The Long Search for a Sound Bar - Part II

The next day, (09/29/13), +maria cessna galecio and I, headed out of Antipolo to go home to Novaliches. But we were planning to drop by a few malls to see if we could find a sound bar.

First off was Robinson's Pioneer. I remember seeing an electronic shop there dubbed the Forum. Also, I had my watch's battery replaced there, and it had died on me in about 4 months, so I was going to claim on the warranty.

When we got to the mall, the Forum was no longer there. There was an Automatic Center, which unfortunately, did not carry sound bars.

Chea, however, during her search for shoes and a dress, found a car seat from Baby 1st. They were on sale at 20-25% discount, which put their prices between 2,200 - 2,700 pesos.

Thirdy's car seat!


We've been looking for a car seat for Thirdy as he's getting to be a handful during car rides. Most of the car seats we've seen cost upwards of 3,000 pesos. So this was the cheapest we've found that's brand new. The designs weren't half bad. So we ended up leaving Robinson's Pioneer with something for Thirdy, but nothing for his Tatay. Oh well.

These were the other two we were considering. They had arm rest/bars but were cheaper than the one that didnt have any. And one of them even has a cuppy holder. Aww.

After that, we went to look for lunch, since we were near Kapitolyo, we opted to try the restaurants there. We haven't eaten at Thai Dara yet, so we stopped by for a late lunch. I'll blog about it soon.

We then headed homewards. I don't plan on hitting the bigger malls as it gets tiring especially with the large crowds, so we're looking at the smaller malls that would have appliance stores.

Along the way, we dropped by Wilcon City Center along Visayas Ave, as I remembered them having a Saver's Appliance Depot there.

It was a big store and they had big discounts on some items. They had about 2 sound bars available. One was the same LG make and model that was being sold for less than 4,000 pesos at S&R Baclaran. Unfortunately, their price was about 7,000 pesos. They also sold an LG (or was it Philips?) sound bar with subs and bluetooth. These were selling for 24,000 pesos. Ouch.

There was a CD-R King branch there too. I was thinking of settling for one of those re-badged sound bars of theirs that was selling for less than 3,000 pesos. I saw one being used at Anix's House of Kare Kare, and it sounded pretty decent. Granted, it was piping music that time so I don't know how it would sound with movies.

But as luck would have it, they no longer had stocks there and aren't sure if they were still being sold at other branches.

Disappointed, Chea and I just headed home. It looks like the search will have to continue another day.
