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]
