X Marks the Spot

I got bored from hanging out alone in Gateway Mall in Cubao while I was waiting for the buyer of my previous DSLR because I forgot to include the charger in the box. My laptop’s battery was halfway drained as well and I didn’t really see anything much to do inside the mall in the afternoon. I went plurking all those questions where to go within the vicinity so as not to get bored. Include the funny remarks of epic failures in looking for places that have disappeared and will still be appearing at Gateway Mall.

Nan suggested that I visit Cubao X, another name for Cubao Expo (also known as the Marikina Shoe Expo) which was a place for buying old and new shoes from Marikina or elsewhere. The shoes were not really my point of interest in the place, but finding an open gallery where I can take pictures. I specifically wanted to take a picture of a Lomo Wall, but as expected on a Monday afternoon, there wasn’t any Lomo Wall.

Going to the place wasn’t that bad. I was still able to find this store that sells vintage stuff and Lomo Shirts and some old cameras. Lots of cute things inside that store from old toys, containers, guitars etc. I was able to talk to someone about selling my Lomo cameras with a 70/30 split, but I think I can just sell them directly to Lomo enthusiasts..or keep them (LOL.).

I took a picture of the list of upcoming activities at Cubao Expo (see it in my gallery of pictures in this post). I think I might go one weekend to one of the activities just to get a different feel of the place when there are a lot of people.
