A shopping trip to SnR is always an event in our family, parang field trip. We use the big family van so we can all go and shop for our supplies for the month. My most favorite thing to do while shopping at SnR is discovering new products that I wouldn't find anywhere else. Of course the food at SnR is always good, sulit na ang one whole pizza to keep us happy for lunch and merienda. So I went around and took pics during our trip to SnR yesterday so that I can share with you some … [Continue reading]
