SWEET!

So, yesterday I got a chance to pamper myself a little. I went to the nearest nail salon and got both my hands and feet made over. I thought I needed it. After my stress the past weeks, I ought to give myself a break. So off I went. And as I was choosing which station to pick, because there are lots to chose from and all of them wanting you to try their services, I finally just decided to go with the flow. Whoever was the most convincing, I went.

My nail attendant was very polite. She was so humble and very accommodating. Part of their marketing strategy perhaps. (Now, as I've mentioned when I say I'm simple I meant this kind of activity was so rare that I just wanted it to get done and over with.) Maybe I was a little surprised or didn't anticipate the very welcoming feeling, so I just eased my way in and made myself rather comfortable. Needless to say, I probably had to move four times before I settled in because it was such a tiny space that all their hair cutting and nail trimming had to do with that little area. Of course you have to move along too. It's the most affordable I can find, and I wanted it that way, less expense. In return, I had to make do with whatever was the inconvenience.

Belgian Nude, looks like Pink..

First light color on my feet. I think I like it.

It took probably almost two hours for the cleaning and polishing to finish. I was getting already uncomfortable after seeing the clock that I only had 30 minutes prior noon time. I had to head back home and check on my kid. I was also getting hungry. It really wasn't a good sign. True enough, I made a mess. Yes, I did. Because I wasn't used to having nail polish in the hands, I blurred the color by trying to get my stuff. And she had to re-color it the first time because blue didn't look good on my skin tone. She said it was best for fair skinned. My feet on the other hand was dark. No hurt feelings. I accepted that fact.

She probably had to re-do some of my nails two or three times too because I kept on erasing it with my careless acts. I repeat, I'm not used to this. I'm really not.So, finally to re-compensate her with her efforts and patience with me, I gave her a tip. It wasn't grand. It was just something for her to buy snacks maybe, for a job well done. I didn't feel any pain. I truly think she did good.

So, as I thought that my morning was good enough. I had better circumstance that afternoon. I met up with my current employer, Jeremy. She was going to give me my share for the month because I rewrite for her. Seeing that the dollar exchange now is totally low, I felt a little disappointed. I would really need money now with everything that's coming up. Some hefty amount would be nice. So I expected only the exact amount as I computed it. But when I met her together with her boyfriend in the mall, she surprised me by adding extra to my salary. I was so happy. I felt great. It was actually the first time that I felt good receiving my payment. It was like my first job or first paycheck. Maybe because it was hard earned. Perhaps.

So, as the day progressed, I thought I'd got to the department store while I'm at it. I needed a black eye liner. My old one was already incapacitated, hopeless. So, I went and found really good discounts along the way. As a result, I bought sandals for Php149 only! How many times can you encounter that super low price? Very once in a blue moon. And I couldn't resist buying some of the on sale clothes for my kid. If you ask about the eye liner, the main purpose for that scout, I didn't find any. None that I liked anyway. So, I had to stop over at Watson's and bought me some Everbilena cosmetic. But the total of my purchases got me excited. I even had change. This was good to buy food for the house I thought. Because I was such in a good mood, I had to share to other people.

Finally, I came back home after enduring a long line one transaction at BDO to deposit my earnings, and I gave the remaining change of Php 250 to my father to buy some fresh fish to make Kinilaw for dinner. Life is sweet!
