i like shopping online:
- no traffic...
- no parking...
- no mall hours...
- no waiting while sales personnel check whether your size or preferred color is available...
- no queueing to pay...
- you see so much more in a shorter span of time.
downside:
- there's a waiting period between order and delivery (compensated for by the joy i get when the package finally arrives : D )...
- you cannot try on stuff... they may not fit well... what looks good in pics may not necessarily look good on you...
- shoes are tricky... sizes are not standard across brands...
i order this size -> it's small -> i have it replaced with the next bigger size...
succeeding order, i get the bigger size -> it's too big -> i have it replaced with a smaller size...
i keep on bouncing between these two sizes... hit and miss... hit and miss...
- you cannot check the material... one time, for reasons i don't know, chiffon entered my mind... when my order arrived, i was surprised...
me: 'is this chiffon???'
mom: 'yes...'
me: 'i was thinking it's smooth...'
then it dawned on me: i actually wanted silk! : }
- and then now i was just checking out dresses... what the...?! there was this Large size dress and the bustline is just the size of my waistline! is it too small? or am i too big???
ugh! let's close that browser and switch to youtube...

my man
guy asks me what my ideal man is...
me: 'i want someone who would be on my side... you know 'rated K'? korina sanchez... i like their tagline... 'kaibigan' [friend]... what's the other one? i can't recall right now... 'kakampi' [ally]... i want someone like that...
and it's important to me that he would at least treat me as well as he treats others... if you're going to cancel me for everything and for everyone then i'm going to cancel you out of my life... is that unreasonable?'
guy: 'no...'
me: 'haha... good... i've long realized that there are two kinds of spouses... those who reserve their best treatment for their spouse because you're the spouse, you're supposed to be special... and there are those who reserve the worst treatment for their spouse because you're the spouse, you'd understand... if you're the latter type then you're not the guy for me...'

wake up
guy tells me his girlfriend stresses him out... he says instead of making him happy, she too very often makes him mad.
me: 'you know, you should examine what makes you mad... is it something within her control? you shouldn't get mad at people for things that are beyond their control... for example, it rains then there's heavy traffic and it irks you... don't blame it on her... it's not her fault it rained... now if it's something she willfully did or failed to do, then ok, get mad at her.
go over the things that made you mad... this one she could have done but did not do or did but should not have. okay, that's minus one point. this one there was nothing she could have done to avoid, don't count it against her.'
then guy tells me he broke up with his previous girlfriend because she told him she dreamt he had someone else.
me: 'what?! you broke up with a girl because of a dream?! she has no control over what she dreams about, hello!'
guy: 'but it wasn't true!'
me: 'precisely! it's just a dream... it doesn't necessarily mean it's true!'
guy: 'i was so busy... i was studying... i was working so hard... i was barely getting any sleep and then that's what she thinks about?!'
me: 'you, can you control your dreams? maybe exceptional people can but normally no... you dream what you dream... that's it! you don't end a relationship because your girlfriend dreamed about this or that!'
nightmare boyfriend... gah!

aunt not feeling well so i ran some errands for her...
aunt: 'we were able to do everything that needed to be done today... well, except the one for the dentist... my dentist wants to have a panoramic picture of my teeth...'
me: 'hehe... i couldn't have pics of my teeth taken on your behalf, auntie...'
