Seize the moment

The economy is tight. This is not rocket science –  you don’t even need to have studied Development Economics or Statistics to know this. At least that’s what my friend Dani says.

He is an amazing guy, down to earth, kind, hardworking you name it. I have known him for quite a while, although with both our busy schedules it had been awhile since we had seen each other. Because my birthday was around the corner, he made the effort to find me and buy me a cup of coffee, as well as catch up.

Now Dani is one of those guys that falls in love every other month, so it’s inevitable that the lady he is seeing at that time will come up in conversation. After about 30 minutes of hanging out and he hadn’t brought up any babe in the conversation, I was curious.

“Soooo, what’s going on? How is it you haven’t told me about how funny, beautiful, sexy or whatever the current Trish in your life is?”

Yeah, I kinda gave up on keeping track of Dani’s babes.

“There’s nothing to tell”

Makes a face

“Why’s that?”

“The economy, it just won’t let me be. You know how I roll. I like to show a lady a good time – lovely food, going to the cinema, a spa treatment here a trip there… And that has become difficult to do over time so I walked away.”

Being the Pearl that I am, I had a solution to some of his problems. He was very happy, and that made me happy. I figured that it’d be selfish of me not to share because there might be someone else going through Dani’s situation.

You get spend more time with the Trish in your life, and you don’t have to go out to do it. Simply place an order on HelloFood (believe me, their extensive restaurant list will not disappoint), use the code HELLOMOVIES and get a 3,000/- discount on any order above 15,000/-. But that’s not all, this also gets you a discounted movie ticket at Century Cinemax, Acacia Mall at only 10,000/- on selected movies so weekend plot is sorted. If you’re not the staying home type or are the type that usually leaves work at ridiculous hours, you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner delivered to the lovely Trish because well, she’s always on your mind despite the paperwork madness.

I’m sure you’ll both be happy with this awesome deal, at least Dani is.

Also this is as good a time as any to find out whether you are someone’s Trish… But if you are not, that’s also okay. You know what they say about loving yourself, show yourself some food/cinema love. You’ll enjoy it, trust me I know.
