They're here! They're here!

I received a notice yesterday afternoon that i have a package waiting for me at the Post Office.

I had a feeling that it had something to do with the boots i won from Chictopia. It was the only package i was expecting. I knew it just had to be it.

 I purposely dressed drab in a baggy shirt and a pair of leggings (there's a reason behind that) hurriedly went to the Post Office today with my mom. Now, the thing with Post Offices is that we all have to pay the taxes, plus other shit i don't remember. So i knew i had to pay for something. When we got there, a man was in line before me. I noticed the old lady behind the counter who seemed like she didn't like her  job (maybe because she was underpaid, or she's stuck in a crappy office, or maybe she just had a bad day...for 12 years. ) 

She was rude. She threw the paper and pen for the man to sign. I took a deep breath and waited in line. Then came my turn. I smiled my sweetest smile at this old lady and handed her my PO notice. She smiled back and said i had a pretty tan. Smiled quickly turned into a frown when this girl behind me cut in and gave her PO notice. Old lady was back to her rude self again. Boy, that was short.

The old lady left, and came back with my package. It was a huge box. She opened it, and out came my boots! My lovely boots, in their own bags. Old lady called in the Customs lady to inspect the items and check how much it would cost me for the taxes, etc. So here comes my reason as to why i dressed drab today. Actually, it was more of a strategy. I figured that if i looked like i didn't have money, or look like i can't afford to pay thousands of Pesos, then they'd cut me some slack and not give me a hard time. Let me tell you. It worked.

Customs lady said she would have to keep the boots because the sender(Chictopia) didn't declare how much they cost. Customs lady left to attend to her phone. Old lady talked to me and my mom  in a hush-hush tone and said that if we agree to pay a certain amount, i can take home the boots. Tsk tsk tsk. But i gave in, because if i didn't i would have to pay a far more bigger amount than what Old Lady suggested. I guess that money went straight to the Customs lady's pocket since we weren't issued a receipt.

Oh well, i'm still happy cuz i have my boots! Thanks Chictopia!!!

No longer a virgin...

of Araneta Coliseum.

Last night, a bunch of us watched Gin Blossoms live. 

we got the cheapest ticket

My friends said we didn't need to buy the expensive tickets since 

we were there to listen to their music, and we didn't need to see their "old" faces.

My night at the concert ended early cuz i only know 3 of their songs.

Hahahaha. That sucked a bit,

Me and Predo, another virgin.

that's how far we were

After the concert, we headed to Jay-J's for a drink.

Angeline was raving about the resto's Crispy Dinuguan.

Now i don't eat Dinuguan mainly because it's a soup 

with all sorts of innards swimming in pig's blood.

Yes, pig's blood.

that black thing is pig's blood :s

It is a delicacy here in the Philippines, but i'm not a fan.

But, to be a sport, i tried it since Angeline said it was REALLY good.

And it was. It didn't even taste like blood. 

It had hints of "icky" but the taste was over powered by the crunchy pig skin.

It didn't have any innards, so yay!

I would definitely eat it again.

It finally happened...

my friends and i were able to go thrift shopping

FINAL-FUCKING-LY!

:)

We all met up at this mall in Cubao,

and road a train to Anonas (which was the next stop).

The train was clean and nice compared to the other trains in the metro.

 

Carly and Angeline with their e-tickets

The first shop we went to was a bit too overwhelming.

Too many racks, too much stuff.

I'm glad we decided to check out the area cuz we found this other shop.

 I can say it's the best shop to start thrift shopping for newbies.

It was still tiring :)

After thrift shopping, we grabbed a bite to eat at The Burger Project.

Where you can customize your burger, anyway way you want it.

read more about the review of The Burger Project here.

my "project" which i named BURGRRRR..

here come the burgers

 I personally loved The Burger Project.
They had tasty patties, nice texture of the buns, and great tasting fries.
But, a bit pricey for a burger.
We're going back, but not anytime soon.
we need to save :)

The Halloween party that was...

Every year, my friends and i try to go to the Halloween Party

at the bar where i used to work.

I can say that this year, the party wasn't the same as before.

It used to be lots of fun.

Now, it was blah.

It saddens me, because this was something we always looked forward to.

Maybe we grew out of it, maybe because the "fun" people weren't there anymore, or

maybe because the young people were annoying (hahaha).

I'm almost done with my German Language classes. Final exam is on Monday. 

Wish me luck!!
