It's a common practice, or should I say, a required routine for people to go shopping, especially during the holiday season - Christmas and New Year. And I admit, this year has been a grand shopping experience for me.
Let's just say that I have been to three-days shopping spree, one before Christmas and two before the celebration of a brand new year. I'm not bragging that I have the MONEY and the TIME to do this kind of thing. I'm just spending what money I've saved for the past months. Yes, money I patiently stashed in my wallet, controlling myself not to spend it otherwise. So what's with shopping? Many people love to do this stuff, and I'm not included. Actually, I do shopping whenever my wallet and schedule permit me to do so! Those will be when I need some stuff, as in NEEEEEEEED them badly that I have to ask my Mom to accompany me to the nearest mall. Beside those circumstances, I do not favor going to the mall regularly. Really. But I still like looking at the dresses and the bags and the shoes and the sandals. Ohhhhkay. I must admit I still like shopping, as long as it won't take me too long to stroll inside the mall.
And now that the season is back, more people are swarming inside the mall just to get their hands on the year-end sale. Too many people are flocking in, their money in tow and a long list of things to buy. Well, you can't blame them. It has been an insistent fact that they must have new stuff, especially circular things when the break of another year comes in. Homes must be sparkly clean and the table is filled with delicious feast. You won't know who's coming over to eat and chat!
As for me, my shopping experience is fun. I bought a lot, much to my expectations - bags, sandals, tops, shorts, dresses. Thanks to my savings, I had pull it all through. Still, I kept in mind to buy a simple gift for my Mom, for her wondrous efforts. She sweetly asked for it, though, I just can't say NO of course!
And yes, even if still there are people who can't shop till they drop, including me, let's not forget the values of sharing and saving. It's never a huge responsibility to give something to someone. And it's a good thing to save, for whatever future's has in you.
So, are you ready to do more shopping? :)

a new shopping experience
it was my very first time to go shopping in divisoria.we decided to check out 168 (building which houses many stores inside), since we have heard of many things about the place.many say that there are beautiful wardrobe apparel to see in affordable prices.so we went there.
at first, i didn't expect that 168 would be like that.we went in and many mini-stores came into view, selling different items, from clothes to shoes, jewelries to bags, and a lot more.i had a list in mind of stuff that i would be glad to buy if i find them in 168 acceptable to my tastes. so we roamed around the place, trying out some clothes, slipping into different shoes and going back ang forth, picking what has a reasonable price and fits us the most.
when we were hungry, we chose to stop to eat lunch, which was already passed twelve and went for a tour around the shops a little more.finally, we decided to leave the place. i had bought a short, leggings, two tops, a pair of doll shoes and an overall top. i am contented.
but then again, it's not yet time to go home.when we went out, it was drizzling and my mother had to buy something yet.so we walked on the muddy street crowded with a lot of people, finding that shop selling baby stuff. and at last, after hoursd of shopping, we let our weary bodies, especially feet came to rest, as we rode on a jeepney taking us to our next destination, nearer home. i was sleepy all throughout the travel and my head was falling down involuntary, hitting the shoulder of the person next to me in the jeepney.so embarassing.
an hour later, we were back home.we tried out the clothes and shoes we bought and was happy for the good results of our tiring shopping experience.
hope to come back there again one day.save money first for me, since almost all my money was spent.hahaha.
