Bogo City in northern Cebu is our go-to place whenever we crave for some fastfood, need to buy some stuffs or go on grocery shopping. But since the city is the ground zero of the 6.9 magnitude earthquake, most establishments are still closed and damaged.
From Tuburan where we are currently living right now, we decided to go to Balamban to buy some things.
From Tuburan, we will pass by the municipality of Asturias, then Balamban. We travel via motorcycle therefore we have hold of our own time.
When we arrived in Balamban, our first order of business is to eat brunch. Since this is around 1:00 pm when we arrived here in the town of Balamban.
JOLLIBEE BALAMBAN BRANCH
Tuburan does not have any fastfood chains so whenever we crave for some Filipino favorite, Jollibee, there are two nearest options — either Jollibee Bogo City branch or Jollibee Balamban.
For now since Bogo City hasn't recovered from the earthquake yet, we decided to have our brunch here at Jollibee Balamban.
We ordered our favorites : Jollibee Fried Chicken, Spaghetti, Fries and Coke Float.
There are just days when we really crave for Jollibee and today seems to be the day.
After we ate, I looked up at social media where Shela's Clothing Balamban Branch is located. I wanted to go thriftshopping.
Shela's Clothing is a thrift shop that sells a variety of options from tshirts, dresses, clothing, bed sheets, blankets and so much more for such low prices.
Shela's Clothing also has a branch in Bogo City, northern Cebu which was closed due to the severe damage caused by the earthquake. The building they rented collapsed and it was totally damaged.
Shela's Clothing Balamban Branch is located in Gennis Arcade which can be located via Google Maps and from Jollibee Balamban, you just have to follow the road and turn left.
SHELA'S CLOTHING GENNIS ARCADE 2ND FLOOR
I was happy to see that everything was sold for ₱75.00 each. I really love to buy used clothing here in Shela's Clothing because most of the clothings they sell are branded and I love how they organize their clothing — BY COLORS. It is very easy to choose your desired clothing depending on which specific color you need.
CHECKING ON THE CLOTHES THOROUGHLY
I make sure there are no dents, no holes and no damages everytime I buy used clothing given that these are second hand items and has tendency to sometimes be damaged.
I bought a couple of used clothing and here are some.
I bought this Fila t-shirt and this Nike jacket. These look like new ones and I love that I got it just for ₱75.00 each.
I also got this purple t-shirt that had a Teacher🌈 statement which fits perfectly for my line of work now as I am now working as a public school teacher here in Tuburan National High School.
I also went to Watsons to buy some essentials and I forgot to take photos of my purchases. Watsons is located in the first floor of Gennis Arcade Balamban.
I am so happy I got to discover Balamban for a short while and it somehow gave me that feeling that I am just in Bogo City, just close to home.
Got a good purchase indeed. Will definitely come back here again soonest. Ciao! ❤️
