Couponing websites will be the death of my credit card (not
to mention itunes) I have had many charges but have yet to use them but so far,
majority of my purchases have been fantastic.
I availed of the Yoshinoya 50% off on Metrodeal and
purchased 6 coupons. Little did I know that the coupons were about to expire in
5 days.
My Yoshinoya love started even before I went to Japan, going
to Japan sealed it even further. You see the beef in Yoshinoya is so tender
that it can literally melt in your mouth (the way I remembered it since I
stopped eating beef a year and a half ago). When I went to japan, contrary to
the fast food look locally, the Yoshinoya’s there look like hole in the wall
shops with bar stools – it looks like your typical canteen but cleaner. I had
Yoshinoya for breakfast almost every single day. It was that good. The rice
alone was superb.
Anyway, since the GCs were expiring, we had to use them
while it was still the weekend. We headed to Robinson’s Galleria with my family
and ordered a lot of bento boxes.
Halfway through the meal, I remembered that I had to buy
pressed powder since I ran out. I was getting ready to head to L’Oreal until my
mom reminded me that L’Oreal did not suit my skin and my grandmother chimed in
that Shiseido would be a better brand.
While the Shiseido lines in Robinson’s Department Store were
not complete, it was just enough to keep my search interesting. Surprisingly,
my mom had her face made up by Clarice, the ever helpful sales associate who
kindly assisted me in my search. I ended up purchasing a UV Protection Cream
and a Sheer Matifying Compact. Hopefully I will not have an adverse reaction
and have my face break out. After spending more than 30 mins in the beauty
department the next stop was believe it or not- Toy’s R Us where we spent more
than 2 hours in.
When I was a kid, I always looked forward to going to Toy
stores and arcades to discover the latest toy. And there I filled my mind with
child like wonder all the new toys that were available for kids these days. One
thing is for sure – kids these days have a lot to choose from. Back in the
days, my top of mind were Baby dolls, Barbie, Lego and Duplo. Now they have
Barbie and Friends, Sylvanian, Baby Alive, to mention a few. Lego has also
evolved from the days I used to play with it. It now has action figures and
collectibles. My brother purchased Iron Man from the Avengers Lego Collectible.
When we saw the Toys R Us sale outside, my brother and aunt panicked. They saw
Cogo blocks (Lego imitation I assume) and went nuts. These big Cogo sets (Fire
station, Army, Pirate and Castles) were at 70% off and down to Php 500 and Php
300 only. They each grabbed three boxes of Cogos. When I saw that it was a great
bargain, I went around looking for my great bargain. I wanted in on the action
too. I found these Disney baby toys that were on sale – super bargain really.
Imagine a Disney nightlight from Php 1,200 down to Php 250? I had to buy one. I
would always know someone pregnant anyway. I ended up purchasing a nightlight,
2 baby highchair toys and a lunchbox. All for a steal at Php 620. It was really
fun to rediscover the kid in us.
We ended the night enjoying the most basic and best kiddie
treat of all – ice cream! Yoshinoya, servesthe best green tea ice cream J and my all time
favourite Japanese snack – takuyaki!
