Divi day, shorted for "Divisoria day". Another story worth blogging. Mom and I decided to go to Divisoria since Christmas had ended, we hope there'll be less people. I told my mom that we should commute so I can tell lots of stories to my blog. We first rode in a jeep. The barkers yell here, yell there, it's kinda annoying but that's their way of finding a living. We  rode in the jeep for about an hour, cause it's traffic. When we got to monumento we waited for a jeepney going to Divisoria, we waited there for minutes. Then we have known that the place where we are standing is really not the place to wait for jeepneys. So we walk along the road and search for the jeep. It's not my first time to go to Divisoria, it's probably my 2nd time already. I'm not used to the sidewalk vendors on the street! and I even saw a train and beside it are small houses, it's really dangerous out there. When we saw a jeep, we immediately rode on it. We waited for several minutes 'cause the jeepney won't move if it is not full yet. I got annoyed cause the driver keep on calling for passengers. We're all in a jam. When we got to Divisoria a sea of people
The vintage necklaces we bought.
welcomed me. Everybody was pushing and shoving. Even if Christmas had ended there are still lots, and when I said lots, really lots of people came to spent their money. It was like you don't need to walk anymore cause the people will automatically sweep you off. We went to 999, mom told me it was the modern 168. I'm very thankful the mall has a/c! So we walk around. There were lots of stuffs at a very cheap price. I was able to buy blouses, shirts, pants, shorts, vintage necklaces, gifts and stuffs for friends and many more. It was like heaven! It's just awkward cause people will stare at you. After a long walk, we decided to eat at Chowking. Then after that we walk again because the vehicles going back to Monumento are on the other block. While walking, there was this kind of toy store, and I really don't know that it's a toy store at first and at the corner, I met a replica of iguana, it really looks like its real. So I panic because it was moving like a real one. Unfortunately there was a canal in front of me, I wasn't able to look down because I was running with the wind! My right foot fell. >.< Good thing mom was able to buy a towel so I sat at the bench and clean my self. It was really gross, seriously. T_T Then we finally reached our destination. But there were lots of people waiting in line also for an FX going to Monumento so we decided to rode on a tricycle. Then we waited again for another vehicle to drive us home. I was excited to open the plastic bags to check the things. The best thing about going to Divisoria besides the great deals and cheap prices is the moment when i get home and i think to myself that i really didn't spend that much. I can't wait to go back again, but I'll probably won't commute anymore. :|
