Jute Bag

I am supposed to deposit a check on Thursday and was looking for a small bag to carry. I used to have a jute bag which I used to bring to the office but it tore. Replaced with a Lacoste tote bag. But I guess I needed a smaller one.

So, as an excuse, I would buy medicines, pens, and the jute bag.

I was dropped off at Mercury Drug at The Link. I was hoping to avail the Mercury Drug and Unilab partnership promo. Unfortunately, the Unilab system is being updated and is down. Decided not to buy the medicines yet.

Went to Mary, Mother of Hope Chapel at The Landmark. That's when I noticed a relic below the image of Mary, Mother of Hope.

Stone from the site of the Apparition of Our Lady of Hope

Next are the pens. Went to the National Bookstore to check for Parker IM rollerball pen, Lamy Joy, and Lamy Swift rollerball pen. It is either not available or it did not catch my eye.

Went to Lamy Concept Store where I was able to buy a Lamy Joy calligraphy pen and Swift rollerball pen.

And for lunch, initially, I was thinking of eating at Nanyang. But since Yakiniku Like!!! has a few customers yet, decided to eat here.

After, I proceeded to Muji to buy the jute bag. When I saw that there are jute bags with embroidery, ask the saleslady if there are blank ones or if I can have my name embroidered. That's when they directed me to the second floor where I can have the bag embroidered. Nice! And I only need to wait for 30 minutes.
