I understand you Moy.

I remember when Rustans (by Imelda Marcos) in Cebu during 80s were frequented by the elites and socialites in Manila that me and my mum have to buy a specific perfume from there and all I can see were beautiful and gorgeous people.
Then the SM mall in cebu.. whew! Where in you can do most the things. I took my figure ice skating classes and music lessons every weekends and everything else my mother can think of keeping in a mall. And every cities I go to in Philippines either Ilo-ilo, Bacolod, Davao, Cagayan, Baguio, Clark and etc... they all look the same. Specially the Gaisano Group of Companies. That makes me not miss the malls.

Looking back, I would go to malls, only when I need to. But to spend my time there for nothing productive and no fun... the crowd takes me to the level of dizziness.
