I believe that having a well-rested sleep adds to one's productivity, either at work or at home.
Since I am living independently, I see to it that every time I have extra cash, I would purchase it with something significant. Now, it is something that contributes to having a good night rest.
With the partner and at the same time the driver, he accompanied me to Mandaue Foam located at Hernan Cortes Street, Mandaue City, Cebu. I told him to wait in his car because I wanted to feel and enjoy my alone time. Let's go self!💪
When I got in, I was welcomed by their dazzling and lovely Christmas decoration. The employees greeted me with a good morning. I replied them with a nod, not with a smile, because I was wearing a face mask because I was sneezing a lot that time.
There were only a few customers who were also shopping. I even spotted Korean nationals buying pillows. And I was like, oh, this must be a good store. I am familiar with Mandaue Foam because I've heard or watched their advertisement and even come across with their large billboards. But coming here was my first time. I didn't expect I'd be shopping with other nationalities and rich personalities here. I felt a little awkward. HAHAHAHA. But I continued walking and looking around.
Since it was my first time, I didn't make it so obvious or so I thought. Ahahaha. I didn't bother to ask where is the bed section. Anyway, I know how to read and I'm sure, I wouldn't be lost roaming around the area. Hahahaha.
While I was walking, I saw the bed linens section and the whole sofa set section. I remembered I was planning to change my sofa set at the house. I examined and sat on the sofas, feeling their soothing comfort. Yes, customers are allowed to sit.
There were a lot of sofa options and looking at the price made me shiver. But with the comfort it brings, the amount is justifiable. And they are having a 35% off. So if you're planning to gift yourself a sofa, do visit Mandaue Foam. Oh, this is not a paid advertisement. Hahahaha.
When I was done with the sofa section, I continued walking. I saw lampshades, chandeliers, office tables, and swivel chairs.
Beside them, finally, are the beds. I was in awe looking at how thick the beds are and they are sold as doubled. Like, that thick and then doubled? I was used to having a wood bed frame and a normal foam that is at least 2.5 inches thick.
But when I tried to sit on it, oh my gosh, it felt like heaven. For sure, I will have a good night's sleep. I tried sitting one to another until I finally made a choice.
I talked to this guy who attended to my queries and we had a little chitchat. Since I preferred a door-to-door delivery with the item, I asked for the delivery charge. He was quick to ask the address as the delivery fee depends on how far the location is. And then we found out that we're living in the same town, in neighboring barangays. What a small world. He assisted me so well.
I purchased a Gala Chiropractic Bed in 54x75 which costs PHP17,400 or 1, 022.59 USD (the upper bed), and an All Wood Box in 54x75 which costs PHP8,600 or 154.78 USD (the lower one, the bed frame). The delivery fee costs PHP2,880 or 169.26 USD and it took more than a week to deliver because the item is made to order.
Looking at the prices, I was like, Oh, this is huge. But wait, they are having a 35% discount. I went to the counter and had everything done, including the delivery address, contact number, and sketch. When everything was computed, supposedly I had to pay PHP 28, 880 or 1, 697.26 USD. But since they have 35% less, I only paid PHP 20, 210 including the delivery charge.
SELF-THOUGHT
This might be costly but this is a gift for myself, for always striving and surviving. And I believe that I should not settle for less. Bahalag pobre basta hilas. (A Cebuano famous expression that means no matter how financially challenged we are, we always find ways to stay on track. Tabang! 😂😂😂)
Lastly, we all deserve a good night's sleep, alone or with the people we love.
This is all for today's blog. Thank you for the unwavering support. Until the netswriting.
