Hello, everyone!
I may not have mentioned this in my previous diary game post, but Valentine's Day was the day that I finally went to SM City after more than a year. I was so happy even though it was a short malling. It was our meeting place since the condo unit we rented is in front of the mall.
I was so itchy to go to the bookstore and art shop, but time didn't permit me to go there. With that, I decided I should go back and have some good smell of the books and lovely sight of art materials.

At first, I was hesitant to go because the number of COVID cases here in Cebu City is still increasing. But when my housemate told me that she will go to SM City, I decided to come with her. I tried finishing my work at 6:30 in the evening, and then I started preparing. I was hoping to ride a jeepney but because it was already 7:00 PM, we decided to ride a taxi.
When we arrived, we went straight to the perfume store. I'm not a fan of perfume, so I turned right and entered a bookstore. I was so happy to smell again the rustic scent of books. I recently bought books on Shopee, but in my mind, if there's a Bridgerton series, I will definitely buy it. As I was looking for some gems, I saw a poetry book, and without thinking, my hand grabbed it. I even saw Kathy Reichs's books. My oh my! I still have lots of pending reads.

I don't want to torture myself, so I went to the counter to pay for the one book that I was intended to buy. Again, without thinking, I asked the lady-in-charge if there are poetry books available. She paused and then displayed nine poetry books in front of me. From one book, I bought three books. I am a softie when it comes to books.

Next to Book Sale was the Art Bar. The gravitational pull of the art shop was immensely strong. I didn't know where to look at first. It was so colorful and pleasing to my eyes. I didn't know what to buy first. It took me almost half an hour to decide I only need two paintbrushes. I wanted to buy pen brush or watercolor pencils, but I was out of budget already.
It was definitely a happy day for me. I am so glad that I went out even just for a bit. I feel like I was a kid. I want to go there soonest, and I just hope and pray this pandemic will be over.
Also, I haven't ridden a jeepney, but I was able to ride a bus. Happy kiddo! I really miss the previous norm.
That would be all guys!
Keep safe always!
Keep safe always!

I am really wondering why the numbers that we have here in the Philippines in reference to Covid19 is still increasing? You need to take care. Here in Manila it's like everything is back to normal though. #twopercent #philippines
Back to normal naman yung dito sa Cebu, kaya dumami ulit ang cases. Kailan pa kaya ito matatapos? You, too. Take care always! :)
