Saw Rebelpixel's photoblog of the new Annex in SM North EDSA [via Sofimi's plurk]. It was so pretty!! And cold (ergo, me calling it SM North Pole instead of SM North EDSA)! And empty! I loved it!


The stores were so few, but my sister and I found a particularly charmed one called "Mags", which featured clothes from all over Asia. The dress I got my sister as a Christmas present was probably from Hong Kong, but it was cute anyway, so we got it.
The mall is obviously created two-fold: to beat SM Mall of Asia and make SM North EDSA the third biggest mall in the world (ergo, all the world thingies all over the mall, and other art deco stuff that's good for camwhoring). Another is for Henry Sy to steal off some of the Ayala clientèle from Trinoma. I don't know how the richest man in the country could pull that off, but seeing how pretty the interior of the new Annex, I'm sure he can give Ayala a run for his money.

The interior is superb. When I become rich and powerful, I'll hire the architectural firm who did this to do my house or something.
Fine, I do have a few complains. It's not that accessible. It's like the Block and the Annex is the posh sandwich cookies of a rotting cream filling (that is, the main building of SM North EDSA). Yes, it is still under construction, but I think they should also renovate the main building to make it more competitive with the mall across the street.

Me on the phone. Looking out the glass windows that showcase the sprawling mall and the construction.
So, let's take a mall poll!!!
Poll #1319853 Philippine Mall Poll
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 12
When I look at malls and be at them, I really just forget that I have to study. Time just flies, and once again, I haven't done substantial studying. WUUUUHHH. I'm such a terrible law student. But holidays are just love!!!

cover it and it becomes NSYNC!!!
i hear jc
ang ganda ng annex!!!!
And these two malls are no where near EDSA: ATC and Ever Gotesco Commonwealth.
But I voted for Glorietta/Greenbelt, simply because their malls are always fresh.
Hehe, anyway, I bunched Podium with Megamall, since it's just a stone's throw away, just like the GB malls, beside Glorietta, hence the reason why I didn't mention it anymore.
Interestingly, the demographics of your poll are quite unusual: you've got lots of votes for the upscale malls (Shang, Powerplant) but the leader is Trinoma. Strange.
See you soon. Merry Christmas CK! Happy New Year (though I know you don't like it)!
PS
I haven't started reading yet so don't feel guilty. Hehe ;)
But the thing is, I'll be away on vacation for six days starting Sunday, so I don't know how much reading I could do. ARGH.
Anyway, thank you for voting, and thank you for telling everyone that with Open ID, you could vote on LJ polls. (=
Happy Christmas at New Year rin Agatha! I think I'll like New Year this year. =P
