the Triangle North of Manila

A.K.A. trinoma... That's the new Ayala mall located in north EDSA. It is right in front of SM North EDSA. The other end of the MRT stops in front of it bringing the mall foot traffic.

We were so excited to go there (Poj, my mom, and me). We went there yesterday. It was raining and there was heavy traffic but it was ok.

They said that the parking lot can handle 8000 vehicles but I guess not all are functioning yet because we had a hard time parking.

The mall was huge and complete! All the major stores that you would wish to be in a mall were there. There was toys r us, comic alley, zara, mango, nike, nike women, crocs, all flip flops, quiksilver, nothing but water, gozum, cinderella, national bookstore, princess club, hobbes and landes, people r people, the t-shirt project and a lot more! not all are open though. I think only about 15% of the mall's tenants are functioning. The mall seemed dark. I guess it was because the lights were covered with colored plastic things or maybe because not all the stores are open.

The mall looked like glorietta in the inside. It also had an activity center. There was a set-up of Strawberry Shortcake yesterday. cute!

The major fastfoods such as Mcdo, KFC, and Jollibee were not to be missed. We ate in Jollibee. I like the Jollibee there coz it had a modern look. There were also sofas, just like the ones in coffee shops.
I liked the plaza the best! It was sort of outdoors and it had beautiful greenery. hehehe.. loved it! The food stalls were located there. There was Dencio's, Gerry's, Crustacia, and Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf.
We live in the QC area and therefore we travel far just to get to Galleria, Megamall, Glorietta, Greenbelt, or the Fort. Ayala did a great job building this mall. We do not have to travel far anymore. The shops that we frequent in serendra (crocs & all flip flops) are there. I hope there would be an outlet of Sonja's cupcakes though. hehehe..

I think the mall caters to classes A, B, and C, although there would still be the D & E crowd since it is located in north EDSA after all.

anyway...

We bought jibbitz yesterday in crocs. At first, I really did not like crocs since they looked weird. I also thought that they would prevent your feet from breathing. After trying them, I changed my mind. they were soft and super light!I now have 2 pairs (1 prima and 1 kids cayman). I would really love to get a mary jane though... after that i'll stop and resume collecting havies.. hehehe... The jibbitz, I think, is cros' selling point. I bought a kids cayman because I wanted to put cute jibbitz!

That's all for now.

Keep on Shining! (oo, nakakahawa si mariel rodriguez!!!)
