BETTER LIFE | THE DIARY GAME | 02JUN2024 | 🟧🐺📚 Back to Big Bad Wold Book sale to claim my price 📚🐺🟧

Woke up around 5:35 in the morning today from my alarm. But like always I just checked on my phone and came back to sleep. Around 6:30 in the morning is when I decided to come downstairs. My sister is preparing herself by that time and is now changing into the clothes that she has prepared in going to her review class in Manila.

By that time also I'm preparing all of the things that I'll be needing in going back to Big Bad Wolf Book Sale in Parqal Mall in Paranaque City. I've also registered for internet data on my phone so that I'll be able to post and also access my accounts as they've sent the confirmation on my social media account. Although I have screenshotted it in case I have difficulty in having access in the internet. Because last time when my sister and I came in to the sale, I noticed that my mobile signal and data is not that great in the mall. I don't know if it's because the mall is still on the phase where it's still on ongoing construction, or because all of the windows are shut. So I have also taken a pre-caution of doing that.

After I have prepared all of the things that I'll be needing, I then went downstairs again and drank first a cup of coffee. I waited 30-minutes after I have drank the whole cup of coffee as the coffee that I've drank is a dietary supplement kind of coffee.

Last Friday night, around 8 in the evening, BBW messaged me on Instagram about the mechanics on how to claim the price that I've won.

Around 8:30 in the morning, I started to move and say to my mother that she should prepare the things that she might need in going in the sale and while she's doing that I'll go and take a bath first. After I finish my shower I saw my mother watering the plants outside and did not prepare all the things that she'll wear and bring. She always do that so I'm used to it, but I still got angry at that.

Around 11 in the morning we went out and started to walk in going to the tricycle terminal on our subdivision, which is just outside the gate. We went to a convenience store/drug store to buy some loose powder as we don't have any small bills for the bus ride on going to the book sale. So we went in the store first to buy that. But the store also don't have any change for the bill that we have, which forced me to use my e-wallet for this transaction.

We arrived at Parqal around 12 noon. As we have gone into public transportation, we have to walk from the other side of the road on going to the mall. It was like more or less than half a kilometer walk from the bus top, which is also more or less 5 minute walk for us. Luckily it was kind of windy that time so the heat was not that much present at that time and we have an umbrella.

When we got in the floor of the book sale I was excited again because now my mother is experiencing the book sale of Big Bad Wolf. I actually like for her to buy some stuff for her to use and read, or to gift to other people. We roamed a round a bit and then I asked the customer service on the claiming of my price. Unfortunately at that time the one that was handling the sale is not yet present at that time. The one that was present that time told us that she or he might be coming around 12:30 PM to 1 PM and we should just roam for a bit and just come back when they are present. So my mother and I roamed for a bit and look for some books that she might like.

Around 1:20 PM, we ate first at one of the stall inside the sale. Both me and my mother ate rice meals with soup as she's starting to get tired. After that we continued and tried again the Customers Service if the person in charge is in the booth yet. But no luck, their still not present at that time. So he just gave us some names on the other booth as they might also know on what we will do.

After we've been past to booth to booth finally, around 3:30 in the afternoon, I've claimed the stub that the Prints & Press needed to make my own personalized or customized tote bag. My sister also did her own design on the other side of the bag.

After that we roamed around a bit more in the sale. My sister is searching for some Julia Quinn books on Bridgerton, and there were posts that says that there are still available in the sale but you'll have to find it yourself as the staff puts it scattered randomly in the whole floor of the sale.

After we didn't find what my sister is looking for. We decided to go home.

Before we took a bus in PITX going back to Bacoor, we ate first on BonChon.

We got to Bacoor around 7 in the evening. We did some grocery shopping first before taking a tricycle going straight back home. We arrived around 7:45 PM in the house.
