HEADACHE
Hello, world! It is nice to be back in the blogosphere. I had quite a hectic day today but I simply could not wait to blog again. So here I am, trying to post my third entry in my recently-opened blog spot.
What has kept me busy for the day, you may ask? Well, I heard mass this morning at the EDSA Shrine. Though I am not a totally devout Catholic, I must say I still make it a point to observe my Sunday obligation, ever hopeful that my church attendance would someday be taken as a mitigating factor in my favor should the judgment day come upon us. After the mass, I loitered a bit at the Robinson Galleria mall, doing some sight-seeing and window shopping as well. With a rather tight budget, I think this is the only kind of shopping I can very well afford right now. Not that I enjoy shopping. It is actually a constant source of irritation between me and my wife, who would sometimes spend a couple of hours hopping from one store to another looking for a precious find. This is especially true if we happen to find ourselves in the greatest shopping plaza right in the heart of Manila, that is, Divisoria. Hehehe, biro lang, be.
About an hour or so of strolling inside Robinson, I moved to the SM Megamall, which is just a short distance away. Just like in Robinsons, I leisurely ambled through the cavernous mall filled with massive throng of weekend shoppers. Along the way, I feasted my eyes on the grandiose merchandise on display for sale. I spent though a much longer time in the electronic section of the mall, where the newest models of high-tech gadgetries, especially cellphones, are put on view. The electronic stuffs were really fascinating, and their features rather overwhelming. You just do not know what product developers would think of next. I do hope though that whatever innovative products they would come up with in the near future, the prices should at least be slashed down to correspond to the disposable income of hard-up government employees, like me. I know I am wishing for the moon and the stars, but who knows, there may be manufacturers out there who genuinely sympathize with the dire plight of civil servants and who would thus be willing to sell their products at a cheap bargain. Sana nga... Pero yun nga, asa pa ako...
After getting so droolingly envious with people pushing product-filled grocery carts and lugging bags of pricey items, I decided I had enough. A little more and I would find it temptingly irresistible to dip into my P1,000.00 peso-ATM account, which is actually my remaining allowance for the next two weeks. So, without much ado, I started for home. I got caught in a traffic jam for a while but at around six o'clock this evening, I reached home, where a tasty pancit canton was waiting for me.
By the way, you may think the title of this blog entry, Headache, does not have anything to do with what I have written above. Well, it is what I am feeling right now just thinking of the interesting gadgets I saw in the mall, which I wish I could own.
