If I'm not at work, our(my wife and I) typical weekend consists of binge watching a Netflix series and eating our comfort food that we order online. We're really not the going-out-on-a-weekend type of people. So, only on special and rare occasions we leave the comfort of our home on a weekend. And this Saturday is one of those exceptions.
My wife renewed her mobile postpaid plan and had to pick up her new phone from the service provider's physical store. It is located at the biggest mall in Cebu, SM Seaside City. To save some time and other weekends, she also planned to have her brows trimmed and her nails done. We booked the day and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to make a post about it to be shared in this community.
The original plan was to leave the house before 12 noon, but due to the unexpected rainfall we had to wait for it to stop. For us motorbike commuters, rain is the number one enemy. Squishy shoes with wet socks is not how you want to spend the rest of your day.
We arrived at the mall at around 1:30pm. We immediately went to the food court to have our lunch. Due to the pandemic, mall goers seemed to be fewer compared to the pre-Covid days. I kind of liked it though, to be honest. Fewer people meant fewer queues at the food stalls and a lesser chance of my favorite meal to be sold out.
After lunch, we continued with the plan that was set for the day. She went on to pick up her phone, and had her brows and nails done. Most of the stores implement a "no appointment, no entry" policy, and only allow customers to go inside. There were no waiting areas outside the store so I used this time to go around the mall and take some pictures. Here are some photos I took using my Huawei P30 Lite:

A Little Back Story
SM Seaside City was built in 2015, and since then it is our favorite go-to place when we want to go malling. Due to the fact that it is the largest mall in the island, you rarely see overcrowded spots inside. Especially during these times, where there are restrictions on who and how many can go in.
Snack Time
After an hour or so, I got tired and kind of hungry so I helped myself with some pretzel and coffee in one of the stalls inside the mall.
A few minutes later, my wife called and told me that she was done with her appointments and all ready to go home.
On our way out, we saw that it was already the golden hour, so I took these photos:
Well, that was my boring, non-typical weekend compared to a lot of exciting weekends that were posted here.
