japan home centre

unlike most women, i don't frequent fashion stores much. i know i should. i'm the first to admit that my wardrobe (lack of it, actually) is very much wanting and is in deep need of changing. one of my staff mentioned that it's odd that i frequent hardware stores. hehe, i love visiting ace hardware, tru value, and cebu home builders. i just couldn't get enough of the lovely merchandise displayed in those stores. in my defense, i like going there because there are so many things there that i'd love to have for my house. i get ideas there. sure, i couldn't afford most of the products they carry, but it doesn't stop me from going at all. so, cheapskate as i am, it was truly a delight when i discovered this store at the ground floor of parkmall:

the store claims to be the first and original japanese store in the country: (sorry blurry image)

the store carries a host of different products. their product lines range from household items, cooking wares, school supplies, pet products, personal products, snacks, to party decors and a lot, lot, more. as you can see on their display windows, most of the items there are priced either PhP66 or PhP88. there are products that cost more than that, sure, but if i'm not mistaken almost 90% of their items are priced either 66 or 88.

there are so many items there that i'd wish to get for myself. but top of my list for now are these two:

i need the first one because i need to put a little semblance that this is indeed a yoga room;

i haven't done yoga in almost a year, and naturally i gained back the weight i lost, and with it the symptoms of my beautiful u. i can't afford to be sick again, so perhaps this little inspiration can get me to take up yoga again.
the yoga wall stickers can be found on one of the shelves near the entrance facing first family home appliance center corp.

and since my symptoms are back, i need these mattress protectors for my bed

they can be found displayed at the housekeeping section. simply get in the store through the entrance by the escalators. the store is beside kodak image center:

and go to the 'housekeeping section' (picture 5). the last shelf in that section (not seen in pix), facing the wall where cleaning products are displayed (see the man in black in the pix?), is where you can find the mattress protectors.
p.s. to secret santa: these pix were taken last november 29, 2012. if they re.arranged their display, just kindly ask their store attendants. if you feel that you just have to give more, then i could use another cupcake mold, hehe :) .. thanks in advance!!!
