Visited HMR Sucat

We saw a video featuring HMR Sucat and it piqued our curiousity. We made a plan to visit and went to check it out. We've been to HMR in it's original location in Mandaluyong, but we haven't been back in a couple of years. 

Anyway, Sucat is a nice location for us. It's just about 15 minutes from our place. We were curious to visit to see what they're selling now. We also wanted to compare to the last surplus store we visited. The Sucat store is huge! They actually also sell bigger items and have cars for auction. The video we watched also mentioned that you can build your resto with their surplus/pre-loved kitchen equipment. And they also had some stuff you can use for construction. 

I didn't really need anything, but saw a couple of interesting things, here's a few:

• Chromeboxes with monitors

• different kinds of coffee machines

• Locker cabinet which I'm interested in refurbishing for my future sewing room!

I didn't buy any of the stuff above. I instead got a bunch of sturdy pots since I still have a lot of stuff to re-pot! And, oh, I got a pair of sneakers for PhP399 (haha).  We only went around once since I was quite tired already. Good thing I dressed for comfort since the place was a bit warm. Also good to wear a mask, a lot of the stuff was dusty.  We'll go back in case we need anything :)

New Eyeglasses

Miggy and I have been overdue to get new eyeglasses. Five years overdue! My eyeglasses frame broke while I had it on. We immediately visited an opthalmologist last week

It takes a week for my eyeglasses to be made. I've been using progressive lenses for almost a decade now, so I was happy when the shop pinged me this morning that our eyeglasses were available.

Got our new eyeglasses today. I selected a plastic frame since I've been using a steel frame the past five years. It's lighter and with the correct grade the world feels brighter.

Checked Out an Australian Surplus Shop

Randomly watched a video about an Australian surplus shop at midnight. Found ourselves at the shop the next day, haha. We were curious, plus Sweetie needs a few things for Dad.

It just took us 10 minutes from Bicutan to reach the location at Tunasan, Muntinlupa. A far cry from the 90 minute travel time to BGC! The store was inside a warehouse in an industrial complex. Parking was relatively easy.

The store had a mix of goods. They had appliances, house ware (mostly from Anko), furniture, tools, toys, gadgets and cat stuff! I think it was the tail end of their sale, but they still had a lot of stuff. 

The furniture selection was on the second floor. The stairway was pretty steep and was a workout for my knees and lungs. They had a myriad of stuff, but what caught my eye were the garden furniture. I'll come back for something in the future. 

They had Chromebooks, but it was already sold out by the time we came. They have tablets for under PhP1,000. Useful if you know how to install earlier versions of apps or you can use it as a photo album.  

A lot of the houseware items were useful. They even had a small aquarium. I didn't need anything so just enjoyed looking at stuff. Don't expect much on the toy stuff, most were for younger children. 

I think the JVC branded gadgets are on 50% off until month end. Most were speakers for partying, you can check it on their FB page.

We skipped the tools and equipment section, but I saw they had a lot of lawn lowers and hand tools. Oh, I forgot to check the power washer! Maybe next time!

Here's the addy:
