There’s a retired teacher that comes to our office to sell fancy jewelry. I call her Tita Mila. Her pieces are very nice and not so common. Every time she comes she manages to sell me something until I finally told her jokingly that we’re at war so that I won’t look at her pieces. It’s really hard for me not buy something whenever she shows me nice pieces. She’s very good at convincing me that this pair of earrings looks good on me, the bracelet is a very good buy, and the ring fits my finger very nicely. In fairness, she’s usually right. Good thing I’ve become so busy with work lately that I don’t have time to entertain her.
Going to the office was very relaxing today. Flow of traffic was very light. For the first time since December started we were able to get to the office before 7:30am, just like before. Light traffic was due to the holiday of Catholic schools who celebrated the Immaculate Concepcion of Mother Mary. Since there are many Catholic schools along Katipunan there was really a big cut down on the volume of vehicle earlier today. Of course, tomorrow is another story. I expect we will be experiencing bumper to bumper traffic again tomorrow. I can’t wait for school vacation for Christmas to start.
