Sex toys, anyone?
It's a slow Thursday and I didn't feel like doing anything here at home. I was tired of the Olympics coverage on TV and I really didn't want to clean the house or start on a new project. So, I decided to go thrift store shopping. I was not looking for anything in particular but if something would catch my eye, then I would buy it. I mostly looked at furnitures. I'm not talking about antique stuff here, but merely second-hand stuff that could be turned into something. After looking at three thrift stores, I came out empty handed. There were a few desk that I saw as possible "projects", but knowing myself, it'll probably just end up lying around in the garage. Then I'll probably just end up disposing it too.
Feeling tired and defeated (that I'm not as creative as those folks in HGTV and TLC) from my window shopping, I decided to go to Goldilock's for some merienda. So I got an arroz caldo (rice porridge in ginger with chicken) and kamote-Q (fried sweet yam on stick). I also got the most recent issue of Asian Journal where it had an article about a thriving sex toy store in Manila. Sex toy store? Now, why didn't I think of that? Having lived in Hillcrest (San Diego) and San Francisco, I should have thought of this business in Manila. Anyhow, the article said that the store can be availed of through appointments only and they now have a website where they do the bulk of their business. One of their biggest seller is a penis enlarger, which made me laugh. And the story continued to say that it's the women who buy it for their partners, which made me laugh even more. It's a pretty interesting article, I only wish that I would have thought of it first.

one of my superiors, im not directly reporting to him, have been seLLing these toys. he sLipped up once. it was not supposed to be known in the organization 'cause a lot of peeps takes it as offensive. he tells amusing stories about his clients.
he is often seen with a short manila envelope. its the way he carries the "merchandise". hehe. he said his partners have set up a website, and sells from there. i think ima ask him about it. ey, do you wanna hook up with him to set up this business?!
