Unlucky Day

Today is not my day! It is my unlucky day. I advertised the collection of paintings I have at home and what do you know? The telephone broke down the first thing in the morning. I reported it to PLDT at 8:30 AM and followed it up two times but nothing happened. No lineman appeared the whole day. I had to pay 208 php to Manila Bulletin to place the advertisement and nothing happened. It was not the money but the disappointment I suffered after anticipating for so many days for the possible patrons who could have called up after reading the ad and visiting my website. Now I have to wait two weeks before I can advertise again.

Due to better response from the readers during Sundays just after payday, I usually advertise during those times. I have tried so many years before of advertising my paintings in the papers but I did not get good feedback. Now that I have a website http://art-nook.com/ I tried advertising again this time and see if I can sell paintings through it. But then, the telephone broke down. Also, it is the day of Pacquiao's fight which I forgot when I placed the ad. People would not bother to read the ads the morning of the fight. Well, it is Pacquiao's day, but not mine. Better luck next time.
