Shake

I decided to delay my call to my boss today because our good neighbor is playing the "Body Dancer" song from the 80's. Yes, the one popularized by Maricel Soriano. >:P

How am I supposed to explain that to my boss?

I definitely need to find a new place... :)

Mixed Up

A week ago, I contacted Emerald Headway about my Linux Magazine subscription. I asked Helen, who is in-charge of my account (Franklin Chua), to change the delivery address from the office (Makati) to my home address (Tondo).

Since I couldn't remember the last time I paid for the subscription, I asked her when my subscription ends. She told me that it's going to end this February. I recall her asking me about a "PC Magazine" to verify my subscription, to which I failed to clarify, because I assumed that I'm the only subscriber with the name "Franklin Chua".

It turned out that I was wrong... partially...

When the courier came (2 days late), he showed me a receipt with the name "Frankie Chu Ang". I immediately informed Helen about the mix up. I even wrote the correction in their copy of the receipt. I thought that was the end of it.

Yet I was wrong... again...

Today, I was surprised to see a copy of "C! Magazine" (Not PC!!!) on my desk, with the name "Frankie Chua". I should have told her "Wrong Person" instead of "Wrong Name". Ha ha!!!

I just inadvertently stole a magazine subscription from another person. Technically, I paid for his 2009 subscription and got his last copy for free. :P

Anyway, I should contact Miss Helen tomorrow to fix this confusion. :D

P.S. Perhaps this is a sign for me to consider getting a car... >:)
