Irritants (a.k.a. Pet Peeves)

I am irritated. PMS-ing plus other OMFGWTF things that happened last weekend = a not-so-happy Madz. I think you should be warned when you read PMS. 

1. LRT Perv. - I was waiting for some buddies at Central Terminal when this old foreigner guy approached me. Blah, blah, you’re-so-pretty-wanna-have-lunch-or-coffee huzzah. I tried to be civil and shooed him off. Then he tried to steal a hug. Pota, kung di ka lang mataba at mas malaki sa’kin. Then again, I failed at doing some self-defense things. I feel bad. And icky. Also, do I look like I’m some cheap Filipina who would go out with a random foreigner? Kainis.

2. Security Guards - boyfriend told me that security guards are supposed to be a little irritating. I don’t think so. I think guards should be nice but stringent. Anyway, we went to Manila Polo Club yesterday to visit their Tack shop. I wanted to buy some rabbit-safe products. Their website said they’re open on Sundays. ACGS told me they’re open on weekends. They were closed. Apparently, they changed their schedule - Tuesdays to Saturdays, 11am to 6pm instead of the Tuesdays to Sundays schedule on their website. Anyway, back to security guards, the guard at the entrance was really annoying. I told him that I was referred by ACGS to their Tack shop since it’s accessible (for me). He said that only members are allowed there. A co-forumer of mine told me otherwise. He even tried to ’scare me off’ by saying they only accept card transactions. Heh, I have a card. After 10 minutes of explaining why we were there, we were finally asked for an ID. Aaand, I forgot my ID. Fortunately, Bernard has his office ID with him, and I was able to get in (1 ID per person lang). I asked for directions from the same guard. He just mumbled and ignored me. Fine, whatever. Good thing there were other friendly guards inside who gladly brought me to the shop (even if another guard told them that it was closed).I might go back there in two weeks to get those darn wood pellets.

3. ‘Foot Massage’ slippers - I borrowed my grandma’s foot massage slippers thingy since they’re pretty and brown. Its supposed to make me feel relaxed (and taller?) after wearing them. At the end of the day, my feet felt sore - much worse than wearing four-inch heels.

4. Uncivilized people who steal your table at KFC. - ’nuff said.

Haay, PMS.
