Hours before Christmas Eve

By daomisyel -
I decided to stay at home this weekend to avoid the traffic and Christmas rush. Good thing that my apartment is just few blocks away to SM Marikina and I went there last Saturday to check out and bought some stuffs for myself.

I stumbled upon few booths of Toy Kingdom Express and found some toys - perfect gifts for kids! SM Department Store looks like a battlefield where people are busy walking, choosing items, and falling in line at the cashier (longggg line to be exact!). I just grabbed a pair of sandals and two slippers (for indoor and outdoor). There were also a clothing booth wherein you can get huge discounts on Kids & Ladies clothes. I've been walking for thirty minutes when I saw Surplus Shop and bought the dress I've been longing for.

On the next day, since I skipped my gym sessions for this week so that I can rest well. I took a late afternoon walk at Marikina Sports Complex and had fun strolling around the tiangge which is just few meters away from the Sports Center. I thought it was just a small place but there is a mini carnival (with different rides & games). I'm hungry and saw food stalls beside the Sports Complex and I ordered bibingka. I don't have plan to stay that long because it's getting dark so I went home.

I was really busy working with some stuffs online (blogging, ahem!) and I need to finish everything before Christmas. One of the biggest challenge for this Christmas season is - wrapping of gifts! Yay, I am not artistic and cramming to pack my things. Btw, I have sorted out some stuffs and I am thinking where should I placed them. I should buy a huge container for all of my stuffs & giveaways.

How about you? Are you done shopping or wrapping of gifts?
