the FREE stuff

...certainly, what one would do for a freebie!

i was meeting up w/ a girlfriend in a mall one afternoon. as soon as i entered the mall's premises, i immediately SMS'd her asking where she was so i could just go meet her up. she replied back, telling me to go to the 2nd floor,across a local boutiqe, adding that sh'ell be waiting for me there. and so i went. the mall is actually not too big, nor too small,so i was so sure i'd spot her right away. and boy was i wrong. no sign of Gladyz on both sides of the way. i started getting puzzled. i looked for her inside the boutiqe she told me, then on to corners outside it, but she's nowhere. i even checked for her outside an appliance shop just right across the boutiqe...well, more of like, just glanced for a full second. NOT in the world would she ever be there. yet, w/ that full second glance i took on the store, DID make me stop on my tracks.it couldn't be. WHY would she be there? it never occured to me home appliances appealed her. giving her the benefit of the doubt, it calmed me down to thinking she might have friends working there. not to mention currently swarming around her. you see, my friend is quite a pretty sight. so those gooey eyes on her direction doesn't surprise me. anyway, going back! when she spotted me standing outside, she motioned for me to come in, and JOIN her. at first i hesitated, thinking she won"t be long inside.but the look in her face told me we're going to be in it for a while..so I pushed open the glass doors, made my way inside, and sat in a couch across her, who is seated in a huge massage chair..it was a gay sales rep who was patiently explaining to her how this "high end cooking stove" would be a perfect gadget in the kitchen. turns out, the sales reps swarming around my friend, are NOT her friends. so Gladyz here after all,was persuaded on to something...in between the sales chat, Gladyz finally managed to tell me to just stick around for a few minutes more, so she could get her free digital thermometer...!..all this TIME we were waiting for a FREE THERMOMETER!! I can't believe she's sticking up to all of this miles of sales talk from one appliance to another, just to covet her precious, cute, free thermo. LOL! and how impatient she looked the whole time the sales rep was doing his spiel, priceless! haha! poor thing. ü

i admit i myself am also a bit of an addict to freebies. i mean, who wouldn't be? especially those good stuffs you know you can use. and i can't blame my friend here for going all thru it just to get that tiny stuff. but that's her. moi? im a bit impatient to those, especially having to stick around for sales talk. i'd rather go fro freebies that does'nt require much time to get them.there are a lot of them. hehehe.

i guess you can't stop one determined gal to get what she wants.

atta girl! ü
