It's time to play

One thing I really do missed about this pandemic thingy is that going to the mall. I can't go to the mall even though I wanted to it is because my kids aren't allowed inside. And last year when children are allowed already I was a little bit hesitant to do so. In short I haven't been in the mall for the past months like I used to do before the pandemic started. My little family loves playing arcade games so I could tell that the kids were missing the fun they always had staying at the mall.

But guess what? The long wait was over. On Wednesday afternoon at around 5 in the afternoon, Anthony took us to the mall and well, the kids were so delighted upon hearing that they're going to play some arcade games. The mall near us took only a 10 minutes ride. When we got inside it, there's only few people unlike the last time we've been there. We arrived at Tom's World, finally after two years of missing it. Upon entering the establishment you can see that they are following some healthy protocols. I immediately went to the cashier to check if my Tom's World points card is still valid. If I remember it correctly we've earned a huge point on our last visit. I am also worried that the points we've earned last time would be forfeited because of not using it. Fortunately when I swiped it the points came out which means I can still use it in exchanging some items on their counter. After that, Anthony exchanged 100 php into peso coins because we're going to play our favorite piso game. I have mentioned about this on my past article. You just needed to drop one peso coin into machine and it will push the other coins at the bottom. If some coins drop tickets will come out too. It is actually addicting that if you don't have control, you may run out of money.

We also buy some tokens for the kids wanted to play games that requires token. So while me and Anthony were busy playing the peso games the kids were busy minding their own games. We don't have to worry about them being lost because the area isn't that big so if in case we lost them, we can easily find them.

When we run out of coins I stopped playing it even though I wanted to play. I counted our tickets and we got 220 tickets so I think that was enough for that day. We also got 50 tickets bonus so that makes 270 tickets added to our previous points. Since we still have tokens, I accompanied my husband in playing his favorite arcade games. The machine looks like a pinball game where you pushed a button and when the ball falls down to a respective number that match the winning numbers you'll be rewarded with few tokens. So we stayed there until his token runs out.

I was looking for the kids and saw them watching basketball. They definitely missed it and they were so enthusiastic. After they were done, I went with them to the candy crane. Unfortunately the one they had isn't working so I let them choose what to do with their last token.

I think we spend more than an hour inside Tom's world just in time to have our dinner. We took our dinner at Savory. On weekdays they have this bundle promo that is good for 4 people. Anthony ordered it, the package includes garlic chicken, stirfry noodles, shanghai and a bowl of crab and corn soup. It also comes with rice and drinks. And maybe because we're all hungry we finished it all.

It was indeed a fun day like we used to do. It is great that we were able to experience it after more than many months have passed. Although this time it was quite a little different because the store needs to follow safety measures to insure the safety of their guests. And as a guests or customers we should never neglect following these things for the sake of everyone's safety.

Thanks for dropping by once again.
