  • Fifa Brasil

    A relative of mine is a big fan of the world cup.  So much so that he recently went to Brazil to watch a match there.  In his return, he got me a souvenir.  This…

    I do think it’s very nice of him to actually thought about getting something for me, and put that thought into action.  But… this?  What am I gonna do with this?  I mean, yeah it’s from BRAZIL, yes it is made of ceramic, and yes it’s only available there because of the world cup and all.  But, seriously?  I don’t even have a little private garden of my own where I could station it to scare the birds with.

    Oh, I know, I’m being insensitive.  After all, it’s the thought that counts, no?  He actually had to spend money on it and brought it back all the way from the continent of South America.  He probably wanted to share his love for soccer with me.  And to his credit, he did get me something edible too.  Something from the airport’s duty free zone.  This…

    Too bad I’m not a fan of chocolate candies.  I tried one.  Way too sweet for my liking, as most chocolate candies are.  Now not only I’m insensitive, but I’m also ungrateful and picky.  Sigh… someone please kick me and send me to hell already.  I’m so the opposite of what the whole country is about in this spiritual month.

    He works for an insurance company and I got my medical insurance through him.  The gift is probably a little token of thank-you for agreeing to top-up my insurance plan just this past month.  He is a sweet guy.  But boy, is he clueless when it comes to shopping.  I mean, I could do with a simple t-shirt or a cap.  But he probably wanted to be a little creative.

    Could someone provide me with a suggestion as to what I can do with it?  Apart from hiding it in the cabinet and giving it away to someone else as a present later this Christmas?  It comes with the colors of red and green, after all.  Any takers?  Anyone?

  • :) :) I hope your cousin doesn’t read your blog! Is the other gift a towel of some sort? You can put that in your back pack and take it on one of your trips, and if someone says to you, “Oh Neat,” then you can ask if he would like to have it.
    The faceless doll, I would keep in front of your home to ward of evil eyes! <3 :)

  • I hope he doesn’t read your blog too.
    btw – that’s not really a doll. It’s a sex toy and you use it with the chocolates.

    j/k.

  • nuh. he is unaware of the existence of my blog. oh, that is NOT a towel. it is the plastic carry on bag that comes with the faceless doll.
