Things I HATE in Grocery Stores!


I can say that my day is incomplete without going to any grocery stores. This is weird that I might confuse whoever will read this. There are specific reasons or things that I hate inside the grocery store. I can’t give you the number of those, I’ll just come up with a list and maybe I’ll end this topic until my last burst of idea:

· Product Stand Blockers – I get so irritated when I’m walking on the aisle and I can’t even roll my cart because of the grocery staff blocking the way and the product stand where I plan to check the item of my choice.

· Express lane, credit card lane, senior citizen’s lane and big cart lane – Did I miss a lane? Or my list is perfect? I understand why they have to put these lanes up especially for the oldies, but sometimes I really don’t understand why empty lanes are not accessible if you don’t fit in the category. I guess I’m right that they must do anything for customer satisfaction.

· No Price tags – This is one of the terrible things inside the grocery store, I don’t know if some people are price conscious like me, but what I mean is even if the item is on my list I want to know the price just to make sure that it is reasonable for me to pay or should I look for another brand.

· Missing Items – Sometimes I feel so lazy when I’m looking for a specific item, what I do is I ask the grocery staff to look for the product, sometimes I feel that I am in the right place, but the problem is, the item is unavailable. Hopefully they can come up with an idea of printing a sign where they can put the list of unavailable items. If they have the effort of labeling the lanes, why can’t they manage to label the unavailable items?

· Waste of money products – I admit that sometimes I regret that I need to buy some item that can cause me guilt because my money is not worth for that product, example are tissue rolls, batteries, expensive laundry detergents, dish washing soap, etc,..

Four times in a week I go to the grocery, every time I enter the store, I like the feeling of being inside because it satisfies my cravings. One thing I've learned, I must bring exact money that will fit into my budget or else I'll end up buying a lot..!

celebrity politician


I still can't imagine he won as a councilor. Yes, an actor turned politician, but he is not an ordinary actor that we see on television doing drama or action, well in fact, his past roles in his movies are surprisingly different from other actors who decided to go to politics. Most of his movies and TV shows, we can see his character as a gay guy who acts really hard just to be funny, whenever I hear Roderick Paulate's name, I remember him, he is doing a role in one of his movies "Petrang Kabayo". I don't know what is wrong about the voters today, if you will ask me, I wont even waste my energy going to the precinct and voting him as our city councilor. I dont know, maybe I was just too pissed of how he act on screen, I cant get over him knowing that he is now a councilor, good thing I have my blog, now I can share what I feel. :)

1st training day!


My well deserved lunch was the highlight of this day! I had burger and soda at a cheap prize (its free). Thank you for a nice start here in my new office! New faces and different personalities of my workmates. I am looking forward to have another great day with them for the next coming days!
