...promos

I must admit I get easily sucked in with all types of promos. So it was no different when Crocs store in Ayala offered me a promo last December. The jibbitz. We always check the store out
for new jibbitz. I was paying for one jibbitz when the attendant told me that if I buy 2 or was it 3? jibbitz I could get one free seasonal jibbitz. Ohhhhhh...seasonal. That's not so easy to get by around here. And that would look good on Alyssa's crocs. It was christmas time so I figured it was gonna be a snowman or something. Well, snowman it was. They said this was so limited, it's not everyday they have this seasonal jibbitz. And it's christmas, it would be just so cool. Oh yeah, sucked in I was. I bought 3 jibbitz to get one seasonal design. Afterall it was limited. Mahutdan nya ko! I bought 3. And this attendant unceremoniously dumps this big big big plastic full of thousands of seasonal jibbitz right in front of me! LIMITED MY ASS!!! I could say 'ass' on my blog now, cant I? What's so limited about that big big big plastic flull of thousands of seasonal jibz? I was so, hmmm, let's put this delicately, pissed? But I didnt show it. Afterall, it was the Crocs store, our happy place. They could just have let me choose from a small contaner just so it would really appear limited. Im telling you, thousands of seasonal jibbitz in a big big plastic bag. Good grief!!! I went out from the store feeling so had.
They have this mug. It's a promotional thingy. It looks more or less like my drawing. Brown and stuff. But you dont see it on the counter. What you see is a sign on the counter. It says something like, you get a mug with a message. A crocs mug. Ohhhhhhhhhh another crocs stuff. Ive seen one on the net and it looks more like Lacoste with the crocodile on white background. But like I said, I am a sucker for promo stuff. So I had to ask, and regretted seconds after I did. The attendant took out this mug from below. When it gets hot, a message is suppose to appear. Where? I thought? on the surface of your coffee? Why I thought that? Becauuuuuussssseeeeee... there are already brown colored messages printed on the mug itself. I guess they appear more prominent when hot? Why am I even asking again? Ohhh, coz it's the Crocs store, and Im a sucker. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA . You were supposed to guy 2 pairs of crocs shoes to get the mug for free. click click click calculator on my head...P1,800 + 1,800 = P3600. Expensive mug. Pointless actually.
