the small stapler

Last night at 8pm, we dropped by at National Bookstore Quezon Avenue to buy a small stapler. Just a small stapler.

Of course you can't be in a bookstore and not check out the other 'supplies'.

So we ended up buying a cutting mat, an 18x24 white board, its eraser and marker, a roll of kraft paper, nylon strings, a brown and a green pen, and Entrepreneur magazine, and oh, that small stapler, which, as I had planned to buy, should be in black color. But since the store is already closing, I did not have time to look for the black stapler, so I got the common red stapler.

Our total bill amounted to Php 1,110.50, where, the stapler -- our primary 'to buy' supply -- is only Php 37.75. A lot of random and compulsive buying, but a lot of fun too!

Hoorah for the small stapler!

I can totally relate to this! National Bookstore gives me a different kind of high. :) It's therapeutic!
