you get what you ask for

my cousin and i are both big fans of this countdown sale in this online mall.  the price of certain items drops by 1% per hour.

last saturday, she told me she fell asleep while waiting for the price of this item to drop a little more and when she woke up, the item was gone!  as in, none of the usual 'Sold Out' label, the item simply disappeared and could not be searched anymore.

she said she was so downhearted she called customer service asking what happened.

she was told they received an e-mail from the supplier saying there was a small crack in the item so they're pulling it out.

my cousin told them to tell the supplier she's willing to buy the item even with the crack.

me:  'aw!  don't say that!  'the secret'!  (rhonda byrne)

me, there's this item that i like but i'm not buying it because it's just good for one...  i don't wanna send a message to the universe that i wanna be alone...  i buy items good for sharing so the universe will know i like company...

the items that i buy for <remote province> are the best brands...  i don't bring trash there...  i don't want to send a message to the universe that they deserve less...  they deserve the best...'

that was morning...

afternoon, i received a message from my cousin...  she says two of the items she ordered have arrived  ->  one was really, really good; the other, cracked!

ahahaha...  'the secret'!  she announced morning that she was willing to purchase an item even if it's cracked.  well, the universe heard and sent her a cracked item just a few hours later...  ; p


this morning i was walking and i suddenly craved ice cream...  i had bills more than enough to pay for the ice cream but coins five pesos short of the price...  now i almost always find coins on the street when i pass that way...  i verbalized, 'i hope there's five...' (so i could pay with just coins leaving my bills intact)

guess what, just a few steps forward and i saw five centavos!  nyahaha!!!  i asked for five and i got five...  it should have been five pesos though instead of five centavos...  i wasn't very clear so there was some confusion in the delivery of the order...  ; p

next time be specific...  ; )
