The Holiday Rush

I can smell the aroma of Christmas in the air. And shoot, it's like the second week of December and I haven't bought gifts for my friends and loved ones yet.

Today we went to World Trade Center to scour almost 500 exhibitors for the 'World Bazaar Expo' that started last December 3. It wasn't as crowded as Greenhills or Divisoria so if you are looking for a less-stressful shopping experience then go to WBE, though the variety of items sold can somehow be less inviting also.

If you are looking for a cheap Havaianas you will find at least three or four stalls selling 50% off the regular price. I bought a black slipper for only Php 500.

I was looking for unique items. I was starving for creative stuffs that might tickle my interest, but instead, I was seeing the same clothes and stuffs in every corner.

Kindly prepare Php 50 for the entrance fee by the way :)
