one thing's clear from yesterday's random malls excursion to look stuff up:
I dislike malls especially during the holiday rush.
makers markets are where its at for me na frustrated creative. i like smaller mom and pop shops vs generic mall stuff outside of sm's sm surplus where I like the stuff better there than the dept store's...🤔 also, these days? ...
I'm the type to shop my own closet and skin care, self care stash to give stuff to people come the holiday, gifting season just because...I don't really wanna hoard stuff or so anyways. 🤔
Malls during the Holidays are packed up. I went to 2 different SM malls over the weekend. (Megamall Saturday & City North Edsa Sunday) & It was productive.

: i went to 3 or 4 here: Ayala Centrio, SM Downtown Premiere, Limketkai Center/Mall, and Robinsons, the old one that's attached to the LKKC. yep. they're packed. 🥲
I was actually at Megamall for Christmas Toycon while I also connect to the said mall's wifi to get updates regarding the last episode of Produce 101 Japan The Girls on Twitter. Last episode will be streamed globally this Wednesday.

: ah...I went to Centrio din dito for an arts event. a local tea house/milk tea resto I go to has what they call soft/we are soft yearly. 5th year nila and they had soft talks with creatives + a psych on mental health yesterday so it was what I attended. they tend to gather pati mga anime/animanga based illustrators ng locale namin dito so...
Trish Kono
: ....those artists had booths din sa centrio. i'm lately more into stationeried tho. i'm a doodler/occasional writer so I'm waiting on an illustrator rn to sell more of her notebooks, notepads to buy and give away to some good friends/people here. 🤔
Still looking for that Heart Roidmude Form Sofubi because I want to match it to my Ultraman Blazar Sofubi that I begged my younger sister to buy that when she went to Hong Kong for a working trip.
