Last night, I had to buy a phone gadget in a hurry. It was eight in the evening and I had to look for a store to buy it. And look what I found---SM City Naga! The gadget I needed was right there at SM Appliances---all options and various models available at Manila prices.

The unusually heavy traffic along Panganiban avenue on a very rainy, almost stormy night courtesy of three weather disturbances around Luzon, suddenly reminded me that this was the day the much hyped grand opening of SM took place. All parking spaces outside the mall were occupied. Guards on raincoat guided us to a third-level parking area. We were told there were more parking spaces at the fourth level.
