SHOPPING DURING THE HOLIDAZE
So I went to tutuban mall and there were soooooooo many people! its incredible! i felt like i was in a mosh pit my head spun like crazy. but so many good buys around. i bought really sosyal blouses for 150-180, which normally sell for 400 in the malls. Pants for 170 that will PROBABLY sell for 500-800. an avocado bra for 20 pesos. there were pirated dvd players for 2800. i love divisoria/tutuban! it just really sucks when people swarm all over you like bugs.
i kept losing my folks whenever they cross the street because there would be a steady stream of people crossing and you'd have to wait for an opening (strangely like when you drive on EDSA during rushhour). People were constantly bumping me and men carrying boxes swung them around like they owned the stupid mall. i almost got bruises (good thing i got tough skin) but got mostly annoyed.
my mom lost her bag of bras (sadly, those werent the 20peso variety that i got) somewhere and after i ate the worst chicken of my life at the foodcourt, we looked for some more clothes, dealt with those annoying taiwanese sellers & their busangot salespeople. Then we went home. I was pretty happy with my purchases.
But very tired. Tutuban really drains your blood.
HOW I SPENT MY XMAS AND ALL THE PRESENTS I GOT:
What presents? hehehe. Got bags bags and mostly bags. And jewelry. Shyet, wala na bang maisip ang mga tao? Bakit hindi nila tinignan ang blog ko?? Kelangan ko din pala ng bagong mouse! hehehe Tsaka speakers ni clang ang gamit ko!
I love the presents I gave out though. I think it should be a rule: you cant just buy things cause you think they will like it or they will need it no matter how ugly it is. You have to like what you're giving out also.
If you're giving clothes, it should look somwhat presentable, cause you're gonna be hanging out with this person. you wouldnt want him/her to look like s*** when you walk down the streets together, now would you?
Kung wala siyang style, bigyan mo this xmas, diba? I'm confident enough to know ive enough style (and im kinda practical too) that people will like what I give them. If I do recycle some gifts, I recycle the nice ones & make sure the not so nice ones are given to those who WOULD appreciate them. I would never give (or recycle a gift & give) my mother something in neon for example, because its so bleh and my mom and i go out a lot. Like most moms, her taste is a little misguided (nasobrahan sa hippie days) so I make sure I give her something even I would wear. All us girl kids are mommys personal pro-bono fashion consultant (and vice versa). Least we can do for them.
