Let's ride!

Spotted this cute sleeping kitty when we went to Divisoria this morning.  We were shopping for random things like paper straws, foot rugs and small toys :D  I was looking for small wooden boxes but I guess it is better to check supplies at woodcrafter for those things.

Too bad I only had my phone to take this photo.  It would have been nice to have a clearer image :)  I also passed by the school supply store where this big gray cat lives...

but the owner told us that big gray passed away last December due to old age :(  He was 17 years old.  Sigh!  He will be missed.

Let's exchange gifts!

My friend said I was suicidal when I told her that I was going to Divisoria today. She explained that with only 9 days to go before Christmas the place will surely be packed! I also read recently that an estimated 1 million people flock to Divisoria everyday during December. But despite knowing all of these facts I still decided to go so I could buy my little sister's presents for her classmates. Surprisingly, our shopping experience was really pleasant! We were able to find a good parking spot and it was not as crowded as we expected. Anyway, here are a few of the things that we were able to buy :)

lots of cute food shaped erasers at p20 ($0.43) each! I think I saw this at the mall and it is selling at p88 ($1.90)!look at that super cute biscuit!the steak comes with beans, carrots and corn!cute soft toys for your cellphone P30 ($ 0.65) and Doraemon nail cutters P35 ($0.76)
and lastly, the best thing that I bought today is this solar Maneki Neko at P200 ($4.33)
this is for me though and not for Jamila's classmates :D
look at those bobbing heads :D so adorable! I hope they bring me more good luck this coming 2010!

Old buildings in Divisoria

I love looking at this old building in Divisoria. I wonder what it was and when it was built.It must have been really nice when it was built. The details are amazing. I hope I can find more information on this building. I also hope that they don't tear it down completely :(

The Remnants Center is also as interesting. I am actually amazed that it is still occupied! There are a lot of stores on the ground floor and I think people live on the second and third floors.The name suits the building well now but I wonder why it was named "The Remnants Center" to begin with. 

How much is that meow in the window?

I love cats and I'm sure that you all know that by now. If I had unlimited funds and a big house I would adopt as many cats as I can. *sigh* Anyway, there is a store in Divisoria that I visit every time not because of the stuff that they sell but because they have a HUGE gray cat! I visit this big baby almost 2-3 times a year :) I love him already! Last Thursday I was lucky enough to see this giant and two of his feline friends just lounging in the store. Funny, I have been visiting him for about 5 years now and still I have no idea what the name of the store is. Me-ow. what? no discount on the cat???i'm not for sale!we'll take this orange fur ball please!last stock
