November 4 was declared as a National Holiday for the celebration of the end of Ramadan. It was officially November 3 but to give us a long weekend, it was moved to Friday. And so few days prior, I already planned to make it a "real" vacation. I meant, just give myself a short escape from the busy corporate world. I told my sister and mom last November 1 that we will go out that Friday and I told them about this new mall in Divisoria, the 168 where you can buy stuff at cheaper price.
So from Bulacan, they met me in Tutuban. I was surprised to see my dad and two pamangkins with them. You know Divisoria, not a good place for kids. It was lunch time and we decided to eat at Max's Tutuban. My good friend Reggie saved me from our bills when he paid our lunch, sort of his treat for my family.
After that we went on to 168. It was not surprising to see a lot of people there because you know, most of the busy people, once had the opportunity to shop-til-you-drop on a holiday, always go to a place where they could buy more for less. So there you go. I bought my sister a pair of glittering sandals, a frosted white teeny watch, a long necklace ( I don't know how you call it) with gems of different sizes and on shades of green and brown, while I got another watch for my little bro and a pair of sandals for my dad. Oh and three sun glasses too.
After that, I brought them in Gateway Cubao. It was their first time to go there and first time to ride the LRT2. =) It was almost 3:00 pm and so we had our snack at Gonuts Donuts.
My nephew JM (7 y/o) ,when we were still in 168, wants me to buy him pellet gun but we refused that could hurt other kids. But he does not want to go home without having something so he just went to the arcade and play.
After they went home, Reggie and I went to Megamall to meet Sol, his friend from UK to pickup some pasalubong from Jayde who is in UK. I love what Jayde gave me! I cute little pale of White Choco Malteser! Hhmmm...yumyum!
Hay, finally we head home 8ish. It was indeed a long Friday but I enjoyed it very much. I never had that bonding moment with my family before.
Oh and by the way, while we were in Divisoria, I saw my co-faculty making "barat" with the vendors there. hehehe. I saw Ma'am Marianne and Sir JX, and also Pam with her mom. My two COF were also there, Erlie and Naida, but didn't have the chance to meet them.
