worth the risk

i ordered a clay pot during an online sale and was surprised that it was being shipped from a province 52 km away from my place.

unlike my wont, for this one i did not check the origin nor read the description.  i just went by the photo, the measurements (diameter 13 cm; height 5 cm.) and, of course, the price (just P25 with free shipping!).

now i read the description and it says:

"Buyer’s Risk: These are fragile items. Buy ONLY IF you are WILLING TO TAKE THE RISK.

...

Breakage may occur...

We strictly enforce NO RETURN, NO REFUND Policy."

wahaha...  normally scary...  but for P25?

i ain't afraid of no ghost 🤷

done that

eating pizza while on videocall...  pizza box visible onscreen...

cousin, as i was biting into the last slice:  'you're such a big pizza eater...'

i just shrugged my shoulders and smiled...

cousin:  'how many slices were those?  4?  5?'

me:  'haha...  3!  they're just leftovers from yesterday...'

cousin:  'a...  i thought you're about to finish 5...'

uhm, i did eat 5 slices yesterday 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🤭

double whammy

i ordered pizza and pasta for delivery today and was suprised that in less than 10 minutes, the restaurant already booked a rider.

i ordered from restaurants under the same group the other day and the day before that and both times the restaurants did not book a rider that soon.

i thought the swiftness gives me reason to
either
worry about the quality of the food
or
be concerned about the waiting time of the rider.

i ordered at 1:42 p.m.
my food was delivered at 2:26 p.m.
distance from the restaurant to my place is 3.4 km.

when i partook of my order, i realized it's not either-or.  it's both. 🤦‍♀️

hello, hello

i was at the garbage area when i saw someone come out of my mom's gate.  i greeted him then continued trying to make the meal box i was supposed to throw fit in the bag.

a few minutes later, i received a text message from the guy apologizing for whatever it is he has done to me.

huh?!
i just greeted him!
what happened?!

it turns out he did not notice and thought i snubbed him.  he said it made him sad.

oh!  so that explains the strange look he had when i passed near him!  i didn't say a word anymore because i already greeted him.  it would be weird if i again say hi when i have just said hi.

oh, well, all's well.

sub

yesterday, i ordered a sandwich from this upscale restaurant because the menu says it has jamón ibérico.  when i ate it, however, the ham was so flat and bland!

i called them to ask whether it was really iberian ham they put in the sandwich.

after checking with the kitchen, they told me it was jamón serrano because their supplier ran out of ibérico.

i said i ordered precisely because the ham was ibérico!

to sort of make amends, today they sent me empanada ->  with foie gras.
