When we went window shopping last Saturday, the kids were laughing at a certain mannequin at one of the sports stores  we went to. My youngest daughter remarked that it was “ang laki ng muscles!” or “the muscles are big!” I looked at the guy mannequin and laughed too, for he looked like he had too much hgh supplements

On second thought, the place was a sports store so a muscled mannequin wearing sports clothes is just fitting. In the clothes section, lady mannequins look like life-size barbie dolls and this does not represent the average woman’s size. Ahem, ahem.

I cringe when I see mannequins with big bosoms and ample hips. Do they really have to do that?

With these big supermarkets otherwise known as “hypermarket” opening at almost every available space, it is no wonder that small businesses are losing their usual customers.

Where we are staying, a big hypermarket from a big company of malls just opened up. We decided to check it out one time and although we found the usual stuff being sold in their other outlets, it is still a bit reassuring for some that such an outlet exists within a few minutes from where we live. With school children, one does not know when there is an emergency urgency to get something for school to be used the next day.

On the other hand, I feel that the small businesses in the vicinity of this big store, meaning a few minutes ride and drive, are threatened. Good if these have business insurance to back them up in times of need.

I hope these smaller businesses won’t fold up like how I see happening in the rural areas.

We just got both of the two younger children a pair of shoes each two months ago but now these can hardly fit. In fact the youngest daughter was able to wear her pair once and that was it.

Yes, they indeed grow up fast and so we have to watch out for what we buy them especially foot wear so these are not outgrown after a few weeks.

For now, choosing their shoes would be up to our preferences but in due time, they would choose what they like but that’s ok, as long as these are within the budget and these shoes are known to be of better quality that other brands.

Oh, this reminds me that I have to look at some Naot sandals that were recommended by a friend. For me, of course

We are saddled with so many choices in life.

Ketchup or salt? Running or walking? To sleep or to watch television?

Yes, as if our life depends on these thing, haha!

We do legwork, canvassing stores for the perfect pair of shoes that not only makes the feet look gorgeous but is slightly cheaper too.

What about bargain hunting during sales, even if one misses a day at work or even has not minded being pushed and shoved?

Sleeveles tops.

Short pants.

Flip-flops.

Swimming gear.

Sun block.

These are just some of the items we need to get to be ready for summer, especially if the plans to have the children go to a vacation down south, these would come in handy for them to enjoy summer days without feeling hot and restricted with their movements.

So yes, I admit, I am forever on the lookout for sale events happening in the nearby malls.

Who knows, I might even get me and my hubby some new gears too, now that we have started to get involved with running and walking together

Yes, there is no stopping Christmas. Even the moms over at FilipinoMomBlog.com are excited about Christmas. Why? Click here to know.

At this time, everywhere one goes, one is reminded about the commercialism spirit of giving. Traffic has become worse in our little part of this world, even before the month ushered in. Shoppers have come to invade the malls, bargain shops and sales, like troops ready for battle.

This time of the year too is a good time to reap profits, especially for those engage in the merchandising business. Yes, business has seen better years and this is not one of those.

Incidentally, there are a lot of jobs in retail available in the market at this time, perfect opportunities for those who want to earn shopping money for the holidays.
