The Gateway in Cubao happens to be a place I rarely go to these days, and given that reality, when I was asked by Barbie to go to Gateway so she could do a work-related task, I did not mind the fact... even if the entire day was mostly rain-filled.
Good thing too, because this meant that there were not too many people in the streets nor at the mall - so the usual X-mas shopping crowds were not there. This allowed me to find parking (slightly challenging) and while Barbie was completing a reservation in Max's, Bernice and I were simply looking around in the mall's Fully Booked branch where I looked around for something interesting.
What I found out was simply too good to pass up. Simply put, I realized that the bookstore had a 20% discount for most of the books - prompting me to buy two books (one for Bernice) and two compilations. After the bookstore - which was just our way of passing time while waiting for Barbie, we went looking around a bit - and I then took a picture of the mall's multi-storied tree (as can be seen in the picture), which was apparently the mall's decor highlight. We then enjoyed some ice cream from Dairy Queen, before heading back home.
