delayed gratification

i had ice cream at 9 p.m.  i usually have it earlier, either morning or afternoon, but there's an additional P50 discount if you order between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. so i postponed.

(yes, i'm willing to wait.  i'd pass the marshmallow test with no sweat 🤣)

i buy it at the supermarket for P510.
i could have gotten it online earlier today at a discounted price of P414.93.
since i waited, i was able to get it for P373.93, inclusive of delivery fee. 😊

i am delighted.  i scream 🍨😋😁

see for yourself

the other week, my sister wanted to order angus steakhouse pizza but i dissuaded her.

me:  'i've tried it.  it's not good.'

she therefore settled for something else.

guess what, today, they sent me slices of angus steakhouse pizza!

ahahaha...  they proceeded to buy!

ok...

sometimes you have to satisfy your curiosity with personal experience.

it depends

i heard someone calling my name...  i thought i was just dreaming so i didn't get up...  it persisted...  aw, for real!

i opened the door.
ta-daaannn!!!
champorado! 😋

'you're still asleep?  oh, sorry...'

hahaha...  since it's champorado, no apologies needed...  something else, i still dunno...

case-by-case basis 😉

meals and deals

friend:  'what do you usually order from foodpanda?'

me:  'whatever's on promo for the day.'

discounts dictate my meal. 🤦‍♀️🤭🤣

precedence

ordering meals through a food delivery app.

a neighbor wanted two orders of bopis and two orders of lechon paksiw.  my mom wanted one order each of the same.

click-click-click.
done.

my phone rings.
it's the store.  they have only two orders of bopis left.

i text the neighbor.  i apologize saying i know she notified me about bopis first but then there's only two left so she'll have to forgo one in favor of my octogenarian mom.

she readily agreed.

age before beauty. 😊
