Remember when you were in highschool and you had no idea what to wear for Prom? Well back then, we…read moreonly had beepers and tamagochis and the internet had almost nothing in it. There were no smart phones, no Instagram, Facebook or Pinterest to help us figure out what kind of dress was best. Even more, most of our stores back then were local. No Zara or Mango stores at the time and if we needed something formal, a trip to the local mananahi with our mothers who usually decide on everything was our only option. Nowadays, kids have it easy. They can easily just go to Se La Vi Clothing and walk away worry-free, clutching a new gown that fits like a glove. It's no wonder so many ladies trust this shop- they can create a custom dress from scratch, working with little as a sketch and create something beautiful in a short amount of time. For students in need of a prom dress, I suggest you get in touch with Angelie Sevilla, the owner at least 2 months before your prom. Best to get ahead of everyone.

I hope that analogy helps clear things up for you guys out there. Anyway, Pop Culture has a lot of small stores, one of them sells video game hardware and games. Most of them sell clothes for girls at a really low price point. Then there's a store that specializes in selling ipies, bongs, and rolling paper and other Rastafarian paraphernalia. It's interesting to walk down this part of Alabang Town Center because of just how cool some of the stores are. Most of them have forgettable names, but it doesn't make the place any less interesting. When I just window shop for the heck of it, I find myself strolling around this place even if it's just for a few minutes.

Do you sometimes feel like your limited budget is keeping you from enjoying a mall? That's how I…read morefeel often whenever I'm at Alabang Town Center and mostly everything I see in shops are out of my budget. Though with Pop Culture around, I finally have a place where things are of "within reach" on those days where I'm in a pinch. Pop Culture is that section of Town, beside the food court that's basically a small group of boutiques that sell a lot of good clothing, accessories, shoes, bags and whatnot. There's a Girl Shoppe by the entrance, which sells a variety of women's accessories, while the other stores inside have a lot of imported clothes from Bangkok and sometimes locally manufactured like Get Laud. Lots of Korean accessories too. What I love about Korean accessories are how dainty and quirky the designs can be. Most of the prices here are relatively cheap to averagely priced (around Php 100-450 for, let's say, a top) so there's surely something that fits every budget.

I was walking around Westgate with much time to spare when I saw Magarbo from the outside. It stood…read moreout quite well from all the surrounding restaurants. Curious, I stepped inside, expecting to just browse through nice clothes with high price tags (this was Alabang and near Alabang Town Center, after all). Sure enough, the clothes were arranged by color, as the usual in branded clothing stores in malls, but the thing was, no two clothes seemed to look identical, even at first glance. The lady in the shop, who turned out to be the owner, greeted me warmly, as I looked around. She explained to me that while the clothes were secondhand, they were very high-quality, many coming from celebrity wardrobes. No wonder they all looked quite good - definitely not your usual ukay-ukay despite being secondhand. The owner happily helped me choose clothes that would suit me, and I was surprised that most of her choices really looked good on me. She even had fashion advice on what to pair them with. Best of all, each item was just P100-P200. I ended up buying three clothes totaling P500.

Normally I would start my review with some sort of rant or tongue in cheek humor, but for those who…read moreenjoy that sort of thing in my reviews, I apologize. I cannot in good conscience do it for this one out of sheer respect for one of my friends whose devotion to her Christian faith knows no bounds. To you, I hope you appreciate the fact this fact. Generation Worship is a store that brings a much needed modern update to the religious or faithful demographic's sense of fashion. More often than not, people would wear shirts that had a picture of Jesus himself on it, whether or not Jesus would approve of profiteering from his image is something best left to academic debate. I have to say though, that their products are actually quite good. The colors are nice, the fabric looks like it's of great quality. I have half the mind to buy something from their store and a mind wholly set on buying one for a friend of mine since I'm sure she'd appreciate something like this.

My husband was going to attend a black tie event for work and we were looking for a black suit for…read morehim to wear. We made our usual rounds to department stores and popular suits and Barong shops, but even the most common looking coat cost over two thousand pesos. There's this sleek-looking store in Alabang Town Center that sells men's wear called Merger, but we didn't think of looking there because the suits looked so dapper and expensive. But we were running out of time then so we decided to give it a try. We stepped in and the sales lady welcomed us with a smile. We got lucky that day because some of their items were on sale. Hubby found a sleek black coat that was so him; it had some fancy details that made the coat stand out, but not in a tacky way. Best of all, it costs less than 2,000! The coat fitted hubby perfectly, but he needed pants too. The attendant helped us search for matching pants, but we couldn't find one that fit my husband. We wanted to buy a set of coat and pants so we asked the lady if she can put the coat on hold for us until the next day, she agreed. We didn't find another pair of suit so I went to Merger the next day and the coat was there, waiting for me with my name on the tag. It's a good thing we didn't let the snobbish appearance of the store scare us. Hubby got a dapper-looking coat at a minimal cost. We're definitely going to buy there again.

Nice place to go out for dinner if you're lazy to fight with the throngs of people at the mall. Restaurants are a bit pricier but you have some casual chains like Yellow Cab and Army Navy.

I went there last weekend with my family to have dinner and I liked the fact that it's not too crowded; finding a parking spot was a breeze. We didn't have to wait to be seated in our chosen restaurant (there is a variety of cuisines to choose from) and I wasn't stressed out about losing my active two year old in the mall or my infant acquiring a virus from a mass of people. After dinner, we walked to the Korean grocery located inside the mall and indulged in our favorite Korean ice cream. They also have the Commercenter Cinemas with Taters as their food concessionaire (major plus points for me). The place is perfect if you want some nice and laidback family time.

I grew up reading books. Story books, comic books, history books which my dad happily supplied when…read moreI was a child. When I grew up, I was buying them myself and it didn't matter where. Local stores, garage sales, book fairs- I was always there. I never felt guilty for buying books; I could buy 20 at a time and feel no remorse. So imagine my happiness when Fully Booked finally opened its doors to the public. It felt like having access to something so grand and I knew there and then that finally, I could get the books I want anytime I please. Fully Booked always has the latest and the greatest literature around and it's been my constant source of supply ever since it opened. Tips: 1. Be ready to spend when you're here! 2. Check out the Tin Tin exhibition when you have time.

Sure there…read moreare other Fully Booked bookstores out there, but I don't any of them rival this one in terms of size, and even if they do, none of them can probably compare to the ambiance of this place. The fact that it's located in the south means that it doesn't draw as large of a crowd as the Fully Booked in BGC. It has around four floors if memory serves me right and each floor is full of the kind of books that can satisfy almost any person's needs. There are books on speculative fiction, different kinds of hobbies, history, and so much more. I love this place because they keep most of the book marks, posters, and other trinkets and baubles that they sell down stairs. Once you get to the second floor and beyond, it's all books from there. It's also very quiet. I actually have half the mind not to talk about this particular Fully Booked out of fear that more and more people might want to go here.
