She liked seeing happy faces who all looked at her in admiration. </p><p>In a small dress shop, Serena found the best gown she saw in her entire life. It was simple but elegant; sophisticated but cheap. </p><p>&quot;I think nakita ko na lahat ng hinahanap ko. You know, this is a really nice place. In Italia, we have market square and many shopping streets kung saan mo makikita lahat ng designer brands. Pero dito, nandito na lahat ng makikita mo at maiisip mo.&quot;</p><p>After shopping, the two ended their day with the most common street food in the city-- fishball. </p>
