Experiencing Puregold Mindanao

We usually got to Cherry Fodarama when we do our grocery. But today, we went to Puregold for a quick trip. We bought items that we’ll use for Maxyn’s 2nd month tomorrow. Yay, time is flying so fast again!

First thing that I’d like to say about the grocery is that it can cause too much traffic! Why? Because it is located near a U-turn slot. Actually, the exit to their parking area is directed to the U-turn slot. That means all cars from the grocery that is headed the other way would need to go directly to the slot and could block the other approaching cars. You’ll understand me better if you happen to be in the area. I really think that stoplight along Mindanao-Congressional Avenue should be activated again.

The second thing I like to comment on how they organize their stocks. Sure they have a lot but I don’t get it why they should have a separate section for milks. This is an entirely separate section I’m talking about. That section even has its own cashier. And if you buy from there and wants to pay outside, they’ll give you a number. You will give that to the cashier outside then the bagger will get your item for you and then you pay. Weird eh?

Lastly, I don’t understand why you have to present your receipt to the person at the exit. They don’t really expect your groceries but only stamp your receipt. If there are a lot of people going out with their loots, this can be very time consuming and a complete hassle.

Oh well, charge to experience. How about you, how’s your weekend so far?

Today’s Accomplishements

I am truly a wiser mom now. I managed to leave the house for about 5 hours to do some errands. Back when I just gave birth to Ayex, I can’t even be gone for an hour so this is really a huge improvement on my being a mommy. Anyway, here are the things we (hubby and I ran errands separately and we’re both successful) accomplished today.

  • Hubby was able to book the church near our place for Maxyn’s christening. He was also able to temporarily book Kowloon, West Avenue for the reception. Temporary because booking needs personal appearance which he wasn’t able to do. We were hoping to find a reception that is nearer to the church but the choices we had did not have what we need.
  • Hubby was able to have ULY, the car, washed. It was lunch time when he reached the church and the parish office is closed so he opted to go to the nearby car wash first to have ULY cleaned.

  • I was able to pick up the Avent items I bought in ebay. I bought my very own electric pump and another set of washable breast pads. I refused to have them shipped because I’m scared as this is the first time I’m buying something online that costs more than a thousand pesos. Good thing I know how to ask for directions.

    Avent ISIS Uno and Washable Breast Pads

  • I bought new tops for home use. I pick up the Avent stuff in Masangkay, Manila which is walking distance to Divisoria. Since I’m already in the area, I decided to stroll a bit and do a little shopping. It’s been a while you know.
  • Since I’m passing by Trinoma on my way home, I decided to drop by Landmark to get a new bag organizer for myself and accessories organizer for Ayex and Dicey. I had to buy a new one for myself because I used the current one for the baby bag. While the new accessories organizers, I will replace Ayex’s because it can’t hold her stuff anymore and the one, a gift to Dicey.
  • My last activity for my day out is go to the salon and have some hair treatment. I had power massage and hair spa. I love having power massage for my scalp because I can feel that it is clean after the procedure. I was suppose to have hot oil only but the stylist convinced me to have a hair spa treatment instead because it is better than the first.

My next assignment is to create a tarpaulin and invitation for Maxyn’s christening. I’m also planning to go out again on Friday to claim some prizes we won. That’s how my day was. I hope you had a productive day too!

Be Ready for a HUGE Gadgets Warehouse Sale

I must admit, my heart went tug-tug-tug-tug when I saw this from a team mate’s email. I love gadgets and how I wish I can have every single gizmo I fancy out there. I spent time lusting on every single thing I saw even if I know there is nothing in the list I need anytime soon. Baby stuff are our priorities because I’m already at my 36th week! Yay!

I’ve shared this to my younger sister who have been going gaga since she saw my email. She haven’t seen everything in that case because I didn’t notice that I did not forward her everything. I wonder how will she react when she sees the whole list.

I know you’re already curious about this warehouse sale so let me tease you some more.


As of this writing, that’s the only part my sister saw. Now, if you want to see the complete list of sale items, check this PDF file I created. Feel free to spread the word and may you all have your hands on your latest baby!
