I have been staying and working in Pampanga for about two
years now but funny how I still haven’t gotten used to going around and
commuting here. I would usually get excited every Friday as I’d finally be able
to go back to Manila to hang with friends and explore new places but why haven’t
I’ve been that enthusiastic here in Pampanga? Then it dawned on me… I still
didn’t have a community here.
A month (or two was it?) ago, I finally joined a bloggers
community here in Pampanga and things got exciting again. I know I may sound
like a kid on her first day in school but knowing that I have a new set of
friends who are originally from Pampanga (and can finally teach me how to speak
Kapampangan) gets me excited to go back here every Monday. Hey I don’t even
mind staying over the weekend just so I can hangout with them. And aside from
these new friends I now have, I can now explore and learn more about what
Pampanga has to offer (specifically San Fernando since that’s where I live).
When it comes to shopping for new fashion and beauty finds,
I would usually still prefer going back to Manila, but when Khai (a fellow
fashion blogger from Pampanga) introduced me to a newly opened fashion (with
some beauty stuff too) haven in San Fernando, I found myself saying… FINALLY!
I am so coming back for these socks! |
They have beauty products! |
And look at this cute watermelon soap ;) |
And these colorful and funky watches! :D |
Hershoppe started out as an online shop and then attending
bazaars until they finally decided to open a shop in Malolos and now in San
Fernando, Pampanga. But aside from their own clothes, they have also opened
their doors to brining your favorite online shops offline! Yep, they have your
other favorite online shops in their physical store. That means no need to wait
for your order to arrive or to keep guessing if it will fit you right because
you can just go there, fit it, buy it, and go home with it!
And a trip to a new place won't be complete without a #selfie, yes? :P |
Hershoppe Pampanga is located at the MYS Building in San
Agustin, San Fernando, Pampanga. It’s near Waltermart just across the PTT
Gasoline Station. You won’t get lost, trust me. For someone who can’t commute
well in Pampanga, you have my word.
What did I get from Hershoppe? Find out in an outfit post
soon.
OMG! Those socks are too cute!
ReplyDeleteI was like that when I lived in Baguio for 2 years. I would always be excited to go home every weekend because I miss my family and friends so much. Then I started expanding my circle and made friends there. Eventually I just didn't want to go home anymore! It was so much fun! Ah, I miss my independent Baguio life. :)

DeleteI'm glad that you've discovered a new community and friends who are like minded, having the same interests in fashion and blogging! The pieces in the store are so cute, I LOVE those socks! Are there different languages or dialects in the Philippines? Thanks so much for sharing, beautiful, and I hope you're having a great week so far!

DeleteI want to meet up with other bloggers if possible but I don't think there are any in the town that I live in. I have desperately googled for beauty bloggers living in my area but so far no luck. :-(
ReplyDeleteShireen | Reflection of Sanity
Aww. Well how about in nearby towns? It's good to have fellow blogger friends to hangout with. :)
DeleteOh my gosh, I want those cute socks!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're feeling a little comfortable there in Pampanga now. Blogger friends? Yayy, that's really exciting. I can't find someone here in Zamboanga though which is sad but I'm hoping I'll meet someone someday.
Lovely post, by the way. ~

I went to a boutique just last Friday too in Lipa and they do sell a lot of nice clothes too. I'm sure this boutique has a lot of kikay items! :)

They are! Can't keep my eyes off of them actually. xD
DeleteThe soap looks so cute and I think its great that you exploring the city where you are living now and that you found some new friends! About my trip to the Phillipines - it would be absolutely awesome to meet you! Maybe you can show us a little around Manila!? Let me double check but I think we will be in Manila the entire day of October 23 (which is a Sunday so you will be off work!?) and it would be super cool if someone local could show the city to my husband, baby girl and me :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great new week!
