yan per se... typical needs of a working woman na lang

[angelzero]

a smartphone with unli data - kahit walang internet sa bahay ok lang.
a personal laptop - i watch all my shows in here, no need for a tv
ipod nano - good music is a necessity, especially when i commute. most buses tune in to annoying radio stations hehe

[friendlyneighbor]

Tablet -I bought it kasi kailangan ko sa work.
Power Tools ni hubby -it's better sya ang gagawa kaysa maghire ng tao.

[Cheesecak3]

Post Paid Plan - kailangan sa work and business

Smart Phones - I have iPhone and S4. I just let my son use my iPhone.

iPad - kailangan ng anak ko.

Car - hassle mag commute papunta sa business kaya kailangan namin to at syempre mas safe kung sariling car ang dala.

Bags - sort of a reward to myself. I am very workaholic and I save to have at least one authentic bag in a year to keep me motivated.

Travel - i see to it to travel every now and then and stay in a comfortable hotel. Ayoko ng budget hotel. Mas naging motivated ako at focus sa work and business kapag nakapag travel ako. The experience is priceless.

Massage - I need to have at least 1 a week. Kapag wala to sobrang hindi ako makapagfocus sa work.

Dining out and watch movies - we need to this weekly with hubby. Dapat laging may date, para yong relationship mas maalagaan.

Macs + gadgets -- i've spent so much money on my laptops because i use them for work. i use legit software and i buy expensive accessories to take care of them. i buy the best hard drives, i buy the best reviewed tablets and bags -- because i want quality stuff.

i'm sorry if CD-R King doesn't cut it for me, i can't go having anything that could potentially explode anywhere near my laptop, cameras and work.


Cameras + lenses -- good things come with a price. Canon L lenses, lights, bags. i got them. i need them for my job. i need my clients to know and see what they're paying for. its been a great investment for me and my crew so far.



Art -- i've spent a good fortune on these already because I like looking at pretty things. they keep me motivated and inspired. YES, i need it, and yes, its probably an addiction collecting these things now... but whatever. i want to live in a place that looks nice.

i've matured and realized that people need to be paid for their work. i charge a lot for a day's work, so why not pay these artists what they're entitled to as well?

heck, i've even been paying for indie artists' mp3s and donating, if i really like them.


Food -- i don't mind food prices all that much. if my bill alone costs 700++, as long as i felt that i've had a good meal, i'm cool with it. i want peace and quiet in a restaurant. i want the ambiance. i want REAL food. if Jollibee and Mcdonalds are gonna charge me P150 for a half decent burger, then i might as well support a real restaurant than that.

[charmedwitch776]

go to the mall once a week.

out of town twice or thrice a year

eating in restaurant atleast once a week


- bast need to get unwind kasi WAHM ako and badly needed fresh air kahit minsan minsan lang

[chiqmom]

Car- Actually mas nakakamura ako when driving my car instead of taking public transports. Mahal kasi dito sobra sa subd ang tricycle. hehe

Massage- Although nag tone down na ako ng konti, I make it a point to have my massage at least once a month. Dati weekly.

[mznogood149]

postpaid mobile plan
laptop
massage
brace
resto
branded clothes

[tinsantos10]

1. Having a postpaid plan- mas madali kapag postpaid kasi bukod sa makakamura ka (kesa paload ka ng paload ng P25 araw araw), maganda siya for emergency uses.
2. Branded shoes- based on experience, mabilis talaga masira yung mga shoes from tiangge. So why not invest on quite expensive shoes pero alam mong tatagal, diba?
3. Ipad- It's not for bragging naman e. Mas convenient kasi siyang gamitin and dalhin instead of using laptop lalo na kung internet lang gagamitin mo
4. Car- hello ang hirap kaya magcommute
5. Automatic washing machine- Yes it's more expensive compared to the usual washing machine pero at least hindi nakakapagod gamitin

[bebeloo]

travels - para sa akin luxury talaga to, inaamin ko naman. pero ito na nga lang ang nagiisang luho ko, pagbigyan niyo na ako. hehe

internet - di na ako mabubuhay ng wala 'to, promise

dinner outs - [textspeak!] namin to ni boyps kaya okay lang. pag tipid mode, nagmmcdo/jbee naman kami

[Girltalker2]

Skin care and derma

Gym membership

Renting our own place - kasi I am not in Pinas and most Pinoys here share apartments and rooms.  Samin mahirap especially I have kids and a helper, ang hirap din makisama sa iba. Dami na kelangan asikasuhin sa isang araw, iintindihin ko pa ba ang housemates?
Sa ibang bagay nalang ako hindi gumagastos kasi hindi din ako mahilig sa kanila - like gadgets

[kolinetongue]

Car- mahirap magcommute tapos may bitbit kang laundry noh
