Quiapo Again
My schedule for the day was to go to Globe to pay for the shoes that I bought from Ebay.ph, go to Quiapo to have some photos printed, then go to Tayuman for my client’s album.
I usually ride a jeep going to Quiapo because firstly, I’m on tipid mode, so cabs are out of the question. Secondly, there are few buses going to Quiapo from my place and I don’t want to wait. Thirdly, I don’t want to ride Fx taxis because I’m scared of holdapers, not that they can get much from me. Haha! And it’s just one jeepney ride from our village to Quiapo so it’s okay. I dropped by Globe Center first at the UP-Ayala Technohub to pay for my shoes using G-Cash. Bad news was, they don’t have G-Cash yet on because they’re a newly-opened branch. So, I rode a jeep again going to BPI Quezon Ave branch and that’s where I made my payment. Good thing I wrote down the account details of the seller before I left the house.
While in Quiapo and waiting for the photos to be printed, I walked around the shops to look for charms for my cellphone. I didn’t find anything I liked and ended up buying other stuff. You can find them here. When I went back to the photo studio, the guy from the album supplier was there too. I told him I was going to their place afterwards but I was kinda wishing he’d just take the photos from me and my intructions so I didn’t have to go to their place anymore. Haha! Tamad talaga eh. Of course, that didn’t happen because I still had to wait for 45 minutes for my photos and he left already.
I took a jeep going to Tayuman, making sure I sit on the ride side so I could see where I was supposed to get off. I’m still not familiar where I’m supposed to get off so I had to keep a close watch. Funny pa kse I don’t know how much the minimum fare is so I always give a P10 coin when I pay the mamang jeep. Always! Haha!
After Tayuman, I headed home already. This time, I took a cab because I was tamad na to ride a jeep because it’d take me two rides and I had to cross the streets twice and walk a long way going to my house.
Now, I can’t wait for my shoes to arrive… hopefully tomorrow.
