DUTY FREE's PESO POWER
------

mom, tita bot, and i went to duty free in paranaque, even though it is far from where we are staying, we had to go, since they are running this promo called PESO POWER, meaning that consumers will be charged at the rate of USD 1 = Php 43, even if the real exchange rate is Php 48.65. If you want to pay in USD, they are also giving you 11.62% discount in your purchases, which is equivalent of the discount you get in paying in Php.

i finally decided to get these shoes i have been eyeing since the last time i was in duty free (which was end july'09) sanuk black shoes - it is really comfortable i have to say - and i have the option to wear it with or without socks. its a good deal, i was actually deliberating whether to get these or a vans slip on, and i decided on these.


sanuk black shoes, USD 47.10 (without the 11.62% discount), do the computation yourself.


ACCA KAPPA GENTLE CLEANSING MILK, mom bought ACQUA DI COLONIA (perfume) from ACCA KAPPA last year, and i loved the smell, the scent is actually unisex - suitable for men and women. i was able to smell it and its just really good. i also heard good things about this brand, so i bought one as a present for someone.

i have bought chocolates and grocery items as well, my favorite amongst them will be the yakisoba from the japanese grocery section. i also saw a lot of US soaps - from olay body wash that is currently not available in the local market. i had fun going around the grocery store, the only downside was there were a lot of people in there, i had a headache.
