I was having a blast with my set up. I could get all the crunch I want from the Jekyll & Hyde through the Club.
I was able to sell my ZT Lunchbox with Baluti Bag really fast after I posted it here on the classifieds. Got some extra cash!!!
One day, I was with my wife and daughter and we were walking around Glorietta. My wife decided to go to Fix Salon to have something done to her hair. I was left with my daughter so we walked around the mall while waiting for my wife.
My daughter said she wanted some pizza (she only eats White Pizza from Sbarro) so we walked to Glorietta 5 and had some White Pizza from Sbarro. After eating, we passed by RJ Guitar Store so I went inside and checked out some Taylor guitars. The prices were written on pieces of paper attached to each guitar. The cheapest non-baby Taylor was around P50,000. I tried it and I really liked it! Dang! I thought my Yamaha acoustic guitar was good sounding already but when I tried this P50,000 Taylor guitar, I got hooked!
So, I talked to the salesperson.
Me: Brader, P50,000 ba talaga price nito? Wala nang ibababa? Bertdey ni RJ ngayon, di ba? (LAWL!!!!)
Salesperson: Naku, kakatapos lang po ng birthday ni RJ, sir. Hehehe…
Me: Awwwww… Sayang naman. Gustong-gusto koi to kaso hindi ko afford.
Other Salesperson: (Sumali sa usapan. Bisor yata sya or something.) Sir, pwede ko ibigay sa yo yan for PXX,XXX (sorry, can’t remember the exact amount)…
Me: Ay, mataas pa din po. Sorry hindi ko po afford pala talaga.
I left the store together with my daughter and went to Fix Salon to fetch my wife. Here comes another husband and wife talk…
Me: $#%&na!!! May magandang gitara sa RJ kaso napakamahal! Acoustic!
Wife: Magkano?
Me: Singkwenta mil ang lintek!!!
Wife: Ngeeee! Mahal nga…
Me: Kung around trenta mil lang yun, ipapangutang ko sa credt union yun!
Wife: Hintay ka na lang ng birthday ni RJ. Hahahaha!
After some time, this thing found it's way to my house.
