DIVIMART ~ Divisoria Prices in a Mall Setting

Welcome to DIVIMART!

This place is a real haven for budget shoppers, who doesn't have the heart to brave the terrible Manila traffic to shop in Divisoria. This is the place to shop, if you want to stretch your hard earned Pesos.

This mall seems to have everything at very low prices.

Groceries, school supplies, cosmetics and accessories, account for most of the First floor.

Cutie fashion accessories ~ perfect for your little divas (I am sure my niece's eyes will popped-out with the sight of all these pretty bows and hairclips) ~ priced at P40 and up.

Wallets and pouches made of canvas  ~ P80 and up per set.

Pretty character backpacks ~ starting at P240. 

Character loot bag set, nice for your child's next party ~ priced at P40 and up.

Or DIY with these goodie bags/drawstrings, priced at P20 and up.

These school supplies make good loot bag fillers.

These metallic balloons will complete your birthday party at P19 and up. 

School supplies ~

Housewares, appliances, toys and apparel is seen at the Second floor.

Food trays are priced at P120 and up a piece.  

Tents at only P900. 

Apparel section is only about 1/5th of the upstair's floor, but enough to choose from.

If you are shopping with kids, stay away from the toys' section.

I spent about 2-3 hours roving about and checking out all the merchandise.   They have so much stuff, packed inside DiviMart.   I was literally all over the place, but I didn't felt tired one bit.  I think it helped that the place was air-conditioned.

The only downside is the limited parking space.  Parking could be a problem if you are arriving late.

My favorite buys for the day:

 Pokémon Cap ~ P75each

Silicon ice tray ~ P45

Toothpick ~ P20

DiviMart is located behind the New Taytay Public Market; And is just a short walk from the Taytay Tiangge Market.

Pinto Art Museum ~ World Class Art Museum

 

WARNING:  This post is picture heavy (this blogger had the hardest time ever to decide which pictures to post ~ :P )

 

Truth be told, Pinto Art Museum is more than just a museum!  It is living and breathing work of ART!  It is an amazing place, full of exceptional art pieces that made my eyes pop out of excitement.

 

Pinto Art Museum is a 1.3 hectare lot area, with about six huge galleries, a chapel, vast gardens (including a sculpture garden and a full size pool) and café  ~ perfect for an all day "all you can shoot selfies".      

 

 

Now for the art pieces I love...

 

This collection titled, "Transient Present" is by Ms. Sandra Fabie-Gfeller.  Me and my friends love the movements, lines and color of her paintings. 

 

 

 

 

 

 Another favorite piece is this eccentric chair.   I so love this picture too.

 

 

This is my favorite of the sculptures adorning Pinto's garden.  I was really awed, when I saw there is an actual sculpture of a baby inside this mother's womb.  

 

 

 

 Yes, a jaw dropping piece - this one!  The sculptor used mesh and wire and created "LOVE".

 

 

This painting entitled "Karnabal" is 12 feet high and 40 feet wide, it took 16 painters (who call themselves Salingpusa) to finish it.  

 

 

 

 

Found these  pieces ingenious and clever.  I really want them in my garden!

 

 

 

 

 

What about a wall size window that opens to a beautiful garden :P  

 

 

 

 

My and my girls! 

 

 

 

 

My handsome hubby, just so "into" the moment...  Pinto has that effect on people.     

 

MamaSpeaks highly recommends a visit to the PINTO ART MUSEUM.  Schools should even consider bringing their field trips here for art appreciation.

TIPS: 

1. Pinto Museum is huge, I suggest you wear comfortable walking shoes (rubber shoes preferably) touring the place requires a lot of walking and climbing up and down stairs. When you think you have covered all, you would be surprised there are more galleries in the lower grounds waiting to be discovered.
2. Bring a change of clothing, face cloth and water. 
3. Try to visit on a weekday (as it tends to be crowded during weekends).
4. And lastly don't forget your camera (oh and make sure your battery is full charged).
