Ate Neth and I seldom talk nor meet each other for the past weeks. She's always busy with her work and calendar business. Sad to say, even her clients didn't pay her until now, she has to continue with what she has started to pay the money she borrowed. Anyway, glad she finally asked me this morning if I want to go with her to buy something in Ukay-ukay, a store for second-hand or used items, like clothes, shoes, bags, accessories and even underwear!

It's in my schedule to return the CD player daughter bought a week ago because the adaptor I bought last night had no power. I picked her up in her house and to my dismay, we didn't find the place along Quezon Avenue which she's bragging me about.

As expected, we went at SM Appliance Center. They were very accommodating and friendly when I explained to them my daughter's problem. Since the unit was under warranty for 6 months, we got a new adaptor. I also returned the other adaptor in SM Audio-Video outlet and replaced the item with charger adaptor and 2 Blast prepaid internet cards.

My sister was looking for white pants at SM Department Store but, I ended up buying my own while she didn't get what she's looking for. Trying on different pants made me hungry so we had palabok with chicken in Jollibee. Most of the time, we talked about losing weight and about the ABS slimming tea she's advising me to try.

On our way to drop her home, we passed Quezon Avenue again hoping to find the store she told me about. We finally found the place but, according to her, not too many stores were open just like last month. Instead of white pants, she got a cheap blanket and sandals for a total of PHP 145.00 only.
