Window Shopping for the House Renovation @ Deca Prime

After updating my PAG-IBIG records yesterday at their Mandaue office, I canvassed for materials for  the house renovation. I also dropped by PLDT to inquire about phone lines and DSL service. I’m quite worried because there are no lines available yet at Deca Prime and an internet connection is a vital requirement for my job as a VA.

I visited the following stores along A.S. Fortuna on foot and via PUJ. I really miss GRT 878 since its hiatus.  

@ CENIT  right beside Starbucks, Benedicto Bldg.

- i found patio and garden lights @ Php1,200 to 1,500 per piece. The sales rep advised me that the casing is made of resin which is more expensive but requires less maintenance and lasts longer since it does not rust. 

@ AM Hardware

- 24″ x 24″ porcelain tiles for the ground floor @ Php158/pc for the color which i preferred, price would depend on the color and the design.  

- laminated wood planks for the 2nd floor. 8 pcs per bundle with free installation

@ Cebu Home Builders

- ready made cabinet doors

It was already 6PM but my window shopping was not done yet.  l decided to drop by Metro Gaisano before heading home. Tried fitting some shoes on sale but the styles which were my size were the last ones on stock. I am now hesitant to buy shoes on display or the last pair because the shoes which are on display usually has a different shade than the one left in the stockroom.

@ Metro

- found some do-it-yourself cabinets made of MDF  in bamboo finish which were on sale ranging from Php1,700 up. I was hesitant to buy it since the house hasn’t been turned-over yet. The sale only lasts until April 18.I have until tomorrow to decide.

I went home with 2 bags of groceries, 7 cupcakes with sugar frosting and a synthetic leather pink wallet at 50% off the price. I wasn’t planning to buy one but i’ve been meaning to have a pink wallet ever since i saw Geum Jandi’s wallet in the Korean TV Series — Boys Over Flower episode which was filmed in Macau. This is my nth wallet with not so much inside but membership and discount cards.  

And you thought this blog was all about house renovation huh?
