The one with ever wondered why...

We went malling yesterday to kill some time and since we have at least five hours to spare, we did a lot of things like spending an hour in a playroom, eating in an eat-all-you-can merienda buffet at Dad's, and shopping! And with just the time spent yesterday, Simon and I had some observations that made us wondered why such these so-called mall procedures are being implemented now.

1. Have you ever wondered why all of a sudden flip flops or our very own tsinelas have been allowed in the mall? After havaianas was born, it has suddenly leveled up flip flops in the highest fashion statement it could reach. Isnt it that they are just flip flops too and that before, flip flops are not allowed inside the malls...hmmm (but im a fan, dont get me wrong. i also wear flip flops to malls, hehe)

2. If ever you and your husband/guy friend/boyfriend happened to be wearing bags at the same time, have you ever wondered why the guy's bag is the only one that had to be left at the luggage counter and the girl's bag, no matter how big it is will be allowed to be carried by the girl. we went to this computer store. I was bringing a bigger bag and my husband was bringing his usual backpack. He had to leave his bag at the counter and he just cannot see the logic why his bag is the only one that has to be left and not mine. haha.

3. Oh and have you also wondered what the security guards are looking for when they check your bags at the entrance? seriously, can you actually inspect a bag with just a drum stick and a slightly unzipped bag? i dont think so. hehe.i have to confess, one time, i have sarcastically asked a guard about this and said, "so guard, ano talaga hinahanap nyo?"

4. Oh and can you please tell me what the guards are trying to inspect when they do body inspection? They'd touch a part of your waist and back, as if someone who would bring a bomb would just hide it in her waist or back.

5. When we went to the resto for buffet, my eyes were suddenly caught by a couple whose table is so full of food, as if there's no tomorrow. I was sort of embarassed for them at first. I was sure i was not the only one who was staring at them thinking that their table looked like a small buffet table. ahehe. i was like, "this is a buffet, you can always go back when you want more" but you know what, after a few minutes, just before the buffet table closes, the waiters did'nt serve my favorite cream puffs anymore and I was kinda sad and disappointed that just when i followed "buffet rules", i wasnt able to get cream puffs. and at one point, i envied the couple who had their own small buffet. haha. so when you eat buffet, do you get as much food as you think you can consume or do you just go back whenever?
