me:  'you have visa?'

reply:  'passport only...'

uhm...  the topic was online shopping...  ; )

good and bad

at a stoplight...  street child with soap and squeegee started cleaning my windows...  i handed him money...  well, what do you know, he didn't finish anymore, wahaha...

actually, i have mixed feelings about this:

on one hand, i really appreciate the fact that they're working for the money and not just asking for dole outs.

on the other, these are children so they should be playing, not working especially on busy roads which could be very risky.

last but not the least

balikbayan cousin asking about Cheesecake, etc. which she has seen in my facebook pics.  i told her the Tomas Morato branch i used to frequent has closed but i gave her a list of other branches...

initially i included only
Eastwood Citywalk 1
Podium
Glorietta 4
ACCRA Tower 1, 2nd Ave. cor. 20th St., Bonifacio Global City
Mall of Asia (MOA)

then last minute i decided to add
Greenhills Shopping Center.

her reply:  'we're at greenhills now, thanks for the info...'

imagine!!!  : D

FIFO

bumped into a former colleague...  picture-picture...

colleague:  'tag me, ok...'

me:  'sure...  but then i might upload this january yet...  it's already december, i'm still uploading october...  i want them chronological...'

and i try not to upload in bulk, at least to my own account...

there's reason to smile

family gathering this afternoon...  as is our wont, picture, picture...  ; )

i told my nephew beside me:  'y'know when you were at the hospital, i refrained from uploading (my happy) pics...  then when i logged in, was i surprised to see a pic of your sisters smiling-so-wide in instagram...'

initially i was taken aback...  shortly after i felt kinda relieved...  they were watching over their brother and they posted such a happy pic...  that signaled to me that things couldn't be that bad...  : )
