Mall-hopping!
11:56 AM November 04, 2007

Wow... 4 malls in 4 days, obviously, I'm now pretty tired and penniless. Hehe..

It started with Robinson's MetroEast, Tuesday. Halloween, my mom and tita wanted to drop by MegaMall, but it didn't push through. So we ended up watching anime for the rest of the day (cause France wanted to. ^^) On Thursday we went to Trinoma, Friday we went to Ayala Town Center, then Saturday we headed to Gateway. Today, we're scheduled to go to Greenhills, but I don't know if we'll push through, since it's the last day of the sembreak for some of the cousins.

I haven't been able to do much reading, although I did finish the Painted Veil this sembreak.

Anyway, the funny thing about going to all these malls is that I didn't really go shopping much. For Trinoma and ATC, I went with my family, and the cousins split into 2, Rob, Renzo and Bern, then Me, France and Bianca. The first group went shopping in the truest sense, buying shirts, shoes, etc. The second group, well, we looked around a bit, then we played in the arcades. In Trinoma, we even stumbled onto a pretty "Garden of Stars" and spent a good hour or two just taking pictures.

And here I must once again lament on the sad fate of the photographer. Since we were using my phone, Bianca and France got loads of pictures of themselves, and I got about 4 out of the 60+. And while I flatter myself as I say so, I think I was also the best skilled at taking pictures among us three. So they got the nicer pics. :( They acknowledge it, so don't mind my saying so. As France said: "Quality and Quantity kami [ni Bianca], ikaw...*cough*..silence." =_= You can check my multiply for the pics. :) I think I want to go to the Star Gardens with the Trio. =^_^=

And Gremio and Vigile has discovered a new favorite arcade game. Good bye big drums with picture taking for high scores! Hello guitar and percussion freaks. Yes, I know we're a little late catching on to this trend, but catch on we have. XD France and I are the ones on drums, Vigile and Gremio on the guitars.

And we've once again proven that Gremio is Konata from Lucky Star. In Big R, we decided to try out the crane game, and on our first try, we were able to snag a cute tennis playing looking snoopy doll. Hehe.. And if that's not enough, we also tried the sit-down arcade games and played virtual tennis in Big R and Soul Caliber in Gateway. She fought Vigile in tennis, and from what I gather, Vigile plays this game a lot, and it was Gremio's first time. She beat Vigile and the computer and went forward for about several games. In Soul Caliber, she beat some guy who I presume often played the game, since he was confident enough to keep challenging her after about 4(?) losses. He eventually gave up, and she went on to fight the computer. And besides, she spends almost all her time at home on an online RPG, just like Konata. Hehe.. Shocking how similar they really are. ^^;

Which reminds me, have I ever mentioned how lucky I am in Timezone? I always (as in always) manage to get free games each and every time, since before. ^^; Once in Eastwood, I got about 4 free games, including drums, para para, and some shooting game. Last time in Big R, I found a free crane game while Gremio and Vigile were playing at the counter. Then in ATC, I found a free House of the Dead 4, and a Motorcycle game. And we (France, Bianca and I) got a free percussion freaks game as well. In Trinoma, I found a free Point Blank (sp?) game, and in Gateway, I found a free shooting game and a race car game. Vigile and Gremio also found a free Soul Caliber and candy crane game while France found a free Time Crisis game. Sometimes, I think you can almost survive with just free games in Timezone. Hehe...

And you know what, Bernice actually went on a Tagaytay trip with her friends even though she wasn't given permission to do so. As in my mom said no, and she sneaked away on the pretense of visiting a friend. Then when she didn't come home despite the really really late hour, she texted my mom that she was already in Tagaytay. --__-- WTH And then, when we got around to talking about it this lunchtime (she isn't home yet, btw) my dad ended up questioning me about our fight, since we haven't patched up yet. I said I was neutral and indifferent, and Bianca admitted that Bernince was still angry. Sya pang may ganang magalit eh sya nga yung nang-away at nagsimula. Grr... Could be because I outshouted her in the actual fight. I think I'm the only one in the world who can do that. Hehe.. And in her bitter pride, she demanded to be let down from the car. Hah! As if my mom would allow her. That must have been a big blow. But I really don't think what she does is right, she always has insults for everybody, including our parents, and she practically punctuates her sentences with swear words. Plus she's mean to Twinky and a lot of people. Tsk.. Bahala ka.

And eww.. Gateway was filled with bratty kids yesterday! There was one that insisted on getting the huge bambi stuffed doll from the uber expensive crane game. Sadly, it was impossible to grab, cause it was really heavy, but her mom had to keep trying. Tsk. But worse was the brat who kept insisting on BREAST feeding in the jeep I took after leaving Gateway. And she looked about 4-5 years old. X( So she kept tugging at her mother's neckline demanding it too! And she insisted on it so much that her mother did breast feed her. In the jeep. Full of people. So awkward! Eww.. >_<

Oh, and we also hung out in my second cousin's house. The Limon's. For the Certeza cousins in the US out there, we played video games with them like we did when we were littler children. They're really nice and it was fun. ^_^; They had an N64, and we had pics with them on tita Mylene's camera. ^^;

That's it for my busy sembreak. Haven't gotten all my desired subjects, but I've gotten my required ones on CRS. ^^ Wish me a lucky new sem!
