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...'
