Day 7 - Off to the market - not!

With the impending first day of school early June, now is the time to get to Divisoria to check out their bargain items.  I took the bus to Quiapo intending to take a short jeepney ride to Divisoria from there.  The bus took a detour and went around Manila proper before heading back to Quiapo - wiping out precious time doing so.  I arrived in Quiapo high noon and realized that heading to Divisoria at that time will just be futile as I will not be able to cover at least an area where they specialize in selling electronic stuff.  I decided to just stay in Quiapo and visited the church.  I skipped lunch to give me more time and headed straight to where they sell computer peripherals - mind you, even though Divisoria is about a klick away you can still get them cheaper at Divisoria and haggle it down to almost nary a profit.

I got driving sleeves, Rina's pill-minder, gift bag and other stuff.  I also have an idea of how much items I'm planning on getting in Divisoria goes for.  So watch out Divisoria, I'll be there soon!
