Little Shopping in Southmall..

I was chatting with my cousin during lunch because my other cousin is going to the US for a talk on May 6 (sponsored by his school -Philippine Science High School) Galing! Im a proud cousin here! Since he is scheduled to meet with our relatives, my cousin in the US request something that can be found in the National Bookstore.

At around 2pm, i went to SM Southmall to buy the book requested by my cousin. Hubby told me that Southmall is sale but when i arrive it is not the mallwide sale, what makes it full of people is because of Piolo Pascual. He was having mall tour for his album. I texted hubby that im going home late because i want to see Papa P and while waiting, i bought all the needed stuff and went around.

When its time for Piolo to sing in the crowd, i hurriedly went to the activity center just to see Piolo, sobrang daming tao and super gwapo ni Piolo. I was enjoying that time because of the song that Piolo sang when hubby texted me:

Hubby's first text..

I didn't reply at first, after a couple of minutes, he texted again!

Hubby's second text...

Kahit labag sa loob kong umuwi that time at kahit enjoy pa ko looking at Papa P, i have no choice but to go home.

After dinner, i took the photos of what i bought in Southmall.

Latest book of Bob Ong

This is the request of my cousin. It is one of her collection since i dont remember.

 

Tagalog Pocketbooks

Its for me and the yaya. Pampalipas oras! haha.. corny na kung corny.

 

Havaianas Flip-flops for Hubby

It was his bilin because his flip-flops was already torn. He was using his old flip-flops inside the house.

 

Sayang hindi sya sale.

 

Flojos flip-flops for me

I dont want havies na because the quality is not that good anymore. Currently, i am using Ipanema and i bought this Flojos to try and its really soft and comfy, Hubby said sana Flojos na lang binili ko for him.

Flojos in SM Southmall is having sale at almost 40%.

I got mine at P700.00 only from the price of P1,095.00

My little shopping wouldn't be complete without these:

 

Meiji chocolates..

and Hubby's deodorant spray.

 

That's how my little shopping goes... I was happy today that i got to see Papa Piolo in person.

Fast Food: Niknok Manok

First time to see Niknok Manok fast food chain in the metro and its like Mang Inasal. When i saw this outlet, i want to give it a try and i had my lunch there when im in the Isetann Mall.

the facade

If you’re like someone who’s heavy on the rice and looking at affordable food, then Niknok Manok sounds better deal to you than eating somewhere else.

the Menu Board

Just like in other food chains, Niknok Manok has package meals also that makes it easier to order.

This is where you're going to order. Upon entering the fast food chain, you'll see the counter already. Since its new to me, i asked the counter lady about their best seller and i ordered it.

I settled to my assigned table and wait for my order. I took some pics for my blog.

The view from my place.

Condiments..

My order

Sizzling chicken with gravy. This is their best seller, priced at P99.00. The gravy is good and you can still ask for some more. Sizes of the chickens are pretty much similar to other fast food chain servings chickens. The red lime tea that i ordered tastes like the red tea from Tokyo-Tokyo.

Why settle for something expensive when you can get more with a cheaper deal, right?

Recto and Quiapo day.

I was tasked by my relatives in the US to go to Recto and get something they need. I seek help again from my officemates on how to go to Recto by public transportation because it was my first time going there. I was really scared thinking of Recto because i heard a lot from it.

Yesterday was my available time and i leave the house at 8:30am, rode the bus going to Buendia then LRT to D. Jose. At first i was thinking of another way (fx to Lawton then Jeep to Quiapo) but since the best and fastest way going to Recto is the LRT, i decided to go by LRT.

at the LRT

When i am in the LRT, i was looking around because there are a lot of things happened recently in LRT and im thinking of those things like what if it happens again, what am i going to do? Parang nakakatakot nang sumakay ng LRT.

When i arrived in D. Jose, hindi ako nagpahalata na first timer sa Recto, mahirap na. I walked along the street and asked some people on how to get to Isetann (as instructed by my officemate). When on my way to Isetann i walked to this long street and is scares me to death because that long street was squatters area and there are lots of tambay there. I walked as fast as i could and almost run just to get out of that street and when im near the Isetann, i did my purpose there and according to the girl i talked to, i have to stay and wait to a safe place and that is in Cebuana but since Isetann is very near, i decided to wait there.

FYI. This area is full of bystander offering service for fake license, certificates, diplomas etc. There are lots of policemen around the Recto area.  According to other people, these policemen are waiting and looking for prospect na mahuhuli then hihingan ng pera. Tsk. Tsk. Only in the Philippines!

When im in the Isetann, i had my lunch there (on my next post) and lurk around the mall. I find myself going to Expressions. It is like National Bookstore but no textbooks, only other stuff. And for those looking for some party favors if you have Cars, Princess, Tinkerbell, Fairies, Thomas and friends, barbie, princess theme, i found all of them here.

Here are some photos:

Cars

Thomas and Friends

It is complete from tumblers to plate etc... There are also toys that you can get there.

Princess, Barbie, Tinkerbell etc...

I finished my errands in Recto at around 1:30pm. After that i asked some people again on how to go to Quaipo church because i want to go there. And i am surprised that its just a meters away from the Isetann mall, i walk again going to Quaipo.. I find it interesting going to Quiapo from Recto.

I attend the mass at Quiapo and went at the back of the church to go sight-seeing. When cousin Bing is still working in PLDT as Operations Manager, he sometimes go their office in Sampaloc and drop by here in Quiapo to attend mass and bought some veggies for their home.

I went to this sidewalk vendor selling veggies and i bought some for our house. After buying some veggies, i decided to go home.

What a tiring day yesterday. What did you do yesterday?
