Wanted: Rain Boots

It’s rainy season once again. My beloved country has been dealing with typhoons one after another. I’ve long been used to this reality. It’s just sad that despite all this, I still come unprepared. Like when it comes to rain shoes. I only have two pairs of Crocs that I wear alternately to work when wearing office shoes becomes impossible due to heavy rains.

Aren’t these booties too cute for words? I want a pair, at least. I have a pair of boots (my one and only pair), yes, but they’re not for the rains. While looking for rain boots online, I saw these beautiful rain boots and thought to myself, how come I don’t see them here in Manila? That, or maybe I just don’t go out enough to spot them on girls like me.

Air 21’s Personalized Service

I am starting to like Air 21’s shipping service. They’re quite efficient and deliver on time. Recently, I’ve been receiving some packages from friends shipped via Air 21. I guess it’s the way they do their service that satisfies me as a client.

.

First, I get an SMS notifying me of my package’s arrival. A tracking number is provided. There is also a date indicated in the text as well as a customer service hotline to call for any concerns I might have. Another text arrives reminding me about my package and requesting my presence or that of my authorized representative to receive it. After I have received the package, I get another SMS reporting that my package has arrived and the name of the person who actually received it.

Unpredictability

Just like weather, women are inherently unpredictable. I myself can be very unpredictable at times. Now I want this, a moment later I don’t. It can be quite confusing and irritating to the people around me. But then, what can I do? This is how a girl’s brain works.

While women’s unpredictability is frowned upon by men in general, I believe it has some advantages. It saves you from making the wrong decision. It buys you time to think about things. It allows you to assess things better. It makes you see the bigger picture. It gives you new perspectives. It brings out the best in you.

Disciplined Eating

Once again, I have started to get serious about my weight loss. I tried disciplined eating last weekend and it seemed to have worked. I lost a pound in two days. I plan to continue this and hope to see greater results this week.

What is disciplined eating? I define it as watching what I eat and adhering to a diet plan strictly. The process entails a lot of discipline and hence, the name. I dunno but I just woke up one day and told myself that I need to get back into shape. I want to go back to the body that I’m comfortable with.

On Paying Bills

While a lot of people are paying their bills through online banking, I have yet to apply the same practice on a regular basis. There’s no question about the convenience online banking gives when it comes to paying utility bills. You just open your online bank account and do transaction right then and there. It saves you a lot of time because you can do it in front of the PC anytime you want.

As for me, I only pay my bills through online banking when it’s the last day of payment and I have forgotten to pay for them at SM Bills Payment Center (I’m quite loyal to them). As much as possible, I don’t want to touch my money in the bank. Come to think of it, when I use the bank funds to pay my bills, then I will have to go the bank personally (or ask someone to do it for me) and deposit the same amount of money again to keep my old balance. It’s time-consuming, don’t you think? Unless I’m shopping online trying to buy some vintage tub (I love vintage and vintage-looking stuff!), I still prefer paying my bills in one go at the nearest bills payment center.
