deal hunter

cousins comparing shoes bought at this and that store...

i butted in and showed mine:  'here...  zalora...  20% off plus free shipping...'

it's back to regular price now...  and shipping charge not anymore waived...

i got a good deal...  i am a happy gal...  : )

fast

at the gift wrapping counter, i saw my batchmate's  4-year-old son...  sooo cute...  : )
and very talkative...  : O

he offered me his gum...  when i declined saying i don't like gum, he asked whether i liked candy...

when i said no, he asked what i liked...

i said chocs with nuts...

he asked whether it's the round one...

i didn't get it initially but soon enough realized he was talking about ferrero rocher...

he asked whether i like rice...  he asked about what i eat...

he asked whether i knew his siblings...  he asked where i met them...

he asked whether i have a car...

he asked whether i drove it myself...

he asked whether i wear shoes when i drive...  he asked what kind of soles they have...

he asked what gifts i bought...  he asked to whom i'm giving them...

and, ta-daaan...  he asked why my belt is front-side back...

me:  'so my tummy won't look big...  if the buckle's in front it will bulge so i like to put it at the back...'

the little boy asked:  'where's your tummy?'

and before i could even answer, he pulled my shirt up exposing my belly!

whoa!  good thing the shirt didn't go all the way up...  good thing there were only females nearby...

girls watch out when this boy grows up...  ; p

who's looking at you?

i ordered a number of photobooks.  i've so far received seven but the one i ordered earliest is not among them.

i informed the merchant.  their reply?

"We believe that your book has been lost in transit. We will proceed with printing a replacement copy and will have it shipped via DHL express."

aw!  where could that photobook be now?  : }

outdone

i was at a department store yesterday when i saw a heart-decorated mug...  my valentine-born cousin immediately came to mind...  i bought the mug and thought i'd put some chocs in it, wrap it in plastic, put a nice ribbon then give to my cousin, not as a christmas present but just because  (the mug was priced so much lower than my christmas budget for her, hehe)...

guess what...  this morning i went to my parents' place and my sister told me i have ferrerro...  and there it was, a gold ferrero bag with a box of ferrero golden gallery inside, a ferrero shirt and a box of lindor chocs  ->  from my cousin!!!  whoa!!!  i haven't even given her the mug and there already was a much, much nicer reciprocal!

i felt so overwhelmed by the generosity of the Lord...  i was just about to do some little thing and He surprises me ahead with something so much bigger...

i felt so safe...  i felt so secure...  i felt so thankful...

whichever comes first

at my parents' house...  i heard carollers...

i went out with money and saw them facing the neighbor's gate...

they saw me and immediately turned around continuing their song facing my parents' house...  ; )

it's now or never

friend buying me a pricey gift...

me:  'just buy it in may...  they'll have a sale in may, 20%...  i'm not in a hurry anyway...'

friend:  'i might not have money anymore in may...'

nyahaha...  toinks!!!  ; p

ambience

friend:  'how was <pricey place>?'

me:  'it was ok...  we had <dish>...  remember the one we had when we were at <affordable place>?'

friend:  'how's the taste?  was the one we had as good as the one at <pricey place>?'

me:  'haha...  the tastes are close, actually...  it's only the prices that are way different...'
