Roaming Around The Mall To Canvass for the Prices of a Laptop

I have thought of doing a lot more when I can have a laptop with me. Since I was planning to enroll myself in college, I have thought that it can be more useful to me. I have thought of looking for a part-time job online and a lot of tasks can't be handled by a phone but on the desktop.

Just like the transcribing job online, you will join a company that is giving that kind of job, then they will send you the audio which is about an hour in duration for you to transcribe what you will hear into a word document. My friend has tried it on her phone but even just opening their website can't be loaded there. Then she tried it on her laptop, and there it was working well.

An online tutorial job can be a less hassle also if I would ever a student in the next coming months. For sure, it can't be done using a phone only since you will need a big screen while teaching. You will use the cursor to show the kids what you meant. It will also need a camera since it would be a recorded tutorial via video calling where a teacher and a student can see each other. A phone can't handle that for sure. It would hang and lag since that one needs to use a lot of data.

It was a rainy morning that day until the afternoon. I'm not interested to go out first since the rain is just gone and the surroundings are cold. But then, my friend went out for a stroll and I was also bored in my room since I was just doing nothing but lying in my bed since morning. I went out with him and we just walked to the mall since it is just a walking distance, just a few streets and we were there. We didn't want to spend money also since we don't have a useful excuse in going out.

This is the garden at the entrance of the mall. The floor was still wet from the rain and also the benches there outside beside the tree. I thought that I have captured the big tree beside this garden but I haven't and I haven't checked until I can go home.

It's a branch of Ayala Malls here that we were going to roam since it was the nearest mall here in our place.

We present our Contact Tracing IDs and have our temperature checked before we could enter. Then, I accompanied my friend to the store Toys 'R Us inside. He is fond of Gundam merchandise. He checked the prices of their Gundam toy figures there. He was also canvassing the prices of the things that the wants to buy. After that, he went to the store where they are selling pet supplies because he wanted some things for his cat.

I just went along with him until he finish his business. Then, we went to Abenson's store where they are selling appliances and gadgets. I checked how much is their laptops there and if they would accept credit cards for installment. Their prices range from Php 21,000 to Php 65,000 and of course if you want a laptop with good specs, you'll go with the more expensive one. Since my credit card is a MasterCard, they offered that I could pay it in installments for up to 24 months.

That is a great offer for me as a future student already. I think I will go to another mall in the future to look for other brands since the brands that they are selling there are only Acer and Asus. If I can have some time, I will look at SM City Mall next week. It was already getting late after that, so we decided to walk back home before it rains again.

That was the end of my adventure the other day. Thanks for reading!
