Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
Certainly better than the Philippine Postal Corporation!
I have Postman Pat coming to the office everyday and he is the sweetest. He is even coming back to their depot when I am expecting something which I believe delivery is being delayed.
I thought Royal Mail is very trustworthy as well. A few times that my old mother in law puts money on the post for my kids (£5-£10 only) but we always get them.
And here's the Philippine version:
I sent a £10 note to my sister, enclosed in her birthday card. She didn't get the money -- didn't get the card. I know it's advised not to send money by post, but hey, taking it is stealing!
By the way, the £10 is not a birthday present. It's a test to their local postman if they can be trusted with other stuff, ie. electronics, etc. If they're interested with £10 which is only 790 pesos, then the more with phones, cameras, etc. It's a shame, but one of the bitter truths about the system.
"The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page."
"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."
Now that Mr Postie has found money in a card sent to that address, it's a waste of time sending anymore cards to that address. They just won't arrive because the postman will open them looking for money and then, because he's already opened them, he'll just throw them away.
