I'm a writer and a transplant to NYC from the Philippines. I enjoy dressing up and feeling pretty without breaking the bank.
I sell from a smoke-free and pet-free home. I feel very strongly about reducing waste so I don't do fancy packaging. I make sure that your item gets to you in the condition that you bought it for. When possible, I will also reuse boxes or bags that I've gotten from my online purchases.
I'm open to negotiations so don't hesitate to reach out if you see anything you like.

Hi there @closetdrama! I'm a very new one. I just got here end of last year. I'm so relieved that winter is over. Haha!

just_dandy
Just saw this! You guys are too cute!
pakainin
@shopforever2014 Thank you so much! I was just in your closet reading about how your stay in Colorado Springs was a nightmare to your health. So sorry you had to go through all that and I hope you won't need to again in the future. Drastic changes in the environment are really taxing to the body.
just_dandy
Thank you! I am not a fan of Colorado Springs. The final doctor I saw before leaving was the only doctor to actually listen to me. I was like "Where have you been the last 8 years!??". He even put me on special program where I can't go back.
My question about that area is -why do they name everything after water?- because there is none! Too dry! Don't believe the travel brochures-they lie!!!
pakainin
@shopforever2014 Haha! Well, it's good you're out of there now. One of my worries about moving to the US is that I might discover allergies I never knew I had before but so far so good. It's just the harsh winters that I consider my ultimate enemy for now.
just_dandy
But yeh- I'm sure down the line we are all "mixed". I just happen to be a European mutt..super white girl!
pakainin
@shopforever2014 True. It's also the same with your little one. She just happens to get the dominant gene for blonde/blue eyes even though she's mixed. It's fascinating how arbitrary genetics is.
eshoppe
Sino na nagpakain sayo? :) nice to meet you! :)
eshoppe
Where are you in NYC? Maybe we can set a Posh meet ups someday. ;)
pakainin
@eshoppe Ooh another Pinay! Ang asawa ko. Haha! I'm in Brooklyn, but not the hipster part of town. We're more in the Chinese side.
eshoppe
We're in the north eastern PA but always goes to NYC to get away. But I can't see myself living in downtown NYC. Not only that it's expensive, it's too busy and crowded as well.
pakainin
@eshoppe I know what you mean! That's why I like being in Brooklyn. It's not as busy or expensive as Manhattan but it's close enough for meeting friends or going to whatever events. We went for a drive to Philly a few weeks back. We went to Reading Terminal Market and checked out the Chinatown. It's a charming place!
eshoppe
I love going to the Reading Market. :) it's like an explosion and fusion of different cultures. :)
eshoppe
Do you have an Instagram? Mine is collierism. I also blog but haven't updated it in sometime now (hungry-globetrotter.com).
pakainin
@eshoppe Just followed you on Instagram. I'm pumpkinsoup8. Also, you're gorgeous!
pakainin
@eshoppe What were you in Korea for? Also, post more recipes. You love to cook! Perfect! You can make me pakain! I haven't been updating my blog too. I should. *sighs
eshoppe
Ay! Salamat! So are you. :) yes, cooking is another thing I love to do whenever I can. I sometimes get asked about recipes that's why I came up with the blog. :)
eshoppe
It's great that you're able to publish a book. :) what an accomplishment. :) I sometimes struggle with gathering all my ideas that's why it's a challenge for me to write. Argh!
eshoppe
Oh yeah, my husband worked in S. Korea ( US Government). He was also in the US Airforce.
pakainin
@eshoppe It always is a struggle. Took me six years, from conception of the idea to the final revision. I just stuck with it no matter what because I knew I would hate myself if I abandon it. Yeah, I think it's my greatest achievement thus far. I've been cooking for only about a year. It was surprisingly not as hard as I feared it would be. I'm still feeling my way around the kitchen but I think I'm doing fairly ok. Haha! My husband hasn't complained.
eshoppe
OMG! You don't have any idea how many times I tried to start writing just to eventually abandon them completely. That's why I commend you for being able to complete yours. It sometimes feels like I'd rather solve a mathematical problem than to continue writing. LOL.
eshoppe
Trust me learning how to cook is not as hard trying to be a good writer. :) there's always a chef in us.... :) you'll be an expert in it no time. :)
pakainin
@eshoppe Cooking better be easier than writing because otherwise we'd all starve to death. But no mathematical problems for me. My head hurts at the mere thought.
eshoppe
Come on, you can't starve. McDonald is everywhere. It's the US's staple food. Hahaha... :)
pakainin
@eshoppe Haha! I'd probably starve then.
samloveslau
Hi girlie!!! Marami na tayo dito 😘 I'm from Manila-Hawaii-now California. Nice to meet you!
pakainin
Hi @jazzyj69 and @samloveslau! Happy Independence Day to us!! I love bagoong but dinuguan just doesn't cut it for me. Funny because I used to eat it as a child. I would love some halo-halo now that summer's upon us.

pakainin
It's nice to be meeting lots of Pinays on here. Thank you for the welcome, Darlene @dfizzal!
pakainin
Nice to meet you too, Stacy @dollface86! Unfortunately, it's not available on an ebook format, and only select bookstores in the Philippines carry it. I brought copies with me to the US so people here usually buy from me, if ever. It's not the most ideal setup but it's the best I can do for now.
pakainin
Thank you for a sweet, sweet welcome, Celia! @lalalalola!
dollface86
@pakainin well that's still awesome that you have written a book! 😊 if you ever get an Ebook up please let me know 😊
pakainin
@dollface86 It is super awesome. :) I will definitely let you know!

There are a lot of great girls on this site. Have fun on your journey and don't ever hesitate to ask a question. I'm happy to help... Or at least try! 😊

beautybooster
@pakainin, kumusta?!and kumusta to all the other Filipina ladies?! lol! I've been meaning to stop by to drop a note since that first time I saw your name here:) I'm another pinay from the windy city-Chicago, at your service...lol! I've been thinking about attaching a face and a profile description in my closet among all the other things I'm thinking of doing :D Anws, you have to tell me more about the book you wrote;) I'm another book lover:) Ingat and God bless!!!
pakainin
Hi Lar @beautybooster! I'm good. My Poshmark name is a dead giveaway. Haha! Do post a profile page. It's always interesting to read about the lives of the girls here. I think I have an aunt in Chicago although I hadn't talked with her in a long time so I don't know where exactly. My novel is about a love-hate relationship between a mother and a daughter. Here's a press release on Manila Times: http://www.manilatimes.net/synopsis-of-joni-chams-in-my-mothers-house/30508/
beautybooster
@pakainin , Thank you for sharing that website, Joni! I will check it in a bit:) I commend you for publishing a book. That is a lot of hard work :) I do love to read peoples' profiles (not to be nosy) but to get to know them a bit. But when it comes to my own, I am debating as to how much should I say and how much I'll keep private.;) I have a tendency to keep talking most of the time :) Like right now, I am actually thinking odf a lot of things ro say...but have to behave ;) I'll see you around here and good luck to all of us Poshers :) (and also maybe another idea for a second book is coming ;) ) Take care always!
annympt
Thanks for the shares :)
mizfabulousity
@pastafazzol hi Joni welcome to Poshmark!!!🎉🎉🎉
lvjeanqueen
@pakainin Looks like were the same size. I had b Po ob job..your feet are size bigger. Our style a little different. . Its nice to find people ur size, for staples, jeans, basis. Ill keep checking.. im Christine, chrisbrownrocks..
pakainin
@beautybooster Haha! I have been blogging since 2005 so I put a lot about my daily life online. I do have some things I keep private though.
pakainin
Hi Christine @chrisbrownrocks! It's always a delight to find someone my size! Interestingly, I seem to be a 7 or 7.5 in the US. I was just at Payless trying on shoes and the ones that fit me are 7 and 7.5.
pakainin
Thank you @mizfabulousity! Your closet is indeed fabulous!
mizfabulousity
@pakainin 😘👍
lvjeanqueen
@pakainin Same shoe size as well, cool!! Your a lil conservative... sonetimes I'm classy. Sometimes im straight rock n roll. I have fun with clothes. . Definitely purse fetish... nice to meet you..
pakainin
@chrisbrownrocks I have realized that I'm considered conservative in the US. This was not the case in my home country. Hahaha! Nice to meet you too!
lvjeanqueen
@pakainin Im from Seoul, Im considered a crazy person there, not so anymore, which all pop music.coming out of there..im 43. When I was a teenager, it was rough .. lol
pakainin
@chrisbrownrocks Hahahahaha! That's really funny. You know, one of the things I thought of before moving to NYC was that I wouldn't be weird anymore, with so many weirdos here. I was actually a bit sad about it. I'm 34 and have long learned to embrace my idiosyncrasies!
lvjeanqueen
@pakainin Been to Vegas lately?? Lol
pakainin
@chrisbrownrocks Haha! So that's where you're based. I've never been. I don't party (nor gamble) so it has never really occurred to me to go. My impression of it is one big party place.
lvjeanqueen
@pakainin No this the best city in the world, for me.. the best clubs, restaurants, no last call. I moved here the recession from OC, CA.. I was making 6 figures for 10 years in finance, then it got so bad, I was barely feeding myself. 4 hour drive, my mom was and still is a blackjack deaker here. The rest is history, always something to do here, I cant imagine living anyehere else .
pakainin
@chrisbrownrocks Wow. Good for you. I only just recently got my employment authorization so I'm in the middle of applying for jobs. *crossing my fingers
lvjeanqueen
@pakainin good luck. .gotta go!#
pakainin
@daisyd0102 Hi Daisy! I saw you've sold some tall boots. I haven't listed mine yet because I'm worried about the shipping. When you sold yours, do your tall boots require extra shipping charges? Thanks!
daisyd0102
Hi, the boots that I sold were fairly light weight. Depending on how heavy your boots are, will determine the shipping. Anything below 5 lbs will not cost you anything. If they weigh more than the 5 lbs then you will need to upgrade the shipping label. I think most boots will be less than 5 lbs though. I would suggest you weigh them. I don't have a postal scale so what I would do is weigh myself and then weigh myself with the boots. Subtract the weight with boots -weight without and the difference will be what the boots weigh. I hope I didn't confuse you and that it helps 😊
pakainin
@daisyd0102 So even if they need a bigger box, as long as weight-wise they're less than 5 lbs, then I'm ok? Thanks so much! That really helped.
daisyd0102
Yes. I use the free boxes from usps. You can order then online and get them shipped to your house for free or in the post office. Just make sure they are priority mail only. That it does not have flate rate on it or regional and express mail. Only priority mail is allowed or brown boxes. I usually use their Priority mail shoe box for shoes if they fit. There isn't any size restrictions that I know of, just the weight. :)
pakainin
@daisyd0102 Thanks so much, Daisy! I'll list my boots soon! :)
pakainin
@jacklynmonet Thanks! You have a lot of cute stuff too!

@pakainin hello! Hello! Another Pinay here from Illinois. New to poshmark. Introduced to this awesome site c/o @dressmecute
pakainin
@carlegaspi Hi there! Kumusta? Thanks for the intro, @dressmecute! Another Pinay I constantly interact with is @beautybooster (Lar). I think she might be in Illinois too...
dressmecute
Oh yes! Lar is a family friend. Small world and how we can connect on Poshmark as well. :)
pakainin
@dressmecute Whaaat! I didn't expect that!
Also, here's a synopsis of my novel. http://www.manilatimes.net/synopsis-of-joni-chams-in-my-mothers-house/30508/
It's not available in bookstores in the US so I always tell people to request their local libraries to purchase a copy, and they get to read it for free. But if you really want your own copy, I have some with me here that I can sell too. :)
dressmecute
Read the synopsis of your novel. It's a great one. Congratulations! I could ask our local library to obtain one but I was wondering how much is a copy?:)
pakainin
@dressmecute Thank you, Frida!! It's $20, already includes shipping with tracking. :)
dressmecute
I will purchase 1 copy. Support a kababayan and enjoy a good read. ;) LMK where.
pakainin
@dressmecute Awww! Thank you soooo much! My email is sanapakaininmoko @ yahoo.com. Can I get your email so we can make arrangements regarding shipping, etc.?

Hi I'm Filipino from Cebu and now lives here in Seattle. I have two cute boys. Nice to know there are pinoys here.
pakainin
@abeng10 Hi! Maayo! :)
abeng10
I'm still new here in Posh though I already registered before but never tried to sell but rather try to shop for myself. A friend of mine gave me an idea when she told she is doing buy and sell locally. I just started this month and haven't sold anything here yet but did good in other sites which has a lesser fee. Any Bisaya dinhi?...hehehe.

@abeng10 Poshmark indeed has pretty steep fees compared to the others but so far, I've sold the most here. Where else do you sell? I'm on so many online selling platforms, it's ridiculous. I'm not sure if you'll be able to type names of other sites here so just email me if you want. sanapakaininmoko [at] yahoo.com.
cheylife
Thanks for the shares! 😻😻😻

pakainin
@cheylife Absolutely no need to thank me.
purseaddict28
Hi din po ako. Just reactivated my posh again but just now selling ulit. I see lots of pinay here. Parang ang saya. How exciting! ☺️also, I admire how you've published a novel. I think that's amazing!
pakainin
@purseaddict28 Hi Genevieve! I think it's amazing too! Hahaha! Thanks for dropping by and good luck with your selling. Let me know if there's any way I can help.
kerriet
I'm also a writer! A copywriter, though. *womp womp* 😬
pakainin
@aakerry Woohoo!! Nice to meet you! I just headed over to your page to read about you. Ooh, I've been applying to copywriter jobs but no one even bothers to give me a call around here. I doubt my application even gets to a human. :p
pakainin
Ooops! I tagged the wrong person! Sorry, @aakerry! I was tagging @kerriet.
peanutpancake
Hi! Where can I purchase your book! I think that's awesome! Congrats!
pakainin
@peanutpancake Thanks so much, Jennie! Because it's not available in the US, I usually just ask to be paid via P a y P a l then I ship it. We can talk about it more on email: sanapakaininmoko [at] yahoo.com. :)
pakainin
@peanutpancake Or! You can request your local library (either your university library or your neighborhood one) to purchase a copy so you can read it for free. :)
livlowlife
Hey!! Thank you for all the shares : ) : ) that was really nice!
pakainin
@livlowlife Aww! No prob. You have a lot of pretty stuff! :)
livlowlife
Well thank you ! You have nice things as well! : )
thestarrynight
It's lovely to meet you :)! What kind of books do you write?
pakainin
@thestarrynight Hi Chrissy! I only have one published book (so far. Ha!) Here's the synopsis: http://www.manilatimes.net/synopsis-of-joni-chams-in-my-mothers-house/30508/
thestarrynight
Cool! How do you like NYC so far? Enjoying summer in the city?
pakainin
@thestarrynight I love summer in NYC because it never gets too hot (at least for me). I'm actually wearing a light sweater now. Haha! I'm so dreading winter though. Are you also in NYC? Which part?
thestarrynight
Yep, in NY right now. Thinking about going to Central Park later. I hear you on the winters here - they are cold and last way too long. 2-3 months of winter is fine and fun, but 4-6 months of temps under 50's just nuts! What fun activities have you gotten to do so far to enjoy the summer here? Do you like to write at home or coffee shops, etc?
pakainin
@thestarrynight Perfect weather for Central Park! My husband has been taking me around. This summer, we've been to Governors Island and Long Island; food tripped in Queens, etc. Some Sundays, we would just look for interesting brunch places to eat at, mostly in Brooklyn.
pakainin
@thestarrynight I haven't been writing much lately because of freelance projects I need to finish first (and also because I've been procrastinating!!). I mostly write at home because I don't want to spend, as much as possible. Writing in coffee shops almost sounds like a luxury to me.
thestarrynight
Sounds like you've been having a great summer! Governors Island is super fun, especially on sunny days. Did you go to Flushing in Queens? They have delicious Chinese food. Have you checked out any of the outdoor concerts, rooftop bars or Shakespeare in the Park yet?
pakainin
@thestarrynight Yeah, we want to go back to Governors Island before summer ends. Both the hubby and I are of Chinese descent so we crave for Chinese food from time to time and Flushing is usually where we go. Then all of the good Filipino restaurants and grocery stores are in Queens too.
pakainin
@thestarrynight We've been wanting to go to Shakespeare in the Park but we could never get tickets! Any tips on how to snag them?
thestarrynight
Are there any Filipino restaurants in the city that you like? For Shakespeare tickets, I'd recommend signing up for the online lottery (you might have to do so many times before scoring tickets, but it's much easier than waiting 3-5+ hours in line which I've also done).
thestarrynight
If you like to be on the water, Fire Island, Long Beach and other parts of Long Island are nice. There's also free kayaking on the Hudson! Most museums and gardens have free admission days or are pay-what-you-want, including the Met which has great exhibits right now, the Frick, MOMA, Guggenheim, etc. FIT's fashion exhibits are always free and usually very well-curated and easy to do.
thestarrynight
Summer Streets, a city-long block party, is still going this weekend. Vendors offer free 1-hr bike rentals, snacks, even a small dog run. It's fun to bike all the way up and down Park Ave!
thestarrynight
Have you been to Prosperity Dumpling or Szechuan Gourmet in the city? Both are yummy. Where do you go in Flushing? I like Nan Shian, Xian Famous Foods, and White Bear, but there are tons of places I haven't tried yet.
pakainin
@thestarrynight I think my husband does the lottery for the Shakespeare tickets but no luck so far. I haven't tried any of the Filipino restaurants in the city because the feedback I've been getting is that they're mostly overpriced and more Westernized than Filipino.
pakainin
@thestarrynight We've done the free Friday at MOMA and free first-Saturday-of-the-month at Brooklyn Museum. So far, those are the only two NYC museums I've been to. Would love to check out the others!
pakainin
@thestarrynight Ooh, Summer Streets sounds good!! But we have plans of going to AC this weekend so I might have to wait for next summer for that. Will probably check out the free kayaking one of these weekends (because free! yay!).
pakainin
@thestarrynight We would usually go to Noodle Village in the city for Chinese food. In Flushing, we've been to White Bear and checked out the food courts in malls. One was New World Mall but I can't remember what the other one was called. Never been to Xi'an Famous Foods but I seem to hear/see that a lot--Oh I just looked it up. It's a chain, that's why. For some reason, the hubby doesn't like going to chain restos. I don't mind checking it out one of these days though.
pakainin
@thestarrynight Omg, I think I'll skip the Hudson River... http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/09/entertainment/annie-lennox-tali-lennox-ian-jones-missing-feat/index.html
thestarrynight
How was the Brooklyn Museum? Never tried Noodle Village - will have to check it out. The original Xian Famous Foods is in Flushing. The owner's son started expanding into new locations a few years ago (I think after a race review from Anthony Bourdain). It's very good if you like spicy/noodles/lamb.
thestarrynight
How terrible! That poor family. Luckily, the free kayaking in the city is a pretty small area..it would be hard to capsize.
pakainin
@thestarrynight Loved the Brooklyn Museum! Didn't get to finish everything so we'll probably be back. Yeah, the hubby doesn't like spicy food, and we both don't like lamb. Haha! Might still try it though because he likes noodles so we'll probably just get beef noodles or something.
pakainin
@thestarrynight I'm getting so hungry now!!
keng2gurlie
@pakainin hi Joni! Pinay rin ako. San sa Manila ka? Currently living in SAn Diego!
pakainin
@keng2gurlie Hi Lyn! Valenzuela. Ikaw? Ooh, I like San Diego!
keng2gurlie
@pakainin sa Taga-Sta Mesa. Bale kakalipat lang namin dito sa San Diego. I knw i like it here. Galing ako ng Hawaii.
pakainin
@keng2gurlie I saw "aloha" on your profile pic nga. Hawaii must be really nice too! Ang naiisip ko pag Sta. Mesa, SM. Hehe!
raetz
Nice to see you on Posh, fellow Pinay! We are almost the same size (except for shoes). 😉
pakainin
@raetz Hi Rachel!! Nice to meet you here! Where are you located?
raetz
Hi Joni! We are based in DC. I love New York and used to go there a lot (less frequent now because of the toddler-in-tow. Hahah). But punta ako dyan in two weeks for a quick mommy getaway. :)
pakainin
@raetz Ooh, DC is really pretty too! Yeah, come while it's warm and nice. It's not as fun in winter. Haha!

naraeve
@pakainin hi! Another pinay here. Nice to meet you!
pakainin
@naraeve Hi Abigail! Nice to meet you too. You have a lovely closet! :)
irist
@pakainin hi! Thanks for the follow! I knew that you're Pinay when i saw your usertag "pakainin" 😊 nice to meet you! And im from PI too.
pakainin
@irist Hi Iris! Haha! Yeah, it's a giveaway. Where in the Philippines are you from?
pakainin
@mbrendel Hi Michelle! It was my pleasure! Thank you too!
irist
@pakainin I'm from Cebu City. And you? Thanks for sharing some of my listings 😙
pakainin
@irist Cebu is a great place! And I love the food there. :) I'm from Manila.
irist
@pakainin I terribly missed eating Filipino foods and I hardly have time to cook as well. Haven't been to Manila for a long time.
pakainin
@irist Nakaka-miss nga! We're lucky that it's not too hard to find Pinoy restos here in NYC pero effort pa rin. And some are soooo expensive. Saka minsan hindi naman kalasa. Haha! I've started almost accidentally learning how to cook Pinoy dishes. I can now make adobo, afritada, and mechado. Hehehe! :)
irist
@pakainin haha you're funny! But you're lucky coz you have Pinoy restos there (i agree on that sometimes their food doesn't taste really that good) and Jolibee and Red Ribbon too. Here in Kansas City, nada! But we do have Pinoy caterers here but I can't just have party all the time to have Filipino dishes. Lol
pakainin
@irist I haven't been to Jollibee here but I'm thankful for the Red Ribbon. Haha! You should start a Pinoy resto there!! Or if you have the space, you can host small dinners and people can pay for seats ahead of time.
fashionfavours
Thanks for all the shares and nice closet. After my move I'll be looking to buy :)
pakainin
@fashionfavours You're welcome! Where are you moving to?
fashionfavours
@pakainin moving to Las Vegas, NV from Seattle. Big change but really looking forward to it.
pakainin
@fashionfavours Good luck on your move! Moving has always been very stressful for me because there's so much to think about so it's always a relief as soon as it's over. But in a way it's nice too because it represents change and moving forward to something better. :)
wenrella
Its nice 2 meet U ✌ (officially )
pakainin
@wenrella Nice to meet you too! It turns out I already am following you! :)
noy2312
@pakainin there's a meet and greet in NYC!
bagswithtags
Haha I like your username 😆 I was born in Quezon City but I've lived in New York since I was 3. Nice to meet you! ♥️🇵🇭
pakainin
@bagswithtags Where in NYC are you? I need more friends here!!
bagswithtags
Hi! I'm actually in Yonkers, just north of the Bronx, but I work near the World Trade Center sometimes (which I think is probably not too far from Brooklyn by subway!). Do you ever come to Westchester County? There's a big Filipino population here!
pakainin
@bagswithtags My sister and her family live there (I think). But definitely not in the Pinoy area. I don't remember even seeing a single Asian where they're at. We should meet up one time! I have this friend i go try different places with once a month. Once we've decided on our next restaurant, I'll let you know so you can try to join us. :)
bagswithtags
That would be great, that sounds fun! Maybe your sister lives more north? About 35 of my cousins also live here haha! My mother owned a Filipino grocery store here for 20 years (it's closed now, but she is still a Johnny Air agent), and my dad works at an immigration law office in downtown Manhattan (where I occasionally work too). So maybe I am just around Filipinos all the time! 😄
bagswithtags
I work at my own small dessert shop where I have a couple of Filipino items on the menu, like halo halo and sago/gulaman 😊 btw, I saw you posted your Instagram name so I followed you 😁 I'm on Instagram with this same user name, and my dessert shop is "gogreenlycentralave" if you want to follow 😃
pakainin
@bagswithtags Is your dessert shop in Westchester? What's the name? We'll explore the area one of these days and hopefully find our way to your shop. And I followed you back on IG. I'll look up pinoy community in Westchester now. Haha!
bagswithtags
Yes, it's in Westchester, on Central Ave in Scarsdale. It's called Go Greenly of Central Ave (it's mostly a frozen yogurt shop, and there are other Go Greenly shops but we are the only Filipino one 😉). There used to be a Westchester FilAm Society, and I know the Bronx has a big one (they just held their annual Christmas dance haha)... Maybe Brooklyn or Queens has one too?
pakainin
@bagswithtags I found the Yelp page (http://www.yelp.com/biz/go-greenly-scarsdale-2)! We will definitely check it out one of these days. I'll let you know when we can go. There's a big Pinoy population in Queens so that's usually where we go to satisfy our Pinoy food cravings but not so much in Brooklyn. And I don't know, I seem to have lost (or never really had) my socializing skills. :p
bagswithtags
Aww thanks for liking our Facebook page! I will find you on my personal Facebook too (although I very rarely post anything there because I am not so interesting lol). Yes, whenever I'm in Queens I feel obligated to get palabok at Jollibee haha. I just wish it were closer! Don't worry, I'm not the most social either - luckily most of the Filipinos I know are related to me 😜
pakainin
@bagswithtags We're having dinner tomorrow night! Still deciding on the place (maybe Indian or Korean) but just thought I'll let you know first so if ever you can check your schedule. And yes, find me on Facebook! :)

beauty_essex_ny
Yes, thank you. It's a gated community all the way down to Coney Island 😀😀😀 Love it! And how do you like Bensonhurst ?
pakainin
@victorianudelma I like our area in Bensonhurst bec it's very convenient. Lots of grocery stores in our block and the subway and library are nearby.
beauty_essex_ny
That's awesome! It's good to love your neighborhood, otherwise it's not fun ;)))

pakainin
@southerngal0724 Thanks Lisa!! I hope you're enjoying Posh so far. :)
southerngal0724
@pakainin Oh yes, I'm more than enjoying this -- it's almost become an addiction. All the people I've met here are so generous of heart and willing to help in any way. That is almost unheard of in today's society.
wenrella
Welcome to Poshmark🎉 Its nice 2 meet U

pakainin
@chickikay Hi Dawn! I think you have a cuter username! I don't think I've been to Red Egg but it seems like you enjoyed your time here so that's good. We were in Baltimore last year and had a great time! We were in Chicago naman the weekend you were here. Haha! :)
chickikay
Salamat! 😘 Sa Chicago naman kami namasko kamakailan lang. 🎉 bago lang ako Sa posh. Sana magkita tayo Sa sunod naming pagdalaw Sa NY. O d kaya meet up tayong magkababayan sa Jollibee -Queens! LMK @ex_globetrotter @onas @mimay

Ay, ang saya! I miss Jollibee. LOL! The closest to me is either in LV or CA. 😋 Are you attending the NYC brunch tomorrow hosted by @theachloe & @queenmumm? I'll definitely let you know when I'll be in town. It's been a while since I've been to the Big Apple. When I was flying, I preferred the West Coast flights because we get 2 night layovers there unlike the 24hr ones in NYC. Nice to hear from you. Chat soon! 😊

@chickikay 👆🏼😀
pakainin
@ex_globetrotter Heyhey! Can't go because we have to go apartment-hunting. Landlord is kicking us out soon now that they've listed our house for sale. *sighs* Plus I'm on a real tight budget. If you do come this way, let us know!
leslierunway
Thank you for all the shares! What novel did you write? I must look it up! That awesome! 😃
pakainin
@taylormcneely Aww, you're welcome! Thank you for sharing mine too. :) The novel has a mother-daughter love-hate theme. Hehe! It's called "In My Mother's House" and currently, seven libraries in the US carry it. If you're not near one, it would mean a lot to me if you could request it at your local library or university library (6 of the 7 libraries that have it are university libraries). http://www.worldcat.org/title/in-my-mothers-house/oclc/843859618
theachloe
Hi Joni! Good to see/meet other pinays here. I will let you know if we're having another Posh N Sip soon. I hope the apartment hunting was a success. And yes sis @ex_globetrotter Punta na dito at mag Jobi tayo! xoxo
pakainin
@theachloe Thanks Chloe! We're not yet done but we'll get there somehow. How was the event?
pinaychicmama
@pakainin you have a lovely closet. It's good to see another Filipina on Poshmark. I'm also from NY, but all the way upstate. It's also good seeing someone from the same time zone lol. Most of my POSHERS are from Cali way. Hope you have a great day. Happy Poshing! 🤓😍🤗
pakainin
@cpfendler Thank you! Yours is really good too. The furthest I've been upstate is probably Westchester, which isn't really "way upstate." Hehe! Nice to meet you. :)
pinaychicmama
@pakainin Thank you! Yah, I am so close to Niagara Falls I can throw a rock. LOL! Not literally but, I'm about an hour away from Canada. :-) Nice to meet you as well.

@meghanmorrill Hi! I sell it through P a y p a l, $20 already including shipping. It's a crude way of distribution but I can't quite get it in bookstores here. It was published in the Philippines so I just brought a bunch of copies with me when I moved. :)

nyc_apple
Welcome to Poshmark and to NY! You have a wonderful closet. I'll have to check out your blog. Congratulations on writing a novel! It's something I've wanted to do but can only muster a few chapters. 💙🗽
pakainin
@nyc_apple Thanks! Been in NYC for 2.5 years, and on PM for 2 years. I recently got the email that I'm a suggested user but I don't feel the difference yet. No deluge of followers or anything like that. Writing a novel is a long and painful process. You just have to keep going at it. You already have a few chapters. That's a lot more than what most people have. It took me six self-doubting years to write mine. :)
nyc_apple
@pakainin I received my Suggested User email a couple of hours ago... Let's see what happens. My one-year posh anniversary was celebrated last month. Wish I knew of this site sooner! As for my chapters they aren't anything I would let anyone read, LOL.
pakainin
@nyc_apple Ooh! Congrats! Now let's wait and see if sales will improve. Regarding the novel, that's how most first drafts are. Mine was so bad I'd puke if I read it now. And that's what's so great about writing. You get to revise until you're satisfied with it enough to let other people read it.
greatnanacloset
@pakainin I will lower the bag if you are interested!🌹

@sfpatterson Will keep it in my favorites for now. :)

@pakainin Hi Joni !!! here's another pinay coming your way from Abilene, Texas, nice to meet you here on poshmark😊. I love your closet 😊💕💕💕
pakainin
@gmaddel @eddylin Hi to both of you!! :) I hope you're making lots of sales. Medyo mahina for me pag summer.
eddylin
Thank you for checking out my closet and for the shares, only one sale this month so far, my husband told me not to quit my day job lol... I still remember what my father says" di bale mura basta bilis benta 😅
pakainin
@eddylin Haha! Definitely not enough to quit a day job on. But things will hopefully improve. It usually is slow in the summer. I remember not selling anything at all last year. Mas mabuti-buti na rin ng konti this year.
eddylin
I probably should share more, but I only can do it at night , and checking on the news feed when I get a chance while at work 😅I hope you 're doing fine.PS: this page is getting full, you need another list like " kwentuhang pinay sa kanto" sobrang haba lol. Ok back to work I go.. ingat 😊💕💕💕
pakainin
@eddylin Sharing more definitely won't hurt. But prioritize sharing your own items so they show up on the searches. Ang haba na nga! Magbubukas ako ng sari-sari store para pwedeng mag-chismisan.
eddylin
😂I love it 😍

@pakainin This is surreal, we have a bunch of lovely Pinays here on PM.....Me too, I am a Pinay and I am based in Los Angeles.
Welcome to PM !!! You are in the know bec even when you are new in the U S, you are on PM and making friends .
I wish you the best. I am here for you as a PFF and friend. Mice to chance upon you and the other nice Pinays. God Bless.

@oakainin *nice
pakainin
@chic2fabulous Hello there, June! I found PM six months after moving here. I had been looking for a selling app for so long, even back in Manila, that I was overjoyed when I found out that PM exists. :)
chic2fabulous
@pakainin E bay is actually international and PM is not yet...It is amazing that they now allow men's and children's clothing.
Just enjoy, make friends and find amazing deals here ☺
Thank you for the response. Will reciprocate the Shares asap.
pakainin
@chic2fabulous Yeah, I thought e bay was my only option but I don't like the idea of a listing fee. I am on other selling sites that allow more kinds of stuff though so it's all good.
chic2fabulous
@pakainin Yes, e commerce has become a cottage industry. So many sites, but I like PM bec it is user friendly. The only thing I do not like is how small the font is.

@ginger_nj Welcome and thank you too! May we have lots of sales soon! :)
lfhrobinson
Thanks for the shares! If u don't mind me asking how did u get published. I also write :-)
pakainin
@lfhrobinson It was published in the Philippines, before I came to the US. I had help from my university. I think here, the traditional way is you will have to try to find an agent first.
lfhrobinson
Thanks for the info!
pakainin
@lfhrobinson No prob. :)

@pinayginger Hi there Mery!! I remember enjoying Ilocano food when we were in Ilocos Norte for a vacation. :) It's great to meet you here! :)
pakainin
@pinayginger I haven't attempted cooking pinakbet (or papaitan) yet but now I'm craving for some. Haha!
pakainin
@pinayginger Nope, it takes a lot to gross me out. I might one day attempt making pinakbet. I don't think I can ever make papaitan though. Haha! Will just have it when I'm visiting again. :)
pakainin
@pinayginger Uh oh. That might be a problem. Haha! Will proceed with caution. :)
pakainin
@pinayginger About an hour away yung Asian stores that sell Pinoy stuff. Ang mga malapit samin, puro Chinese products lang. Yeah, I do miss bagoong though so I might get one next time we go. Not sure lang kung gaano kalala ang amoy if I try to cook it.
pakainin
@pinayginger I'll try siguro a small serving the first time I make it. We'll see. Haha!
pakainin
@mandn67 Thanks so much! Your closet is great too! My book is a little hard to find because it was published overseas but some university libraries have it. I'm hoping more will get it. :)
pakainin
@mandn67 Hi! Here's the list of US libraries that carry it: http://www.worldcat.org/title/in-my-mothers-house/oclc/843859618. If the library is not a member of WorldCat, it's possible that they have it but it's just not showing. Maybe you can call them and ask. And if they don't have it, maybe you can request them to purchase a copy. :)

Hi Joni! Beautiful pictures & awesome closet. I was born in the Philippines, raised in Hawaii and now living in LA. So nice to meet other pinay poshers. @pakainin
pakainin
@hila808 Hey there! Thank you for the kind words. Oooh, I so loved Hawaii! Especially now that it's starting to get colder and colder here. LA sounds good too. Anywhere warm sounds good. Haha!

@pakainin thanks for the shares 👍
pakainin
@ggchilichi Cool! I hope you liked Manila. It's sometimes hard to, with all the traffic and pollution. Cebu is great too! I wish to go back and visit the beaches one of these days.
pakainin
@ggchilichi Traffic has worsened considerably since I left almost three years ago. Now that it's getting colder, I wish it were not that far! You're welcome on the shares. :)

Hi, I just read your page again and just realized you are a writer. How cool!
pakainin
@raetz Aww. Thank you! I haven't been writing for a while now though so a part of me feels like a fraud. Hehehe! You and your daughter are lovely!
raetz
@pakainin thanks! My cousin who is a writer (journalist, actually) back home in Manila too. I would love to read your work sometime. Will check out your blog. :)
pakainin
@raetz Thanks! Ooh, let me know if you'd like a copy of my novel. Or you can request your local library to get a copy. :)

@pokeydoll Hello! Sorry for the delayed response. It's so hard to find time these days with a three-month-old baby. Kumusta?
pokeydoll
@pakainin i know how it feels. Graduate na ako jan ... malalaki na ang mga anak ko.... as in 25 is my oldest and 21 is the youngest... ngayon nanny naman ang work ko so parang ganun din pero at the end of the day... feeling retired na ri. Ako hehehe... keep in touch... taga-PA pala ako.... God bless...

@seattlesale Hi there!! I saw you just had a new baby. Me too! Haven't been as active here since giving birth because she's such a handful.
seattlesale
@pakainin Congratulations! It's a journey of hard work but great rewards-I'm sure you already know that. I'm here for moral support if you need it! :)

miamare
Hi there! I’m from Manila too but a resident of Las Vegas now. I’m also a writer but I do corporate stuff and some creative writing on the side. Good to know there are a lot of Pinoys here. 😀
pakainin
@miamare Thank you for stopping by! I'm so sorry for such a delayed response. Yeah, I did (still kinda doing) corporate writing. It's rare to find someone who can make a living out of literary writing alone. I had always just did my creative writing on the side and always had a full time day job, which somehow involved writing too. For now, the full time job is my one-year-old so writing is still on the side.
pakainin
@bammadarla You're welcome! I enjoyed your closet too! :)

You're gorgeous, and what a beautiful family! 💗 Ty for the follow, def following back, can't wait to go thru your amazing closet!! (Getting ready to start setting up my own, just had first baby granddaughter ❣️, she's my whole world right now:) XOXO
pakainin
@1alc1977 Hi!! I'm so sorry it took me so long to respond. I wanted to as soon as I read your sweet message but my toddler distracted me and then I forgot and I only got to do it now because she's napping. But thank you for your sweet note. Congrats on your granddaughter! So much cuteness in your life right now, I'm sure! :)
edgygal
Hi, saw you liked a couple items in my closet. If you bundle I will give you a 20% discount.
pakainin
@edgygal Can't afford them yet. Someday, I hope.
edgygal
@pakainin If that is the case, I am willing to send them to you for a very low price. Bundle them and send what you can afford.
edgygal
No pressure though, only if you want.

@cynsational101 Thank you! I just complain about winter and the high cost of living all the time. Haha! Otherwise, it's all good. :)
cynsational101
@pakainin yeah everything is crazy expensive so Posh is great for cheap finds. I hate winter too but it goes pretty quick in my state Oklahoma. Glad your liking it here😊

@spreadlove Nice to meet you, Melissa! I'd certainly love to share your stuff. I will just have to warn you that I don't always have time as I'm caring for my 1.5 year-old daughter 24/7 so I couldn't posh as much as I used to. :)
