free

some things in life are just not free, no matter how they want you to think it is.

recently, I continued a subscription to a weekly news magazine. and on top of the usual subscriber's discount ($3 for a vendor $8), I would get a hardcover pictorial book (in colour) on the subject of Global Warming. and one of those shopping bags (not plastic, I hope) which you use in place of plastic ones when you go shopping. both items free with the subscription renewal.

or are they?

it was delivered by our postal service which I feel that should kinda revamp their way of doing things now. 1st, they like to deliver things during office hours. it's ok if anyone was to be at home but what are the chances now that both of us need to work just to be able to have 3 meals a day?

2nd, I requested for a morning delivery but they called at 1pm to tell me that they gonna be late.

totally not worth the aggravations but I will enjoy those things anyway.

not all things in life are free. but God's grace is. so I will be gracious this time around and let it pass. just have to tell myself not to jump at every freebie there is.
