I woke up earlier than usually, at about 9am because I had received the wake-up-call from Milena. We had some stuff to do.
So I prepared breakfast for my dad and out I went. It was a lovely morning, though it was a bit gloomy. But it wasn't too cold and the weather was dry. Of course I used the opportunity to wear my white skinny jeans)
and my favourite SUPERGIRL tee) that's really enough for a nice mood)
There are two malls in this city that I love. They are located one opposite the other just in the town center. Both are 4-storey and huge. They are the most modern malls here, launched about 1 or 2 years ago.
As we had to pick a nice present for our friend Narineh, who's gonna get married this December, we went to one of these malls. (shall we call it the T-mall?)
We got a gorgeous silver ring with a handful of semiprecious stones scattered on it. It looked sooo beautiful, we both liked it. Then we chose a cute octagon silver box with a pink ribbon flower on top of the lid (oh, I so regret we didn't take any pictures of them)

| the snowflake brooch was also made of felt. |
In fact we had so much fun doing shopping, we just laughed all the time taunting and teasing each other. Then a taxi took us to a beauty store, which was celebrating it's launch-day (?) and had every item in stock on sale with a 35% discounted price. Just great! So Milena took Agent Provocateur for her mom.

So Milena got this biggest box of the perfume and headed for the till, the lady at the till said that she was terribly sorry, but there probably had been a mistake and blah blah blah. I got angry. But I kept watching her fake apologetical faces. And when Milena said it's ok, just gimme the damn perfume, I had to say no way. There's a special point about consumer protection that the shop assistant must sell the thing to consumer at the price shown on the price tag. Even if the price isn't up to date and they just hadn't had the time to change it.
I was not shouting, just speaking very clearly and while I was giving the talk more and more customers started paying attention. That was not good for business, so the shop-lady just said - I can't help you with the price matter, but let's just change your discount card for a higher value card. So Milena had a 20% discount card in exchange for her 10% one) in addition to that she got a bunch of perfume and make-up testers, a Givenchy cosmetics bag and a black (worn-out as it turned out later) umbrella.
Then she had to go to work for 12pm and I had a private lesson appointed for the same time. We both were almost in time, just a couple of minutes late which is a rare thing for both of us. We're always horribly late for half an hour or more. )))
When I phoned my student to check if he's in, he asked me if it was possible to postpone the lesson for an hour or so. I said ofc not, I'm already there. He said that his mom would gladly keep me company while he was out for 20 minutes then.
So I chatted with his mom, then he was back and we had a snack (he made it and made me have it!). Then he confessed that when I had mentioned 12pm he'd thought I'd meant half past one. Funny.
After that we practiced English for 2 hours and he said he always enjoyed spending time with me. He literally said that I take him back to his childhood, cuz he can feel so free and easy only with me. And did I mention that he's the hottest guy among all the 19-year-old boys I know. So I definitely enjoy spending time with him too. =)
When we were done I texted Milena to get to their place, cause my student is Narineh's brother and so his mom is Narineh's mom too. And as she's going to stay with her daughter for 3 months we found it a great idea to send the ring with her. Milena was there in 10 minutes. Narineh's mom was moved with all our attention to her dearest daughter, she definitely was on the verge of tears. And she liked the ring! )
After all the warm wishes and embraces we both left, Milena returned to her work and I went to pick up my friend Masha from her work cuz we had some shopping to do that evening. Ofc we went to the same beauty shop, and Masha got a bunch of things for herself, luckily the prices were alright.
We decided to have a dinner at our favourite oriental restaurant which is located in one of the two big malls that I like, only in the M-mall. We refer to this restaurant as Arabica, cuz we don't like it's actual name. =) We found out that that was the last day of Arabica in the M-mall. They are moving to another mall also in the center of the town, but we never go shopping there and we hardly ever pass by it. So, bad choice. We need to find a new place to hang out really soon. Here are a couple of pics from our last evening at our favourite place.

Masha decided to accompany me on my way home, my dad phoned me and said we were out of bread, so we got to this hyper food store, got our shops and each headed home.
Finally I was home, my favourite neighbour called on me and asked if I wanted to go 'round the block in his car. Sure! And we drove a bit in the neighbourhood, laughing our hearts out! Cuz it was the most useless and funny trip in our lives)
To cap it all, my grandma overheard me singing in the kitchen (Selena Gomez's Naturally) and commented that if I had been trained in my early years I could have become a famous singer. Wow, granny!
