Checking out the mall last week, i should say that it has come a LONG way.

A Few of my favorite Things~
One of the perks of working in a mall is that you can check out all the new things - trends, toys, gadgets and many more... You can immediately see the change in the shops you pass by. For me, I see them regularly and it seems that I miss much of them due to roving around the mall to check on work. Yesterday though, I was asked to take pictures for a write up ordered by my boss to be published in a newspaper a week before our Mall's 3rd Anniversary.
Because of this, I was able to really SEE the little details and hidden treasures within the stores that surrounds my everyday office work. For example...
I have been passing by a store on the ground floor that carries these nice trinkets and baubles! I love seeing their different colors and styles. For someone who loves old and new jewelry, 888 Chinatown Square is the place to go. Check out the stores, SUPERSTAR, SUPERGIRL and SUPERBOY where they feature different types of fashion and they are the biggest accessory shop in the mall.
I love this store because they don't basically follow trends. They just have a variety of bangles, rings - a whole lot of accessories that will sure to please any kind of person who'll be visiting their shop.
The mall is filled with different shops and different styles. Most people in Bacolod wouldn't really care to check on them because they're not famous stores like the ones in big malls. But little does the majority know that they can basically save a LOT of money by purchasing unique stuff here in 888 Chinatown Square.
There are shoppers who're wise enough to understand the value of an item. Take for example the Ukay-ukay! 888 Chinatown Square has the biggest Ukay-ukay center in Bacolod. You can find 2nd hand original stuff in different UK Stores. But you have to have keen eyes to spot nice ones...
In times of financial crisis.... UKAY-UKAY comes to the rescue! Hahaha! But really, these surpluses from other countries are treasures. You can't find an original Hermes bag for P200 just anywhere, man... Yeah, it has a small hole at the sides but nothing you can't fix, really... And not only that! From clothes to toys... Ukay2 proved its worth!
My bestfriend and I went crazy over the newly arrived toys from Japan! It was totally unplanned. That was last week. We were waiting for my laptop to be assembled back when we walked about the first floor and found new toys.
Okay, okay! So after that, I have to go back to the main topic and that is to promote the mall! Aside from having a variety of stuff for the kids, the mall offers us a VARIETY OF FOOD! From Fried noodles, siomai, halo-halo, ice cream, shawarma, shakes and many more, 888 Chinatown Square is the best! Even the Home-cooked meals are available!
Yeah...this is the very reason I am FAT now... HAHAHAA! Anywhooo~ I'll update this blog as soon as possible...and will be continuing this till...our anniversary date: August 8, 2011. See ya!

in THEIR world
Hi! It's been a while since I wrote a NOTE here in FB. Not all may know who I am....so I'm introducing myself. I'm Katz. I love cosplay...art and practically anything that inspires people to dream and soar. So, when I see things that need praise and need raising up, I write about them and acknowledge them gladly. Especially....stories...

For so long as I can remember, MANGA has already been a part of my life. When I got off work, the first thing I do is check if my favorite MANGA (Japanese Comics) is updated. If not, I'm bummed out. Most stories in mangas are great. Take for example, NANA...KIMI NI TODOKE... BATTLE ROYALE... NOBLESSE (Manhwa, A Korean Comic)... CHEESE IN THE TRAP (Manhwa)... You get my point... And yeah, this form of art is basically much more emotional...like a PHOTOGRAPH is to a FILM.
Among the various things I've been doing for the past week and hundreds of worries to think about what with the cosplay gathering just around the corner...I'm so lucky to have met SHIDA SHINPAN a day ago! He walked up to me and asked me if he could be there in the gathering this coming February 5, 2011. If you still don't know him, he is the creator of the local Manga, "IN HER WORLD." This manga was launched last year at the ANIMOTION 2010.
I talked with him for a couple of minutes and he will be releasing the 2nd issue. So, don't miss it! ^_^ Here are some pics I took of what's to come... SNEAK PEAK!

These guys are really putting up an effort to promote local art into this very competitive industry. Well, not that we have a comic industry here in Negros... Sigh~ But hell, they're starting it!

They are truly an inspiration to those of us who loves to draw and write.

Anyhooo~ We'll be seeing the team this Saturday, February 5, 2011 at the 888 Event Center for the KOSUPUREDETO Gathering Event 3:30 - 9:00PM. Ja matta!!!
