It has been more than a year since I last visited Divi Land. So when my mom asked me if I could accompany her to Divi, I immediately agreed. I just had to arrange that someone look after baby Gwenks when we go there. My initial plan was to wait for her tatay and go to Divi on Sunday, but when MIL told me that she is coming over Friday night, I thought that it would be better if we can go on a Saturday.

We left the house early, around 6:00 am. We were at Divi by 7:30. Our first stop was to look for baby clothes and accessories. We need to prioritize it so that we can budget the 'remaining' money for other stuff. We got our baby loots for a little more than 1k. We got a lot of discounts as we were the store's 'buena mano'. After that, we look for mom's curtains... while scouting for the cloth which she will sew for her curtains, I was already looking for baby clothes and I was able to buy several of it. We also got some maternity dusters and blouses for my SIL, a couple of slippers for mom and some blouses for me. We finished shopping by 10:00 am and got home by 12:30 noon. I would have wanted to shop more but I didn't have more budget for it.

As early as now, I am already planning when I would go back to Divi. I plan to buy items for baby's birthday party as early as October so that I would have to join the people doing their Christmas rush. I want to finish everything by November, for the January party.

*A simple tip for those who are planning to go to Divi. (1) Be there early, 'buena manos' are given more discount. It is easier to haggle. (2) Dress simply. It is better to leave your diamond rings at home, even just for the day. (3) Buy in bulk, if possible.  The more you buy, the bigger discount you can get.
