I was not on my best behavior this weekend.
Saturday, Jay and I went polvoron and crispy pata bingeing at Megamall.
'Twas the biggest crispy pata ever. See how big it is next to Jay's hand.
Mannang crispy pata is &hearts
That night I demolished chocolate cake at Jenny's dinner, Lorenzo's Way.
Too cute: Tokyo meets L.A.
Sunday, I became godmother to another nice baby
At the reception, I wasn't so nice. First, I ate too much lechon.
And then I made a booboo.
While eating heavenly paella, my back was turned against the musicians.
I heard someone announcing a song number. Then I heard a guy belting out "Fly Me To The Moon"—a little bit loud from where I sat.
That was my cue to go home.
At the same time I saw a woman frantically getting up with her handbag and thought she was also on her way out. So I said, "Alis na din ako. Kumakanta na eh." (Time to go. Cause there's singing.)
Turns out it was the woman's husband. Ugh!
*French exit*
Next, Grace, Kevin and I went to S&R The Fort to do groceries.
I had a long list of groceries, but tonight the bill was unusually expensive. I made a mental note not to shop here anymore, as my bill is 40% lower if I go to Puregold, which ironically owns S&R. Ugh.
On our way out, somebody checked our receipt and found out I was grossly overcharged for two small bags of Jasmine rice.
Check it out—two small bags of rice for PHP 1529.95 per bag—ano 'to, ginto??
While I'm grateful that they informed me that the barcode was wrongly priced, all they could offer me was either store credit or two giant bags of rice worth PHP 1529.95 each. No refund.
Store credit isn't even gonna work as I don't want to shop there anymore. Not only is everything overpriced, the supermarket is really incomplete, and the trust level for me is too low.
So yes, I have 50 kilos of rice in my house. If only there were a rice shortage, I wouldn't mind.
But I do and I'm not going back to S&R anytime soon.
People please be careful and check your receipts.
