I finally got to buy myself a new bag!
My old backpack has gone dirty and torn inside and outside. The zippers are a headache and opening a pocket takes three unconvenient steps. The old bag I inherited from my dad who bought it from the ukay-ukay needs to retire.
I spent more than an hour scouring Gaisano City Iloilo's Department Store for a bag. At some point I resolved to prefer a sling-bag instead of the usual backpack. Bags at Gaisano were really cheap, seldom going over P500. HOWEVER, they also looked "cheap". There were a few "okay" ones but not OK enough! I gave up and headed over to SM Delgado.
A few paces inside SM Delgado and there was the line of bags at the Department Store. I was quite amused. All the bags were great! Some of them were just what I was looking for! After several minutes of comparing them to one another and making sure my things would fit in it, I brought a dark-blue Illustrazio sling-bag to the counter. It was P720 (inclusive of a 10% discount). A major purchase for me.
Gaisano does offer much cheaper items and for a while I was happy about the low prices. I would however conclude that, unless you don't mind quality, it would spare you frustration, time, and effort searching if you go to SM Shoemart. I would say SM's slightly higher price is justified by their much better selections... and shopping environment.

Oy! You finally got a blog for yourself! Congratulations on your AdSense improving. As for me, hah, don't think about asking. Haha. And you're using WordPress for the CFOS site in the UPVisayas domain. That's nice. Right now, I am struggling dissecting its codes. But it kills me that my domain, according to PhilHosting, has already reached its maximum database *whatever* that I can no longer install WordPress because of it! Argh. Maybe this is the right sign for me to update my plan. I badly want a Fantastico after all. Hehe. And thanks for adding my blog link in Hall 1's site!
