19-03-07. Always call in advance!!!

Always, remember, always call in advance whenever you need to get somewhere!!!!

I remember once when I helped a family friend buy a book on Comparative theory for her child. It was a rare one, and I had to go extra miles only to find one. Though, I was glad that at least I called several bookstores in advance, which saved a great deal of time.

However, more often than it should, I generally act on constaneity and rarely take that basic step. For example, last week I had to buy new earphones to make up for the old one I left in Son La. I chose ones from CellphoneS, a brand that has stores everywhere. However, I was not lucky getting it at the first store I visited. The staff there said they were only available at stores in Long Bien district. He was wrong. I got them right at a store only hundreds meters away from his.

Today was another time I made this silly mistake. My sister had me drop by a store to buy a pair of ballerina shoes for her mother-in-law, which I did. What I did not was to call them to check if those were in stock, which weren't.

Good news is, l've bought a new pair of sandals in like 5 minutes. Actually, I bought the first pair I tried on in the first store I walked in. Well, so proud of me! Always, remember, always call in advance whenever you need to get somewhere!!!!
