RainCHECKS: DR. KONG Robinsons Galleria

Jun. 08 PLACES no comments

935815_466117073483174_1756641782_nSchool is already just around the corner and my incoming Grade 4 and incoming Grade 8 still has no shoes for this school year.

So we went to Robinsons Galleria to take advantage of their ‘back-to-school’ sale.  Actually, almost all the leading malls are on SALE last weekend but we purposely went to Gale to visit this specialty shoe store called Dr. Kong.  They have this free foot assessment which can check your foot type (flafoot, high arch or normal) so that you can best choose the right shoes and foot support for your type of feet.  I got introduced to Dr. Kong Shoes just weeks ago when I attended their Philippine launch at Guevarra’s.  More on that story HERE.

Dr. Kong Robinsons Galleria is located at the Jumpstreet on the 3rd Level – that was our first stop.  We had our daughter’s feet checked first.  She was made to stand in this machine that checks for foot alignment and using this ‘silk-screen’ type tool to check her foot type.

Over-all assessment, Kirsten Sky has a mild high arch foot which is quite rare for kids her age since the usual would be on the flat-footed range.  After the assessment a Dr. Kong store assistant assisted Sky in choosing the right school shoes and foot support for her type of feet.  She tried three different styles before ending up with the one that she liked.

Aside from shoes Dr. Kong also has Bags and a lot of foot support products for all types of feet.

Before leaving, the store assistant taught Sky some foot exercises that she can do before and after wearing shoes to relax the muscles and prevent foot injuries.

Our next stop was the Department Store – where we bought a new school shoes for Kuya Neo and some other stuff that are not on the budget.  Oh well, it’s a SALE.

Celebrating MANILA DAY and FATHERS’ DAY at the SM City San Lazaro

Jun. 19 PLACES no comments

MANILA DAY SALE at SM City San Lazaro

Last weekend, both SM City Manila and SM City San Lazaro held a 3-Day SALE in celebration of MANILA DAY.  Manila Day is actually celebrated on the 24th of June.  But June 24, although a Sunday, is an odd date for a SALE.  Ideally a mall sale is conducted during the 15th or the 30th of a Month, the same time where most companies releases the salaries of their employees.

June 16 Saturday – I went to SM City San Lazaro for a food tasting event but it was also the 2nd Day of the MANILA DAY SALE, so together with my food tripping buddies – we searched from floor to floor for great bargains.  The whole mall is in a festive mood.  

One thing I’ve noticed about the place while going around is that they’ve got a lot of shops and features that are not present in other SM malls.  For example, I found this contraption that looks like a vending machine at the center of the food court.

This is actually a gadget charging station.  I think that placing this here is an excellent idea – so people can charge their devices while taking a quick snack break.

Here’s a peak at the awesome shops on SALE inside SM City San Lazaro last weekend:

Another great thing about the Manila Day Sale is that it coincides with the Fathers’ Day Celebration.  So it’s like a two-in-one event topped with a SALE of up to 70% discount on selected items!  Now that’s a weekend.

For the Fathers’ Day Celebration, SM City San Lazaro presented an exhibit of  iconic MINI trendy car from Automobilico, and accessories from Ace Hardware and Department Store.

Big discounts!  Awesome shops!  Fun Environment! Great Food! – That’s SM City San Lazaro for you in a nutshell.  The big question is “How to get there.”  It’s very near the TAYUMAN LRT STATION.  So, all you need to do is go and ride the LRT and you’re there.

SM City San Lazaro is relatively a new mall – less than 10 years in existence but they really have a lot to offer so check them out whenever you are in the area.

EVENTS: Checking Out The MANILA DAY SALE at the SM City Manila

Jun. 15 EVENTS, FADS, FASHION AND TRENDS, PLACES 2 comments

Nothing to do on a FRIDAY.. and since this is the last week before classes start for my 8-year old daughter Kirsten, I decided to go and check out the MANILA DAY SALE at SM City Manila with her.

Today is the first day of the SM City Manila – MANILA DAY SALE that offers up to 70% discount on selected items but since we already did our back-to-school last-minute shopping last Tuesday (June 12) also here at SM City Manila during the FREEDOM SALE, well.. we just went there earlier this afternoon to just check out the new shops and take our afternoon snack.

As expected, SM City Manila is full of people and majority of them are wearing school uniforms.  Check out all the interesting places and stuff we found inside the mall:

Folded and Hung

After checking the shops, we ended up at the cinema area and Kirsten got inside this cool ROCK of AGES Standee complete with a wooden electric guitar.

my little Rockstar!

Aside from the cool shops on SALE, SM City Manila is also home for great restaurants and food choices:

Our favorite TOSH inside SM City Manila

Kirsten was making fun of this TOSH displays saying that the bodies are great but the faces are funny-looking.

The newest addition to the SM City Manila’s family of restaurants – BonChon Chicken

Kirsten’s weakness – Cotton Candies.. so I bought her a triple floss at SWEET FLOSS for 25 pesos

At the lower ground area, Kangaroo Jack

One of the awesome thing about SM City Manila is their collaboration projects with other nearby SM City Malls.  For example the MANILA DAY SALE is also being celebrated simultaneously by SM City San Lazaro.  Another great collaborative project is the PASABAY Campus Edition in coordination with GMA News TV and SM City Sta. Mesa. 

PASABAY is a public service project that aims to offer students with Free Bus Rides from SM City Manila to SM City Sta. Mesa and back covering the streets of N. Domingo, Magsaysay Blvd., Lacson, Espana, Morayta, Recto, Ayala Bridge and Natividad Lopez.

Here are the schedules of the free trips:

After our brief mall window shopping escapade, we then took a quick snack break at KFC.

After that we hurried out of the mall to beat the rush hour traffic, but we got side tracked with puppies – yup, these puppies:

PUPPIES FOR SALE just outside the mall near the Manila City Hall

Kirsten played with the puppies for a while.  So, because of these cute and cuddly little pups.. my plan of beating the rush hour traffic went kaput.  But hey, what is Manila without the traffic!  Traffic and Jeepneys like this one:

Jeepney Home – look at the sign board, this made me laugh.. I know that there’s supposed to be a 2nd Avenue somewhere and even a 5th Avenue LRT station – but I’ve never heard of a place called 5nd Avenue. hehe

MANILA DAY SALE 2012 at the SM City Manila ends on June 17 (Fathers’ Day) so hurry and take advantage of the 70% OFF Items! :)

It’s a SALE DAY at SM MALL of ASIA so I’m not sure if they’ll be participating in the grand switch off this year but their SM CITY Davao will be participating together with Ayala Avenue, Makati City and Plaza Independencia in Cebu City.

Well anyway, switch off or not, I’m very sure that there’s going to be a lot people in Mall of Asia this weekend for this 3-Day Sale.

Sing with me..

Manila, Manila.. I keep coming back to (SM) Manila.

Simply there’s no place like (SM) Manila.

I’m coming home to staaaay!!!

Oh yeah!

Well, if that song didn’t make you want to visit SM CITY MANILA maybe this poster will!

It’s a 3 day sale once again and it’s going to be on my home court! :)  Went there last March 14, Wednesday for a preview of what’s going to happen on the 16th, 17th and the 18th.  Ms. Lai Bautista, Marketing and Events Manager of SM City Manila was there to brief us about the things to expect during the opening of the 3DAY SALE of the official SM Supermall of ChinaTown Manila which is going to happen in a few hours from now.

Here we are gearing up for the tour with SM CITY MANILA's Ms. Lai Bautista (not there though cause i'm the one who took this shot)

Rain was there :) hehe

To open the Supermall SALE, SM City Manila will conduct a Motorcade around the busy district of Manila, so for those living near the area also those who are about to go to school you’ll be able to see SM CITY MANILA staffs and participating tenants parading along the streets around Natividad Almeda-Lopez (formerly Concepcion) corner A.Villegas (formerly Arroceros) and San Marcelino Streets of Ermita, Manila where SM CITY Manila is located.

For those wondering where those streets are.. just remember that SM CITY Manila is just beside the Manila City Hall and a few meters away from LRT Central Station.

Aside from the Motorcade, there will be a Mascot Parade all over the Mall the whole day on the first day of the sale, so make sure that if you’re going to drop by to bring your kids or nieces so they’ll be able to see and shake hands with Jollibee, McDonalds, Captain Shakeys, that Chicken from KFC and many more.

Also, party hard because there’s going to be a DJ heating up the place with the coolest party music using SM CITY MANILA’s state of the art wireless speaker technology.

Let me walk you through SM CITY MANILA so you’ll know what to expect and where to go when you’re inside the coolest mall in the busy district of Manila.
