The Wonders of Ukay-Ukay

last week, diosa, casey and i (super friends) went to ukay-ukay to kill our intolerable boredom. sure this is not my first time to go to ukay-ukay. i've been to ukay several times with my other friends and just found myself itchying and tired looking for some good items that are good as new, fashionable yet cheap but ended up finding nothing and buying nothing. i envy my other girl friend gladz with her amazing power and patience in finding great items at ukay.

me: "Uy! Bago? Nice!"
gladz: "Nope.. it's from ukay."
Me: "Talaga! Di halata! Sosyal!"
gladz: "Hulaan mo kung magkano?"
me: "100.. 50.. ?"
gladz: "Twenty... haha"

then i wonder what kind of ukay power this girl has. is it the ukay where she went to? is it her patience? is it her determination to find something for herself? no. it's about luck. yes, i say ukay is a matter of luck. there are many chances when i found something nice but has damage underneath, nice but it's not your size, nice but you hate the color or nice but it was already taken by somebody. unlike in malls and departments stores, you can't ask for sizes, colors and for another same item. in ukay,each item is the only item. finding an item you like, in good condition, your size, your style and your color is none other than LUCK. hehehe

and this time i think i got lucky! :) wooohoo! :)

here are the items that i scored...






i got two pairs of shoes for only 300 pesos. 150 pesos per pair. and it's almost good as new. :)

i also got this cute jacket for also 150 pesos. i love the color and it fits so right. :)


diosa and casey have also found some cute shoes that fit them and while paying in the counter we asked some sales ladies and a cashier when will they get new stuff again because we think we have already got all the good items that we want in their store. they said second week of december is the next bagsakan and for sure we'll be back for more.
