I am excited for Christmas! It will be more exciting if I can go home and spend my time with my family and friends. Well, we really do not know yet if we spend Christmas in the Philippines or in Mississippi. But, if I will visit PI this year, it will be a long vacation once again.
I took these pictures last year during my rare visit at LimKetKai Mall, one of the grandest malls in my city.
You can name the things that you need and you can buy it here without driving to another area. From groceries to appliances, movie theatre to fine ding, massage and spa to kids plaza, it is all here. You will never get hungry because food chains are everywhere. The Florida Mall is a shopping mall and if you want to buy for groceries, there is nothing there. You need to go to a grocery store in another block or two. But, LKK Mall has it all.
I miss Lim Ket Kai Mall because this is the mall where I pass by everyday from my work-to home commute. Looking at the pictures, I miss home for Christmas already.

This is inside SM mall in Cagayan de Oro City while I was waiting a friend outside Watson's pharmacy.
Every main doors in the SM Mall has security guards and for me it was normal. Far different in the US because you seldom see them here even the banks mostly have no security guards. The mentality of my American friends when they knew that we have security guards in most establishments in PI, we have problems with peace and order. I just shrugged it off!
Here's the blurry photos taken at LKK Mall. We were rushing to find an ATM inside which we did find anyhow. I love to roam around the mall if given enough of the time.
I am so proud of the malls in Cagayan de Oro because they are nice and well maintain. I can bring my American friends and I can be proud of our place.
As you can see from the decoration, it was Christmas and the malls were beautiful with all the glitters and huge Christmas trees.
We are still contemplating either to visit Philippines or go somewhere else for Christmas Vacation. My husband enjoyed SM Mall and I bet he will love to go visit the Philippines once again.
This is SM City Mall in Cagayan de Oro City which is located in Pueblo de Oro township, Uptown in Carmen area.
This mall is owned and operated by SM Prime Holdings.
Presently, SM Cagayan is the 2nd SM Supermall located in Mindanao and the first SM Supermall in Northern Mindanao area.
What I love about SM Mall is that, it has everything that I need! The grocery store is huge, has wide selections of appliances and has great display of electronics. 
The parking garage is very safe, huge and spacious.
I took this picture on weekdays at 9:30 in the morning and forgot that they will only open at 10 AM. When you visit Cagayan de Oro City in the Philippines, I suggest you stay in Ridgeview Chalets at Xavier Estates and this mall is your primary hang out. It will probably take you less than 10 minutes to arrive in the mall. Visit Cagayan now!
