certainly not

sent a generous gift to someone noontime...  i told the recipient it's not from me but from someone who doesn't want to be named...

recipient:  'doesn't want to be named???'

me:  'yes...  a friend of mine...'

recipient, in a very confident tone:  'ah...  i already have someone in mind!'

huh?!  you think you know but you don't...  you'll never guess in a million years...  \m/

dear is relative

dad tells us there's no need to cook as he has already bought food:  dish this, this, this...  dessert that, that, that...

me to my aunt:  'i'm waiting for the punchline, auntie...'

aunt:  'what punchline?'

me:  'the price...'

true enough, at the end of the enumeration, he mentioned the price...

we burst out laughing...

mom:  'why do you have to include the price?'

dad:  'so you'll know it's expensive...'

aunt chuckles:  'it's not...  actually, it's cheap...'

male and female

in the province this morning, our tricycle driver's name was 'josephine.'  he's a male (and of course, 'she' is a female, hehe...).

according to him, during the elections, he was being questioned because he was male.

and then when he was getting married, he was being questioned because his name was female.

gender stereotypes...  : }

i'm full

my mom comes home...  usually she brings all sorts of food:  pizza, pastries, sandwich, etc...

i see her unpacking beside the dining table...

i excitedly ask:  'what do you have, mom?'

right at that moment she was pulling out a bottle...

me:  'soy sauce?!'

mom:  'i passed by the grocery...'

; p

no bills

at the supermarket, i got my aunt ice cream bars i've been asking her to try...

aunt:  'put those here, i'll pay...'

me:  'oh, don't...  i'm giving these to you so i should be the one to pay...'

aunt:  'you don't have money, right?'

me:  'wahaha...  sounds pathetic...  i do bring my cards, auntie...'

but yup, i don't bring cash...  : }
