errands day

first of all, let me just tell you how much i hate the fact that the start of my day depends on when the malls open. i just don't really like starting my day at 10am. that said, let me give you a full report about what happened today. not that you would care of course.

as i have said, my day started at 10am because that is when the malls open. personally, if i have business to attend to, i prefer that it starts as early as possible so i finish all of it as early as possible as well. anyway, the day started with me buying a new sling bag which i find rather cool and also very cheap. it's big enough to accommodate my bulky wallet (which reminds me why i hate wallets), my phones, earbuds, keys, and loose change. not too big though that it would bother me when i am walking around. i prefer sling bags over any other kind of bags actually. it's practical for me because i don't have to put it down or remove it from my body when i sit somewhere. this way, i can keep an eye on my valuables without looking paranoid.

after buying the bag i went back to downtown area and passed by an ukay-ukay store that sells shoes. i am really planning to buy shoes so i looked around. i happen to see this nice pair which fits me perfectly and only costs less than my budget for the shoes that i was planning to buy. i am not particular with brands and not really fond of buying expensive shoes and clothes (or anything for that matter) so when i fit the shoes and my heart whispered ""sole-mate" i told the attendant right away that i am going to buy it. it was supposedly Php200 but i asked the attendant if i can have it for Php150 and he said yes. then when i paid, he did not have loose change so he gave it to me for Php 140.  hallelujah! thank God for ukay-ukay!

with the bag and the shoes crossed out from my checklist, i proceeded to SM to buy a sling for my phone. true to its name, xperia mini is so small it is quite hard to keep track of it sometimes. i am a very clumsy and careless person and if i don't pay much attention this phone will end up scratched/damaged or lost. so i went and buy my phone a sling.

three down, one more errand and i can go to Robinsons Mall and have our flight itinerary printed and off to slumberland!

unfortunately, i already went to all the malls and cellphone centers in the city and i couldn't find a battery for my xperia. i want to buy a genuine sony ericsson accessory since fake ones usually damage the phone and it will not be covered by the warranty. i've been looking for a genuine SE battery but so far, i found none. if i have the time i will look for one when i go to baguio next week. might find something there.

anyway, having all my errands done i went to another mall to have our flight itinerary printed. nothing unusual or embarrassing happened. i did, however, found myself buying things that were not in my checklist. story of my life. they were things i need anyway so doesn't really matter. at least i did not end up buying another whiteboard again.

the cool beetle.

speaking of whiteboard, i saw this really cool Volkswagen beetle earlier on my way to buy the bag. the doors were made of whiteboard and it has signatures and messages from a lot of people. i took a photo of it but it wasn't a really nice shot since i had to take the photo as fast as i can. it was really cool. i would love to shake the hands of whoever owns that beetle.

and so that was it. i spent more or less three hours in that errand and now i have nothing to do. my bag is packed. everything is accounted for. now all i have to do is wait for friday. let's hope to God the weather will be nice until i get back.
