cheap buys in Ayala

Just as well that I forgot my BPI credit card at home when
my mother and I went to Glorietta, Makati today. Otherwise, I would
be over budget this month, from all those I wanted to buy.

I knew that there was a BPI Zero % Installment Madness in
Glorietta but I didn't know that there was also a 3-day sale in Ayala
Center. I was so tempted to buy my Christmas presents even this early
because the prices of the products on sale might not be this good
later. Most products were 10% less their original price. But there
were also many products that had 50% discount.

I couldn't help thinking how correct the recently published
study of the Swiss banking giant UBS is; that Metro Manila is one of
the cheapest cities to live in anywhere in the world (5th rank). This
includes being one of the cheapest cities in the world to visit for
business or pleasure.

It was also fortunate that I also left my ATM card along
with my BPI credit card.

At least, I was able to buy what I came for in Glorietta --
two Nike backpacks – the most expensive bags I ever bought. I got 10%
discount from one and 25% in the other one. Good enough buys.
