Tokyo had a power outage yesterday. Our area wasn't affected so we were completely in the dark (oy pun yan) until we went to Jon's office. Atre - our usual shopping haven- was still closed! People were milling around confused! All servers crashed! My husband was in Tamachi! And most importantly, Atre, our usual shopping haven, was still closed! Siempre, my first thought was terrorist attack. Then end of the world. Seriously. Can you tell I'm affected by Atre closing?
There was chismis going around in Pinas office that something got blown up , ala-9/11. I didn't start that. LOL.
Then, there were reporters and cameras milling around waiting for Atre to open. So when it finally opened its doors for all same-minded women like moi, they started rolling. And I dragged Joaquin so we can pass by the cameras para maki-extra. Camwhore talaga. I didn't get to watch local TV though. Who knows maybe we were on primetime? It's not everyday that Atre opens at 2pm instead of 11am.
I love it when the it's opening time and all the pretty salesladies in their ultra-fashionable clothes are standing in line in front of their shops, heads down, hands clasped in front of them, bowing low at each and every person that passes by. Kulang na lang they throw rose petals. I feel like a princess. A princess in walking shorts and ratty shirt.
Just kidding. I was wearing a nice dress and pearls.
