It was my first time to go to Ermita, Manila without my mom, but with my friends to buy my own scouting clothes. No car, no parents. I experienced a lot of things for it was my first time to commute and walk too much and explore Manila (while it was a rainy day), ride the LRT, and spend too much on a movie.
The main scout shop is located in front of SM Manila and we didn’t know the store’s closed on weekends!! The last time I went to the shop was 2 years ago while my friends went a year ago, so we didn’t know. We just went to the mall and eat, eat, eat and window shop.
I finally get to try Chatime!! Although I think the brand doesn’t matter, all pearl milk teas taste the same in my opinion.
KC and Alyn decided to search for more shop locations, and they found out the Libertad branch and we went for it. We rode the LRT and it was so tiring because we walked all the way from SM Manila to United Nations not knowing that behind the city hall was an LRT station (a day in the life of a Caviteña who thought she knew a lot about the capital city). We had to call our parents just to get to the place!
Streets are still busy despite how the clouds seem to convey that they’re gonna shed some big drops of tears again.
When we reached Libertad, I told my friends to cry because finally, finally we got to the place! It’s like “Aahh, heaven!”
The thing is, when we got there, the seller said that they only have the senior scout clothes for boys, not for girls. And so I felt crushed. But me and my co-senior scout friends bought unisex stuffs needed like the cap, neckerchief + slide, belt + buckle.
After Libertad, we rode the LRT again (what a shame because my dad told me when I got home that we can ride a jeep from there all the way to MOA) and walked through Baclaran. My shoes got dirty but, experience right?? A free souvenir from a place full of clothes and everything we need.
We watched Despicable Me 2 in 3D because we were already late for the 2D screening and we didn’t want to watch a movie that we didn’t start plus we wanted to get home early and so I paid Php300 (I had to pay, it was so expensive tbh bc I’m kuripot and doesn’t want to spend money yet again but I had no choice).
My Php300 wasn’t a waste though, because the movie was really great!! Heh I loooove all the minions, and Gru is still cute as ever
I have always been teased as an owl for having big eyes and I think I found my long lost twin!! Oh well, I’m bullying myself.
This day was so fun, I didn’t even remember I had assignments to do!! Loljk, this was definitely an adventure I won’t easily forget! Love you guys! (6th and some of the pictures on the 7th are from AJ!)
