friend: 'who's going with you?'
me: 'no one... just me...'
friend: 'you'll be alone?!'
me: 'yes... this is my fifth time already...'
friend: 'where is that?'
me: 'almeria... plane to tacloban then 4 hours by land to get to the place...'
friend: 'i remember you've mentioned that to me before...'
me: 'yup... i go there once a year... this is my fifth now...'
friend: 'why do you go there?'
me: 'to visit my <second mom>... she was the one who took care of us since i was a baby... she retired in 2009 and i've been visiting her since...'
friend: 'and how did you go the first time?'
me: 'i was also by myself... i just asked around... remember when we were at <place> and i was telling you i can manage? i was just thinking i lived alone for 4 years... i went to almeria by myself and i didn't even know the place... i can handle manila... but of course i am thankful you accompanied me...'
just because i can go it alone does not mean i want to go it alone. it's definitely nicer to have someone with you. i'm no damsel in distress but i still want my knight... :")
a half-price treat wholeheartedly given
at starbucks for the repeat of their 'frappuccino treat for two' promo...
me: 'ei... there's no queue...'
cashier: 'later, ma'am... you were just first...'
me: 'oh... it's not obvious i'm excited, hehe...'
promo's from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. my receipt timestamp's 2:06 p.m. hey, i missed the first one! i was at the service station that time having my friend's car oil-changed. the ones i informed, even my friend whose car i was attending to that time, were able to avail themselves of the promo.
i'm not a coffee drinker actually. but if it's buy-one-get-one then i get excited, haha. i bought for my mom. ain't i sweet? and cheap... ;")

save and be saved
an asiana flight from seoul crash-landed at the san francisco international airport yesterday.
i was struck by this post from author and facebook COO sheryl sandberg saying she and her family were originally supposed to take said flight but switched to united so they could use miles for her family's tickets.
not to make light of the situation but i was just thinking, in this instance, you did not just save on the (mileage) freebie, the freebie saved you.
