My 1 Day Adventure

It’s Saturday (October 2, 2010) morning, when my uncle called my mom and asked if she can accompany her to Divisoria in buying bags to be sent in Canada. Since my mom was a newly operated one (gallbladder stone) she asked me to accompany my uncle alone. I was kind of hesitant for I do not know the whole place. When we went there the last time, I am with her. I do not know the “pasikot – sikot” of that place. But my mom pleaded me for my uncle is already on their way to Cubao. They were from our province – Nueva Ecija. He’s with my cousin, her only daughter, Paivee.

It’s my opportunity to buy the things that I want alone. So I grab the opportunity and asked my mom to give me money. She gave me some. Then I went to Cubao alone. i will be waiting there for y uncle and cousin to arrived and then we will go to Divisoria.

Its 12 noon I’m waiting in the terminal of the five star buses for my uncle and cousin to arrive. They arrived at exactly 1:34 pm. I wait for them for almost 2 hours. 1 ½ hours and 4 minutes to be exact. By the time they arrived, we hurriedly went to Divisoria for we’ve got many bags to buy and I am not familiar to the said place so we have to get there as soon as possible. We rode LRT from Cubao to Recto and a jeepney fro Recto to Divisoria. When we got there, there are so any people buying and selling any cheap buys. Mostly imitations of the branded ones – the Coach, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and the like. There are also imitations of havaianas flip flops which costs only 60 – 80 pesos which when you buy it in the stall of havaianas originals will costs you 750 pesos above. I really love this place for there are so any cheap things you can buy. If you had 1, 000 pesos you can really buy a lot of things.

We bought 6 travelling bags and 4 body bags. All are imitations of the branded ones. I was wearing high heels so bought 1 imitation of havaianas. It’s really like the original ones, I was really amazed by how Pinoys imitate the originals. We are so into the cheap versions of the branded ones. We’re just being practical for we’ve got lots of work to do before we earn such money. After buying all the bags, it’s our time to eat lunch. At around 4pm we ate our lunch at Chowking’s Restaurant in Divisoria. Then off we go again to buy the things we want for ourselves.

It’s past 6 when we decided to go home. We rode jeepney again from Divisoria to Recto and LRT from Recto to Cubao, since in Cubao, there is a terminal for Cogeo fx’s. When we arrived in Cubao, we hurriedly go to the terminal and fall in line. My uncle asked me to buy donuts for my 2 siblings. We, me and y cousin Paivee bought one dozen of donuts at Dunkin Donuts for it is near in the terminal. Then we rode a van to get us in Cogeo.

It’s really a fun adventure for e, for I, myself only knows Cubao to Trinoma and S North alone. addtiotional to that, I can go to Divisoria to buy cheap things now. :DD
