Wonder Women

Olive and I started the day at 1030 yesterday. It was originally planned that we leave the apartment for Divisoria at 10. However, I was too lazy to move and was also finishing a book. So, I ended waking Olive up at 945. As it was a Sunday, we were very sluggish in our movements, plus the summer heat didn't help.

We decided to take the car and parked it in Chinatown. From Chinatown, we first had brunch, then off we went to Divisoria, walking along the back streets to get to Divisoria Mall. We got a bunch of cleaning stuff (mops, sponges, dish cleanser, etc.) for under PhP500.00! Things that, if bought in the department store will cost around three times as much.

It was speed shopping, for we were pressed for time. Olive and I would get distracted from time to time looking at stuff that we do not need, but nevertheless facinates us (like the bamboo decorative umbrella that sells for PhP75.00). We would prod and remind each other to just buy the "essentials."

By two o'clock in the afternoon, we had returned to the apartment and loaded a few boxes in the car and was headed for the condo. Summer heat is BAAAADDD! Plus, the car aircon is busted. I felt like the melting woman while driving the car. Upon reaching the condo, we quickly unloaded our stuff and took a 15-minute breather. After which, we were on our way to Makati, to get the appliances we need.

On our way to Makati, we realized that we were hungry. All the food in the billboards look delicious! Upon reaching Makati, we first had some food and then we joined the buying frenzy in Glorietta activity area. After purchasing the appliances, we headed towards the home section of SM, getting things that we didn't see in Divisoria (plus a couple of other stuff that we forgot). We finished around 830, ten hours on the go! Whew!

We planned to sort out and packed some more of our stuff when we got home. Well, that was it, just a plan. We were both too tired to move when we got home. By 11pm, I was already asleep.
