Burnt

Remember this prompt, when your home was on fire and you got to save five items? That means you left a lot of stuff behind. What are the things you wish you could have taken, but had to leave behind?

Jan 31st: DIY Laundry

First time to wash my clothes in a DIY laundry shop and first time to use a front loader. Paid 69 pesos for 2 tokens, plus a scoop of detergent and fabric conditioner. The price was the same amount I pay if I had it picked up by my usual laundry service provider. I would have saved more had I known that minimum wash can be as heavy as 8 kilos and I can bring my own laundry supplies. Next time, I know! Took me less than an hour wash and dry my clothes. I wouldn’t mind washing my own clothes if it’s this easy!

Jan 30th: Why?

You had one job

WHY?

Jan 29th: Sweet Treats

I bought chocolates to surprise my team for their great performance, but I was the one who got surprised.

I ate one already 😀

ICK: A True Story

I was back from a two-week vacation, preparing for my first day back to work.
I put my boots on and grabbed my bag.

I stepped back.
I thought I stepped on my cat’s tail.
When I checked, they’re no where near me.

I continued walking.
What was that?

Jan 28th: Got the item I ordered online. Ugh! Reject!

I ordered the item online because it was on sale. I saw it at 50% off and thought it was a good deal. I was expecting a week before the delivery. The package arrived in just two days. I was surprised! That was fast!

I opened the box. There was no bubble wrap or styro to protect the the item. On the second thought, that kind of item is not fragile. How it was wrapped doesn’t matter. When I pulled it out of the box, I felt that it wasn’t made of a high-quality material.  Well, it was cheap, what can I expect? I immediately noticed that it was broken on the side. I can use it, I just need to be careful. I am not that heavy, it can hold me. However, this isn’t the first time. It was a disappointment.

Jan 27th: Adventure Time

Can’t find the toy I wanted as my photography subject for next month at the toy store. Saw Jake and Finn sets on sale and bought them. I have so many ideas in mind how I can play with them and my camera. Adventure Time!
