Art Bar.
Alabang Town Center.
As we looked through the modest selection of books at the rear of Art Bar, one of the sales ladies came over and said to me, “It’s a good thing that you came today. There is still a lot to choose from.”
I’ll be honest. At that moment, I didn’t know if I should be grateful or somewhat sad for reasons I already discussed in yesterday’s post.
Nevertheless, my family and I did our due diligence and went through their small selection. Unlike Powerbooks Trinoma[i], Art Bar was not stocked with graphic novels but it did have a number of Chuck Palahniuk books that I was interested in: Survivor (1999) and Make Something Up (2015)[ii].
In total, I spent P615.25.
A total that already included my son’s Gravity Falls book which was 80% off the cover price.
