internet shop girl Hey there! Are you going shopping?

First of all, I’d like to say that I’m not a new face in the 451Press Family (where this blog is hosted). You will find me in some of the TV blogs here (scroll way down below and you’ll see the links in the footer. Found it?). I religiously follow three shows and babble about it with other crazed TV junkies. One thing you should know about me is — television is my therapy.

Beginning today though, I’m going to have a new form of stress release. I’m gonna try the shopping therapy many women swear by. I”m taking over this site and will now be known as your…..Internet Shop Girl! Ta-daaah!

Confession: I used to be a shopaholic back when the word “shopaholic” wasn’t even in the dictionary, and back when the internet wasn’t so accessible to me. But I had a baby and had different priorities after that, my shoe collection started dwindling! My son is all grown up now and I find myself having more and more time for things like shopping. I’m still getting used to the title “Internet Shop Girl” because you know what? Internet shopping is very new to me, I have to admit.

But like many other people glued to the computer, I usually do most things online these days, this shopping activity included. Admittedly, I don’t buy everything I see. Wait, it’s actually more like I can’t buy everything I see. But then, I do find a lot of good deals on the internet and spend a good amount of time drooling on them or wishing I have a wealthy fairy godmother who knows how to shop online!

So here I am. And here you are.

Are you broke yet? Saved enough for that shoes you’ve been eyeing on? Do you know where you can get them cheaper? Which stores carry the latest collections?

Alright, don’t panic! Together, you and I will unearth more of these goodies online. And hopefully we’ll do that without creating a dent to our bank balances.

Let’s start shopping!

—————

Whenever she’s asked to describe herself, Lira usually sums up who she is in two categories: 1) a wife and mother and 2) a Television junkie.

For the most part, Lira considers motherhood as her ultimate career. She is a devoted mother to one boy, who is fast growing under the influence of his mom’s passion for television.

When she isn’t doing her wifely and motherly duties, Lira is found but where else? —Sitting in front of the television, watching TV as much as she can.

Too much TV watching is actually good for her, never mind what experts say. The TV allows her to bond with her child and husband whenever they watch their favorite shows together. Lira admits that some of the lessons she has picked up about life, she learned from TV. And if there’s one other joy she gets from TV watching, it is in the fact that with television, she can be so much more than just a plain old housewife. She can be a superhero, a goofy character, a TV doctor, a secret agent, a career woman, an alien….anything and everything she wants to be.

With so many genres, concepts and characters in TV today, like most junkies, she welcomes most anything TV has to offer.
