my cubao adventure

Monday, May 02, 2005
(haha, ang corny ng title)

mom, kuya, ate carla, guwapo matt, and melay went to tagaytay. dad is at work (at casa medica, all the way in zapote). and i'm here at home. home alone. sigh. i really wanted to go with them (mom, et al), but there was a meeting with the PR Committee regarding the org tours.

the meeting was at 11am this morning and it lasted for only an hour (or less). i didn't want to go home yet, since no one was there! so (kuya) victor, (ate) chette, (ate) mayan, (ate) jenica, and i ate at jabee. as usual i ordered the same meal. (ate tish, hulaan mo kung ano!)

after that, i went to gateway mall. actually, i was supposed to go to shang, but when i reached araneta center-cubao, i decided that i'll just go to gateway (there were several benefits kasi, like i didn't have to ride the jeep all the way to shang, and ride another jeep pauwi.. if i went to gateway, i'd just ride the train again.. BUT it cost more). my ultimate goal was to find a national bookstore, because i need to buy a hallmark card. (oo, kailangan hallmark! maarte ako.) but before i found the national, i had several stop-overs. plus, i didn't know where to find the national bookstore there!

so i searced for the store all over the vicinity (hindi naman all over cubao, sa vicinity lamang ng gateway, meaning sa loob ng gateway hanggang sa palibot nito). after a while (actually, medyo matagal rin), i finally saw the store! woohoo! i felt so happy when i saw their red sign, and i entered the store feeling that i found sanctuary. hahaha.

i only had a few bucks in my pocket, so i felt soooo frustrated when i saw all those books on sale. i saw this one title and i liked it so much, but it cost Php300!! waah. i only had P260. oh well. national bookstore-cubao is soooo nice! i like it!!! it's now one of my favorite places in the world! it's so big (ate rose said it's the biggest branch)! wheee.

i bought the card which i had to buy, by the way.

haaay.
kita mo na, gagawin ko ang lahat para sa iyo. now all i have to do is write the letter.

the best talaga ang national bookstore, oh di ba endorser..miss ko nga yan store na yan, kasi all in one..dito individual stores, example, cards - Hallmark(you'll love this store); books - Chapters(similar to PowerBooks); supplies - Staples(super laking tindahan ng crayons)...3 stores ++ ang equivalent ng National dito.
