Today was another lazy day at the mall for me. After work, I strolled around aimlessly, hoping to find something I wanted to buy or perhaps not, it depends. Window shopping is one of my favorite pastimes, especially at the mall near my office. I'd love for you to join me today as I explore the newly opened Uniqlo branch in Cebu City. This one is located at the Ground Floor, Padriga Entrance, Ayala Malls Central Bloc - Cebu IT Park, Cebu City, Philippines.
Christmas decorations are already up at the mall's entrance, which is a sure sign that the holiday season is just around the corner. Here in the Philippines, we start celebrating Christmas as early as September, although decorations usually go up after Halloween. Walking through the mall's entrance, you can't help but feel the festive atmosphere that Christmas brings. Personally, I think Christmas is the best time of the year. There's something about it that brings joy to everyone's hearts. The season is all about giving and forgiving, and it's a time to be happy and spread joy. I'm glad that the mall has already put up the decorations, so that everyone who enters can feel the Christmas spirit. Walking around the mall seeing all these Christmas decorations will add so much ease.
It's amazing how even escalators are decorated with Christmas designs. The mall seems to have gone all out with Christmas decorations, as every corner has something festive to offer. It's a great way to get into the holiday spirit! I stumbled upon a signage that caught my attention during my mall stroll.
A new Uniqlo branch has opened on the ground floor of the Ayala Malls Central Bloc in Cebu IT Park, Cebu City, Philippines. However, the Padriga Mall entrance is not familiar to me, so I will need to look around to locate it. The Ayala Malls Central Bloc has four entrances, and though I'm unsure about the Padriga Mall entrance, I'll find it eventually.
I easily located the entrance of Padriga after wandering around for a bit. It's hard to miss with the big signage, situated across from the Samsung flagship store. I snapped a few photos from the upper level, and was excited to see the Uniqlo store I had been seeking when I looked down. The signage next to the escalator pointed me in the right direction, and I headed down to the store.
Upon entering the store, I couldn't help but notice a corner that immediately grabbed my attention. It showcased a collection of T-shirts, each designed to promote World Peace. What made these shirts even more special was that they were created by individual designers and contributors. As we all know, maintaining peace is crucial not only for ourselves and our country but for the world as a whole. These shirts serve as a reminder of the importance of peace, unity, and equality among all people. This project is truly impressive and a great way to promote World Peace. The designs on display were stunning, and the prices were reasonable, making it even more appealing to support such a wonderful cause. Who wouldn't want to promote peace?
Whenever I visit clothing shops or malls, I head straight to the kids' section because it's my favorite section after the Peace corner at the entrance. Uniqlo has always been my go-to store because of their unique designs and the smooth fabric they use for their clothes. Their kids' section offers a wide range of options like t-shirts, long sleeves, jackets, shorts, pants, dresses, and more. I was surprised to see the winter attire section since we don't have winter in the Philippines, but these clothes would be great for international vacations or amusement centers with fake snow.
The good thing about Uniqlo Ayala Malls Central Bloc is that it is pet-friendly. You can bring your pet here if you want to go shopping just make sure to put in diapers for them. For me, if an establishment is pet-friendly, it is a safe and friendly place. Ayala Malls Central Bloc is pet friendly, and as I wrote in my previous blogs, they even have a pet park where your pets can play freely; of course, As fur parents, you just have to be responsible and make sure to have your pets wear their diapers so that they will not spread dirt all over just in case they want to pee or poop. Also, of course, you need to tie them in leashes so that they will not run around the mall and perhaps cause disturbance for other mall goers.
Uniqlo offers a wide range of products, including clothing, shorts, skirts, jeans, jackets, formal attire, bags, and even gym wear. Their collection also includes underwear and lingerie. As a Uniqlo fan, you must be aware of their diverse product line. I'm just giving you a brief overview of this newly opened clothing store. The store is massive, it is so nice to stroll around, and if you're a fan of Uniqlo, you'll love it here. Though I didn't purchase anything, I enjoyed window shopping and wandering around the store. However, it's time for me to leave and head home now.
As I made my way towards the mall's exit, I noticed the movies being shown at the cinema, including : ✦Five Nights at Freddys, ✦The Piper, ✦Five Break Ups and A Romance and ✦Freelance. If you're interested, you can purchase your tickets at the ticket booth located on the mall's fifth floor. Do note that schedules are subject to change with prior notice. Additionally, what I appreciate about this mall is the cinema's cleanliness and excellent maintenance, making for a great movie-watching experience.
After leaving the mall, I stopped by my favorite bakery, Pan De Manila which was located beside the mall to grab some bread before heading home. I love their wide variety of bread choices, affordable prices, and perfectly balanced flavors.
After buying my favorite pan de sal, I walked towards the jeepney stop and rode a jeepney heading home. I hope you all had a productive day! Ciao!☺︎♡
