A funny thing happened to me on Valentine's Day. The morning started with me successfully peeling myself off my nice, comfy bed to attend the 6 am prayer meeting at the Fort. (6 AM?!? Now, whose idea was this again?)
After a great prayer meeting and a nice breakfast with friends, I drove home in a happy mood. Once I got in my front door, my helper X who is really a hard-working girl but not exactly the most gracious person in the world...(uh let's say she's not going to give John Robert Powers a run for his money) unceremoniously handed me a piece of paper and said "Ma'am, hindi pa bayad yan!" ("This bill hasn't been paid!") I had no idea what it was so I started reading it.
Lo and behold, it was an unpaid bill for flowers that were delivered for Valentine's Day.
To my surprise, when I got in the kitchen, there were flowers in a box on my table with a BLANK card and BLANK envelope! She kept pressing me for the payment of these flowers saying the guy might come again to collect. Wala na ngang dedication, ako pa ang
magbabayad!
(No dedication on the card and I even have to pay for it!!!)
Good thing I have a sense of humor, so I decided since I may end up paying for these roses I might as well sign the card. So I did. On the front of the envelope I wrote "Joey" and on the card I wrote
"Dear Blog Pitt,
Happy Valentine's Day!
love, Angelina Boni
(And yes, my hubby, who has just discovered blogging as a sport yet forgot to write on my card, I still do.)
Patawarin mo na ang bata ko. Patawarin mo na rin ako.
