Day 12: Vietnam!

No, I am not going to Vietnam! LOL!

My dad came home from a week-long Vietnam trip with his eldest sister, and brought home a Starbucks Vietnam tumbler for me (I collect tumblers for overseas locations and mugs for local ones). Actually, KY asked him to get it, and he actually thought he was getting it for her - he prolly wouldn't have bought it if he knew he was getting it for me. LOL!

Yes! My Starbucks Vietnam Tumbler!

But yes, he gave me the tumbler, complete with the receipt and credit card slip - just so I know he spent for me. Haha! My dad's such a comic. And I love him!

Thank you, Dad, for the new addition to my collection! And thank you, KY, for telling him.

Gifts are L-O-V-E!

Day 24: Small Change

We had an event Friday night, and I had promised my nanny she can go watch the concert with the kids, while I worked. So I lugged everyone to V-Mall in the middle of the afternoon to catch Hello to Heaven, a worship event featuring Acel Van Ommen, Yeng Constantino, Barbie Almalbis, Emman Vera, etc.

I had a bad migraine that day, and after having downed two Advils, I didn't want any more meds in my system. Never mind the knocking headache, I just wanted to sleep. But I couldn't leave, and we were to stay 'til end of the night. So I thought I'd get myself coffee. Alas, I only had a 100-peso bill (for parking!) in my wallet. The stores were closed and I didn't have enough change for the vending machine.

Their Caffe Latte (my favorite) is P14.00, and I had thirteen ones. I went through the junk in my bag and found four 25-centavo coins. Right. The vending machine didn't take small change. So I went to look for my brother to ask if he had coins to spare. But I couldn't find him in the crowd.

I had resigned myself to the fact that maybe regular coffee was the way to go, only to see that the vending machine actually accepted 25-centavo coins! Woot! You won't believe how happy and thankful I was (babaw ko, I know, but I was so happy) that I was able to get my favorite Caffe Latte.

T'is the vending machine outside VCF-Greenhills. Caffe Latte is my favorite.

Thank You, Lord, for the small stuff! Are you thankful even for small blessings? COUNT IT ALL JOY!
