Revisiting The Most Beautiful Ukay Spot in the World

A few hours after GOLD, my family and I dragged our sleepy buts to our car and headed to Pangasinan for my grandmother's, uncle's, nephew's, cousin's and dad's birthday celebration. After getting a measly 2 hour slumber in the comfort of my own bed, it was no surprise that my sister and I slept throughout the 4 hour trip.  We were greeted by warm smiles and this beautiful piece of work.

:O

To kill time, we went to the amazing Wagwag ukay ukay but and on the way we passed by this uber provincial/scenic view of the tobacco plantation and so we took pictures of it and the kind man tending it.

Going back to The Most Beautiful Ukay Spot in the World felt like a homecoming of some sort hihi. The first stall thingy we went to had a huge pile of clothes that were only for P5 each!! Now that we had a lot of time on our hands unlike the last time we went there, we definitely scoured the place for treasures and boy did we find them!

This shirt has been on my mind since we last visited and when I finally made up my mind (with the help of my friends) that it isn't sacrilegious, I asked for its price and found out it wasn't for sale HUHUHU turns out the shirt was acting as their protector to ward off business bad luck

Unlike the last time we were in the area, we got the chance to explore other neighboring ukay ukay places! The other's aren't like the huge one that we love but they were good in their own ways.

The Most Beautiful Ukay Spot In The World

I wrote a haiku about the best ukay ukay spot in the world. It goes like this:

The best ukay spot,

Wag-wag is where it is at,

I wanna live there

I apologize if my heartfelt haiku brought you to tears HAHA joke. How can I begin to describe the place? Ahh it's on the side of the road. It looks pretty normal but when you get inside it's like you got warped into another dimension or like how I imagined a gypsy bazaar would be like. It was messy, but it just added to the beauty of it. Imagine there are 2 sides filled with thrift stuff then there's this cave thingy at the far end and when you enter it...ta-da! A buttload of ukay stalls still! It seriously overwhelmed me. 

Crying

It was my first time to be in an ukay ukay that sold toys and books and board games and cds huhu

The place smelled like fried fish/sinigang which was so cool cos it made feel all patriotic and not to mention very very hungry hehe. 

There was this very tumblr-girl-cult-y shirt that really piqued my interest. It was in good condition and it had like fresco paintings all around and it had Jesus in the middle and it was sequins-y and yeah and yeah and yeah.

I cannot cannot cannot cannot cannot cannot wait to go back there!! 

Pangasinan

Greetings! I am now back from the dead yay. This week has been stressful yadda yadda and to end our week, (omg I just realized why weekends are called weekends, because they end the week wow) we went to our grandparents' place in Pangasinan for my grandpa's birthday. We stopped for a while and ate at SM Rosales and lo and behold, they we're in the middle of their 3-Day Sale woopieeee.

We went back to the car after a quick shop and headed to Mapandan. What I love the most about road trips are the super funny auti moments my sister and I always have in the back seat of the car haha. I think our parents' ears got way abused hehe. 

PAPANG! YAY

Panda(y) the uber snobby dog was there 

Chelo. All along we thought her name was Chona HAHA

My sister dubbed thee as the 'invisible sneaky man'

I originally planned on spending my Saturday with my packed canvases and paints. I imagined myself basking in the fresh breeze and being one with nature and all that but instead I ended up freaking myself out by having an American Horror Story marathon hehe. Seriously, how could I miss the beauty of that show? I'm so addicted to it right now huhu but I did feel stupid for watching it the entire day when night time came and had me all paranoid and jumpy hihi.

The house behind me is supposedly haunted HAHA

Around 5 in the afternoon, I had this strong urge to indulge in sweets. I became Pregger Gab with my cravings hehe. So we went to town to satisfy our cravings. My cupcake craving, my sister's ukay ukay craving and my mum's church craving. 

After offering candles in the church, we looked for the ukay ukay place around town. And my my my did that ukay place put all the other ukay places I've been to here in Manila to shame. I swear, it was the most amazing place in the entire ukay-verse. 

P.S. I did not get the chance to eat a cupcake :(
