Kid at Shangri-La, EDSA
There’s this kid who was playing at the edge of the revolving doors. He didn’t realize that he leaned on and pressed the emergency stop button.

Intermittent connection. (I think we never had a day with 100% connection). My favorite excuse: “We’ll monitor your connection for 24 hours and call you back.” Of course we never heard from them.

Mercury Drug, Robinson's Square
I’m wondering what’s the average wait time for you to be served? I attempted to buy medicine but the ladies behind the counter don’t actively talk to the customers. They seem to just wait for the prescriptions to be shoved in front of their faces. (That and whoever, shouts at them the loudest).

Figaro, Malate
Kudos to the staff! We left something and came back for it a few hours later. Our stuff was kept safe behind the counter. I bought three coffees to go and left a tip to show my appreciation.

Checker: Hindi na natin bubuksan ang boxes ha? Bahala na kayo kung ano mabibigay nyo sa amin.
Checker 2: Oo nga. Ang daming boxes niyan. Kahit ano bigay nyo, ok na.
