Over the past two years, Pinoys fell in love with the ease and convenience of online shopping. Aside from providing a wide array of essentials, online shopping can also serve as a fun break from reality. Window shopping can be quite an addictive adventure, especially during big sales such as Shopee’s extended 12.12 Big Christmas Sale, since there are so many deals to enjoy! With just a few taps on our phones, we can buy everything we want and need. Sometimes, however, we don’t have the budget to fund all our budol purchases. As much as we love to check out our whole cart this Payday sale, most of us know all too well the frustration of realizing we don’t have enough money to spare for all the items in our carts—a feeling up-and-coming artist geiko can also relate to.
geiko, a local artist, recently released a new single titled “Oh no I’m on Shopee again.” The relatable lyrics and undeniably catchy tune will definitely be our go-to song to play while scrolling through Shopee. Here are 5 lyrics from “Oh no I’m on Shopee again” that every Shopee suki can relate to:
There are so many things I want to buy
But I’m broke, so I stare at my phone and cry
It’s difficult to resist adding to cart after watching Shopee hauls and stumbling across Shopee budols online. But we can only dejectedly stare at the pile of items sitting in our carts, impatiently waiting until the next big sale.
My mama tells me to buy only the things that I need
Who hasn’t gone on Shopee to buy one thing and ended up checking out five other items? It’s like falling down a fun rabbit hole filled with products from different categories and thousands of brands on Shopee Mall. geiko’s mom—and our own parents, for that matter—may be right, but we can’t miss the chance of buying cute stuff at such affordable prices.
My ShopeePay balance is zero, sometimes even a piso
There’s no greater disappointment than when you realize you’ve used up all your money. After shopping sprees, our e-wallets are often left with little to zero balance. To help save on your purchases, use ShopeePay for even more perks, such as free shipping, cashback, and more.

Since 2017, geiko has been making waves on YouTube with her covers and original songs, gaining thousands of subscribers in the process. A self-taught musician, geiko got into music at three years old and started writing songs at just six years old, and eventually started uploading covers on YouTube. She finds creative inspiration from musicians of all genres, from OPM legends like APO Hiking Society and Eraserheads to K-Pop superstars. She describes her own music style as “something that makes you want to stare into nothingness, jump and dance around in public without the fear of judgement, or cry in the bathroom.” Though shy, geiko loves performing. “I love seeing reactions to my music. It makes me happy that people can relate to my music,” she shares.
“Oh no I’m on Shopee again" might just be her most relatable one yet. She shares that since window shopping is one of her favorite ways to pass the time, browsing Shopee is akin to falling into a rabbit hole. She constantly finds more and more items she wants to check out. The app serves as her one-stop shop for school, art, and music essentials and so much more. “I love anything cute, like bags that look like a loaf of bread and a chicken, or items that have animals on it. I look for glasses too, it’s becoming quite a collection for me. I also look for art materials, music equipment, and other things that can improve my work flow. Right now I’m eyeing new keyboards, both for typing and for making music,” she says.
As she was scrolling through the app one day, she realized she couldn’t afford any of the items on her wishlist. But she didn’t just “stare at my phone and cry.” She actually went ahead and wrote a song about it, finishing the lyrics in one go and recording the song on the same day. The quirky lyrics, narrated in geiko’s soft, smooth voice, takes listeners through a fun, colorful world of “radishes, froggies, cow printed trimmed candies… music things and stationary” — just a few of the items on geiko’s budol wishlist. Speaking of budols — when it comes to them, geiko abides by just one rule: “If may gusto ka, add to cart mo. If ‘di ka makatulog kakaisip, check out mo na ‘yan!”
