i guess this is too much to ask...for now.

i wish there's a virtual copy of Philippine malls. take for example the mall in North EDSA. i wish there is an online version of it where i can browse its stores with the use of my computer. i can roam inside it, navigate each and every store and check their products with the use of an internet browser and a computer mouse. not that im too lazy to go to the mall. its just im too busy to use up my time walking around inside the mall only to end up finding out that the product im looking for is not available or they dont have anything i like. calling the store itself is a convenient alternative but im more of a visual person and i prefer to see things rather than hear about it. and i can only use such option if i know what im looking for. it wont apply if i just want to window shop first. so i want a technology where i can window shop in a particular mall online and i want that technology applied in this country or at least in Metro Manila. aside from virtual window shopping, it could help save time because when i actually go to the mall, i already know where to go and i already know what to buy. the only problem that i will have to deal with is the travel time that i will consume by actually going to the mall.

a much simpler alternative is for the stores and stalls inside the mall to put up websites where they will post and update their list of items available. but i still prefer having a virtual mall instead of just a website. 

im the type of buyer that can be very picky or very impulsive. sometimes i know what i want to buy but im too specific about it so even if there's a wide range of choices, i end up not buying anything because none of the products are good enough. sometimes i dont even have a plan to buy anything but when i see something that for some strange reason i must buy it at that very moment (even if not necessary) and i know i can afford it, i just buy it. i just happen to be in the mood to buy it. in both instances, i need to roam around the mall. and roaming consumes time. and time is something i dont have. well, i do have time now. but mall hours prevent me from using my free time to roam inside the mall and browse for items i need or want to buy.

i sound like a shopaholic but im not. i just miss roaming inside the mall. it used to be some sort of stress reliever. im a mallrat since highschool. i like dropping by the mall and do some window shopping. now, i cant do that anymore. well, not as frequent as before. i just dont have the time.
