  1. Moonlit Bazaar @ Rockwell: shopping finds

    November 21, 2011 by ajay

    So bazaar season is here,and you know what this means right? The shopping madness begins! I love bazaars for last minute Christmas shopping and being a haven of unique finds. There’s always something here that I can’t find elsewhere and if you’re lucky, you can even haggle and bring the price down. Of course you can also go to a bargain paradise like Divisoria, but it gets too crowded there at this time of year. A bazaar becomes your bet for being accessible, safer and with airconditioning to boot!

    A week ago, the family found ourselves in Rockwell Powerplant Mall in Makati City and I stumbled upon the Moonlit Bazaar. It looked attractive from outside with soft lighting emanating from the tents. I checked it out after paying a P100 entrance fee. This bazaar is relatively small compared to the Noel or Cuenca bazaars. Still, it was a treasure trove of interesting items and I ended up buying more than I expected.

    I saw a drink mug shaped like a camera lens but it was kinda pricey at P1000. So I settled instead for this cigarette lighter that looks like a miniature camera. Just press on the shoot button when you want to light up your cig. Neat eh? Only P250.

  3. December 2009 bazaar schedule: for that last-minute Christmas shopping

    December 3, 2009 by ajay

    With Christmas barely three weeks away, holiday shopping is now at a feverish pitch. Luckily, the season is also the peak time for bazaars, which enable shoppers like us to get everything in one roof. I like bazaars, for as long as my energy level allows me. That’s because I find items here that I don’t usually see in department stores. Best of all, you can haggle!

    Here’s a list of bazaars for the remainder of December 2009 in Manila, or what remains of the holiday season:

    December 4 to 6 The Big Holiday Outlet Sale (SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia)

    December 4 to 16 9th World Bazaar Festival (World Trade Center, Pasay City)

    December 3 to 6 Converse Mega Sale (Megatrade Hall 2, SM Megamall)

    December 3 to 5 Baratillo sa UP (UPSSI, Diliman QC)
