There are a lot of SM malls out there to choose from such as the Mall of Asia, or SM Megamall. Out…read moreof all their malls however, I would have to say that SM Southmall is the mall that I've been to the most. It is after all the one closest to my village and is the biggest mall in Las Pinas and indeed maybe even the south, but don't quote me on that one. Anyway, this place has a lot of stores and floor space is huge. Each floor has different sections or wings with each wing specializing in a particular type of merchandise. For example, the top floor is mostly about tech and gadgets. There are plenty of stuff up there that a gadget or computer love could find. The other thing I find unique about SM Southmall is that it's one of the few malls left that still has a skating rink. It's smaller than I remember, and I think they changed the location, but it's still there.

Beside the polish of Alabang Town Center and the sheer size of Festival Mall, Starmall appears as a…read morelesser cousin in the Muntinlupa mall scene. While this place is admittedly lacking in the glitz and glamour departments, it happens to have a barebones and down-to-earth charm all its own. While there are many shops in this complex, there are three things that stand out. First of all, there are numerous thrift (or ukay-ukay) shops here, some of which are quite sizeable. If you prefer bargain shopping for second-hand clothes and shoes in air-conditioned comfort, Starmall is a good place to go. The second is the pool. Located at the mall's top floor, the large swimming complex is an oddity that provides opportunities to cool down from the day's heat. The prices, unsurprisingly, are reasonable although the facility isn't the cleanest out there. The last is the large amusement complex, also found on the top floor. While impressive from a distance, up close it becomes apparent that the equipment could use some work, with obvious signs of use. Some attractions are even closed. One interesting tidbit about this mall: the movie theatre has a reputation for being haunted. I can't say anything about this, but I'd much rather watch elsewhere just in case.

More popularly known as "BF Ruins", the Good Shepherd Bazaar has become a permanent fixture and…read morelong-time favorite local haunt amongst southside folks. It's a popular "tiangge" where you can get these four things: Pirated DVDs/Music CDs, cheap clothing and shoes, mobile phones/accessories, and cheap food. It's not glamorous nor is it well-ventilated, but on days outside of the holiday season, it's a pretty relaxed place to go for some light impulse shopping after work, or a place to get some cheap, quick snacks in BF Homes. Although on holiday season, beware because this place becomes a cramped, sticky labyrinth, but still is a convenient place to get some last-minute gifts. Back when the internet wasn't such a thing and DSL connection was still unheard of, my favorite stall here would be this seller of rare/hard-to-find/indie pirated DVD's. But now, I just go here for cheap clothes and to grab some veggie snacks at Feng Ling, the cheap Malaysian & Singaporean food place, which serves tofu, veggie balls, fried kangkong, and yummy green mango smoothies. If you're planning to drop by, do visit around 5pm to be sure that all the stalls are already open. They open late, and since there is zero ventilation system inside, it's better to go when the sun is out.

It has been called by many names: BF night market, The Good Shepherd Bazaar, Ruins. But most…read moreresidents from the south know it by the name that it was first called: BF Ruins. This interesting little one-stop-shop for everything has been inside BF Homes as far back as I can remember. Before Aguirre became a famous food strip, right at its corner with President's Avenue was the ruins of an abandoned old building. Some really cool merchants started pitching tents and setting up tables to sell their wares there. You'd find a lot of really cool vintage items and some stylish clothes that you won't get in malls. Over the years, it has developed more into a find-everything-here place selling DVDs, CDs, electronic gadgets, accessories, clothes for kids, swimwear, tshirts, gift items and toys. It is now a structure with a huge roof and several stalls. It was called The Good Shepherd Bazaar for a few years now and usually runs between 2pm to 2am. However, their selling time seems to have changed very recently and most stalls are already open by noon and close around 11pm. While shopping in the sweltering heat may not be a good idea in the summer, I often brave the traffic and the heat to go here because they still have the best selection of children's items. If you're looking for class A toys, they've got a bunch you can get from P100 to P200. For instance, if you buy Shopkins (those little plastic toys with faces) in the mall, a 5-piece set would cost you about P350. Here, you get the items with the same quality - since it's all made in China anyway - for P120. You can get a two-piece swim suit for a baby for only P80 and Gerber Graduates, which is not available in malls here, for P220. Pajamas for kids run for about P100. Oh, and they have a nice little food area where you can get some really cool snacks. They have kwek-kwek and tokneneng selling for P20 for an order of 5 pieces. Chicken skin is the bomb! They sell 5 pieces for P25.

Nice place to go out for dinner if you're lazy to fight with the throngs of people at the mall. Restaurants are a bit pricier but you have some casual chains like Yellow Cab and Army Navy.

I went there last weekend with my family to have dinner and I liked the fact that it's not too crowded; finding a parking spot was a breeze. We didn't have to wait to be seated in our chosen restaurant (there is a variety of cuisines to choose from) and I wasn't stressed out about losing my active two year old in the mall or my infant acquiring a virus from a mass of people. After dinner, we walked to the Korean grocery located inside the mall and indulged in our favorite Korean ice cream. They also have the Commercenter Cinemas with Taters as their food concessionaire (major plus points for me). The place is perfect if you want some nice and laidback family time.

Aside from having a stand-alone furniture shop, Bungalow 300 also comes up with a fun series of…read morepop-ups all throughout the year. Filled with unique finds and one-of-a-kind items, their pop-ups are always must-visits. Each pop-up usually has a theme and each theme depends on the vendors or brands that they partner up with. The vendors they tap are usually home decor brands, skin-care lines, independent clothing and accessories brands, fashion designers, jewelry designers, and even fine-art galleries. What's most interesting about Bungalow 300's pop-ups are the venue choices they have for them. Sometimes, they are housed in their own store in Alabang, other times they hold it in a mall. If they're feeling really creative, they take over a home and dress it up in their signature-Bungalow 300 look. To make sure that you don't miss their pop-up schedules, it would be best to follow Bungalow 300's Instagram account (@bungalow300) or to sign up for their newsletters on their website at www.bungalow300.com.

This place is really intended for Ayala Malls cardholders, but they also opened the lounge to nursing moms or moms who need to change their kids' nappies. I was so impressed with the nursing room at Greenbelt 5, but this is even better. It has a big lounge chair with foot stool and a side table with a lamp. Though individual nursing areas are only separated by curtains, the space is quite big to accommodate a companion. The breastfeeding room also has a bottle warmer and a changing pad for those who want to change their baby's diaper. The other amenities (like the comfort rooms, computers and kids play area) are exclusively for Ayala card members, but non-cardholders can still use the restroom with a minimum fee.
