we're counting the days until we finally fly back home. come sunday, it's goodbye vietnam, and hello philippines. it's great to be back home, except we won't be seeing papa everyday. too bad.

anyhoo, since we're going home already, we went for a little shopping trip at diamond plaza, which is pretty much the posh shopping center here, like parkson's.

our first stop was at converse, up in the second floor of diamond plaza. astig, maraming designs. there was even this display of shoes set for the world cup in germany. they got england chucks, germany chucks, italy chucks, and brazil chucks.
what's good is that diamond plaza is having a sale this week, kaya may discount yung shoes. all four of us--mama, loser, martin and i--each bought our shoes. haha, chucks family. si papa rin, bibili ng chucks niya when we go there some other time this week. i saw this white jacket rin, which was like, so ganda, kaso it was a wee bit small for me. loser bought the pink version of the jacket, which fit her perfectly. we went around the second floor, punta ng ripcurl and roxy, giordano, benetton, blah blah blah. loser and i bought blouse and pants at viet thy. then she bought white pants somewhere (i forgot the name of the store). i bought a long-sleeved shirt at esprit. i like it, it's red and white, hehe.

afterwards, we went to the third floor to look for martin's gamepak. kaso wala, so we just looked around for anything else we wanted. then we ate at KFC sa fourth floor. nice lunch, since it's been a long time na di ako kumakain ng chicken, haha.

then we went down to the first floor to look for a mont blanc pen mama's friend asked her to buy. kaso wala yung design na gusto niya. loser and mama also looked at sunglasses, they got everything--ray-ban, d&g, police, armani, blah blah blah. i was too busy playing around with martin, kaya i didn't really look around much.

we left diamond plaza and walked to saigon square. mama wanted to buy some shirts for papa, eh wala kasi siya makita sa diamond plaza. we went to this shop there, tapos there was this young british couple looking around din. the guy was asking for a bigger size of shorts or something, kaso sabi nung saleslady wala na daw ibang sizes. then the guy pulled this pouting face that looked so cute! hehe. basta ang cute cute! heehee.

we looked around for more shirts and shorts for papa, the ones he can use for golf. hirap maghanap.

saigon square is pretty okay naman, loads of clothes and stuff. the only problem is, it's too f*ckin' hot there. as in, sobrang init. the first time we went, i was cursing under my breath because i so wanted to get outta there. going to saigon square is like going to hell and back. talagang ang init.

thankfully, we didn't stay that long. we walked back home. mama probably noticed how exhausted we were, so she bought us coke and cookies when we got to the apartment. hehe.

i love my new chucks!

i'm finally getting
the hang of LiveJournal.
Blogger's still easier, though.
