We are down to the final leg before Christmas Day hits and with a little more than a week left, people will surely be out rushing to finish off their Christmas list. Here's a handy list that I came across in ClickTheCity.com where they have the complete mall hours to guide all the last minute shoppers (like yours truly) out there: please click to view full size shopping photo credit: http://brandkeys.blogspot.com/

This weekend was pretty productive! I never thought home shopping could be both fun and stressful! For the past two days, I have been at SM Megamall checking out linens, bed covers, mattresses and a lot more! All these in preparation for our future rooms that need to be furnished pretty soon. I realized that no amount of time spent going over the beautiful pages of Real Living is enough to prepare me for the great battle... to be in front of close to a hundred choices. SM surely wasn't kidding when they said they got it all for us ! After our last shopping session today, I took some time out to chill out at The Stick House -- my newest discovery located at the basement of SM Megamall Bldg A.

While walking around SM Megamall early last week, I found myself entering a different area I never knew existed. With board up announcements of soon-to-open high end shops and restaurants and an attractive church at the top floor, I realized that the newest section of the mall was finally open to the public. My first impression was that the structural design looks very much like SM Megamall's high-end sister mall called The Podium. It's as if a mini Podium was placed right at the middle of busy Megamall. Trust SM to stick to their promise that they got it all for us . Here are some shots of what we can expect from SM Megamall's The Atrium: welcome to the atrium Steve Madden opening soon! Can't wait for Haagen Dazs! Megamall, say hello to Gap! Macau photo exhibit
