Saturday Errand Day

Pasig Palengke

Saturdays are errand days. We went to Pasig Palengke to get some veggies for our daily juicing routine. The bulk of food we buy are enough for three days – with twice-a-day produce – one in the morning and one in the evening.

Novo Department Store

Afterwards, we went to Novo – Jaycelle’s most favorite department store. All kinds of plastics in the world are contained in this two-storey building just beside the public market.

It poses the thought as modest even though it could be considered a common knowledge deep inside all of us.

The worst part comes in the presence of warning signs leaning toward the unfriendly side. Everywhere people are told to look after themselves and to not leave behind valuables and children.

These are just some of the status messages of salespeople to the unruly patrons – which I’m sure the management either is unaware of or couldn’t care less about – that aim to keep things in order.
