Sniffles & florals

I've been feeling sick since last night. The only thing I hate about the cold weather is when it brings along the sniffles. I am mouth-breathing again, my head's too heavy and my sinuses hurt. :( I'd rather have a runny nose than a congested one! Water therapy doesn't seem to work on me and medications take forever to take effect. I hate this! I remember one time, back in my college junior year, I had cough and colds for more than a month! My classmates kept teasing me that I had Tuberculosis, which was bad timing, 'cause we were just discussing about Communicable diseases that time, and TB was one of them. Thank God, it was nothing serious, just me being my feeble self.

Despite of the sick vibe, I still managed to run errands. I went back to EastWest bank for my unfinished business. This time, the counters served so quickly that I didn't even notice that it was my number they're calling. I also went with my grandma to the mall to buy supplies in National Bookstore. My dreamy-slash-nerdy self wanted to buy all the books in the Best Sellers shelf, but then I snapped into reality too quickly and realized how impoverish I am these days. Haha.

And since I promised my brother to "help" him with his gift for his girlfriend this VDay, I volunteered to buy the gift and wrap it as well. Haha.

I don't know why I'm so addicted with floral patterns nowadays! 

The hardest part was tying the bow. I hope it stays tied until the 14th!

Auntie Anne's to the rescue

Went to EastWest Bank this afternoon to withdraw cash for my grandma. Their counter was serving customer #46 when I came in, and my ticket says #54. I was thinking, "Oh good, this will be quick!" But it was only after 50 minutes when my number was called. They really need to have chitchats with co-workers every after customer, eh? Gossip can wait, miss. Anyways, after giving the teller the withdraw slip, she smilingly told me "Balik ka na lang iha, may erasure kasi 'to. Papirma mo sa lola mo." I was like, are you serious? It might look like a superimposition, but that's just the way may grandma normally writes. I waited for 50 boring minutes just to go home empty-handed and tell my grandma to fix her penmanship. Way to go. Now my appreciation for ATMs had just doubled.

After the bank mishap, Mama, Banchan and I went to City Mall to shop for groceries. It was so disappointing 'cause a lot of goods weren't available. How could they not have crushed Grahams there? Tonight's dessert will have to be cancelled. :( Note to self: For a pleasant grocery experience, head to Robinson's supermarket.

After shopping, I had coffee at the Carafe while my brother rode some stuffed toy-looking car. Mama bought these cinnamon sticks from Auntie Anne's, which by the way looked so cute! Look at what the packaging says. Hihi. One order comes in 4 pieces and costs about P35, very tasty and affordable! Thank God for this. :)
