Christmas, Christmas, Christmas.13 days to go!:D Haayy.. I badly want to buy Christmas gifts for friends and family na. I came along with Erick to the fort yesterday. I waited at his car till his class was finished. I slept while listening to the Ford event beside the lot where we were parked. Wave 89.1 hosted the event and it included RC race for kids, showcase of Ford cars, free tune-up for Ford cars and even test drive for new Ford cars. It took Erick an hour to break my torpor. Market market was our next stop. We were supposed to eat lunch there but I saw the Gifts Section so I asked Erick to take a look. I was already planning to buy gifts then but we were in a hurry because it was already 1:30 p.m. by that time. We have to meet his mom kasi by 3:00 at megamall. So I (we had a petty fight kaya wala na daw siyang gana kumain) ate then we went to mega. Erick's phone was lost last Monday during his duty at a squatter's area in Taguig. We were supposed to buy a new phone with his mom. We canvassed phones while waiting for her. It was already 3:45 and yet there's still no shadow of his mom so Erick decided to eat first. We set off to Carl's Jr. till his mom arrived and ate with us. Most of the cell phone stores there only accept cash that’s why we had a hard time finding one who accepts deferred payment. When we already found one, his mom called the bank and found out that crediting's not available till Thursday. Erick and I were really disappointed. I really, REALLY hate favoritism inside the family! You have no idea how they inadvertently show that Ace gets to be the all-time favorite of their family. Ace got to buy his phone the same day he told his mom to buy him one. Buti sana kung kinikeep niya yung mga binibili sa kanya na phone eh binebenta din naman niya after. Tapos ngayon medyo nagrereklamo mom ni Erick na mahal daw yung gusto niyang phone eh hello?! Hamak mas mahal naman yung phone na binili ni Ace. Besides, Erick saw his mom's wallet that day. It had a stack of cash pa nga daw eh. Ugh.


Why is there such a depraved concept of favoritism? Just why can't some parents treat their children one and the same??
