It's been a looong while since my last entry. I've been wanting to write about so many toys that I've acquired from previous months but then I have so much on my plate that I can't seem to find the time to write.
Now that 2016 is almost over, my New Year's resolution includes updating this blog and be consistent (Yikes! It's been my NY resolution last year and the year before!).
Anyway, I am excited telling you about yesterday.
Well, for several months, I have been controlling myself not to go to toy shops in order not to get tempted. I still haven't solved my storage problem for my dolls and toys and most of them are still in the attic, waiting to be arranged in shelves.
I can say that I have been successful, except that I continued completing several sets of Happy Meal toys. :)
Then yesterday, December 26th happened!
I was at the mall to have my regular visit to the spa, then strolled, and shopped for additional gifts.
We were about to walk towards the parking lot when I felt I needed to pee. We were at the 3rd floor, where the restroom is located, which happens to be where the toy area is located.
I was being a good girl that I only glanced upon the toys and didn't go further towards the dolls anymore.
After I was done, I went out of the restroom and was ready to go home. Upon exiting, lo and behold! The path where I would pass led straight to a shelf where Monster High dolls were on display. In that mall, dolls are placed at the farther area to the right, but for some reason, they have decided to place the dolls just right outside the restroom area.
I said I just would look, but saw them to be on sale! My heart beat faster than ever and I couldn't resist not to look at them! They were all pretty, and even got prettier with their lowered costs.
While browsing, the saleslady approached, saying that they are priced lower because it's an after-Christmas promo and that by the start of January 2017, they'd all be back to the original price.
It was actually a struggle, convincing my self not to buy. However, I was like an addict who's on her way to being clean and yet got faced with the temptation and eventually gave in to her old vice. It really felt that way!
Now to make the long story short, I ended up with a grocery cart full of Monster High dolls and bought a total of 14 dolls at one time. The good thing is, I don't regret even a little bit of it!
I shall be reserving a day to take photos of them all so I'd be able to post them. Hopefully I will be able to show them before this year ends.
I know I will, I am positive.
Merry Christmas everyone!!!

I purchased another 3 dolls last night (Dec. 28) after office and I am still thinking of getting more dolls perhaps tonight and the next few days.

This marked the return of an original love. It was an instant collection.
Days after this were already doll-hunting adventure. |
