Did you know that SM Mall of Asia is apparently… French? At least according to Miss Earth 2025 Joy Barcoma when she guested on Dogshow Divas with Macoy Dubs and Baus Rufo. If you caught that episode, you already know the energy: chaotic, clever, and completely unserious in the best way.

Somewhere between the improv bits and beauty queen banter, they came up with fictional titles like Tote Bag Queen, Ms. Pickleball, Matcha Girlie, and Ms. Zodiac Rising. Camp? Absolutely. Accurate? Also yes. Because if you’re a yuppie, chances are you’ve entered at least one very specific lifestyle era.

And whatever girlie you are, there’s a place for you at SM Supermalls. It’s your quintessential family-friendly mall and the first stop when you’re hunting for the latest deals and promos!

Let’s get into it.

The Tote Bag Queen
She doesn’t just carry a bag, she curates her carry! Laptop, planner, water bottle, emergency flats, maybe a quick haul from the mall shopping stores.

SM Aura and SM Megamall

Her heavy-duty essential? The iconic blue hauler from IKEA. Not for cute café days—this one’s for grocery runs, laundry, or moving half your condo in one trip. It’s practical, durable, and built to carry serious weight.

Then there’s the customizable city tote from Ana Tomy. Switch up the straps and details, and suddenly it’s a whole new vibe. It’s sustainable too because instead of buying five bags during the next round of mall sales, you reinvent the one you already love.


(L-R) Canvas Wide Tote Bag from Muji; Canvas Tote Bag from Uniqlo

For everyday polish, classic canvas totes from your favorite shopping mall stores (hello, MUJI and UNIQLO) offer structure without stiffness. Perfect for solo errands, café hopping, or exploring the best spots for solo shopping.

Add the convenience of smart and accessible parking spaces and even bike parkings at SM Malls, and your Tote Bag Queen life just runs smoother.

Ms. Pickleball
She treats rallies like networking with cardio. Ms. Pickleball shows up prepared: paddle ready, shoes laced, post-game plan locked in.


(L-R) Franklin Signature Pro Series 16mm Paddle; K-Swiss Speedex 2; Franklin X-26 Indoor Pickleball Balls,

all available at Pickle Lab in SM City North Edsa, SM Mall of Asia, and SM Aura.

A performance paddle gives her control and power. Court shoes keep her steady during quick pivots. Reliable indoor balls ensure consistent bounce. Sleek protective eyewear keeps her safe without sacrificing style—all of which are available at Pickle Lab!

But the lifestyle extends beyond the court. After a match, it’s refueling at the food court, browsing gadget stores in Cyberzone for new earbuds, or catching up on the latest mall promos. Watch a film at SM Cinema, or plan spontaneous indoor date with your S.O. For active girlies who want convenience and community, it’s the easiest answer to “where to hang out in Manila?”

Matcha Girlie
She romanticizes her mornings and schedules “deep work” sessions like meetings. Her search history? “cafes with WiFi and plugs.”

Matcha is her ritual. It delivers calm, sustained energy thanks to caffeine (sans the jitters) paired with L-theanine. It’s rich in antioxidants like EGCG, supports focus, and fits perfectly into her wellness era.

And if you’re serious about it? You go ceremonial grade! Younger tea leaves, smoother flavor, naturally sweeter finish, and that vibrant green color that screams quality. Head on over to The Matcha Tokyo or Tsujiri for your matcha latte fix. Or if you’re the type to do it at home, premium grade matcha, like Republic Of Tea Umatcha, is also available at Healthy Options.

At SM, café options make it easy to sip and stay productive. Between specialty tea spots and cozy corners, plus access to a nearby wellness clinic in the mall, self-care becomes efficient. It’s one of the best ways to enjoy things to do in Manila—or anywhere in the Philippines, really—indoors without feeling unproductive.

Ms. Zodiac Rising
She checks her horoscope before replying to texts. Mercury retrograde? She already felt it.


(L-R) Hailey Sequin Dress from K & Company; Pack of 3 Crystal Star Necklace from Zara

Her closet reflects the cosmos: a sequin dress from K & Company that catches light like a constellation, layered crystal star necklaces from ZARA, star-patterned pajamas from H&M for full moon journaling nights.


(L-R) Star-patterned pyjamas from H&M; Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7

And then there’s the tech. A sleek foldable like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 feels straight out of a sci-fi universe—compact, powerful, and perfect for documenting moonlit selfies.

SM makes it easy to complete the vibe. From electronic stores to gadgets accessories stores, you can browse the latest tech and figure out where to find gadget deals without hopping across the city.

Here’s what makes it different: SM isn’t just rows of stores. It’s one of the most family-friendly malls in the Philippines, with thoughtful features like public breastfeeding rooms in malls, accessible facilities, and even pet-friendly facilities. 

Need to run errands? Some locations house DFA passport renewal satellite offices, along with other government services in malls. Want to maximize your budget? Tap into SM Advantage Card benefits and learn how to earn SMAC points while scoring sale promos.

From browsing the latest mall events to planning the perfect date in SM, or simply figuring out where to go this weekend, everything is in one place: shopping, food, entertainment, and everyday essentials.

So whether you’re hauling life in a tote, smashing serves after work, whisking ceremonial matcha, or dressing according to your rising sign, your era has a home base.

The real question is: which girlie are you today?
