KUCHI- KUCHI.
I don’t know if you guys know this word but I grew up using this to refer to ABUBOT. I love abubots. I thank the Japanese guys for bringing in Saizen and Japan Home Center in Manila. I can spend hours and hours there just checking out the kuchi-kuchis.
Before the Saizens and Japan Home Centers of this world there’s REGINA’s gift shop. Regina’s is the original kuchi-kuchi haven in my book.
I grew up frequenting REGINA‘s gift shop in Greenhills. Since the time I learned how to cut classes commute from school on my own, Greenhills has always been my instant go to place when I’m bored. Back in high school, I remember how I’d save up my weekly allowance to hoard on those quilted laura ashley-esque printed bags with matching wallet and clear transparent picture holders to hold our wallet sized photos from Belles Studio (then we’d go to Greenlanes or sneak in Tia Marias after for pa-cute time/ boy watching). I had quite a collection then – of bags, not boys. It was also the go to place for those 500ml bottles of Nenuco, Denenes, S3 and Gotas De Oro colognes, Tiger Beat, scrunchies and trapper keepers (numa-90’s no?). Regina’s was my favorite shop then for my allowance can not afford to buy abubots at Gift Gate and Tickles all the time.
Cut to today, ayun may Regina’s pa rin and still marami pa rin finds…HAPPINESS!
