The Great Brazilian Madness at Trinoma

SALE ALERT!!!

The Great Brazilian Madness Sale is happening at Trinoma from September 24 – September 26, 2012.

The Great Brazilian Madness

Our experience:

iMom and I went there early but we were already late because the lines to the cashier were long and winding and went on and on and on.

So we were already lining up for an hour and a half or maybe more, when we spotted a short line. I asked what that was for and the staff said the line is for the line is for the disabled, pregnant and senior citizens. I was wearing my ankle support so we got in the line. Yipee!
 
My loot included two pairs of Grendha sandals for my youngest daughter (Php500.00), 2 pairs of Grendha jelly slippers for me (Php700) and a pair of Rider slippers for the eldest daughter (Php600.00).

Sale Alert: The Great Brazilian Madness

A few tips:

  • Go early
  • Wear comfortable shoes and clothes
  • Don’t bring children
  • Don’t carry a heavy bag
  • Have someone with you who can alternately fall in line while you get your loot and vice versa.

 
Have fun!

Roses and Candles

Roses and candles as a table setting is something that sounds and looks just right.

candle and roses

This crappy photo was taken during a family friend’s youngest son’s baptismal gathering. I love how the ambience looked classic and lovely. The details are just wonderful!

This made me look for online photos of scented candles (never mind if I have allergies, lol) and among the sites I saw, diptyque piqued my interest.

Why?

In the past I wanted to have a scented candles business 🙂 I can still have it now, if I spend time on it, right?

I Need Arch Strap

I need arch strap and I have been to a lot of sports stores selling anything that supports injured or otherwise body parts but I can’t find one.

my foot

That is my foot, encased in an LP ankle support. It does little wonders, my heel spur is not that painful when I wear it. I’ve read about arch strap and that is one thing that I need to have. As in now if you please, 😀

Further reading brought me to superfeet insoles here and it got me interested. Would this be another answer to my heel spur pain? I hope I would be able to find a pair that suits me just fine when I do my round of sports stores again.

I hope superfeet insoles have supplies I can buy here in the Philippines!
