went shopping yesterday. hee. thought i could just drop that one very casually. well, not!

okay, i shall spill. i, together with redge and cha went to the bargain shopping capital of el filipinas. need i say which one? hee.
anyway, it was supposed to be purely business (yeah, right. like we could contain ourselves.) we went there to buy cheap school supplies for this birthday party we were having for our boss. the guests of honor? deaf kids. can't wait.

so we found the place where we could buy school supplies by the bulk. man, we got to buy ballpens for 1.40 pesos each! helleur?! where else can you buy that kind of stuff at that price? anyway, so we were feeling pretty smug having bought things at such a bargain and having cut the budget to what, half of what we expected to spend but then...
we realized that having to carry 30 intermediate pads, 30 notebooks, 36 boxes of crayons, 36 rulers, 60 ballpens, 36 pencils, 36 erasers and 31 sharpeners aren't going to help us hunt our way through DV heaven. arrgh. that stuff was effing heavy.
anyway, we managed. i got to buy three shirts, ones i can use in the office everyday for 80 pesos each. yay!!! ankle socks for 10 pesos/pair. lots and lots of beads. sayang nga lang late na kami dumating doon kaya we had to rush our butts off. add to that was the hassle of carrying bags full of school supplies. potah ang bigat! i thought my arms were gonna fall off at one point.
pero, worth it. is fun. lots. can't wait for the next payday so we can go back. with a vengeance. har.
