gone too soon

saleslady offering me a P1,600 bar of soap...

me:  'aw, thanks...  the organic soaps i buy cost so much cheaper...'

saleslady:  'but this is really good, ma'am...'

me:  'yeah, i've tried it...  no, i didn't buy...  my sister bought it for me...  i won't buy such an expensive soap myself, hehe...'

saleslady:  'but this one will already last you a year, ma'am...'

me:  'one year?!  how come mine lasted just weeks?!  not even a month!'

saleslady:  'maybe you were soaking it?'

me:  'no...  but i do take hour-long showers...'

saleslady:  'that long?  even then...  you're supposed to use this just for the face...'

me:  'nyeh!  i used it all over...  for both face and body!'

waaahhh...  ignorant user...  wasted resources...  :"O

love is in the air

checking out beddings...  i only need a queen but the designs i liked kept on turning out to be for kings...

me:  'actually, i want a king bed, california king, but there's no more space in my room...'

crossing over to another store, rihanna's song played in the airwaves...

'♩ ♪  in this california king bed
we're ten thousand miles apart  ♫ ♬'

me to companion:  'wow!  i was just telling you about california king and then we hear that song?!  telepathy!'

deciding on drinks at a food court...  i saw a 'goto king' outlet...

me:  'what do they have at goto king?'

companion:  'goto!'

me:  'not king?'

three kings all in a day...  does that mean valentine is just around the corner?  <3 <3

through the years

i have this denim dress that i wear A LOT...  it's long and loose and comfortable and it has pockets which is perfect given that i don't like to carry a bag around...

so my phone rings and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah...

then the caller tells me that she just might show up where i'm going...

caller:  'maybe you'd be wearing your denim dress again...'

[ #uniform  ;"p ]

me:  'haha...  i dunno whether you saw the throwback pic i just posted...  the one driving...'

caller:  'the 2003?'

me:  'yes!  i posted that because i was just wearing the same dress and then i saw that pic and i was surprised the denim was so dark...  i've forgotten it used to be dark blue!  it's so light now!'

old clothes never dye...  let them fade away...  ; )

a long while

i called this office...  i was told the one i was looking for just went out...

me:  'awww...  do you have other phones there?'

OJT:  'none, ma'am...'

me:  'there's only one phone in your office?'

OJT:  'yes, ma'am...'

me:  'in the whole ground floor, are there other phones?'

OJT:  'none, ma'am...  why?  have you been calling awhile?'

me:  'i've been calling for weeks...  the line is always busy...'

actually, i was already wondering whether the phone was out of order or, uhm, even hung...  one time i was there i noticed the phone was not properly put down after a call...

anyway, good news...  just as i said i'd rather wait on the line lest i be unable to connect again, i was told the one i was calling just came in...  whew...

be careful

the doctor gave my mom a stress ball that looked to me like a heart but i wasn't sure...

me:  'is that a heart, doc?'

doctor:  'yes...'

me:  'she has stress balls...  but they're round...'

doctor to my mom:  'so you have stress balls...  let me have that back...'

mom:  'you've given it to me...  you're not supposed to take it back...'

me:  'that's a heart, mom...  hearts can be taken back...'

you bruise it, you lose it...
