A Mall in the Mountains of Antipolo

A new mall in the mountains of Antipolo? 

Along Sumulong Highway, you'd see tarps referring to the opening of the newest mall to hit this side of the mountain. Let's explore this new mall and I will leave you to decide what to do next.

Sunday Morning At Antipolo

One Sunday morning in September, I rode a jeep going to "Antipolo-Sumulong-Shopwise." As I haven't been to the town proper for quite some time, I figured I'd check the place out. I heard that there's a new mall there and other things. After almost getting lost because the jeeps were given a new route, I found my way to the two main busy roads that intersect the town proper--ML Quezon and P. Oliveros St.

The Antipolo Cathedral is a well-known pilgrimage area. Since it is a Sunday, crowds of people would go for Sunday mass. Here they are just after the mass.

I found my way to Victory Park & Shop. I think one of its attractions is the "Tiangge" area where there are clothes, shoes and other items on sale.

Starbucks is found just outside of the mall.

On both streets, you'll see other fast food restaurants.

McDonald's across Victory Park and Mall

Along P. Oliveros, Greenwich, Jollibee, and Mang Inasal

KFC along ML Quezon St.

This is just across 7-11, along P. Oliveros St. I didn't see this restaurant before and I don't remember what establishment it replaced. This is one of my fave eating places: Chick-Boy. Their Cebu Lechon Kawali is so good!

Kasoy, suman and other goodies--these are some of the popular delicacies of Antipolo. This is a good way to end a short walk in Antipolo proper.

Till the next trip! Bye for now! :)

Capture it! Ceiling fan?

Yup! This is a ceiling fan And where would anyone find such a fan let alone get close enough to get a picture of it? The ceiling is quite high and this fan is found in a new mall in Antipolo city--SM City Masinag.

This is the view from the second floor of the mall. The mall has three floors in total. This was during Father's Day. And the ceiling fans are up there in a row. If you're asking why a mall such as this would need ceiling fans for, well, maybe it's to cool people off? Isn't that what aircon is for?

Here is a closer view of two fans. They are moving quite slow, which is why you could more or less capture their spinning movement. One way to get a close shot of them is by riding the escalator.

I took this one going up the escalator. I was on my way to watch a movie. Of course, I zoomed in on the fan. If it was really that close, you'll be dodging on the way up.

 Enough of the fans! I was on my way to the cinema. I took this shot...hmm...the fan is still there. Hehehe! Get away fan! Hey, it is a fan after all!

Ah, much better! While waiting for movie time,  I took this shot from the third floor. It is Father's Day, and this is the atrium area of the mall. The decorations are beautiful too. The month of June is the time we celebrate our Independence Day. Come to think of it, the name of the decoration of those blue-yellow-red banners on the side, skips me. Are they called banners?

Well, it's time to eat! See you guys next time...or do you wanna join me?
When going to the malls, sometimes it's good to see something out of the ordinary. Besides, what else could you do in a mall, besides malling?

Antipolo commuter says "Ciao!"
