Last weekend as my usual routine of mall going/window shopping/apparel drooling/resto eating/walking and reflecting in life goes to action I suddenly stopped in front of a renovated store that looks familiar even though I barely pass through that area then it suddenly occurred that this store I’m seeing that’s being renovated was a former Paul Smith Store!Can you believe it!I surely can’t!I’m exaggerating because I haven’t been in the store and I haven’t bought anything even a pair of shoes and now it’s being renovated for a calorie-laden,carb-laden,heart-stopping,artery-clogging,stroke-inducing donut store.Alas,I am merely a citizen of meager wage earner and for now,I have no executive power to stop the operation and just go on with our lives without a Paul Smith store here in the PI…oh well,at least there still is burberry (not the prorsum),Prada,Louis Vuitton,Gucci,Balenciaga,Escada,Marc Jacobs,Michael Kors,Salvatore Ferragamo among others that are still here to tempt people into buying their luxurious apparel and accessories.
