My
wife told me to create a video blog about my last minute Christmas shopping, she
knows already that I’ll be cramming again to buy some Christmas present in SM
Bacoor last December 24, 2013. Because this cram mania happens every year for
the last 8 years. I want everyone at home to have their own gifts from me and
from my wife Lace. But for this year, its funny that everyone got electronic
stuff and gadget as their presents. This 2013 is much different and I’m glad
that gadgets and electronics are much easier to acquire in a crowded mall and 6
hours before Christmas eve.
Btw, I didn’t created a video blog, I’m so
lazy that day to shoot a video and I’m on a panic already because the mall is
crowded and I’m running out of time hahha.
But my mission here is to buy
that toy helicopter for my son, my sister Misyel sent some cash for Ashton’s
Christmas present, and she told me to buy that toy helicopter and some toys that
Ashton wants for Christmas. She sent the cash via Western Union and I learned
from her via online chat and I told her that I’ll pick it up on the 24th because
we are still in Tagaytay City that day. I forgot there are some banks in
Tagaytay that offers money remittance via Western Union, but I didn’t tried
visiting one bank that week because me and my family are so busy surfing the
whole city.
It’s
a short walk and a minute to travel going to SM Bacoor, and before I reached the
gates of the shopping mall, a large crowd already welcomed me coming from the
tianggee store located outside the mall.
While I pass by inside the
covered tent and with walls of merchandise, my eyes worked in a multi task job,
and as I pass by, I check if there are interesting items to buy from the
sidewalk stores.
This
is inside the mall, so crowded and people are starting to panic buy
My
first target is to visit Toy Kingdom store, I already expected that there will
be a long line of people facing the counter
saw
lots of people too wearing their cap inside the mall, I thought that there’s a
rules already suggested by the PNP that caps and other head gear are not allowed
inside the mall.
I
finally arrived here in Toy Kingdom, my heart starts to pump. Its okay if ever I
see a long line, but I need to make sure that the toy that I’m going to buy is
available.
There’s
the long line…whewwww!!
katakot pumila grabe.. baka abutin ako ng noche
buena dito hahahaha
I
went around and there’s no sign of the toy helicopter
My
next stop is SM Store, I have a big feeling already that there might be few
lines here and the toy is available at their Toy Kingdom Express.
Here’s
the line…. its short and the cashier are fast in finishing the
transaction.
I
spotted this Tomy Takara Geki Yaba wall climbing field.
I’m not yet familiar
with this toy, but it looks like that it’s a multiplayer game
I
was thinking to buy this….but I’ll pass
I need to double check the quality
of the plastic and the toy’s playability
temptation….
If
this Predaking’s price went down..like for example PHp1,000, I’ll buy one right
away for my TF collection hahaha.
Here’s
the Rescue Copter toy!!!!
thanks Tita Misyel!
I
visited DTC store here at the SM Cyberzone area, I just bought this duo core
smartphone as Christmas present here at home
I’m
also hunting for that Clock-Radio with iPhone and iPod dock, but it seems that
the appliance store got the expensive line only and not the one we bought – it’s
a TDK clock-radio with iPhone and iPod dock, we bought one from CDR King in
Tagaytay.
That Bluetooth Speaker from Euroo is very promising, I’m
planning to buy one and give it away for my lucky blog reader, its just Php
2,000.
And since that I can’t find that TDK clock radio with dock, I went
to Ace Hardware and bought a powerful dual dry and wet vacuum cleaner as a gift
again for Christmas ho ho ho ho ho!
I went home at around 7pm, all stores
started to close down and the mall calls it a night. I arrived home and hide all
the items under the table, and I started to gift wrap the items one by one. The
most hard to wrap are the bigger box for Ashton’s toy. , I used an eco bag in
order to cover the toy and placed a label outside the eco bag
hahahah.
How about you? have you tried shopping for last minute before
Christmas eve. ?
