I don’t believe it; Christmas season is really here. Actually I only felt it when I did my first shopping a while ago. I went to three different venues to shop for my friends and family, and with a tight budget, I really had a hard time finding the best finds for them. Thank God! I went home with my mind still intact.
Ok for my first stop, Glorietta in Makati City for my posh friends. Huh! One perfume, one bag and two blouses, not bad and it cost almost 7k, if not only these people are close to me, I wouldn’t spend this much! God! Off to my next stop!
After 3 grueling hours of shopping in Glorietta, I went to Greenhills shopping center in San Juan. Actually, it feels like heaven to be back in this place again. Ever since this place is my comfort zone. I know exactly where to find the things I want to buy since my parents used to bring me here whenever I need something when I was still a kid. Ok enough of that, back to my shopping expedition, it took me about an hour to buy everything I needed. Hmm…a pair of shoes, a bag, a polo shirt for my employees, a toy for my pamangkins and of course a brand new pants and shirt for me. I also was able to check on the camera that I was planning to buy. Well, by Christmas I’m hoping that I could bring that Canon camera home. Huh, had enough? I’m not done yet!
Last stop, SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City. I bought 1 case of beer in can, three red wines, one bed sheet, 2 pillowcases, gift wrappers, 1 cellphone and 3000 worth of grocery for my Noche Buena, alone! Great! I’m off to great start. Not bad, for this large amount of money spent in one day. God, I have nothing left, thank God I still have my salary for next week to survive another 2 weeks before the New Year. Anyway, it’s not all about the amount of money I’ve spent. I just want to make these people around me happy. With these little gifts, I’m sure I can see their smiles once again as I face another Christmas day alone
