Sunday out

My daughter flew to LA to be with her high school friend Therese.  So I am left with my son.   We went back to Island Pacific again.  I made him drive instead although I was nervous.  Visitors are allowed to drive for two weeks, just bring your Philippine driver’s license and passport.

I like the wide roads and no billboards

 

It's more relaxing to drive
Trees are everywhere
We bought melon juice $1.20 per cup

 

LV buying kakanin

 

There's a stall inside the supermarket selling bags, True or False?

We went to Southland Mall,  walking distance from Aileen’s house.  So many people today kasi it’s weekend.  About 20 years ago,  this mall was frequented by white people.  Ngayon,  all I see are Asians, Latinos and Blacks.

Southland has Macy’s, JCPenny, Sears plus the smaller shops like Forever 21, Ross, etc.  There used to be a small bookstore but they closed shop which made me really sad.  I always bought something from that bookstore whenever I visited this mall.

 

I loved this but my son said they looked luma na.

$199.99 comforter set (not including the pillows) by Cindy Crawford for JCPenny
I buy curtains from JCPenny

 

Baskets made of chinese newspaper. Meron din nito sa atin. Pero China exports theirs.

 

Remember I am attracted to chickens? I almost bought this, but I didn't like her tails.
Before, all religious images were from Italy and Spain. Now, all are from China.
I bought one piece of glass picture frame for $4.99 + 9.75% tax but I queued-up for 15 minutes.
This is not me. This' the lady ahead of me.

 

My son and I bought yogurt, haba ng pila

 

Maraming batang pinaglalaruan yung dispenser, gusto kong pagalitan pero baka awayin ako ng mga magulang.

 

healthy daw ito? duda ako.

 

They charge by the weight, I paid $9.52 for the two of us, naparami yata kuha namin. The $10.48 is the sukli. Here in the US, stores are always ready to give sukli up to the last cent. Hindi paris sa Pilipinas, ang daming palusot ng mga tindera, laging kulang ang mga sukli. Ni ra-round-off pa to the nearest 25 or 50 centavos. Pagbibili tayo hindi naman pwede kulang ang bayad. Madadaya.
