I have so many things I’d like to write about but my mind wouldn’t cooperate. After few clicks on my keyboard my stream of thought goes astray. I don’t know if I’m just being upset of what happened yesterday when my money [separate post on that] just went wherever courtesy of BPI ATM.
Oh well, I guess I’ll just be thankful that the incident made my new H to join me and bear with my whims and whoes.
Strolling through a tiangge style of booths at a mall, I spotted an item that caught my fancy. Asking for the price, I was informed that it was the familiar 3 for 100, i.e., get 3 of the items for the price of Php 100. Then I posed the usual follow up question, “Magkano ‘pag isa [How much is it if I just buy one]?”
Expecting it to be more than Php 33.33, the price per item if one divides 100 by 3, I was taken aback when she said it was Php 30/each. Thinking she just made a mistake, I repeated my question, which garnered the same response.
Seeing my disbelief, she turned to her companion to confirm the Php 30/item price, which her co-worker did.
I attempted to explain, but, sensing their non-comprehension, I gave up.
As we were walking away, H asked me whether I would have bought the item.
I replied, “Well, if I had bought 3, I would have insisted on the Php 30/item price.”
He smiled, held my hand and whispered “I Love You”. Sarap madebit-an ng atm card! [joke lang]
This Blog is an outlet for the random thoughts of an amateur opinionator.
What's an opinionator?
An opinionator is somebody who has power without responsibility, and the ability to spout off on any subject without worrying too much about the consequences of what comes out of the mouth. All you need is an opinion and the opportunity to voice it.
TV is full of professional opinionators. The internet gives the amateur his chance.
