what do i say?

i ordered stuff from this online shop...  then as part of their feedback mechanism i got e-mails with the following subject lines:

"Hey Maria Cynthia, what do you think of Papaya Goat's Milk Soap?"

"Hey Maria Cynthia, what do you think of Lightening Triple Rice Soap?"

"Hey Maria Cynthia, what do you think of Coffee & Seaweed Soap?"

"Hey Maria Cynthia, what do you think of Honey Bar?"

"Hey Maria Cynthia, what do you think of White Peppermint Loofah Soap?"

and then these, too:

"Hey Maria Cynthia, what do you think of <shop> Gift Card (P100)?"

"Hey Maria Cynthia, what do you think of <shop> Gift Card (P1,000)?"

hehe...

the organic soaps are good...  the gift cards look pale though...  ; )

second thought

parents had late afternoon snacks...  dinnertime, dad walked by the dining area and saw my mom...

dad:  'i thought you said you were not going to eat anymore...'

mom:  'i thought so, too...'

; )

man vs. machine

me:  'my camera's not working so i'm using my mom's...  last christmas i just used my sister's phone...'

mom's friend:  'but your mom's camera takes too long to click...'

me:  'hehe...  no...  it was just set on video when you went out...  i just did screencaps so you'd have pics...  you had a lot of videos and i could hear you wondering why the camera won't click...'

; p

creature of habit

brother and i were at a bike shop...  he bought a bike...  then he asks me:  'did you bring your license?'

me:  'yes...'

brother:  'just be the one to drive home...'

me:  'you're going to bike home?'
(he bikes all over...  across cities...  through towns...  to far away provinces...)

brother:  'yes...'

me:  'aw!  i'm not used to driving that car!  i find it too big...'
(it's a minivan...  mine's a compact...)

we ended up going home with him still as driver and me still as passenger...

on this earth, we leave as we came...  ; )

catalyst

passed a long line of parallel-parked cars...

me:  'how come all these cars go beyond the lines?'

brother:  'all you need is one car to park the wrong way and the succeeding cars would have to park outside the line as well...'

well, if it were me i'd skip one slot to minimize the number of wrongly-parked cars...  but yeah, that option may not always be available...

oftentimes you have to do so much more in order to curb wrong...
