Good day there readers!

Well, it's been a year already and time does fly so fast that I didn't realized it is time again for SM North EDSA's The Great Northern Sale.  Yup!  The Great Northern Sale will happen again and there are now plenty of stores where you can score some great deals.

How would you feel if you meet the worlds most known cartoon character?  Well, even though that I'm not a big fan of that cartoon character I would still be delighted and honored to meet her.  And who knows when will it happen again so just grab on with the opportunity and get into the flow.

Christmas has been and always will be the happiest moment for most of us. Not just because of having gifts and parties but also being with our loveones in a very meaningful day of the year. From the start of the ber month, people starts their countdown for the big day which is the Christmas. As it gets closer and closer, people becomes busier and busier planning and decorating for Christmas.

We all know that the Great Northern Sale offers up to 70% off on selected item. Aside from that there are great finds, different sales and discounts that can be hunted down. All you need is a keen eye and a sense of thriftiness. A good sense of direction will for sure lead you to some of the great buys.


So for this Great Northern Sale I came up with the idea of what can a Dad can get for his family for a limited resources. Of course I shouldn't compromise the sense of fashion and design of the clothing. So the great hunt at the Great Northern Sale starts!
Since this is our Saturday bonding moment we all went to this sale event. Lunch time when we started to hunt. It was really a crowd and I think people from different walks of life where there searching for great buys. I even stumble to my Godparents while on my way to the information area to get some details. They were there also shopping for great items.


I was able to check most of the stores and there were really lots of great items to buy but since I'm hunting for some really thrifty, fashionable, and comfortable clothing, I still look around together with my family.

Since most of the stores were crowded with people searching for discounts and sales, we decided to head on inside the department store and hunt for more discounts. I get a push cart with a basket because I'm sure we're in for lots of great finds here.


First stop was for the kids. My wife and I hunted for something cool to wear during their sleep time. It was a sleep wear for my eldest and he sure love it.



Then it's my time to have something cool and fashionable to wear. Gladly I was able to find some. It can be for wear for night time or even day time. Matched with the right outfit it will turn out to be an interesting fashion statement. Hahaha.

Oh I forgot! We also got a gourmet card that can be use if we got hungry, unfortunately, we didn't got hungry yet because of that hunting. If you're into food that gourmet card is good for you to get discount from different food establishments.

So did I achieve my thrifty challenge? Yes indeed and we ended our day with our great finds. To some it up we made some few modelling and some snapshots.



If you're to hunt great finds get into the Great Northern Sale at SM City North EDSA.

SALE ALERT!  Yes, for those who have been following Kwento Ni Toto, I'm sure you've always watch out for the sale and discount alerts.  So, this time get ready for another GREAT NORTHERN SALE in SM CITY NORTH EDSA this JULY 13-14-15, 2012.

The Chinese Street Food Festival has started last January 17 and it will end on 23.   So, if you're planning to have some food tripping this long weekend better get your friends or families and run to SM City North EDSA Sky Garden for that yummy and tasting experience.

To better get you more enthusiastic in getting there here's a sample of what you could expect at the Chinese Street Food Festival.  Below are some of the pics from the Chicken Deli stall participated in the said festival.  Aside from there are lots of other food stalls that offers tasty Chinese street foods.  Well, our correspondent Jefferson was lucky enough to experience that crave quenching and tummy filling event.


Chicken Deli is one of their stop over.  Chicken Deli provides a variety of chicken dishes for their consumers.  One of their best selling is the Chicken Inasal which was really known in Bacolod and was really a hit for the masses.  They also offers chicken barbeques and also they have this Special Batchoy.

Govby's Food Stall... not really familiar with this food stall but they are offering different tummy fillers.  Some of their hunger quenching foods are the Hong Kong Noodles which I think are fried noodles, mini siopaos, and some shabu-shabu.

Better head on now to SM City North EDSA!

This year, Chinese and Filipino-Chinese Community will be celebrating the coming of Chinese New Year.   It is said that the coming year is the year of the Water Dragon.  I have always seen and heard how Chinese celebrates their New Year, since some of my early years were spent with my father in the streets of Divisoria and Binondo.  Most of the traders and establishments owners are Chinese and some were my father's friends so I get a chance to somehow see some of their celebrations.


For this Chinese New Year I was very fortunate to get invited in SM North Edsa's celebration of the Chinese New Year.  They unveiled their theme for this years Chinese New Year.  Also and of course a much more up close with the dancing dragons and lions.


Chris Tiu was the emcee for that celebration and at the same time narrator of the Chinese New Year story. Aside from Chris Tiu, Richard Yap or commonly known now as Papa Chen was also their to play the role of a Chinese Emperor.  As Chris Tiu narrates part by part of the story there were Wushu Demonstration, Presentation from Chinese Symphony Orchestra, Dragon and Lion Dance, and there were other exhibits as part of the Chinese New Year Celebration.





Though I know and maybe most of the people know about how the Chinese New Year came about and why people use firecrackers during the celebration, I would still share a short brief about the story.

Just a brief, so story goes like this....


In early times in China, a certain little village was terrorize by a monster that came once each year. One day, just by luck, the villagers discovered that the monster got weaknesses and scared of color red and evenmore afraid of loud noises! So the villagers prepared for the coming of the monster. When the monster came everyone in the village ran for the red banners and noise makers they had made. They waved their banners and rattled their noise makers. This scared the monster so much that made it ran away and was never heard from again!

That's the short story about it and that's why there's always firecrackers and clanging sounds every year.  KUNG HEI FAT CHOI!
