Visiting Cubao eXpo

I've known Cubao eXpo or Cubao X (used to be the Marikina Shoe Expo) through the internet.What excites me most to visit Cubao X, is because almost all the shops here offers vintage products (which, by the way listed on my interests). 

We came here at around 11 am and as I expected there were some shops which are not yet open (they usually open at around 3-4pm).

But to my luckiness there’s one vintage/antique shop that is open for service just a few blocks away from the exit gate (forgot the name zorriness!)

My lovey and I roam the entire eXpo which is a U-shape in an aerial view. There we saw Bellini's Restaurant (the original Bellini's), Mogwai Restaurant, The Junkie Shop (popular for their tansan and keyboard rings which cost Php175.00 each), The Reading Room (which I imagine myself sitting all day on a comfy couch and read w/ a cup of tea), Sputnik Fantastik Comic shop (calling all comic lovers), Karma and etc.

After touring around, we went down at the Big dome to watched San Miguel Beermen vs. Brgy. Ginebra Gin Kings and B-Meg Derby Aces vs. Talk 'N Text.
lucky to occupy good viewing seats for a tough game like this
and the roar and war begins

Where is Cubao eXpo?
☛ Gen. Romulo St., Araneta Center, Cubao QC, 1109

Landmarks:
☛ Located behind Alimall & the former Rustan's building (which now houses Automatic Superstore & Advanced Contact Solutions Call Center), and is between the Araneta Bus Terminal & Puregold.

Critique: 
An "A" for the uniqueness of the shops and their products.
 But if you want to shop and dine in their restaurants you need a lot of cash for you to fully enjoy Cubao X's experience.
