My Beach Fantasy

I was encouraged to join an essay contest where I need to write a 200 word article about my beach fantasy. That would be very easy for me. I have a lot of dreams to share. Beach fantasy are like your dream life or the life you wish you have. OK, let me see, my top “beach fantasy” is to have our own house, it may not be along the beach (it may be even somewhere in the middle of our polluted city) , I don’t really mind as long as it is big and have more than 2 floors. Ever since we experienced being flooded, I am always paranoid. What if the next time it happens, it would even reach second floor? So there, I want a house with at least 3 floors (or 4 will be better). My second “beach fantasy” is for my mother, pretty much the same with my first but she wants a house with so much land. She loves (and she have a green thumb) planting anything.

I could go on and on with my dream but what is the prize in the contest? A Maserati Quattroporte, a car of your own! Or you can even have some cash or win a place in Sandestin Golf Beach Resort. Awesome eh? Yeah, I know, that is why I am going to head on to their site to check the mechanics of the contest (this is to good to be true). I will read on more and will give you a clue.

PPP (Proud Parent Syndrome)

Last October, I indulge on Sati’s clothes (spend more than I should). I bought cute clothes for her on the net, have it delivered to a relative in US and have it shipped here. For some reason, it was delayed and it took more than a month before it reached my hands. Last Thursday, we got a notice from the post office saying that a package or a parcel for us is waiting to be claimed int heir office. Knowing how corrupt our postal system is, I started to feel bad about my parcel. I was imagining things, like paying more than I should or even discovering that there are some pieces that are lost (or STOLEN). My hubby who knew I was about to throw some fit went to the Pasig Central Office (in Ortigas) but it was in post office in Pasig City Hall. Friday and I was worried (reading to much can lead to insanity on my case) and was on the verge of going gaga over it.. hubby on the other hand has things to do so he said he’ll just get it on Monday. Now, that made me super sad.. oh no, I mean mad. Good thing (bago maghalo ang balat sa tinalupan) before I turn into a green mean monster, I got another package (this time delivered right into our doorstep). It’s form my Mareng Seiko.. oh darn, I was ecstatic and thankful. Seiko saved me from going crazy and the items she gave for Sati are soooo ADORABLE and USEFUL. I did not took some photos of it because I am shy.. I am not used to receiving gifts (I feel I am not worthy of anything).. but really I am so THANKFUL to my Mareng Seiko.. muah muah to you marce!

OK, back to the package from the post office.. as promised he got the package last Monday and we have a feast.. (next time you will Sati on Ninang Seiko’s gift)
