Z the deliveries!

A few weeks ago, I was talking to 2 of my Creative Directors and the topic was missing working at the office.

One of the reasons why we miss Raffles is its proximity to a lot of the big malls like The Podium, Robinson’s Galleria and SM Megamall. And of late, I also rediscovered the joys of Ayala 30th and Estancia.

Back then, whenever lunchtime came along, we’d simply walk to the malls to give our eyes a breather. Also, to drop by the supermarket to,get supplies for our Batcave. Also, to do a bit of retail therapy.

Now, since we’re all confined to the house, the only way to do that is on-line. And I made a joke that once the ECQ is relaxed, our home might be deluged with packages from Zalora.

Mark sometimes says: “Jokes are half-meant.” And in the case of that Zalora joke, we’ll, he might be right.

Here’s what we have so far.

(This photo doesn't include the first few packages that came in several weeks ago!)

And I’m pretty sure there are a few more on their way.

There's always a last minute scamper

No matter how early I start my Christmas shopping duties (this year, I started last September), I always find myself scampering from mall to mall for gifts on Christmas eve. Just like last year.

Today, I ended up going to 4 malls just to complete my Christmas shopping duties. And just like in years past, I spent the last hours of Christmas eve wrapping gifts and sneaking them under the Christmas tree.

By 10pm, I've completed my list, my wrapping duties, and the gifts are under the tree with 2 hours to spare. This is getting to be a habit! Harhar.

Here's to the Christmas rush?
