texas journal # 2

it is now october 7 here in texas. i am having a hard time adjusting to the date & time as i write this blog. to avoid confusion, i am adjusting the time frame in my posts based on the actual time i am writing this journal.

the time here is 12:25 am, october 7 already. we just arrived an hour earlier from a dinner at one of charo's friends' house. it was a despedida for the sister of their friend who'll be working in missouri by next week.

but before we went there, we dropped by first at target. wow, it was big! i mean, it was a warehouse type of shopping and i was surprised to see a lot of items there. and, the addict in me definitely started acting up immediately!

as i entered the store, the first row i saw was the $ corner where they had these letter stickers and rub-ons! they also have some brads and eyelets there. i couldn't contain myself from picking-up some items here and there. nelo was just shaking his head and smiling as i couldn't decide which item to get.

since we only had limited time to go around, we immediately followed charo & my in-laws inside. as we went past certain rows, i saw the "marcella by k" brand which my friend told me was only available (or something) at target. i couldn't believe it! some of the items were on sale and again, i couldn't decide which one to get. i am so overwhelmed by what i'm seeing! and to think target pa lang yan ano! paano pa pag nagpunta ako sa joann store! hahaha!

ang tagal ko dun sa aisle na yun. ang hirap mag-decide talaga. at eto pa, nilabas ko agad ang calculator ko! compute agad ako magkano in pesos yung mga items! buti na lang yung iba eh medyo alam ko na yung price kaya di ko na kinuha coz mas mura online.

i just got a few items and decided that i'll just come back again.

so okay na yan. we didn't have time anymore to go to joann but i already saw where the store was. wow! ang laki ng store sa labas and di pa yun yung super store ha!

so off to dinner we went after that. ng matapos na ang dinner around 11pm, uwi na kami. pagdating ng bahay, bigla namin naisip kuamin ng ice cream kaya lumabas ulit kami nila nelo & bernard to buy from heb.

punta kami sa heb, one of the biggest supermarkets here. it's a 24-hour supermarket and it really is huge!

pagpasok namin, wow, ang daming pagpipilian. nelo wanted pizza and super dami ng choices and brands. pili ka kung thin crust or the regular one, pepperoni or cheese or supreme. we ended up choosing yung parang mexican-type pizza na thin crust.

hanap naman kami next ng apple juice, eh biglang nakita ko yung row nila for scrapbooking, oh no! ang radar ko ulit biglang tumunog! grabe! yung mga nakita kong items bagay dun sa travel album na gusto ko gawin. at ang mga embellishments, ang dami din! nag-hyperventilate ako bigla!

buti na lang at nakita agad ako ni nelo! kung hindi, naku eh baka panay na naman ang kuha ko! hahaha! anyway, i decided not to buy yet coz i wanted to see first what's available also at michaels and joann. i left that aisle feeling so high sa mga nakita ko!

punta naman kami sa ice cream section. eh ganun din, dami din ng choices! super tataba ka dito pag ganun ang mga pagpipilian. we bought a half gallon ice cream worth almost $4, mura din ha! we bought a chocolate chip with dough something flavor.

pagdating house, kainan agad kami. ang sarap ng ice cream! buo-buo pa yung parang dough something inside it. i'm sure kung andtio si daddy ko & obet, they'll love that flavor.

so, that ends the day for us. later, coz umaga na nga pala, we'll go again downtown to check out the other stores. i'm quite afraid na baka di ako makahinga sa mga makikita ko. i think neeed blinders while shopping! hahaha!
