Finding Trustful Sellers in the Philippines


The best part when you visit your seller who you usually shop from at 168 Shopping Mall, 999 Shopping Mall and Tutuban Shopping Mall. They end up missing you when you haven’t seen them for a very long time.

They start asking why you haven’t come by their store for awhile.

You tell them you don’t go out shopping due to the coronavirus they had informed me that is not the in thing here because they don’t feel you can get it.

As you are walking around with a disposable mask some people are wearing a mask just like you, there are others don’t have any mask on. The ones who are coughing don’t have a mask and you feel safe because you have one on.

You also notice there are a lot of people wearing their disposable mask on the wrong way as the wire are on the area of their chin when the right way the wire is suppose to be in your nose area where you can pinch it to the size of your nose.

I have seen people look at us as we pass by them, but they also have a mask on. Not sure what they are thinking or if they are thinking we are the same nationality as them.

Some stores had mistaken my mom being Chinese because the way she had looked. My mom was getting upset that the people we’re thinking she had cornonavirus just because the way she look Chinese.

I realize to this point even if you are Chinese doesn’t necessary mean you have the coronavirus.

My mom was getting fed up people looking at her strange as they stay away from her. She felt people were avoiding her when actually she just has Chinese blood but she is a Filipina.

I am sure there are other people who are experiencing the same thing from her and sometimes looks becomes deceiving to others.

Even though you are wearing a mask to protect yourself people stare at you even if you are just protecting yourself from people who are coughing in front of you or passing by. I just didn’t mind them any more with the eyes glaring at you.

It has been months since we had visited Divisoria 168 Mall, 999 Shopping Mall and Tutuban because we’re preventing ourselves from the coronavirus.

From all my favorite stores that I had regular sellers who I usually buy from have told me they are very slow and not many sales.

They even have their boss who is stranded in Hong Kong and China because they are banned from traveling back to the Philippines.

The strange part is you wonder why the parking lot is so full, but there is no one really shopping at the stores.

Not only clothing I have sellers I buy from also from a fruit stand where I get reasonable prices. My mom always teases me that these sellers may have a crush on me because they always look for me when I am not with her to go shopping.

Cora the owner always gives me extra fruits and always smiles at me. She says, I look like a Marie Clara the simple Filipina girl who doesn’t dress up so fancy like other ladies out there.

Cora said, I am the quiet type who looks very sweet not so loud and out spoken like my mom.

Cora’s brother and son also work with her and they do the same they hand me more fruits that I buy from them.

The best part when you are a regular customer and you treat them as nice as they are to you the treatment becomes greater.

I have been buying from Cora for many years I use to visit and buy from her every twice a week. I buy fruits for myself and my parent in-law.

Cora gives me a discount and let me know if the fruits are sweet. She doesn’t sell me fruits if they are not eatable.

You can’t find that kind of people who are very honest some people want to sell their fruits to just gain an income from it.
