Part of the crowd that had rushed to avail the major discounts at the

"Great Northern Sale"

I went inside SM department store to check for my mom's white blouse and I was so surprised by what I've seen... 

OMG! I want! I want! :P

It's happening, it's true! It's real, everywhere you look, there are major discounts even up to 70%, here are some proofs...

G2000 was so generous in taking off 70% from the original price, yes! 

Shopaholic offers 50% off, whoa!

I was really excited to use my SM Gift Pass :))

Check this out peeps, Canadian Club apparel, it's

 "Your Choice" for only P150.00, isn't that great?

Finally, after searching and hunting for this "special" blouse which I've promised to my dear mom, I found the "one!" And look! This was such a fabulous find, from P979.75 it trimmed down to P475.00, that's more than 50% huh! I would not let go of this! Yay! 

Vivant blouse for my mom ;))

You do the judging, they looked similar, right? hihihi All my time and efforts had been paid off, I was just so happy having found this, according to the pretty and friendly saleslady, this was their last stock, so that would only mean... it was really MTB (meant to be, hehe). It felt like finally discovering the treasure you'd been searching. I told myself, I would never give up and it was really worth it! Once again, I've proven that if you are strong-willed, patient and optimistic, nothing is impossible. 

Mom, this one's for you, mission accomplished! 

Do you think my "Ultimate Shopping Adventure" ends there? Oh no, I would never leave SM department store without checking out its Parisian collections... we're talking about shoes now, baby. :)) 

Take 50% off for Parisian shoe collection

I grew up with this brand. SM department store started as a shoe store founded by Mr. Henry Sy, the "Retail King" and is still considered as the richest businessman here in the Philippines according to Forbes Asia. Having been lived here in Manila ever since, our whole family used to visit the very first SM department store located in Quiapo built in 1972; it was part of the expansion of Mr. Henry Sy, due to the success of his shoe store in 1958. Since then, SM (Shoe Mart) has established its own name in the shoe industry having Parisian as its carrier shoe brand. `

This was Shoe Mart's (SM) first head office located in Quiapo

Moving forward...

Fitting a comfy Parisian pair of shoes, this was really a wise buy huh, see? 

I'm gonna buy this one too! 

Thumbs-up! Bought a blouse for my mom and a new pair of shoes for me at a great deal! :))
