Sunday has always been a busy day for Kwento Ni Toto but for this specific day it is much more busier than what I have thought. Of course this has nothing to do with the usual Sunday regimen, this time it's a busy day inside the mall. If you're one of our dear followers, I'm sure you've already read about the recent post regarding the sale that will transpire at one of the SM Malls which is the SM City Sta. Mesa or mostly known as SM Centerpoint.


In last year's sale features we have already featured some of their sale activities here in this blog. Kwento Ni Toto believed that many have seen it and we just don't know if shoppers was able to hunt for some good discounts and best buys. But of course with SM's sales you'll definitely find one for you. I do hope that you, my readers, was able to go there as well.

Yes, you read it right!  The Cyberzone in SM City Sta. Mesa is now open!  With the opening of this tech and gadget zone in one of the prestigious mall in the metro, people on this side of the metro will now have more access to more and wide range of of items.   A good selection of different brands, technology, gadgets, and accessories.  Not only that it made easily available for the consumers but it opened a venue as well for gadgets and tech stores.


Correspondent Angie of Kwento Ni Toto was able to capture and witness this important event for SM City Sta. Mesa.  Of course everything should start with the blessing in which it was commenced and later on according to Correspondent Angie a short program took place in the midst of the cyberzone to introduce to the opening of this new set up hub in this one of SM City malls.  Of course the opening ceremony were graced by different SM personalities, guests, media and how about that, even the autobots and decepticons were there as well.  Perhaps they wanted to check out what's in the Cyberzone.



Speaking of what's in the Cyberzone, here are the stores that you can find there.

SM City Sta Mesa or commonly called SM Centerpoint has indeed made another point to their patron consumers with their latest sale this Aug 3, 4 & 5 and today was their last day of sale.  Though, last day it still looks like the first day because of the huge crowd coming in and out of the mall.




It was afternoon and I know most people went to the mall during this time to spend some bonding moments or just simply to pass time.  So I was there together with my wife and my eldest son, Maki.  My theme for this specific sale is UNDERGARMENTS, like underwear and socks.  Yes, I hunted for this specific clothing because I badly need to have new pairs of these items.  Some of my undergarment belongings were near turning into bacon garters and for the pair of socks some were already worn out.  So I really need to have new ones.


Not really sure if I'm going to find a good bargain or sale this time because as far as I know most men's clothing are much more expensive than ladies.  So, hunting for some good buys may take some time.  To my surprise I just finish my hunt in just a few minutes.  What I got was a bench underwear which cost around Php369 with 10% discount.  It's in pack of three which comes with a pouch which I can use later as storage of other items, not much of a discount but still I was able to get other than the underwear.  I also grab a Burlington socks that also comes in pack of three which cost Php150 which is a good buy also.  Then, since my son is with us and I wanted to teach him the value of money I bought his a coin bank with a shape of a dragon.  Playful enough to save money.



Here are some other pictures that I have taken during our hunt also thanks to Lot's A Pizza for pizza.











These experience is not brag about what we got on sale but to share how discounts and sales can help us all stretch that hard earned money.   So the next time you're in a sale make sure to get what you planned for. Stick to it!

Happy Shopping.

Last May 19, after attending a bloggers' acquaintance party, yours truly, headed straight to SM City Sta. Mesa to cover an auto fest. Gladly, the acquaintance party was just right across the street.

Cars, my experience of an exhibition of different cars was I think 2002. My former boss invited me to watch the exhibition in SM Mega Mall that day. I was mesmerized with how this different cars where assembled and dressed up with different accessories. Also, I got curious during the high time of the movie "The Fast and The Furious". Since then whenever there's a chance to see exhibitions of automobiles, I tried to be there and admire those wonderful craftsmanship.

For this particular auto fest it was a mixture of covering and admiring. If you have been to SM City Sta. Mesa I'm sure you would ask where did they displayed those cars? Well, unfortunately they were able to jam-pack with different cars the front car park area. The only thing that I did worry about is I need to be aware of the tight area and be careful that I might scratch those awesome cars.

Though the area is not that big, still there are enthusiasts, admirers, fanatics and hobbyists or should I say simply say all people who likes cars are there to look around and see what this owners got there under the hood.

Check out what we've seen there.

The 3-day Sale of SM City Sta. Mesa was an event I did cover last Saturday and being there brings old memories.  It's a total recall of my college days and SM City Sta. Mesa is the place that we usually hang out when classes is over or still waiting for the next class.  It's really great going back!


After arriving, I immediately coordinated with SM City Sta. Mesa staff (his name is Jack) and proceeded with the cover.  Good thing I was able to catch up with the parade where Lorax meet Jollibee and roam around of the parade from first floor and up, making a beat of the band.  After the parade, I started taking pictures of different sales and their discounts.  There were lots of things on sale! I did go from down to up and down again.




After that tiring walk around I met with Jack near the Adobo Connection and introduced me to the franchise owner of the establishment.

From their list of different adobo types I was able to taste some of their dishes. Since I really enjoyed dishes cooked with coconut milk I get to try their Adobo sa Gata which is a chicken cooked in a normal adobo style and mixed with coconut milk. Afterwards we were offered desserts and I picked the Pandan Jelly. It got an ice creaming toppings on it.



A 3-Day Sale would not be complete without some show and performances from different celebrities, so for that day they have Aaron Villena hosted by one of the DJs of Tambayan 101.9 FM DJ Jasmin. Fans did make that ear busting shriek when Aaron Villena started singing and moving towards the audience.


An awesome day at SM City Sta. Mesa!
