Choose Day

I know it's Friday, but it's a choose day for me. The young lady brought  one of a kind socks for her father and her brother as pasalubong (homecoming gift) from her month long stay in South Korea last summer. It was a dollar per pair.

This was one of them.

I loved the socks, and I wish the young lady brought more. Since the delegates of the Korea-America Student Conference were coming to the U.S. for this year's month (last July) long affair, I asked the young lady if she could ask any of her Korean friends to buy a dozen or two for me. I use this kind of socks everyday. I wear sneakers daily, that's why! It's my uniform.

Last August, the young lady came home with all of these from her friend, Jiyeon.


YUM! YUM! YUM! Jiyeon didn't accept any payment for these. She's so sweet! What's sweeter about her was she also gave something for the mister.Today, I had a hard time choosing which one to wear first. What would a Bisaya mama do in times of confusion? I did the "sanggutot kinsay pala-utot" (eeny meeny miny moe) this morning.

The young lady also bought a couple of mismatched socks from Daiso in San Francisco. I call these as Solmates Socks wannabe.


Compare between the authentic Solmates at $20 a pair to $1.50 per pair wannabe at Daiso, I'd take more from Daiso of course. I also have several pairs from Solmates. I just can't get enough of socks.

Another choose day! Yesterday, I texted the mister...

Me: Dear, kakan-unon ko'g cake! (Dear, I want to eat cake.)
Him:  Ako kay donut! (I want a donut!)
Me: Okay pod ko ug donut kung way cake. (I'm okay with donut if there's no cake.)

I was willing to compromise.

Him: Sale ang donuts ugma sa Giant Eagle. (Donuts will be on sale tomorrow at Giant Eagle.)
Me: How do you know?
Him: Abi ko'g kada Friday ang $5 dozen donut?! (I thought it's always $5 per dozen donuts every Friday?!)
Me: I'll check it tomorrow.

...and he's right!



I came to the store around 2:30ish in the afternoon already. I should have come earlier. I wasn't able to get my favorite---the plain chocolate donut. There were not a lot of choices to choose from, but this is, I think an eyegasm already! I did't do the eeny meeny miney moe this time. I made the boy choose a flavor for me. I had half of the no filling one--the second from the top at the right. Oh! By the way, a dozen is priced at $7.99 regularly.

The end! Have a great weekend, everyone!
