the best thing in life is free

14 November 2008

It's my day today, why, first i'm wearing my comfort shirt, second i won a free desert!

On our way to the office after attending the mass, C and I dropped by at dessert solutions (it's a dessert store) located at our building lobby here in eastwood, C choose chocolate mousse for P50 and I picked mocha java for P55, the problem is C and I had only P50 each, we asked the sales attendant if she can give it to me for P50 only, at first she told me to buy na lang chocolate mousse, but i'm craving for mocha java so i insist the P5 tawad, she turned to her boss. The boss (wearing his chef uniform) approach us and said yes but told us not to tell anyone, okey surely!

While waiting for the dessert i noticed the "drop your card here" fish bowl and asked the boss how often they do the raffle, he said everyday, I told him i dropped my card the other day, he asked if my name was picked up already, i said no (with matching head motion), the next thing i know, he was fishing on the bowl, did a little mixing on the cards (eyes closed) and viola!! OMG! (exagg:)) he picked my card, i can easily recognize my card among the rest because it's red. i told him that's me, he said really? how will i know if it's you (at that time a don't have any IDs), he asked if i have my cellphone with me, good thing i have and he called my cell, "ring, ring, oh it's really you! yah, That's me!

So i had this mocha java for free! Half of it was shared with my sweet tooth officemate, a.k.a, sugar. Sorry the picture is vague, i used my not so vavavoom cellcam, i always forgot to bring my digicam.

Yay! Free. =) I am not so lucky with raffle and things like that. But I'm relatively good in negotiating for discounts. That's when the 'free part' comes in. I'm munching brazo de mercedes right now. Happy weekend!

That's great! It's a nice sweet treat, both literally and figuratively. :)

Thank you for your comment about the teacher incident at my son's school. I appreciate it.

I love freebies, I have little luck in raffles too, and I don't think I have won something, except I guess on groceries when there's some exchange for receipts...
