the stamp they put near my wrist at the entrance to the Gift Gate Big Sale last saturday still hasn't been totally removed... i've showered... i've washed and rubbed vigorously, several times, it still won't be erased...
not their ink, i suppose... my best friend's, she was able to remove right away just by washing...
maybe my soap? or my skin? hmmm... i could be good tattoo material, huh... i've long wanted to have a ring tattoed on my finger actually... i'm too scared of the process though... : }
what do i know?!
friend tells me about this investment scheme he has been convinced to try... then he goes: 'i want you to check out the site... if you tell me it's not good i'm going to pull out my money...'
ooops... financial adviser?! : }

i texted an aunt around noon yesterday. well, her reply came in past midnight, 12 hours late... : }
the other day it was my sister's reply that i received two hours late.
my aunt has globe; my sister has smart; i have sun.
i was just thinking, it took the globe 12 hours to reach the sun. but if you're smart, it takes only two hours... ; p

why UP is not in the finals
on the phone yesterday...
me: 'congratulations... you won...'
caller: 'what?'
me: '76-70... UAAP...'
ateneo vs. UP... the guy is from ateneo; i'm from UP... he texted me the other day when ateneo was up over UP by 4 in the 4th quarter...
caller: 'oh...'
me: 'i said i hope you win, right? you were feeling down and i was thinking if you win you'd be happy...'
caller: 'well, happy... but it's not the same as before... before it was really...'
me: 'well, it's not ateneo - la salle... but at least you won... imagine if you're feeling down and then your team lost, all the more that you'd feel down... you won so at least you were happy somehow...'
i want you to be happy, guy... ♥
and when you're blue, every single joy counts... : )
as for my team losing, i just console myself with this Q&A...
Q: 'how come UP is not in the (UAAP) finals?'
A: 'because UP is smart so it's exempted from the finals...'

not meant to be
my phone was low batt before i went to bed last night. i thought of charging it but decided i'd just do it first thing in the morning.
what do you know, 1:05 a.m. and my phone rang. i wasn't able to take the call because the battery went empty.
lessons:
1. charge your phone before going to sleep
2. don't call at 1:00 a.m.
choose one or the other or both... ; p
