Shopping in Baguio

There’s an advanced notice that there’s going to be a fire drill in the hotel at 12 noon so I made sure I am out of the room by then.

It’s such a beautiful day here in Baguio. Sunny but pleasant temperature. Sarap!

Driver Deo has a perfect timing, when I want to go out, that’s the time he wants to eat.

I walked instead to the parking area just in front of the hotel. I saw the van but he’s not there so I instructed the hotel security to inform Deo where I would be going.

These drivers were making tsismis about their bosses.
Driver #1—— “Si Boss Bebot, merong bagong bata”.
Driver #2—— “alaga na naman siguro yan”.
Driver #3—— “Alam kaya ni esmi?”
Driver#1—— “hendi segoro”.

As I walked past this bamboo trees, there were two women talking with very loud voices. The tsismosa in me because curious, saan ba galing yung boses

“Sir Edward, kunin mo na lang ako…”

I walked to the cluster called Commissarry.

Masarap mag shopping dito. Kasi 70% off.

I was told by the sales lady that these are export overruns from the Philippines, Vietnam and from other Asian countries.

Polo Ralph Lauren baseball caps

Tori burch rubber sandals

There’s a section devoted to Hollister, but the sizes are more for young teens and slim adults.

I want to get one for my son but they only have L and XL

Nice Puma for guys. I want to bring my son here next time.

Paul Smith is an expensive brand. Original price of this is $200. I amn ot sure how much they sell this at the Paul Smith store in Greenbelt 5.

Guys, who wants Versace briefs?

colorful Avon bra

I need one but the sizes are only XS or XL.

P250 polo shirt

I need a new luggage. I think it’s better to have flashy color to easily identify and spot from the conveyor.

It’s still expensive even with the 15% off.
“Miss, ‘san gawa ito”
mam, Italy yan. Benetton

Italy?
How come it says “Produced and distributed UNDER LICENSE….”
pihado China yan.

The rubber slippers have become so glamourized and expensive. Nung araw, isang hitsura lang nito. Unless I could prove that my pair of disipit is broken beyond repair, my father would not buy me a new pair.

People are so spoiled nowadays, we enjoy many designs and colors. I have a japek P50 Ralph Lauren with roses.

I thought of buying a pack for $35 but changed my mind. I only want one color and would not be able to use the others. It would come out expensive.

I saw a nice cotton dress worn by the mannequin. According to the sales lady that’s one and only.
Miss pwedeng paki tanggal para maisukat ko?
Yes mam.

The cotton shirt- like material clings to my corrugated stomach. Ang sagwa. Sayang. Maganda from my waist up and from my hips down. From my navel to my hips, nakaka dismaya.
Miss, thank you, masikip.

I felt so discouraged after that fitting. It really dampened my self-esteem. I look so bad.
Let me get some pasalubong. Strawberry jams P100 for 3

Peanut brittle

I paid P500 flat for all the stuff

Ay, maganda ito. kumot ba ito?
Sales guy—— ” Hindi, blanket”

He didn’t mind because I bought pasalubong. Other tourists just go in and pose without buying.

My phone is ringing…Edmund is calling….
Hello ‘tart asan ka?
I’m shopping here, across the hotel.
Yung susi?
Ay sorry, nadala ko, ipadala ko kay Deo.
Deo, dalhin mo kay sir, maglakad ka na lang, bilisan mo.
Hello ‘tart, wag mo ng papuntahin dito si De0, ipapabuksan ko na lang room .
Ay, nadyan na sya.

After 15 minutes, Edmund showed up at the store.
Hi, what are you doing?
I’m trying on clothes.
