i don't think i'm ever done whining about unfortunate things happening in my life. a friend told me there's so much to whine about more than not being able to place an order without sending the order form at zzzz store's instagram page.
weeks ago, i was trying to buy an overseas swimwear brand !!which!! cater my taste of designs, not to mention about my size too. i was so happy but then later on, i couldn't purchase it. the options from their website aren't available once checkout was done plus i have to use IG to communicate for a quick response. i even tried once more and got no response from my enquiries. i thought that the staff or the owner got annoyed or tired of my dumb questions lol. sad but thinking about the price despite saving up, it's not practical plus my overly traditional family will not allow to let me wear such type of swimwear top. this isn't the exact type of the bikini i wanted, but the style is my bet.
days ago, i placed an order at a local swimwear shop. just like the shop i mentioned, they cater my size and type of style...sort of. oh, 3x cheaper too. upon checkout, they are requiring to send my payment details at their IG page because 'we do not respond to emails'. understood, so i tried their facebook page but tada, left unanswered.
i'm frustrated. why some businesses like to use IG as a mode of communication? what about us who's no longer into IG? i just don't understand.
moving on, i got into roller skates. in fact, my interest with roller skates came three months ago after a friend suggested to try a sport i've never tried once. while scrolling on my facebook timeline, a local roller skates shop ad popped up. i browsed on their shop and find that it is too expensive to buy a quad skate that is exorbitantly priced. searched for local fb groups where i can find good deals. stumbled upon one seller that included helmet and accessories for only P2000/USD34/SGD48 plus my type of colour too. this would be my first ever online purchase from facebook. cross fingers that this good deal be mine soon, which looks exactly like this.
blackpink born pink concert comes next year! but as usual, they moved from SM MOA Arena to Philippine Arena which is in Bulacan! the last time i went there was back in 2015 at Katy Perry's concert. we waited 1-2hrs from her schedule. there was a free shuttle from Trinoma to Philippine Arena which was good. but after the concert, it was so traffic my mum and i had to walk for like an hour just to get a tricycle going to the terminal. lol. i'm worried this will happen ~again~ especially now that my mum is already far from what she could do before like walking fast and can do kilometric walks. now, we always have to stop for like 10 minutes every 30 minutes walk just for her to rest.
but! taylor swift's eras tour has begun! manifesting tickets for this huge event + sm moa arena for convenience T_T
last october i was trying to catch a ticket for TS' album listening party at sm seaside. of course, ya girl wasn't able to score. just when i was about to pay the registration form closed and announced that they will no longer extend selling tickets because of the COVID restrictions.
...and some rejections that came along. i honestly don't know why i'm god's favourite when it comes to getting unfortunate events, rejections, etc. sometimes, i feel i got used to it and it's already part of my life. rarely getting a 'success!' or 'congratulations!'. just a bunch of rejections.
most of the time, i feel i'm cursed. or it's just me being rebellious. indeed, i truly believe that god has his own favourite. yup, this is what i truly feel 80% of the time. but what i am beyond thankful for is my family and the food we get to eat + home for us.
did i get into impulsive buying? i don't know. but it's something i want(ed).
am i unlucky? yes and no. am i ungrateful? absolutely, not.
