I was super upset \ud83d\ude41 I mean.. I was all dressed up.. and needed to go to the post office anyway&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>SO&#8230; I took my umbrella and just head out. First stop &#8211; post office. Great! Rainy day = no crowd! Mailed the parcel and begin trip downtown.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the thing, I was at the midpoint. I was thinking of taking the bus downtown BUT it&#8217;s crazy to wait for the bus in the rain ( mind you &#8211; bus stop is not sheltered. It&#8217;s just a pole\/sign indicating that the bus stops here) Walking to the monorail = walking to downtown.<\/p>\n<p>I choose the later.<\/p>\n<p>I was carrying a bag which I regretted buying in a PAPER BAG (bad bad choice = proves 1000X why I return it). Guess what??? The paper bag BROKE!!! The bag dropped onto the wet floor!! I was like !!&lt;!((&amp;$$##$%^&amp;*((*&amp;^\u00a0\u00a0&#8211; no choice but to squeeze the bag inside my bag ( bag in bag) geeez&#8230; by the time I get to downtown.. went to the store&#8230; the SA asked me how I was.. I was soooooooooo upset and angry&#8230; BUT I decided to be nice\u00a0and replied as calm as I could &#8221; Not good.. I braved the rain to come here &#8221; geeez&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>After doing my &#8216;work&#8217; in the store, I headed to RED MANGO for my lunch = yogurt! I love <strong>RED MANGO<\/strong>. Sat down spent time with myself.. admiring my new &#8220;precious&#8221; haha&#8230;\u00a0just that I was having a bad ulcer and it&#8217;s so bad tt I can&#8217;t eat solid stuff&#8230; I cld only eat yogurt and porridge \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>It was still raining after my lunch.. took the umbrella and head to Macy&#8217;s .. wah.. Estee Lauder was having a promotion and the freebies were soooooo irresistable! The line at the counter was LONG&#8230; the SA told me that there&#8217;s 4 sets of freebies left. &#8220;It&#8217;s my lucky day!&#8221; I thought to myself and waited in line<\/p>\n<p>While waiting.. I noticed a visually handicapped lady with a service dog looking very lost in the middle of the mall&#8230; she stood there for a couple of minutes and it was as though she&#8217;s invisible &#8211; nobody came to help her. Since, I had nothing better to do &#8211; I got out of the line and approached her. She was looking for a handbag, so I guided her to the handbag section and got a SA to come to her. I seriously do not know why the SA\u00a0 exclaimed &#8220;OMG!&#8221; when I told her the lady needs help. Oh well&#8230; I went back to the line&#8230; counted the no. of pple and realised that I might nt get the freebie&#8230; BUT&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>A lady left the line as she was too tired of waiting!!! yay!!! I bought a serum and got the FREEBIES &#8211; the <strong>LAST <\/strong>freebie. heh.. it pays to be kind! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>Headed home after shopping &#8211; checked the mailbox and&#8230; I GOT ANOTHER FREEBIE ! It&#8217;s a BOTTLE OF DISHWASHING LIQUID .. haha&#8230; nice! I nv really need to buy household stuff in US &#8211; almost everything comes FREE or almost FREE .. happy!<\/p>\n<p>At home, checked my email&#8230; and GUESS WHAT?!!! heh&#8230; the photo\u00a0album I made for our Hawaii trip had some production error ( it&#8217;s the company&#8217;s issue) &#8211; so they gave me a 75% discount + free shipping to reorder the same album!!! WOW!!! I paid only $1.36 for the album<\/p>\n<p>Rested awhile and cooked dinner + BH&#8217;s lunch. What a day! I feel like i&#8217;m writing a composition &#8216; The day I helped a person in need&#8217; hahaha<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>yesterday was one of the few days that I decided to venture downtown for some shopping&#8230; oh well&#8230; it started pouring heavily when I wanna get out of the house.
