After a Few Month's of Not Posting

After a few month's of not posting. Quite a few things have happened. The christmas sale came by, not as fast as the end of season sale of Mango last Jan. followed by rockwel's sale including the hot new store Zara. With our current economy right now. Not a lot of people had the extra cash to shell out. You can notice this with the extentions of christmas sales, and that for the first time in my life the traffic is bearable to the point that when I pass by mega mall at 1am, there was no traffic. No people standing in line staying or standing on the other side of the street, hands full of shopping bags hoping to get a cab. Even with the mall extention hours. Nobody was there. It just didn't feel like christmas. But who am I to say.

The new year came lousy as it usually is. Manila hotel wasn't even able to provide a proper countdown band. Hahaha.
But the night life at Greenbelt is unbelievable. The place was crowded by 1am and jam packed by 2.

The end of season sale wasn't that interesting 'til the end of Jan to Feb, the prices went down, thirty percent off on make-up's that never had a discount that big came. The vat was taking a toll on everyone. We had to count how much the item is and how much we actually are spending. A 12% hike was increased to all food and shopping establishment. Which ment that were no longer cheaper than Singapore nor we can say that "our prices are the same as the U.S" ( as far as cosmetics and clothing go ).

So, as for the year. We can expect a lot of sales and alot of increase, on prices that is.

Happy Shopping!
