Hello guys, personally I only go to mall when there is really a need to buy.
I am not a mall goer, and when I go to mall I am just in the grocery store.
I don't like shopping either, sorry I prefer shopping in the net,
But I its a travel going to another place, to beach to any outdoor activity I am on the go always..
When I go to mall and I am looking for a dress wohh... I hate it because I feel dizzy, its my mother who buys me a dress and she is my opposite.
My mentality also is I am saving my money for travel...
I am kinda unique, I am a woman but I hate shopping and going to malls..
How about you do you go malls weekly? daily? etcetc
Happy mylotting

hi there both. .. @letranknight, My mother always said that to me as her reason to go to mall because it so hot.. @elsmarie, yes agree one of the reason why people really go to mall now because its block out nothing to do at home. We have a small Island mall here near our house, My brother goes there when its block out.good thing generator is enought here to supply.

most specially now that it's summer and el nino season people wanted to go to the places which doesn't make them sweat at all. malls are perfect recreation areas where you can browse here and there.

Hi dorothy on my part I seldom do that..I would not say I am not a mall goer, because I really enjoy window shopping but sometimes it is really awkward for to go always in malls without budgetfor that activity..well, sometimes I did that but it would not be so nice if you much budget so you can buy whatever you would like...well, maybe next week I will with my beloved partner...would you like to come with us?
Mobhomeir here..

hello dorothy,
actually, i am. haha, eversince i start going out with my bestfriend here, its been our favorite place to go every monday...specially on the last months that have passed. monday is our free time to go out together while our husband's are in their work/or sometimes while they are playing basketball.
my friend, really loves going to the mall for shopping oh well sometimes just for window shopping! hehe
\we don't have any other place to go to so mall is the best for both of us...its nice place to escape the heat of the sun!
and i am really going to the mall once or twice a week, but usually when its me & my husband, we are just in the grocery & office supplies sections...and food courts! hehe
with my friend, well we are visiting almost all boutiques...haha but we are not really buying anything...

hi there ckyera, wow you really got the patience and I can see you are enjoying..
Some of my officemates from the office to mall, they always ask me to go with them but I just tell them no thanks If they watch a movie then I would go with them..
I just don't have patience in window shopping...
have a great day

hehe, actually before i met my bestfriend, i am not really into malling, i rather stay at home, coz its a temptation for me and sometimes it even hurts the budget...
but i am enjoying it now with my friend coz i feel like its our bonding time and yeah i am patient, even if i also get tired, i still go with her...but sometimes i refuse to specially if i have lots of pending works at home...
actually we enjoy it because we are together, if not maybe we will not enjoy as well...most of the time that we are together, we are just talking non stop & laughing & eating!
when i was still working, i am in the mall monday-friday! haha not for any reason but only because my workplace is just at the back of sm megamall and i have to pass there before reaching the bus stop! haha better to walk inside the mall instead of the road outside...hehe

yup, i am a peripath. also, i have a wanderlust syndrome. and my feet are always itchy, rarin' to go. the philippines is one beautiful country you should really see. except for the cherry blossoms in spring and the snow-capped mount fuji, plus the ramen and the sushi, and of course, the economy, our country is a lot better. been to turtle island, you should see that majesty of untrammeled territory. been to buguias and bokod in the mountains of the north, even ambaguio, those places are breathtaking. pagudpud is north luzon's boracay, standing neck deep, you can see the fingernails of your toes. bulalacao in mindoro is one serene and majestic beach, yet to be invaded by development. the colorful tropical fishes in balicasag, playing with your feet, is a priceless wonder. and nothing can compare with the awe you get in the subterranean river of puerto princesa in palawan. of course, the swells in siargao makes you feel you are in hawaii. ah, the philippines is well endowed in beautiful and majestic places. also, don't miss the hospitality of locals and the wide variety of unique dishes that await you when you visit those places.

I only go shopping if I need something. I am like you, and completely overwhelmed and dizzy by the numbers of choices in the stores and in the mall. I do like to go food shopping, but that is separate from the mall and not really anything that bothers me. Our Super Wal Mart has everything, but really, I feel I am best suited to shop in smaller stores.I am trying to get rid of stuff, and like you said, save money, and I would also enjoy traveling and paying off some bills.

I used to go to the malls when I was younger but I find everything in there now is so expensive it is just ridiculous!!! So I might go there just to get away from home and look around for a while. But not hardly ever.

hello dorothy,
nope i don't think so. it's been a month since i have visit a mall. the last time i went to SM was i paid for a bill and they're office is inside the mall. it's cool because i get to eat a lot of food. there. and probably sleep because it's aircon.

I don't have that kind of money to visit the mall often. I usually only go when I have an actual need to go. Which quite often only happens once maybe twice a year. I don't mind going during christmas time though because I like going into the different stores and looking at all their christmas displays. But, usually when I go. Doesn't matter the time of year, the mal is usually crowded. Its usually for this reason I avoid the mall.

hi!
I go to the mall atleast twice weekly. I love to go there not because i love to shop. I go to the mall because i love looking and observing people.it's actually my past-time and my way to relax aside from watching movies in the cinemas.

Hell Yeah. But I rarely buy. I just check the new stuff in the shops and hang out with my friends. I like to do shopping but only with people who have the same interests as me. And I only buy when it's time to buy. Like when there's big special.
I most often go malls weekly.

we used to go as hobby or because we needed something to do (lots of people think of shopping as a hobby!) but as for mall shopping, i hardly ever go there! i find the prices way too expensive! i generally shop at thrift stores or bargain stores for the things i want/need.

Hi, dorothy09. I like going to the mall to shop. I like to go early in the mornings where it is peaceful and quiet. I used to go the mall a lot when I was a teenager. That was my best hang out with my family and friends. But now, I don't take great interest in going to the mall anymore like I used to. I may go to the mall every three months or so. This a place that won't hardly see my face at. I only will go to the mall when I have to go to a specific store.

hi there cream, sometimes my mother also asked me to go with them when they wanted to say mass in the mall before the shops opens, she loves to roam arround and shop and I 'll just stay in the coffee shop. Im just so in love with the internet..
I can check in the internet, there is no need for me to go around window shop.

Me, too. I only go to malls if I have something to buy, but if there's none, I don't waste my time roaming around a mall. Yes, it really makes me dizzy seeing people bumping each other inside these establishment. I wonder why and how people with nothing to do there waste their time roaming around.

hi there dilipmiester, like you I just to mall once a month,or when there is invitation to eat in one of the restaurant, and my friends know me already, if they want to go to mall, they just leave me in the restaurant or I'll go ahead.
Usually most of my friends got influenced by me, we usually hang out not in the mall, in the beach and outdoor areas.
