Right in the far side of the Metro Manila, the SM City San Lazaro Mall caters to most of the people and students in this area and their recent 3 Day Sale made it clear that this part of city sure does have plenty of people.


The 3 Day Sale started last Friday, September 28 where perhaps people have already started with their list of things to buy.   And as for me, I did my searching together with some of the bloggers and before that we were treated with a small festivity of food which I will be writing down on a different post because its really gastronomic.  For now I'll be talking about the sale and what happened to the sale yesterday.


As usual the people prefer to do their malling in the afternoon.  That's  the time when people crowded the mall.   It's really amazing looking at people doing their hunt and doing their per boutique hunt.


So what's the major things that happened during the 3 Day Sale?  Well, first of course there are lots of discounts and sales from different stores, second there was a dice game that shoppers can play and get a chance to win some prizes, third there were also some treats for the shoppers who craves for some foodies with their crave and save, and also there were drum and beat presentation right in front of the entrance to get the attention of passersby.






If you're in the area you still got some few hours to enjoy the sale!
