Rockin' New Toy

Yesterday, I got a YM from Sam (CIR) telling me about this Kurt Cobain action figure she saw at Toy Kingdom in Podium. So before I left for my meeting in QC, I hurriedly went to TK to get it.

A throng of salespeople greeted me as I entered TK, each one of them bearing a smile. I normally don't approach promo girls (and guys) when I go inside a store. I hate it moreso when they follow me everywhere I go, especially when I'm just browsing stuff. Normally when I go inside a store, I know exactly what I want. I rarely window shop.

Anyhoo, Sam wasn't able to tell me where to find the KC toy exactly so I walked round and round the store looking for it. One saleslady decided to put me out of my misery and approached me saying, "Ma'am ano po ang hinahanap nyo?"

I looked at her and an internal battle with myself ensued. Should I tell her what it is? Or should I shrug and brush her off?

In a beat, I decided to just ask.

"San yung Kurt Cobain action figure?"

She stared back at me and asked, "Ano ho?"

"Yung Kurt Cobain toy", I insisted.

"Robot ho ba yon?", she asked me with a smile.

I wanted to slap her.

Instead, I smiled back and told her "Never mind" and decided to just look for the thing myself. Since I wasn't having any luck finding it, I called Sam. But she wasn't picking up. So I called Mo and a little while later Joey came to the phone and described where exactly I can find MY Kurt Cobain toy.

Lo and behold!







Yey! Yey! Yey!
