My Cherub's Den

These are the things that I bought for Yogi’s recognition ceremony at his school and his birthday. He wore the polo-shirt to school and the long-sleeved shirt on his birthday. Both shirts are of brand names, thus, they weren’t cheap at all. I wish they were like the cheap insurance mom just got: more affordable but of high quality. Kids’ things are now even more costly than what adults wear, it seems.

I looked for some unbranded kids wear but I simply didn’t like what I saw. The clothes were as cheap as their price. I know there were quality goods there that were also cheap, but I just wasn’t in the mood to search further because we were running out of time, not to mention that our tummies were rumbling, too.

The price that I paid for those shirts were worth it, though, since they definitely are of high quality, and they were for very special occasions.

Shopping for the things needed for my son Yogi’s recognition day at school and for his birthday was really an adventure. First off, my credit card provider’s terminal was having problems which made it impossible for me to use my credit card. I then had to use my cash which I was supposed to use for other things.

Next, the barcode scanner of the cashier at the second mall I went to to buy my birthday gifts for Yogi was messing up, thus, I had to jump to another cashier’s booth which meant I had to fall in line again in another long queue.

That was an adventure, but not exactly the kind I like; there were no excitement and thrills or romance involved; just aggravation and irritation. Nevertheless, it was still no biggy for me for it was another bonding moment for my son and I, and despite those mishaps, we still managed to enjoy the day as well as the snacks we had. (“,)

It was a holiday here in our city on Monday so i thought of shopping for groceries with mom and Yogi. It so happened that my sister was planning to go too, so, we all went there together. We arrived there at around 4 o’clock in the afternoon and as i’ve expected, the mall was crowded. Fortunately, when we were done shopping after about an hour, some of the counters didn’t have long queues anymore. Yogi wasn’t feeling well that time because he has fever but he still managed to smile on the pics. See that?
