As discussed during one of the earliest lectures in class, the Internet isn't restricted to entertainment and social networking purposes only. It can be a source for a lucrative business venture sans the (sometimes) huge capital to begin with. Here's a round - up of some of the quirkiest, price - friendliest, and most practical and functional finds online! : ) 1. Bookay - Ukay https://www.facebook.com/bookayukay/

As the name suggests, Bookay - Ukay is an 'ukay - ukay' (thrift store) for books! For all the book lovers, this quaint book shop located along the streets of Maginhawa is home to the cheapest books, magazines, CD's and comics! By cheap, these items can go as low as Php 10 only - practically a steal!! 2. Shmallows https://www.facebook.com/shmallowsph/ http://shmallowsph.com/

S'mores, Rocky Roads, marshmallows in hot chocolates, marshmallow frosting - why not a marshmallow spread? Yes, this unique spread is getting to be quite popular among its local customer base, especially for kids. Could this be the new Speculoos? Only one way to find out - try out the three flavors available: Vanilla, Strawberry, or Cookies n' Shmallows for that marshmallow fix you're craving for! 3. Artwine http://shopartwine.com/

All things pretty and functional - in felt. Who says felt is only for toys? At Artwine, charming felt pieces are converted into pouches, purses, bookmarks, pencil cases, laptop covers/cozies and many more! 3. Swanlake Accessories https://www.facebook.com/swanlakeaccessories

From their tagline, "Elegenace need not be expensive", this online shop caters to women who shops with a conscience. With their extensive line of affordable and quality accessories like statement necklaces, bracelets/bangles and earrings, who would not want to buy accessories like these? 4. Ichigo Shoes https://www.facebook.com/ichigoshoes

Cheap + Comfortable + Extensive line of shoes + Numerous cute designs? YES PLEASE. Ichigo Shoes has a range of shoes - flats, sandals, brogues, wedges, etc. (you name it, they have it!) that are perfect for both day and nights out! 5. Copper https://www.facebook.com/shopcopper http://www.shopcopper.com/

While it is hard to find quality pieces, especially in clothing, Copper "offers a variety of hand selected pieces that satiate your every fashion craving" and makes available interesting finds through its variety of clothing and accessories, ranging from tops, skirts, shorts, dresses, etc. I just dare you to look through their albums of vintage inspired clothing and not fall in love with their trendy pieces. 6. Subcult https://www.facebook.com/thesubcultproject

What makes Suncult's line so unique is the fact that their designs are so bold, loud, unusual and eye - catching - never mind that they are selling tops, skirts, dresses, shorts and tote bags just like any other online clothing store, but the fact that they invest in the designs make their line so popular. 7. Sugar Rush Lab http://sugarrushlab.wordpress.com/

Presenting 'Gold Member', a Ferrero Rocher inspired cupcake with a special Nutella frosting. 'Nuff said. 8. Soak Swimwear https://www.facebook.com/pages/Soak-Swimwear/4743694144 http://soak-swimwear.myshopify.com/
