Last Saturday, after canvassing for tv stands that we have been planning to buy to replace our 10-year-old tv stand (that husband initially owned as a single yuppie), I went to a famous parlor for make-up (I choose not to divulge the name of the parlor) for a wedding we are attending later that day.

I loved my makeup. The foundation was air-sprayed, the eye make up was great, and the lipstick chosen for me wasn’t red. It was pale pink perfect match to my gray dress. So I knew that the makeup artist will be getting a good tip from me. When I reached the counter, I was told how much I owe them. I counted the money in my wallet and it was the exact amount! So I asked them, knowing they accept Mastercard, if they also accept EPS (Express Payment System of BPI).

Me: Meron kayo EPS? (Do you have EPS?)
Receptionist: Wala po eh (No, we don’t)
Me: Pag binayad ko ‘to, di ko sila mabibigyan ng tip. (If I pay you cash, I won’t be able to give them their tip)
Receptionist: Ay, ma’am, meron po pala. (Oops, ma’am, yeah, we have EPS)

Husband and I went shopping for his polo and a neck tie. But quite expectedly while we were looking for these items, husband was distracted by other very interesting items such as new release of his fave brand of rubber shoes, personalized basketballs and even dri-fit shirts. I reminded him to focus. While choosing for his polo and neck tie, I kept getting attracted to purple combinations, probably because I will be wearing a gray dress, and sure to be having a pinkish purple shade of makeup. Hehe. Good thing though that he insisted he’d been wearing different shades of purple for the last 4 or 5 weddings we attended he wanted a different color this time, because I suddenly remembered on our way home that the wedding we were attending to have a purple motif.
