The rain can't stop us from strolling Lipa City. I wore my favorite hoodie while Mama and my little brother brought an umbrella. So we are more than ready to walk in this crazy weather. Aside from the rain, the busy road was crowded during our visit there, and it's seriously tiresome. All I could do while walking was sigh because we chose this, we want this, Lol. Still, I enjoyed it, especially while checking out some thrift shops (≧▽≦).

We are taking our time walking around in here, and there are times that I will stop because I still remember some roads in there, which I often used when I lived in Lipa with my sister for a short time. Just some roads, particularly in the market, as for the shops and spots, I can't remember most of them anymore. Lol.

Look at all the people who are walking with us. Some maybe are out for their usual routine, some have to go to work, or maybe some need to buy something somewhere. We are really no different from them. As for us, well, I'm actually just following my brother, lol. He knows the way, so he is leading us. Lol.

And our first stop was in a thrift shop. Some items are in good quality, but I couldn't find anything. I want to buy a short, but all in there was a super short short. What I needed was a little above-the-knee short, not too short, just a bit short. That's how most of my shorts are right now. And I can only find that kind of short in a thrift shop, especially a cargo short. Anyways, the first photo was in a different thrift shop, we couldn't find anything in there as well.

We continued walking around here and there, we had a few more stops in some shops too to check some items. I actually got so busy checking everything that I didn't take a lot of photos. Lol.I got lost in my own world in there, same with Mama and my little brother, in the end, we still couldn't find anything. Lol.

We just walk and walk and walk, seeing all the vehicles in there stuck because of the traffic. I was a bit thankful that we were walking and not riding in those vehicles. There's no traffic in Bansud, so I will never get used to this kind of traffic. And when there's a traffic, I can't help but get anxious especially if we need to cross road.

I also noticed some vendors on the sidewalk that sell socks. I'm curious, though, is this allowed? Because even if they are on the side, if people flock in there, it will be hard to walk by. But well, it's not my problem anymore, so that's that.

Anyways, we're not able to buy clothes from a thrift shop, but I have a take-home of Ube Halaya. Tadaaaaaa! Seriously though, I say the price of 60 pesos is so worth it even though it is super small. It tastes really, really good. It's creamy, and whoa, I just can't get enough of it. You know that feeling that you have to stop eating it, but my mouth is craving more of it. Lol. That's what I feel in here. It's just the best, really. I bought it in Lipa Market. I am really hesitant to buy it because it's pricey for me, but then it just looks so good that I bought it in the end. Lol. Even Mama and little brother love it. Ehe

hate when I can't find cloth that I want and paint in my head;))

Yah, there's really a lot of people too. Oh the snow, it'd be super cold with that.

I to would prefer walking to being stuck in traffic
Thanks for joining the Wednesday walk
Have a great day

It'll be annoying to get stuck in a traffic 😫

Have a great day to you too, thanks ✨

Sounds like you had a fun stroll even in the rain :) At may baon pang umuwi hehe. Naiimagine ko lang kung pano kasarap.

Sis, maulan ba talaga dyan or ngayong taon lang?

Yep, yep, hehe. Di ako nagsising I bought it even though namamahalan ako hahaha.

Maulan sya during our visit eh. Umunit lang nong pauwi na kami ng Mindoro 🙉🙉

Kudos to my fellow thrift shopper 😄

Haha, mas masaya mag thrift shop talaga no. Lol
