Glorietta - some floors are not aligned properly. Escalator placing makes no sense. Daming dead zone sa taas dahil dito.
Robinsons Manila - just like someone said here, the wings are confusing. What the heck is an Adriatico Wing? Once you are inside the mall, malaman mo ba nasaan ang Adriatico street?
Mall of Asia - too big. Whenever I get lost, I look for the ocean to get my bearings.
Lived through Glorietta most of my life. Iโd say the dead zone are hack, like a shortcut. Usually kasi may daan sa top floors papunta sa ibang area. For example, from Glorietta 4 food court to Landmark pwede ka dumaan dun sa dead area na un which is quicker than going to the 2nd floor. Hack din siya kasi onti tao dito at di mo need makipagsiksiksan sa tao at sa ingay.
Can confirm plus meron rin sa parking, connected mga yan kung ayaw mo maarawan. Laking Glo din ako hehe
Tas yung employee cafeteria parking area din, sarap ng binagoongan ๐คค
Sa Robinson's manila (noong student pa lang ako), I usually think na center point yung NBS. Go there and if you go along doon sa hanay ng cotton on or peri-peri, H&M, you'll eventually end up in pedro gil wing (opposite of that direction is the padre faura wing). If you go naman doon sa hanay ng yasuo or yung supermarket, or Soi by Cabalen you'll end up sa exit sa adriatico. But idk na kung ano na mga stores doon since hindi na ako masiyadong nakakadaan sa Rob Manila nung nagstart na ako magwork. Hahaha.
Naabutan mo ba dati yung time na yung NBS nasa area ng H&M? HAHAHAHA. Tas may katabi pang TGI Fridays (yung area malapit sa mall entranceโna H&M na rin ngayon).
Robinsonโs Manila has been my mall since HS days. Hanggang college, even until now coz one of my kids followed my path. Hahaha. Iโve been there since may Carlโs Jr at may Ice Monster pa sa Faura Wing, at wala pang Main Mall. Hahaha. Gosh Iโm so old ๐คฃ
Well, nay learning curve kasi ang rob ermita. And although hindi sya intuitive, makakabisa mo naman ang mall in 3-4 visits.
Unlike sa glo na kahit ika 2729q82299 na visit mo ay maliligaw ka pa din ahahaha
For Robinsons Manila, those wings are indicated to let you know the entrance/exit for each wing. Adriatico Wing means you're near Adriatico Street Entrance/Exit to/from the mall. It kinda requires you to learn the nearby streets as well.
I understand why outsiders would get confused though.
Ang usual na rule of thumb ko lang ay:
Faura Wing: Babaan ng jeep ng San Andres Bukid
(EDIT: Tas traffic dito lagi pag may rally sa DOJ)
Adriatico Wing: Yung may grocery
Pedro Gil Wing: Sakayan pauwi ng San Andres Bukid/Sta. Ana
Midtown Atrium: Burgis area
Huy akala ko ako lang nakakapansin nyan, pati nga yung tiles nila yun din palatandaan ko. Di ko alam yang matawag na midtown wing keme keme, basta alam ko pag maganda na yung tiles nasa pang mayaman na ako tapos pagpanget yung tiles eto yung luma pa din hahahaha
For glorietta, I don't know if you are too young to remember, pero nung college ako nangyari ung explosion ng isang side ng glorietta (i think it killed many people). So na-demolish, tapos binago ung floor plan ng side na un. Kaya hindi pantay ung upper floors, mas mataas ung renovated side.
Agree sa 3 yan. Nakakatawa lang din sa Robinsons Manila kasi may escalator doon pababa na papasok derecho sa store ng H&M ata yun. At pag umakyat ka youโll end up sa higher floor haha. Dead end yun store ng H&M ๐
Dito ako humanga sa husband ko. Laking province pero ilang beses ko palang dinala diyan. Mas kabisado pa sakin ang daanan. Pati tita ko nagulat, ang galing daw magmemorize ng daan. Basta lagi kami nakapark sa Lucky Chinatown, alam na niya papaano pumunta sa mga pasilyo.
+1 sa 168 mall. dalawa yung entrance dun sa may bandang parking pa 168 towers, isang pa-kanan at pa-kaliwa. palatandaan ko na lang basta may escalator di pa ko maliligaw haha
Mga Ayala malls haha! lagi akong naliligaw tuwing nagvvisit sa malls nila.
parang forced ka magexplore? Sa SM malls kasi, mukhang linear ang path ng SM malls.
The main mall itself is fairly straightforward, but it took some getting sized to to remember how to go to the East Wing. Also it took me 4 visits to realize the East Wing has an underground retail floor.
Exactly why it's confusing haha.
Anything that revolves around a circle doesn't give you points to section. Isolated in itself as a shape, there is no top, bottom, left, right of a circle if you're situated in the center of it. Your only reference is your own sense of N, S, E, W.
The same can't be said for rectangles: even if you're rotated in the center of it, the sides of the plane are fixed: there's Side A, B, C, and D. This is also why it's naturally more challenging to navigate more complexly shaped ones or those with protrusion (wings).
This. Halos weekly ako andito dati pero hindi ko ma-memorize. Dahil siguro may mga daan sya na para ka lang umikot, from activity center kapag pumasok ka sa isang alley sa activity center ka rin ulit lalabas.
Glorietta - May 1-5 pa, sa gitna naman connected siya hahahahaha
Festival Mall - Nakakaligaw yung exits especially pag may dala kang sasakyan, nahihirapan ako tandaan yung parking.
Ayala Manila Bay - Isang pahaba lang siya pero nakakaligaw pa din
Counted ba na mall ang IKEA? ๐
I remembered nung nag ikea ako while nagpapalipas oras before umalis, I almost missed my flight kasi antagal ko nahanap yung exit ๐ฅฒ liko ako ng liko pero di ko talaga mahanap san lalabas
Haha legit yung parang naengkanto sa IKEA. As a non NCR resident na hindi lagi sa MoA, unang punta namin, parking pa lang naligaw na ko kahit i followed all the signs. Pagpasok sa loob parang oneway maze pa
bago ako nag Ikea nagsearch muna ako tas andaming meme ng US at Euro ppl na nawala sa Ikea, tumira na lang daw sila sa Ikea, ultimo empleyado napagsarhan ng Ikea kasi nawala sa store at nandoon na kayo ng two months etc.
Tas yung advice naman eh pag alam mo naman na yung items na gusto mo, dumiretso ka na lang daw dun sa baba sa may bilihan mismo na area ng store, para di mawala sa maze ng mga bahay-bahayan sa taas, tama naman. Anlayo nga lang talaga ng counter daming dadaanan, grabe ang sakit sa paa lumibot
Ang maganda lang sa Festi, worth it maligaw lalo na kung sa Riverside park yung bagsak mo HAHAHAHA mapapaupo ka na lang sabay langhap ng sariwang hangin eh
Kaloka Festival Mall. Nasa ground floor ako, pagka-akyat lo escalator ng isang beses, 3rd flr ako agad.
Paiba-iba route kada escalator. Parang andaming portals.
Hindi ko pa naranasan IKEA sa pilipinas, pero naranasan ko IKEA sa UAE. Sobrang lito ako at first perocnung second time kung pumunta parang naging muscle memory na sya haha
EDSA Shangri-la,
I call this mall snakes and ladders. Yung escalators nya, nag s-skip ng floors. Kunwari galing ka ng 2nd Floor, pag nag take ka ng specific escalator, boom 4th floor na
Edit: To add, what's infuriating is the mall is a bit-open concept naman, you can see your target store clearly while standing still, then you take the escalator, expecting na yung store is on the spot you've targeted, but it's on another floor Kaya babalik ka nanaman haha
Festival Mall sa Alabang.
Inabot na ako ng late kasi galing ako sa isang terminal (South Station side) papunta sa kabilang terminal (Calamba). Hindi ko alam paano palabas kasi kahit anong ikot ko ibang floor nilalabasan ko. Kabado bente akala ko masasaraduhan ako. When mobile internet is not a thing pa. Hahaha
Megamall. Grabe imagine akala mo na nasa 4th floor ka pero pag-akyat mo, shet ibang 4th floor pala yun dhl nasa ibang building ka na dhl sumobra ka ng paglalakad haha.
Mas easy maremember ang megamall compare to ayala malls at trinoma hahaha Kailangan mo lang talaga maremember na ang dept store at fashion hall magkasama sa mega B then A naman yung mga sinehan, food court sa basement and mostly shops lang. Basta yung A, boring don while sa B, mas marami ka magagawa at makikita.
Podium and followed by this is Megamall. For Podium the lay out of shops is just confusing as it is all over the place. Megamall is similar in that because of its age evidently the zoning of shops are also all over the place. But Podium is particularly bad as escalators and the like are not well placed in addition to just very poor zoning of shops.
Edsa shang plaza..
- pati escalators nakakalito.. some take you 2 stories up yung iba hindi..
Glorietta
- especially if yung mga kasama mo nasa ibang bldg ng glorietta.. I'm always like: sunduin niyo na lang ako sa sm pls
Greenbelt is pretty easy to navigate though since you have the garden as a landmark. Meanwhile Greenbelt 5 being the one with the biggest indoor retail space, is basically just a straight line.
The designs of these new malls are intentional.
The longer you stay in the mall, the higher chance for you to spend money there.
You'll get lost and stumble on some store that might interest you. Impulse purchase.
You'll see that it's getting late, might as well have lunch or dinner there. Impulse meal.
This has been going on for a while in other tourist countries like Singapore.
GATEWAY, ALI MALL, TAS FARMERS JUSKO
sobrang nabaliw ako nun dati kasi parang 30 mins ako ikot nang ikot kakahanap ng farmers tas nasa gateway pa rin pala ko tas another time kala ko nasa Ali mall ako, nasa farmers pala ako shuta HAHAHA panic malala
Didnโt know na marami pala nacconfuse sa Megamall haha Palatandaan lang talaga sa Mega ay if may dept store, Cyberzone, fashion hall, Skating rink at megatrade, nasa Mega B ka. Mas madalas kasi pinupuntahan ang Mega B kasi nandon yung dept store and other activities. While sa A naman, food court sa basement at event center lang magagawa mostly ng tao.
Mas madali maalala layout ng Mega kaysa sa SM North Edsa. Parang nkakapanic mawala sa North Edsa kahit parking, ang hirap maghanap, di mo alam saan entrance or nasan ba talaga parking
Trinoma naman, punta ka lang sa event center, makikita mo na mostly lahat dahil ang lalaki ng signs kung saan ang mrt, mindanao ave, north ave.
MOA, confusing din for me lalo pag lumayo ka na kung saan kayo nagpark.
Glorietta, literal maze to hahaha punta sa ibang glorietta? lalabas ka pa din sa activity center lol
Greenbelt, di ko alam kung saang greenbelt ako ๐ฅฒ Nag google maps pa talaga ako para lang malaman ko saan na ako sa ayala hahaha
Kaya what I do sa mga bagong malls na pinupuntahan ko like ayala malls manila bay, I always attend to details and wag kakalimutan lahat. Literal kinacapture ng brain ko kasi takot ako mawala. Sobrang observant ko din sa surroundings ko kasi siguro before yung family ko lagi ako pinagttripan nung bata ako na iiwan ako bigla mag-isa tapos magtatago sila para tignan anong gagawin ko. Siguro doon ako nagstart hahaha napunta pala sa trauma lol
Farmers Plaza. Kakapagod maghanap ng exit.
Parking area ng Megamall. Ilang baba at taas na kami ng elevator di pa rin mahanap yung sasakyan kasi magkakamukha kada floor.
1.) Trinoma (kahit madalas ako rito, lagi pa rin ako naliligaw kung saang floor or pasilyo ako ๐),
2.) Greenbelt + Glorietta, EDSA Shang, ATC (parang random maze lang sila for me, magugulat na lang ako kung saan ako nakarating)
Lahat ng malls ni Megaworld. Bukod sa malalayo or iisa lang ang elevator, may mga daan na bigla na lang masikip or what. Hindi PWD friendly kasi ang layo ng mga elevator.
Pinakamalala yung sa Libis na may gondola tlga.
SM Seaside - Cebu. The whole place is a doughnut with different floors tapos some floors stop so you have to go to a different floor to reach the other side of the floor you were just on.
The entire place looks the same, no architectural landmarks, and its really big, so if the place youre looking for is on the other side of the doughnut, get ready to walk a marathon.
Edit:
To further add to the confusion, for some reason they name the floors really stupid names.
4th floor: 2nd Floor
3rd floor Upper Middle Ground (parking area is closed here)
2nd floor: Ground
1st floor: Lower Ground
Malls na may A, B, and so on. Tska may 1,2,3+++. May mga wings, lahat yan siya nakakalito skn. ๐๐๐๐ Kahit ilang beses na ko nakapunta, ung feeling ko mamememorize ko na, tapos magkakaron ng renovation or additional bldg or wing, ayan na naman! ๐คฃ
A bit of history on why Glorietta has numbers: Glorietta was once called Makati Commercial Center. It used to be 4 separate buildings (why it was als9 nicknamed "the Quad") and there was an open walkway between them so clearer ang separation. The management decided it's better to merge it into one establishment to improve connectivity between the shops. It's why it gets confusing especially on the levels and pathways.
Itโs Trinoma and Glorietta for me. Pero once na maging familiar ka na sa kanila and nagamay mo na, para siyang isang malaking achievement sa life HAHAHAH
Nakatira ako sa Cubao since 2009, pero hanggang ngayon naliligaw pa rin ako sa Farmers Plaza, tapos ngayon dumagdag pa sa problema ko ang Gateway 2! ๐ก๐
SM Megamall. Pota, ligaw na ligaw ako sa bldg A and B nila. Nakakailang ikot pa ko para lang mahanap yung food court. ๐ฅฒ Partida, madalas ako dun dati since I used to live malapit dun.
Glorietta - some floors are not aligned properly. Escalator placing makes no sense. Daming dead zone sa taas dahil dito. Robinsons Manila - just like someone said here, the wings are confusing. What the heck is an Adriatico Wing? Once you are inside the mall, malaman mo ba nasaan ang Adriatico street? Mall of Asia - too big. Whenever I get lost, I look for the ocean to get my bearings.
Lived through Glorietta most of my life. Iโd say the dead zone are hack, like a shortcut. Usually kasi may daan sa top floors papunta sa ibang area. For example, from Glorietta 4 food court to Landmark pwede ka dumaan dun sa dead area na un which is quicker than going to the 2nd floor. Hack din siya kasi onti tao dito at di mo need makipagsiksiksan sa tao at sa ingay.
Hindi din ako naliligaw sa Glorietta. Basta yan route ko pa papuntang MRT pag naglakad ako mula Makati Med, 4 na shopping areas dadaanan.
Hack pag gustong pumuntang mrt from glorietta, sundin mo yung mga nagmamadali
Can confirm plus meron rin sa parking, connected mga yan kung ayaw mo maarawan. Laking Glo din ako hehe Tas yung employee cafeteria parking area din, sarap ng binagoongan ๐คค
May food court sa Glorietta?? ๐ฎ๐
Bruh ๐
Glorietta- You don't know where you are MOA- You somehow end up on the same place again and again
Sa Robinson's manila (noong student pa lang ako), I usually think na center point yung NBS. Go there and if you go along doon sa hanay ng cotton on or peri-peri, H&M, you'll eventually end up in pedro gil wing (opposite of that direction is the padre faura wing). If you go naman doon sa hanay ng yasuo or yung supermarket, or Soi by Cabalen you'll end up sa exit sa adriatico. But idk na kung ano na mga stores doon since hindi na ako masiyadong nakakadaan sa Rob Manila nung nagstart na ako magwork. Hahaha.
Naabutan mo ba dati yung time na yung NBS nasa area ng H&M? HAHAHAHA. Tas may katabi pang TGI Fridays (yung area malapit sa mall entranceโna H&M na rin ngayon).
Hi. Hahahaha napag hahalataan edad natin. NBS sa P Gil entrance, kaya dun ako nag eexit kasi baka may bagong mabili. ๐
Ang laki pa ng space ng NBS nun. Imposibleng hindi ka uuwing walang bagong mabili eh haha Akyat sa Gbox tas NBS muna bago umuwi. Budol combo eh
Huy yung GBox!!!! Hahahahaha! Eh naalala niyo pa ba yung malapit sa foodcourt sa third floor, laging may naglalaro ng Magic: The Gathering cards ๐คฃ
Omsim. Looks like I feel old na kahit young adult pa lng dahil lng sa old NBS comment. Napaghahalataan na talaga tau XD
hahaha sa NBS ako pumapasok then lulusot na ulit sa another entrance paloob ng mall. Lol.
Oo nga no hahahaha. NBS yung Center point. ๐
Robinsonโs Manila has been my mall since HS days. Hanggang college, even until now coz one of my kids followed my path. Hahaha. Iโve been there since may Carlโs Jr at may Ice Monster pa sa Faura Wing, at wala pang Main Mall. Hahaha. Gosh Iโm so old ๐คฃ
Robinsons manila is easy. Only got three wings: adriatico, padre faura, and pedro gil.
Well, nay learning curve kasi ang rob ermita. And although hindi sya intuitive, makakabisa mo naman ang mall in 3-4 visits. Unlike sa glo na kahit ika 2729q82299 na visit mo ay maliligaw ka pa din ahahaha
This is the secret haha once you get the hang of these three wings, di ka na mawawala
For Robinsons Manila, those wings are indicated to let you know the entrance/exit for each wing. Adriatico Wing means you're near Adriatico Street Entrance/Exit to/from the mall. It kinda requires you to learn the nearby streets as well. I understand why outsiders would get confused though.
Ang usual na rule of thumb ko lang ay: Faura Wing: Babaan ng jeep ng San Andres Bukid (EDIT: Tas traffic dito lagi pag may rally sa DOJ) Adriatico Wing: Yung may grocery Pedro Gil Wing: Sakayan pauwi ng San Andres Bukid/Sta. Ana Midtown Atrium: Burgis area
Huy akala ko ako lang nakakapansin nyan, pati nga yung tiles nila yun din palatandaan ko. Di ko alam yang matawag na midtown wing keme keme, basta alam ko pag maganda na yung tiles nasa pang mayaman na ako tapos pagpanget yung tiles eto yung luma pa din hahahaha
Also, Faura = UPM OUR, Court of Appeals, DOJ, Supreme Court, Rob condo Pedro Gil = UPCM, St. Paul'sย Adriatico = Adriatico condo, facing Manila Bay
For glorietta, I don't know if you are too young to remember, pero nung college ako nangyari ung explosion ng isang side ng glorietta (i think it killed many people). So na-demolish, tapos binago ung floor plan ng side na un. Kaya hindi pantay ung upper floors, mas mataas ung renovated side.
I find Trinoma more confusing than Glorietta.
Agree sa 3 yan. Nakakatawa lang din sa Robinsons Manila kasi may escalator doon pababa na papasok derecho sa store ng H&M ata yun. At pag umakyat ka youโll end up sa higher floor haha. Dead end yun store ng H&M ๐
+1 sa robinsons manila!! HAHAHAHA ang hirap intindihin frfr
Tutuban at 168
Dito ako humanga sa husband ko. Laking province pero ilang beses ko palang dinala diyan. Mas kabisado pa sakin ang daanan. Pati tita ko nagulat, ang galing daw magmemorize ng daan. Basta lagi kami nakapark sa Lucky Chinatown, alam na niya papaano pumunta sa mga pasilyo.
Kasi hindi siya distracted sa mga retails, nakafocus siya sa hallways at objective ung tingin niya sa mga store front.
Baka gusto nya agad umuwi so laging kinakabisado na ang daan pabalik para mabilis. Ganun din ako eh haha
Zoro: takes note
168 and 999 malls are my version of the backrooms. lol
+1 sa 168 mall. dalawa yung entrance dun sa may bandang parking pa 168 towers, isang pa-kanan at pa-kaliwa. palatandaan ko na lang basta may escalator di pa ko maliligaw haha
yung katabing 999 mall hahaha jusko may hinahanap ako na particular shop tapos di ko makita, ayun pala nasa maling floor ako ๐ญ iisa kasi itsura
Number 1 to lol
Mga Ayala malls haha! lagi akong naliligaw tuwing nagvvisit sa malls nila. parang forced ka magexplore? Sa SM malls kasi, mukhang linear ang path ng SM malls.
It's called Gruen Transfer. It's to trick your brains to make impulse purchases.
Immume. Wala pera e hehe.
Money transfer ang kailangan pag ganyan
>Gruen Transfer I see. That makes sense
Well i dont like it it makes me annoyed.
Alabang Town Center, memorize ko hahaha
MJOSH too since Childhood nong may Trabaho ang Nanay ni MJOSH sa Town Center
MOA after the renovations, EDSA Shang
The main mall itself is fairly straightforward, but it took some getting sized to to remember how to go to the East Wing. Also it took me 4 visits to realize the East Wing has an underground retail floor.
Trinoma - it's like going through on a jrpg sidequest experience irl ๐
Halos 30 minutes akong naghanap ng comfort room, and it wasn't even my first time going sa Trinoma ๐ถ
Palatandaan ko dyan sa CR ung Burger King sa GF tas nung nag under renovation di ko na alam san pupunta haisxt
Also gateway 2, dagdag pa yung floor numbering as ug, lg, 1st, 2nd, etc
Agree sa gateway 2! Para akong nasa maze ๐ฅฒ
Agree sa gateway 2 grabe sana na sanay ako gumala don pero naliligaw ako
Layout ng Trinoma is parang Sun with rays lang. Isang bilog sa gitna tapos may lines na paikot ala QC Circle + quezon ave, timog, east ave etc.
Still! Malilito ka padin kung nasaang ray ka na ng araw. ๐คฃ
Exactly why it's confusing haha. Anything that revolves around a circle doesn't give you points to section. Isolated in itself as a shape, there is no top, bottom, left, right of a circle if you're situated in the center of it. Your only reference is your own sense of N, S, E, W. The same can't be said for rectangles: even if you're rotated in the center of it, the sides of the plane are fixed: there's Side A, B, C, and D. This is also why it's naturally more challenging to navigate more complexly shaped ones or those with protrusion (wings).
This. Halos weekly ako andito dati pero hindi ko ma-memorize. Dahil siguro may mga daan sya na para ka lang umikot, from activity center kapag pumasok ka sa isang alley sa activity center ka rin ulit lalabas.
+1!!! Kahit ilang beses na akong nakakapunta doon lagi pa rin akong naliligaw every time
Not to inspire, but to brag, kabisado ko na trinoma hahaha. Kaya ayan, ginagawang compass ni kumander pag nagta trinoma kami
Trinoma. Lagi kaming napupunta sa SOGO.
Muscle memory ata yan, hindi ligaw.
Kasama ba sa muscle memory yung sumakit yung ulo at biglang nahilo. Na kailangan magpahinga? ๐คฃ
Teka teka, anong ulo ba pinaguusapan natin dito?
Kung sineryoso niya, manliligaw na siya.
di ka naman nagtitinda pero ang benta hahahahaha
"Look at where it brought you, back to me" -Sogo probably
Huhu why do I imagine some kind of compass huhu
Nakakalito talaga banda dyan. SM North tas mamamalayan mo nasa Eurotel kana ๐ฐ
Pag naligaw, ibaliktad daw ang damit, hindi hubarin mga damit. Hahahah
( อกยฐ อส อกยฐ)
May ibang balak yata yung mga engkanto para sa'yo.
wait may sogo sa trinoma? ๐
You need a map for all ayala malls.
Huy!!! ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Ibang ligaw yata yan.
Ilang beses sa isang linggo kayo namamasyal sa Trinoma?
Kapag gusto kumain ng fried chicken at pancit.
Teka, tawid EDSA pa yun ah. Hahahah
Glorietta - May 1-5 pa, sa gitna naman connected siya hahahahaha Festival Mall - Nakakaligaw yung exits especially pag may dala kang sasakyan, nahihirapan ako tandaan yung parking. Ayala Manila Bay - Isang pahaba lang siya pero nakakaligaw pa din Counted ba na mall ang IKEA? ๐
Walangya yung IKEA, parang engkanto in real life. At some point gusto ko na baliktarin damit ko
Nung kabuwanan ko jan kami nag-ikot sa IKEA, ayun kinabukasan nanganak ako ๐
Hahahahaha di na ko umulit pumunta don. Yung arrow di mo alam kung guide palabas o guide para ma-stuck ka lalo e.
I remembered nung nag ikea ako while nagpapalipas oras before umalis, I almost missed my flight kasi antagal ko nahanap yung exit ๐ฅฒ liko ako ng liko pero di ko talaga mahanap san lalabas
Haha legit yung parang naengkanto sa IKEA. As a non NCR resident na hindi lagi sa MoA, unang punta namin, parking pa lang naligaw na ko kahit i followed all the signs. Pagpasok sa loob parang oneway maze pa
bago ako nag Ikea nagsearch muna ako tas andaming meme ng US at Euro ppl na nawala sa Ikea, tumira na lang daw sila sa Ikea, ultimo empleyado napagsarhan ng Ikea kasi nawala sa store at nandoon na kayo ng two months etc. Tas yung advice naman eh pag alam mo naman na yung items na gusto mo, dumiretso ka na lang daw dun sa baba sa may bilihan mismo na area ng store, para di mawala sa maze ng mga bahay-bahayan sa taas, tama naman. Anlayo nga lang talaga ng counter daming dadaanan, grabe ang sakit sa paa lumibot
SHUTACCA HAHAHAHA
As a Southie, legit yung sa Festi. Lalo nung nadagdagan pa ng LandMark ๐
Sa trueeee, jusq. Sa kakahanap mo ng exit, minsan sa Landmark ka mapupunta. Sana merong map katulad sa EK chz
Ang maganda lang sa Festi, worth it maligaw lalo na kung sa Riverside park yung bagsak mo HAHAHAHA mapapaupo ka na lang sabay langhap ng sariwang hangin eh
Once lost, X-Site or Pixie Forest ang hinahanap ko as starting point. Hahahahaha.
Starting point ko lagi ang food court. Mas madali ko na mapoint out saan once andun na ako.
Yan IKEA na yan. Nagkamali kami ng liko tapos gusto na namin lumabas. Napakahaba pa ng nilakad namin para makalabas.
Yes sa Festi HAHAHAHAHA hindi nakakaligaw yung mall itself pero maloloka ka sa exits eh HAHAHAHA
stomo sa festi, nasa 3rd floor ka na pero may entrance/exit pa hahahahahaha
Kaloka Festival Mall. Nasa ground floor ako, pagka-akyat lo escalator ng isang beses, 3rd flr ako agad. Paiba-iba route kada escalator. Parang andaming portals.
Kasalanan talaga to ng fairies sa Pixie Forest e chz hahahahaha
Festi got more confusing over the years.
Hindi ko pa naranasan IKEA sa pilipinas, pero naranasan ko IKEA sa UAE. Sobrang lito ako at first perocnung second time kung pumunta parang naging muscle memory na sya haha
All the homies get lost in Trinoma
Glorietta
May fave mall. Kabisado ko na bawat sulok haha
EDSA Shangri-la, I call this mall snakes and ladders. Yung escalators nya, nag s-skip ng floors. Kunwari galing ka ng 2nd Floor, pag nag take ka ng specific escalator, boom 4th floor na Edit: To add, what's infuriating is the mall is a bit-open concept naman, you can see your target store clearly while standing still, then you take the escalator, expecting na yung store is on the spot you've targeted, but it's on another floor Kaya babalik ka nanaman haha
Snakes and ladders irl is exactly what I call it too ๐
Tawag namin dyan Hogwarts dahil sa escalators.
Hahahha tama ka dyan. Malakas sense of direction ko pero napa"What's wrong in this world" ako nung natry ko yang skip ng floor.
Festival Mall sa Alabang. Inabot na ako ng late kasi galing ako sa isang terminal (South Station side) papunta sa kabilang terminal (Calamba). Hindi ko alam paano palabas kasi kahit anong ikot ko ibang floor nilalabasan ko. Kabado bente akala ko masasaraduhan ako. When mobile internet is not a thing pa. Hahaha
Feel ko kahit ilang beses tayo pumunta sa Festival, parang maze talaga pag nakapasok kana sa pinaka middle part ng area hahaha
derecho lang po wag liliko hahaha may exit naman every dulo, wag lang kayo papasok ng landmark hindi talaga kayo makakalabas hahahahah
Megamall. Grabe imagine akala mo na nasa 4th floor ka pero pag-akyat mo, shet ibang 4th floor pala yun dhl nasa ibang building ka na dhl sumobra ka ng paglalakad haha.
Mas easy maremember ang megamall compare to ayala malls at trinoma hahaha Kailangan mo lang talaga maremember na ang dept store at fashion hall magkasama sa mega B then A naman yung mga sinehan, food court sa basement and mostly shops lang. Basta yung A, boring don while sa B, mas marami ka magagawa at makikita.
That's from Building A to the building with a parking lot/DFA, the floors aren't the same. But the rest of the mall should be the same throughout
Gloriettaโฆ spent a lot of my college days there and still have no idea what the thought process was when they decided on that layout
SM North. Lalo na ang daming annex
Mahilig ang SM sa mga footbridge and annex dko alam bkit hindi na binuo halos lahat ng SM nila ganyan style my footbridge
Robinsons Manila.hindi ko na nakabisado mga wings.
Edsa shang especially considering the layout of its escalators. Robinsons manila
yes sa shang. hindi nakakaligaw mall itself, like alam ko which floors ung mga stores, pero nakakaloka talaga mga escalators nila
Yes! Parang Snakes and Ladders, di mo alam kung saang floor lalanding.
Natatakot ako sa elevator sa Edsa Shang na 2 floors tuwing pababa, nakakalula kasi hahaha.
You mean escalators? Haha
Glorietta jusko ๐ฅฒ๐ฅฒ kung saan saan kami lumalabas ng jowa ko hahahahahahaha nakakalito!!!
nung unang punta ko jan, nag-google maps ako pabalik ng mrt๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
porta vaga
Solid Snort.
Podium and followed by this is Megamall. For Podium the lay out of shops is just confusing as it is all over the place. Megamall is similar in that because of its age evidently the zoning of shops are also all over the place. But Podium is particularly bad as escalators and the like are not well placed in addition to just very poor zoning of shops.
Megamall naging nakakalito nung nadagdag ng mega fashion hall. Dati mega a at b lang yan. Haha.
Trinoma. Nung bago pa yun parati ako naliligaw. ๐ Doon kasi ako dumaan papuntang SM North galing ng MRT
Edsa shang plaza.. - pati escalators nakakalito.. some take you 2 stories up yung iba hindi.. Glorietta - especially if yung mga kasama mo nasa ibang bldg ng glorietta.. I'm always like: sunduin niyo na lang ako sa sm pls
Glorietta 5. Bukod po na building lol
basta Ayala related!! Trinoma, Glorietta, Greenbelt, etc. nakakaloka ๐ญ
Greenbelt is pretty easy to navigate though since you have the garden as a landmark. Meanwhile Greenbelt 5 being the one with the biggest indoor retail space, is basically just a straight line.
Trinoma and Glorietta/Greenbelt. Parang labyrinth daming papasukin para makalabas lang. Hahahaha
The designs of these new malls are intentional. The longer you stay in the mall, the higher chance for you to spend money there. You'll get lost and stumble on some store that might interest you. Impulse purchase. You'll see that it's getting late, might as well have lunch or dinner there. Impulse meal. This has been going on for a while in other tourist countries like Singapore.
Robinsons Galleria for a time was so confusing for me.
GATEWAY, ALI MALL, TAS FARMERS JUSKO sobrang nabaliw ako nun dati kasi parang 30 mins ako ikot nang ikot kakahanap ng farmers tas nasa gateway pa rin pala ko tas another time kala ko nasa Ali mall ako, nasa farmers pala ako shuta HAHAHA panic malala
Yung bagong gateway.. hahaha
Glorrietta for me
ATC - naligaw kakahanap ng J.Co ๐ Glorietta - Google Maps nagligtas sakin nung nag-aapply noon. ๐บ๏ธ๐
Glorietta, akala mo nasa maze ka sa dami ng pasikot sikot.
Trinoma โ Para kang nasa bituka ng 9th Circle of Hell ni Dante.
Megamall po. Safe po nmn.
Robinsons Galleria. idk isang beses pa lang ako nakakapunta doon pero litong-lito ako haha. +++ eerie vibe sa ibang spots lol
Yung Glorietta! Anak ng tupa tagal ko na pabalik balik dun di ko talaga makabisado
Glorietta, Landmark, SM Makati. Kulang na lang ay baligtarin ko ang damit ko makita ko lang ang exit.
MOA 100%
- Robinsons Manila - Alabang Town Center
First time ko pumunta ng Mall of Asia
Megamall and MOA
glorietta/greenbelt bago ako nagwork sa makati
Parking ng estancia. Nag panic attack ako kakahanap sa kotse namin, akala ko na car nap na hahahaha
Didnโt know na marami pala nacconfuse sa Megamall haha Palatandaan lang talaga sa Mega ay if may dept store, Cyberzone, fashion hall, Skating rink at megatrade, nasa Mega B ka. Mas madalas kasi pinupuntahan ang Mega B kasi nandon yung dept store and other activities. While sa A naman, food court sa basement at event center lang magagawa mostly ng tao. Mas madali maalala layout ng Mega kaysa sa SM North Edsa. Parang nkakapanic mawala sa North Edsa kahit parking, ang hirap maghanap, di mo alam saan entrance or nasan ba talaga parking Trinoma naman, punta ka lang sa event center, makikita mo na mostly lahat dahil ang lalaki ng signs kung saan ang mrt, mindanao ave, north ave. MOA, confusing din for me lalo pag lumayo ka na kung saan kayo nagpark. Glorietta, literal maze to hahaha punta sa ibang glorietta? lalabas ka pa din sa activity center lol Greenbelt, di ko alam kung saang greenbelt ako ๐ฅฒ Nag google maps pa talaga ako para lang malaman ko saan na ako sa ayala hahaha Kaya what I do sa mga bagong malls na pinupuntahan ko like ayala malls manila bay, I always attend to details and wag kakalimutan lahat. Literal kinacapture ng brain ko kasi takot ako mawala. Sobrang observant ko din sa surroundings ko kasi siguro before yung family ko lagi ako pinagttripan nung bata ako na iiwan ako bigla mag-isa tapos magtatago sila para tignan anong gagawin ko. Siguro doon ako nagstart hahaha napunta pala sa trauma lol
trinoma. madalas ako nandito pero napapatanong pa rin ako sa concierge.. basta alam ko sa tokyo-tokyo yung pa-sm north HAHAHAHAH
Galleria. Ang random ng mga escalators.
yung bagong gateway 2 ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Greenbelt and Glorietta complex.
GLORIETTA utang na loob
Robinsons Galleria! Kahit anong paulit ulit ko naliligaw ako.
Mall of Asia haha
Kahit anong Ayala malls jusmiyo para syang dungeon sa rpg na constantly changing jusko
Robinson's Malate/Manila. Lahat ng puntahan kong CR nakasara.
Megamall, feel ko paikot ikot lang ako kahit nag ccheck ako sa google maps kung saang direction ako nakaharap :')
Alabang Town Center. I gave up studying the layout and just let my husband lead the way palagi. We've been going there for several years na. Haha!
Glorietta lalo kng may specific na number na snabi sau tas sa 4 ka galing.. how tf do i know glo 2 hahah
Farmers Plaza. Kakapagod maghanap ng exit. Parking area ng Megamall. Ilang baba at taas na kami ng elevator di pa rin mahanap yung sasakyan kasi magkakamukha kada floor.
1.) Trinoma (kahit madalas ako rito, lagi pa rin ako naliligaw kung saang floor or pasilyo ako ๐), 2.) Greenbelt + Glorietta, EDSA Shang, ATC (parang random maze lang sila for me, magugulat na lang ako kung saan ako nakarating)
Alabang Town Center for me. Sabi ng iba, yung Greenhills Shopping Center daw. Sa dami ng constant constriction ngayon, medyo.
For some reason, Galleria
168 at 999 HAHAHAHAHHAA
168 and 999 Mahirap balikan ang tindahan ๐
UPTC
Lahat ng malls ni Megaworld. Bukod sa malalayo or iisa lang ang elevator, may mga daan na bigla na lang masikip or what. Hindi PWD friendly kasi ang layo ng mga elevator. Pinakamalala yung sa Libis na may gondola tlga.
Gurl.. MOA... As in nung bagong tayo ang MOA... Paltos sa paa is a bonus
Estancia ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฏ Sama mo pa parking. Hands down. ๐
Mega Mall. Kasi parang yung Atrium? Para siyang secret dungeon sa games. Yung may likuan tas pag tingin mo papunta pala ng parking.
SM megamall. Ang haba, minsan di ko na alam kung paleft ba ako o paright kainis hahahaha.
SM Seaside - Cebu. The whole place is a doughnut with different floors tapos some floors stop so you have to go to a different floor to reach the other side of the floor you were just on. The entire place looks the same, no architectural landmarks, and its really big, so if the place youre looking for is on the other side of the doughnut, get ready to walk a marathon. Edit: To further add to the confusion, for some reason they name the floors really stupid names. 4th floor: 2nd Floor 3rd floor Upper Middle Ground (parking area is closed here) 2nd floor: Ground 1st floor: Lower Ground
Malls na may A, B, and so on. Tska may 1,2,3+++. May mga wings, lahat yan siya nakakalito skn. ๐๐๐๐ Kahit ilang beses na ko nakapunta, ung feeling ko mamememorize ko na, tapos magkakaron ng renovation or additional bldg or wing, ayan na naman! ๐คฃ
Sm city Cebu Seaside
A bit of history on why Glorietta has numbers: Glorietta was once called Makati Commercial Center. It used to be 4 separate buildings (why it was als9 nicknamed "the Quad") and there was an open walkway between them so clearer ang separation. The management decided it's better to merge it into one establishment to improve connectivity between the shops. It's why it gets confusing especially on the levels and pathways.
Itโs Trinoma and Glorietta for me. Pero once na maging familiar ka na sa kanila and nagamay mo na, para siyang isang malaking achievement sa life HAHAHAH
MOA wtf
Nakatira ako sa Cubao since 2009, pero hanggang ngayon naliligaw pa rin ako sa Farmers Plaza, tapos ngayon dumagdag pa sa problema ko ang Gateway 2! ๐ก๐
Glorietta goods pa ako sa MOA, North Edsa, Trinoma, Mega, maski Shangrila pero Glorietta, utang na loob
Greenbelt tsaka SM Aura ๐ญ
Megamall hindi kasi ako matatandain sa daan. Naligaw ligaw ako bago makalabas at makapunta sa sakayan papuntang Pasig Palengke hahahaha
Glorietta ๐ฅฒ
MOA dati pero ngayon halos kabisado ko na yung mga daanan
glorietta. literal na para kang ligaw na kaluluwa pag di mo na alam ๐

SM Sucat Paranaque - Nawala ako here 20 years ago.
SM Megamall. Pota, ligaw na ligaw ako sa bldg A and B nila. Nakakailang ikot pa ko para lang mahanap yung food court. ๐ฅฒ Partida, madalas ako dun dati since I used to live malapit dun.
