It’s Christmas season and during this holiday period, people flock the malls to buy presents in celebration of the Christmas spirit. Also, people take advantage of the holiday sale that’s going on all department stores and malls. This afternoon, I took a stroll at the mall only to find out how crowded it already was. There were lots of stuff and even those promotional tote bags got a space in the corner. People really are rushing to buy stuff and I expect a more congested scene tomorrow considering that it will be the Christmas eve soon.
Archive for the “Shopping” CategoryThis afternoon, I went to the mall to meet someone. I was scheduled to meet her an hour after I arrived at the mall, so I was super late. I was in a hurry due to the fact that I was already late. I was rushing towards the entrance of the mall and came to a halt upon facing the guard, and guess what, I did not run to any of the security checks the mall guards are supposed to do as a security routine. This incident did not affect me during that time as I was preoccupied with the meeting. It only came to me when I the news reported a robbery case involving a store with a security guard. The robbery would have been stopped if the guard did his duty well given that he was not an accomplice. This scenario might happen if I was a robber and I entered the mall, and the guard did not ran a security check on me. It just so happen I was not, but what if? Every person should be responsible and vigilant in doing their jobs. To avoid any accidents to happen. One week to go and my semester officially ends! But, I still have to put so much extra effort because I can kiss the semester goodbye. I have three final exams coming my way and yes, these exams fall on the same day. Good thing though is that I have a copy of the reference book that my professor use. I got it from Amazon books which was recommended to me by my colleague. Thanks to that book, I don;t have too study too hard but still I’ll study hard.

Two is Better than OnePosted by Vince in Health, Hobbies and Interest, Shopping, tags: weight lossAfter the summer, I am back to class and now I am back to gaining weight again. But I won’t lose hope and I know that good weight loss pills will be helping me on my way to losing my desired weight. The summer had made my clothes feel tighter which indicates that I have gained weight. I tried to exercise everyday but my body gets tired so easily so though I did not give up on the daily exercise, I wish to lose more weight even faster. School officially starts in less than two weeks from now and I have to find books that I need for my major subjects. My colleague informed me of a book she recently acquired online. It was the latest edition of the textbook our professors were talking about. The book was to arrive in three days from now and I want to take a look at it and browse first to see if I have to buy a copy of it too. She got the book from Amazon books and was able to get it online. All she had to do was to pay and to wait. Now, the book is on its way to her hands and to the rest of us, her colleagues. I think I’d start checking other books so that I can order them in bulk. It is wise to buy school supplies in bulk especially in notebooks. This is a good strategy to save money for parents who have more than one children that goes to school this year. Since a child would need more than one notebook, buying them in bulk will save you money. Buying wholesale is a good strategy as one can be free from the charges that retailers put on their goods, increasing the market price of every good. By buying it wholesale, these charges are eliminated giving the buyer savings from the sale of the products in bulk. And buying notebooks in bulk is timely during this season of new school year. When enrollment starts, then the time for shopping school supplies begins. Once again, school is about to start and for many, this is a time of spending. A time to spend for school supplies, tuition fees and for allowance. It is expected the school supply section as well as the bags and the shoes sections will be flooded with customers to buy new items for school. It is also a time when there are a lot of sale going on in almost all malls. Also, it is expected that companies will give bonuses to their employees for this season, the start of another school year. This is a great opportunity to explore the world of trade and the world of business itself. But it may not be too easy as every business will always have its peaks. It can also be expected that some parents will try to reuse some of the school supplies and even recycle unused pages of notebooks and bind them into a new one. This way, they are able to save money lest, the merchandiser will have lesser sales. Nevertheless, only few parents do this since most student prefer to use new items every start of the school year. |
