It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Hey, everyone! How was your weekend? I had fun – did a lot of malling and shopping and on Sunday night, we watched Ramahari at CCP.

Do you feel the Christmas spirit? Honestly, I don’t. Aside from the weather being hot, I just don’t feel cheery enough to feel that Christmas is just a few days away. I guess most people feel the same way too.

Anyhoo, every end of the year, I stock up on supplies. I almost always raid Bench for their Christmas offerings. This year, I went crazy over these:

Yep, aside from the ones I hoard at Watsons, I even went to Bench to get my shower gel fix. These shower gels and bottles of hand wash will probably last us before summer. My Watsons supply has ran out so I will be opening one Bench bottle soon.

Christmas is also coming when I start raiding National Bookstore for supplies:

Although I already finished Christmas shopping, I still need to find the time to start wrapping presents. With my daily routine with work and home chores and what-have-you, I have no idea how I’m gonna get that done.

Oh, and this is a completely unrelated topic. I bought a new phone (nothing fancy, I’m not too fussy with phones) last week at Glorietta (BPI Madness) from Electroworld. After 3 days, I noticed that the on/off button gets stuck so I went back to have the unit replaced. The SA said that I should go to Nokia Care to have the problem fixed. I told her that it’s only 3 days old and they should just give me a replacement. She said that she needed a technical report. So I went to Nokia Care where they checked my phone. The girl said that it will only take 2-3 hours then my phone will be released. I told her I will just get it the next day. So we went the next day and the guy tells me that they needed to replace some parts and they will text me on Monday regarding the status of my phone. So I received a text yesterday saying that they need to wait 1-2 weeks for the parts to arrive. I asked if it would be possible to have the unit replaced by Electroworld. It’s a new phone. I shouldn’t be going through all this hassle! I told the SA that I only need a technical report from them. She then told me to ask for the name of the requesting personnel from Electroworld so that they can address the report to her. Yesterday, I was planning to go back to Electroworld but after a few hours, I decided that I cannot deal with all the stress. Just writing about it now is giving me a lot of stress, actually. So I will just probably wait until they get my phone fixed. What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Yes, this season comes with a lot of stress too...
