yey! guess who now has a copy of Hanson's new album Underneath ONE DAY EARLY?



they werent supposed to release it earlier, but when my friend Helga called, screamed at my ear, and said that the albums were already at the recieving area and all they had to do was stick the barcode thingie and we could get them right away.

so obviously, lying around to hailing a cab took me 5 minutes to accomplish.

thank goodness the roads were clear and it took only 15mts from my house to tower records in megamall. i swear, if my mum left her car here, i would've driven myself to megamall with only a student lisence and 6 hours worth of driving lessons.

when i arrived, the lady said that the album didn't have those barcode things and the person in charge of that was away.

so the lady i was talking to passed me to another lady, who passed me to another lady, who told me that the album was supposed to be released tomorrow

now, i don't know the technicalities of record selling, but "wala po kasi yung maglalagay ng barcode" just doesn't cut as a good excuse to me. that's even lamer than Hanson's "unavoidable circumstance" way back in 2000. besides, they already said that we could get it when we called. and to me it just sounded like a simple process of printing out barcodes, sticking them to the CD, and selling it to us. so i cashed on to that idea and held my ground.

"sabi niyo we could get them today, we called and you told us that. now i came all the saw from antipolo and i'm not leaving without a copy of Hanson's underneath"

"kasi po mam day-off nung taga-lagay namin ng barcodes eh"

"i know, pero ang sabi niyo, makukuha namin today, that's what you said. and i'm here, at lahat ng mga kaibigan ko papunta na para bumili ng kopya nila dahil yun yung sinabi niyo, diba unfair naman yun na pumunta pa kami dito, tapos wala rin pala? hindi naman ata pwedeng ganon nalang"

"sige po mam, tatanungin ko muna sa likod"

that's how i was able to buy 3 copies of Underneath, if the saleslady decides to take revenge on me, the best way would be not to include the 3 albums that i bought on the total album sales.

so miss tower records customer service, if your reading this, i'm the psychotic hanson fan.

the worst case scenario speech for me was to throw in the "i've waited seven years for this album, and i'm not waiting another day".

thank god i didn't have to use it.

so i went home. high on teenybopper hormones (which is roughly endorphins, a neurotransmitter responsible for the high on hapiness feeling).

when i got off the cab, my mum was waiting for me at the end of our subdivisions entrance, i vulonteered to drive home, and just as i was about to release the breaks, our maid texted and said that janzen just dropped by the house.

so i put the gears on park, pulled the hand brake up, and ran to the gate of our subdivision. *swelling music*

you can't miss his catwalk strides and the way he flaps his arms and sways from right to left at each step, it's actually cuter than you think.

ok, the next part of this story involves semi-shamlessly PDA-ing while my mom was inside the car and we were right outside. so yes, we were PDA-ing in front of my mum and i bet she will never live it down.

but it's ok. it's all good. i love my life... really.
