the canDIshhh tales

Last weekend, I brought Kailee with me to SM North Edsa to visit the newly opened Tickles at the main mall across Jollibee.  On the way to the store, I excitedly and happily told Kailee that when I was younger, I used to buy stationaries and pens at Tickles and that there used to be a store in Greenhills.  There were times my friends and I would walk to Shoppesville after school.  She was quite excited to see what Mommy was talking about. When we got to the store, Kailee was so excited to see whats in side.  When we were inside, I think she was mesmerized with all of the stuff!  She was grabbing things left and right and putting them in my basket!  She said she wanted to get everything and obviously, that's not possible.  Hahaha!  So she had to put a lot of things back.   The store is filled with so many knick knacks.  I'm sure you'd find one for every member of the family.  It's a different experience once you're insi...

I think most everyone in my school (during my time) knew of Tickles.  It was a treasure trove of cutesy stuff, stationary, ballpens, organizers and many more.  I grew up going to Tickles every single time I was in Greenhills.  I still remember where the original Tickles store used to be.  Honestly, whenever I am in Greenhills - I would have flashbacks of what the Tickles store looked like. Most of my friends went there to shop for cute stuff.  Erasers, stationaries (it was uso before to write letters to one another) - the so many many stationary pads, the quirky designs and smart-ish quotes.  I swear, it was heaven for us girls.  I remember whatever Tickles sold, would become the *fad*, well sort of - since all of us in ICA would scramble to get our hands on these new merchandise. Their Greenhills store has long closed and they've moved to the malls.  Whenever I see a Tickles store, it bring me back to my younger years.  Hahaha!! ...
