I'll get into details later on I guess (I hope!). I'm procrastinating again. Then again, pictures do mean a thousand words. Tralala.

Anyway, I remember the horror of seeing the aftermath of the Tsunami a year ago today. I was at a friend's house in Greenhills for a birthday party and we were all glued to the television. Before the party that night, I had no idea of what was unfolding because we were staying at our condo unit in Manila and had no cable television. Nakikinood pa ako ng Sex and the City final season sa ibang bahay that time noh. I was desperate! =) We were shaken at the idea of that happening to the Philippines. If the earthquake happened North of the Indonesian Islands. We probably would have been hit as well. I can still vividly remember my dream. I get affected by disasters talaga. It's a stretch and it's inevitable but I do hope that the next time that something like this happens, we'd have the technology to predict it and the systems in place ready. I'm sending out a g-i-a-n-t prayer to that part of the world tonight before I sleep.

The whole store was turned upside down today. I was scheduled as a ringer too. The majority of my shift was spent doing returns and exchanges. I felt/feel like a robot in that box. Some customers can be really rude and insane. Sometimes I'm so tempted to tell them to just jump over the counter and just do my job for me. They KNOW ALL the store policies anywaaaaay (which I think is waaay TOO customer friendly). I had a return today for a zip up hoodie which reeked of cigarette smoke. It was sooo obvious that the item was used, then again, she did have her receipt and the tags were still on so I had to accept it. Konting hiya at delicadeza naman oh. Mga tao talaga! I'm glad I still have my patience. It is indeed a virtue and yes, customers are still always right even if they are not.

I'm surrounded by shoppers on a daily basis. Sometimes I envy them!!! I do! I'm heading off to Club Monaco and Armani Exchange this Wednesday to do some snooping around.
