Online Shopping as an Alternative to Traditional Purchases

Internet shopping has become a viable alternative to going to physical stores, for getting our household supplies and other goods. A credit card is usually used to pay for online purchases, including other payment services like Pay Pal. Now, other options like direct transfers from your bank or Cash on Delivery is available if you don’t have credit or ATM card.

There are many online shops that sell a variety of goods online, you can find almost any item that you are looking for. Most online stores will have a variety of goods that might be of obscure interest.

Now, is it for you? Can internet shopping make a difference, in how you buy all that is needed? Will it save you money and time, does it improve management and other relevant daily activities. Even if online shopping is available even without a credit or atm debit card, or it saves time going to your neighborhood grocery or supermarket, others prefer to go buying their own goods themselves.

The reckoning. A review.

The premise of the exhibit is fondly called “Balat ng Mani”, which was coined in the formative years in The College Of Fine Arts during 1991 to 1994. It may seem trite the term using the peanut shell as analogy for the works produced by this group of students, considering that many embraced methodologies from post-modern, modernism, formalism and other isms acquired during this period as students.

To note a significant fact about this particular group of individuals, during this period the UP CFA just transferred to the new building, which to the writer’s opinion produced a psyche of being wholly independent from its former residence and finally a home to express who and what they are.

To expand on the “Balat ng mani”, it simply means a shell to clothe the artwork made, balat means skin that is the malleable layer of the thought and intent, to the final form presented by artist. If clichés are observed and interjected into the definition, it is normal for art to take such forms which is subject the plurality of “ART”.
