Too Many Surprises in One Day

Last weekend was spent at Trinoma. It was the second time we went there. S has a voice workshop somewhere in QC so he dropped us off at the mall to pass the time.

Burger King

Lunch was at Burger King. We ordered hamburgers for us, the one that came with a  free sundae. Everything was great and even Z was in the mood to pose for some pictures.

As you can see we were quite happy and enjoyed eating there well, until I saw a hair inside my burger. It’s gross, I know and we called their attention and they had it replaced sure but I lost my appetite after that. So now, Burger King is crossed out on our list whenever we ask, “Where are we going to eat for lunch?”

After lunch we wanted to go to SM North before S leaves us but it was such a long walk that we decided to go to Landmark instead which is conveniently inside Trinoma. As soon as S left we went to check out toys. Didn’t buy him any at first because he has so many toys already! I think we must have spent an hour and a half  just looking at the toys. Then realizing that I have to shop for my things I told Z it was his time to accompany me. Good boy Z didn’t whine that much as long as he found a chair to sit on while I try on shoes and clothes. Poor guy attendant, I had to send him back five times before I was able to decide what shoes I want.

Then it was time to meet S at our meeting place. We saw monsters walking around and teasing people which made Z’s eyes grow wide. But even my eyes grew big when I saw a 14 feet man walking on stilts. He must have been this tall and he was walking amongst a sea of people.

I think he was this tall

I was thinking maybe it wasn’t that safe to do that with that many people around him people. I should know I had some experience riding on a stilt myself when I was a little girl so I am an expert. The only difference was mine was this tall.

My version of stilts

Sure enough as if proving my point, a little girl ran after him and pushed him. My heart almost jumped out of my body and I was one of the people who shouted in shock. Fortunately for him (and for my heart) he was able to regain his balance just in time.

So that was the end of an “uneventful” day for us. S came back and declared we go back to the toy store to get his precious one the toy he deserved for being a good boy. We rode a taxi going home and its battery died on us on the way.
