causation

dissuading a friend from going on a long (bike) ride alone.  i was urging him to find a buddy / join a group.

he said his buddy cannot join him anymore because of a cough.

he elaborated:
the buddy
was biking along the highway;
suddenly experienced intense coughing;
blinked;
wasn't able to brake;
didn't see the pothole;
hit the pothole;
lost control;
reached the sidewalk.

on the sidewalk, there were students waiting for the bus.
the buddy almost hit the group.
the students broke into screams.
good thing the brake worked.

the buddy fell.
kinda grave
(he had no helmet).
good thing the traffic group was present.
they helped him.
he had no injuries but the bike was damaged.
he had to walk home.
he even borrowed bus money from a traffic enforcer.

my friend said
the bike fit into the bus.
[i was like,
of course!  duh!]

anyway, he said the buddy cannot join him anymore because the bike was damaged.

to sum up,
he said the bike was damaged because the buddy coughed.

huh?!

ahahahahaha...  long story made short...  whatta jump! 🦋🦘🤣

good. enough.

i saw in foodpanda that seattle's best was at 40% off.  hmmm...  i am not a coffee drinker but i love discounts.  therefore...  hahaha

i was actually craving chocolates earlier.
(i couldn't go out to buy, however, as i am on quarantine having been exposed to someone COVID-positive.
->  i was chiding a neighbor for being out when they should be on quarantine because someone at their house is COVID-positive.
guess what, when results of her swab test came out, she, too, was positive, wah!  suddenly i myself had to go on quarantine!)

i checked the menu thinking maybe i could order hot chocolate.  then i saw that they had both almond and hazelnut latte.  i love my chocolates nutty!  instead of hot choco therefore, i ordered the lattes.

they were still very hot when they were delivered.

so there i was half-heartedly looking at my beverage and somehow thinking i should have ordered chocolates instead.  but nah, grocery delivery costs so much more than food delivery.  yup, coffee is good enough.

boom!!!
it suddenly rained!  heavily!

ei!  hot coffee on a rainy morning!  sehr gut! 🌧️☕😊

the universe saw me making do
and made my choice worthwhile.

incompatible

and so i thought of recording my shopee shake game.
you shake your phone and coins come cascading.
you can win up to 380,000 coins.
(i won 0.38. 😂)

when the game ended, i tried to view the recording.  ta-daaannn!!!
it was truncated!

eh?!

uhm, i forgot the recorder is set to stop when i shake my phone.  🤦‍♀️🤣

candy crush

yesterday, i passed level 1000 in candy crush saga. 
(right now it has around 8,000 levels.)
the game was released in 2012 yet;
i only started playing in august 2020, haha.
(i don't really play games.
last one was MyMiniLife in 2008-2009.
before that, pac-man and driving games plus some Game & Watch for a few months in the 1980s.)

my only target was to reach 1,000.  having hit that, i've uninstalled the game.
(i do get to stay in popsicle planet.
before that i was in
gummy, choco, pudding and salty planets.)

i'd like to thank my Fantastic Five teammates and those who sent me lives even if i did not request.  sorry i wasn't able to reciprocate.  i dunno how to send lives without being asked, wah!

'twas short but sweet...  tasty...  delicious...  divine...
sugar crush! yay! 🍬😊

escalation

i was in bed watching youtube videos at around 5:30 p.m. today when i heard an angry voice coming from outside.

i didn't mind it at first.  but then it was getting louder and louder and angrier and angrier so i took a peek.

all along i was thinking the woman was complaining about some misbehaving adult.  guess what, it turns out she was ranting about her ward, a youngster!

there on the alley was the boy and to his left was a full-grown man whom she was pressing to reprimand the boy!

whaaat?!

is that how you discipline children these days, you call the barangay?!

i understand Bantay Bata.
this reverse case, however, i find really sad 😢
->  and disturbing 😟
