The lockdowns really affected most of us as we are confined inside our homes and almost forgot how the outside world looks like. Fortunately restrictions has eased up with the declining number of cases which means we can gradually comeback to our usual routines and do more things. But since we may not go to more far away places, it's practical and preferred to travel to local spots, in which Binondo comes to mind.

SM Manila 3 Day Sale This Weekend!

It's another payday weekend and this means another sale weekend! And the best place to shop will happen in SM City Manila.  The mall has been a favorite place to shop and hang out for nearby places like the Manila City Hall, Government Agencies and Universities like PNU. TUP, and the Intramuros Consortium.

The mall was also my favorite place during vacant time when I was studying in PLM. The mall indeed has changed dramatically ever since. From the stores, services, and even the look changed with time but the fun remains which makes people keep coming back again.
