Sign, Sealed, Delivered: The Post Office Miniventure




- March 4, 2011, Friday

- Charmaine asked me earlier to accompany her to the post office, because she needed to pick up a mysterious package. Charmaine luckily didn't have classes today, and I was a bum. We left home around 3pm, and took a long jeep ride to the post office. (Grr, heavy traffic.)

- After arriving at the post office, we went inside and looked around the "ancient" building. I can feel too much history through the walls, while people walked busily everywhere.

- We went to the package-pick-up place, and got the Charmaine's package. The package was from Charmaine's Thai friend Pam; they met during Charmaine's stay in Hong Kong as an exchange student. Charmaine received cookies!! Yay!!

- We left the post office minutes later, and walked towards Chinatown. We crossed the Jones Bridge, right above the Pasig River, where I had the chance to ride the Pasig River ferry several times before the government decided to close it down weeks/days ago.

- We had a small meal in Cafe Mezzanine, and bought some Korean ice cream at the Korean grocery store in Chinatown. While walking home, we realized that we've been gone for only two hours of so - not so much of an adventure - but surely it was a well-spent miniventure!!
