My First Time At Farmers Plaza

It's been a while since I last visited this tiangge, I missed the tawaran part even though I'm such a newbie at it. I even missed the grouchy sales ladies who snobs at me when I walk right pass their stall.

November 28, 2009 was a Saturday, my first time to go shopping all by myself. I was so used to shopping and going to lots of places with my boyfriend, but since I'm already single, I need to learn to do these things on my own now. Gosh! I find it really hard to adjust...

The first thing that came to my mind was to shop for a skirt that I'll be needing for our company Christmas party. The theme for the party is "Rock Star," so I decided to visit Farmers Plaza since I'll only be using that costume once.

Searching through dozens of stalls, avoiding annoying sales ladies who insists me to buy their expensive yet cheaply made shirts, bags, etc., I came into this small hallway where lots of cheaper stalls are. So there I was, looking for a skirt but wasn't able to find one. I find it a bit disturbing to see that most of the clothes these days resembles the ones the hookers use when they're on duty... don't know why?

Anyway, since there's no single (as in matino) skirt there I just bought me a new pair of pants, some shorts (I just wish I have the courage to wear them in the office), and a Php180-for-two slippers. I had fun that day, I never thought that I could actually have fun shopping on my own!

Now I don't know where I can buy a cheap, but reliable, skirt for the Christmas party... I don't want to spend much just to buy clothes that I'll only use once! Now where the heck am I going? Divisoria? Goodness! I don't even know how to get there, let alone wonder from mall to mall looking for a skirt. That's the huge problem I am facing right now, I can't travel to places like Divisoria, Quiapo, Recto, etc. without someone to accompany me, and that someone is always a boyfriend. Grrrr... I guess that's the hardest part of being single, but at least I'm free to do whatever I want! I can stay up late watching TV, playing online none-stop, going out with friends, drinking at birthday parties, meeting new people, and so on...

If there's one thing I learned from my past relationships it's: no matter what I do with my life, I still need to be responsible for all the decisions I make, life still goes on whatever happens.
