What-a-day!

It's December 24 and I needed a manicure and pedicure.

I decided to brave the sea of people at SM Bacoor. I went to 3 different salons and they all said I had to wait for an hour before they can accommodate me...HELLO!?! One hour...no way man! It's a good thing I saw this aromatherapy salon and there were a few people inside.

The receptionist was very accommodating and managed to convince me to get a manicure, pedicure, foot spa treatment and a foot & leg massage. (galing mag sales talk) It was worth it! They have this big Lazy-Boy type chairs and they give you two fluffy pillows. Sarap! I could stay there the whole afternoon.

It was 5 pm when I left the salon.

I stopped by SM Department store to buy a table for my room. Nothing fancy. Just a square monobloc beige table.

I was suppose to meet my older sister in SM but I forgot to bring my phone so I didn't know how I was going to bring the table home. Riding a jeepney with a 30 x 30 inch table is not easy so I decided to just ride a taxi going home.

After passing through a maze of people on the ground floor of SM, the attendant and I arrived at the taxi lane.


I told the driver my address (2-3 kilometers away from SM). He nodded, moved closer to me and said "Ma'am minimum po namin 300 Php."

THREE HUNDRED PESOS! WHAAAAAT!?!

You have got to be kidding me! With three hundred bucks I could have rented a coaster going to my house!

After recovering from my shock, I immediately told the driver "Bawal yan ah!" He just kept smiling and shrugging his shoulders. Argggggh! AZAR! I would have wanted to give him a piece of my mind but I told myself that it's Christmas...I'll just hunt him down after tomorrow. *snicker*snicker *

So how did I go home?



I rode a jeepney carrying my 30 x 30 inch beige monobloc table, only to find out that my older was in SM waiting for me to text her.

what a day...
