Addressing the press, Vice described her habit of doing her shopping in the eleventh hour.
She said, "Lagi akong last minute. Lagi akong last-minute shopping.
"Tapos, may listahan din naman ako. May listahan ako ng mga kailangan kong bigyan.
"Kasi may mga, di ba, meron kang mga kakila na pag hindi mo na bigyan, yung kailangan...
"Saka tapos bihira mo lang magbigyan, kaya gusto mo nang bigyan sa mga panahon na yun, di ba?
"Yung iba naman, may mga katulong kasi ako. May mga staff ako na binibigay ko na sa kanila ang listahan, tapos sila yung naghahanap, di ba?
"Nahahanap nila sa Shopee, di ba, so napi-prepare na nila from Shopee...mga iba-ibang pang-regalo."
Taking on a more hands-on approach, Vice disclosed personally visiting physical stores occasionally.
"Yung iba naman, ako yung personal na bumibili. Nagpupunta ako sa mall pag ano, mga, um, December 24, ganyan.
"Lagi, lagi, December 24, nasa mall ako bago mag-noche buena," she emphasized, causing everyone in the room to laugh.
VICE GANDA, AN IMPULSIVE BUYER?
When asked whether she saw herself as an impulsive buyer, Vice admitted, sighing, "Yeah..."
She elaborated, "Impulsive buyer, kasi one, I do not have the luxury of time na yung lagi kang lumalabas kaya marami kang nakikita.
"So bihira lang akong lumabas at makapag-shopping. Kaya pag nakita ko na, bibilhin ko na kasi hindi ko na alam kung kailan ko siya makikita ulit."
As for her most recent purchase from the online shopping marketplace, she shared it was a bunch of cosmetic-related items.
"False eyelashes at saka contact lenses. Yun ang huli kong binili sa Shopee.
"E, alam niyo naman ako, hindi ako maka-awra kung hindi patong-patong ang pilik-mata ko.
"Nakakaubos ako agad kaya buti nalang, andaming pilik-mata na available...kaya naman grab lang ako nang grab."
