Extra Post #3: back (11월27일17년)
a concrete jungle post (lol)
I started this already at 12:10 A.M., because I’m still at my hype state even if we need to go already at 8:30 P.M. and wale up at 7:00 A.M. (another sleepless night with me). I danced to Red Velvet’s Peek-A-Boo to EXO’s Power (that’s how energetic I am). But anyways I passed out at 12:30 P.M.
I took a bath at 7:30 P.M., and got already done and on the road at around 9:40 P.M. Our first destination at was at Dau, Pampanga at around 10:40 A.M. My father bought an air gun scope for the first destination and it costs at a bit of a hefty price.
Fast forward to 11:03 A.M. where we got to the mall that we’re going to. Before we went inside the mall, I already said to my mom that I’m already hungry (even if we were still on the road because I didn’t ate breakfast today — you don’t want a food a fighter to get grumpy and irritable right? just joking lol). We first start to go at variety store in the mall to buy different things and stuff for our house (like I get it, we like to buy stuff but it is a need rather than a want). We had an early lunch at a smorgasbord place in the mall to get started early on the shopping. The menu of the smorgasbord place is all good and easy so I got my money’s worth fortunately (a food fighter has summoned I’m sorry).
I started shopping on our Monito Monita which is a well-known Christmas Filipino tradition. The names or codenames are written in pieces of paper and you’ll give a gift to whoever the person you got. The gift may vary in different categories such as something sweet, memorable, long etc. I bought a hand cream to the person that I’ll give and it’s the same scent that I use which is the Green Tea one (yaaaaas my fave!).
We went inside the department store to buy (again) stiff and things for our house (shop till we drop kind of thing — I’m sorry). My dad bought a shirt and my mom bought polo shirts for themselves. As we ventured out in the department store, we left our father to the lounge to let him rest for the whole walking. We went to buy clothes at two fashion retail stores but the one is usually for tops and the other one being for bottoms. The thing when I shop for clothes is that I want bigger and breathable in any way but I can be very meticulous when picking since I like Asian fashion rather than the Western one. Japanese fashion is a lot more reserved and “chill” while Korean fashion tends to be more trendy, creative and experimental in a certain way (one example is that dress shoes DON’T go with jeans and your bottoms shouldn’t be scrunched up by the shoes that you’re wearing). I bought two tops and a bottom and that’s about it since I’m very particular with my fashion.
We picked up my dad from the lounge at around 2:30 P.M., and he felt rejuvenated from his sleep. We got into our car and went to a duty free to buy some imported goods (most especially chocolates and chips) and drive thru in McDonalds after. I cracked up since the roads of the shop we went is so quiet and there are just few to no cars passing by us (weekday shopping is the best since there aren't a lot of people — the smell of introvert-ness).
At around 4:25 P.M., we got to the exit toll gates and it was clearly traffic because it was a long line of waiting cars. We went to one of my cousin’s house that is bring renovated to make it new. Their progress makes me happy because it is all coming together perfectly (me is very enthusiastic with achievements of other people whether small or big).
We drove back home at already 5:35 P.M. and rested for a good 40 minutes before we ate dinner. And you can check the vlog here!
