Window Shopping at the World's Oldest Shopping Mall!!!!!

It was my first day after the conclusion of my audit engagement in Rome and I felt like celebrating!  😤I didn't think of lavishing myself with signature bags and shoes in Galleria Vittorio de Emanuelle in Milan, Italy.  Enjoying the sights was already a priceless treat!  I didn't care less that I was carrying then two bags (a backpack and a shoulder bag) while dragging my carry-on bag (which is contrary to my previous post's statement that I had only a total of two bags.  I just realized and remembered this while reviewing the videos I took inside the mall). 

I didn't know also that I went to the oldest shopping mall in the world.  I only came to know about it when, for the purposes of this post, I recently googled on the name of the establishment near Duomo di Milano. Hihihi! 😜

Nonetheless, as I didn't even check the items that were displayed at the shops' windows (lest I might be tempted to experience some pampering), this post should have been entitled, "Hallway Shopping...".

Don't you think? 😉

Big, Big Sale at SM Mall of Asia

Had it not for the technical problems encountered with our office's internet connection,  I would have posted this pre-scheduled article yesterday.  Anyway, I'm posting it now.  Check the unedited/untouched version below:

SM Mall of Asia will be having its big, big three-day sale starting tomorrow, April 16, 2010.  This is a widely-anticipated event for bargain hunters like me.

Don’t get me wrong.  You might remember that, I said in my post before that I prefer 168 Shopping Mall over SM Mall of Asia.  So, what’s the inconsistency?   Actually, there’s none.

Let me emphasize that SM Mall of Asia will be having a big sale.  This happens only about 2-3 times a year, if my previous year’s memory serves me right.  168 Shopping Mall, on the other hand, is always on sale, all throughout the year.  Since the former rarely offers sale, my officemates and I are always looking forward to it.

Another thing, there are goods for sale in SM Mall of Asia that can’t be found in 168 Shopping Mall.  For instance, signature clothes and shoes.  Need I say more?

Hope to see you there tomorrow! :)
