Treasure Jar

Last minute shopping. This is what can be said of the malls and stalls in bargain places (like Divisoria) nowawadays. People are on the hunt for school supplies, uniforms, school shoes and thingamajigs for school opening on Tuesday.

We plan to go look for kitchen appliances but we have to hold it off to avoid the crowds. Who knows what virus or worse, pickpockets are up to during these times. I still want to watch a movie with the kids though, before the school starts, LOL.

Nowadays, even the brother-in-law who works to design furniture does not frequent the malls where he looks for inspiration. I think I should do get the things I need for my grocery list today to avoid Monday’s crowd since Monday is a holiday.

And yeah, now I need to wake up before the rooster crows to cook packed lunch for the children.

When one goes online, there’s no way one would know what new information or sites are waiting to be discovered.

That I know for sure especially when I need to research topics like eczema, fungus and dandruff for articles I need to write. Ewww, I know.

Anyway, one site led to another until I came to a site about Happy Town TV series. Though this show received mixed reviews and there are rumors that it will not be airing anymore, the first three episodes I watched were interesting enough to keep me waiting for the next episode to air.

So now, I’ll get ready so I can watch the 4th episode. Can’t wait.
