full circle

friend could not go online and requested my assistance in accessing her account...

me:  'what's the password?'

friend:  '<password>...'

i enter her supposed password...  ooops...

me:  'i can't get in...'

friend:  'try <password2>...'

i enter the second password...

me:  'that's not it...  what?'

friend:  'actually, i don't remember...'

me:  'nyeh!  let's recover your account...  we'll change the password...  what password do you want?'

friend:  '<password3>...'

me:  'maybe that's your password...  let's try it first...'

ta-daaan!!!  i got in!

uhm...  time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time...  ; p

beyond labels

at a gift shop...

me:  'ei, rikkaluma!  i've been seeing this online!'

saleslady:  'rilakkuma, ma'am...'

me:  'ooops...  hehe...  sorry...'

me:  'what is rilakkuma?  is it a bear, a bird, what?'

saleslady:  'rilakkuma is a bear, ma'am...'

me, pointing to an item labeled rilakkuma:  'how come this one has wings?'

saleslady:  'that's not rilakkuma, ma'am...  it's the brown that's rilakkuma...  the white is korilakkuma...  that bird is kiiroitori...'

me:  'aw!  sorry...  thanks for the info...'

anyway, a bird is a bird even if it's labeled a bear...  a good person is a good person even if others label him bad...  : )

happy face

talking about my dad's non-smiling pics...  as in, you have group shots and everyone's smiling except him...

dad:  'there's nothing funny, why should i laugh?'

mom quickly replied:  'we do!  even when there's nothing funny we smile...'

the camera is reason enough to smile...  actually, you don't need a reason to smile...  : )

let's wait awhile

10:07 a.m. i received SMS from my mom telling me the cable guys have called and will be coming over 'in a while.'  as agreed upon the previous night therefore, i went to my parents' house to be the one present when the guys arrive as my parents have to go someplace.

11:00 a.m.
12:00 noon
1:00 p.m.
2:00 p.m.
3:00 p.m.
4:00 p.m.

no cable guys...

i called my sister-in-law and asked whether she's going out.

she said not anymore.

i requested her to man my parents' house while i dash someplace near as the cable guys just might come or call.

so i was away for half an hour and in that half hour, that is when the guys arrived!

define 'in a while'...  : }

cookie monster

aunt tells me the conti's almondine cookies i said were good were indeed good...

me:  'oh!  so i told you?'

aunt:  'you didn't really tell me...  you posted in facebook...  you said you can finish it in one sitting...'

me:  'oh...  facebook...  haha...  yeah...  i can finish one canister in one sitting...'

aunt:  'maybe if you're hungry you really could...'

me:  'uhm...  even if i'm not hungry i could...'
