After an uneventful Thursday, the succeeding days were jammed with places to visit and things to do.
Mall-wide Sale at Megamall
I was looking forward to this sale since I really wanted to jump start my Christmas Shopping. It may be not worth going if you are not going to buy a lot. Most items are marked at 10% below its original price. Very few are at 20%, 30% or even 50% off the original price. It took me two hours to finish the home section because of the crowd. The other floors were less crowded. I haven't even gone to the mall part.
Raves:
I was very thankful for the valet service. I didn't have to tire myself out and lose my patience over a parking space.
The mall employed extra attendants to help people like me carry big items to the package counter or to the car.
There were stools for people waiting in line at the cashier. It makes the wait more tolerable.
Best purchase of the day was the Igloo ice chest at 50% off. It came with a smaller ice chest and a small water jug. Everything for less than 2K.
Rants:
People who are so impatient about lining up at the cashier. The mall is on sale. Every one had to line up and wait patiently. Stop complaining.
People who bring infants to the mall on sale-days. Both parent and child will not enjoy the experience. It is so crowded and noisy. The child may end up feeling claustrophobic. Besides, they won't have room to maneuver the child strollers.
All in all, it turned out to be a good day at the mall. I got gifts for most of the people on my list. Most importantly, I stayed within budget. It helped that there are lots of items below my P300 mark.
