You’d better find another room for your advertisement.

Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it, and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work—and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t.

femme fatale

—> a woman considered by men to be highly attractive
—> literally, it means fatal woman in French
—> she only kills figuratively

ex. Macris fits her role as a femme fatale.  cheese

Before I log out, I just wanna share a good and very common euphemism that not-so-cheap products/goods and salespersons love to announce:


free  gulp

—> included in the price
—> an advertising gimmick seeking to persuade a buyer that more is being handed over than has been paid for. A prospective purchaser may also be offered a separate article which is described as being free as an inducement to buy what the seller is peddling.


examples:

chocolate drink powder with 20 grams free for a dollar (ka-ching!)
haircut with free massage for 15 dollars (ka-ching!)
hotdog sandwich, buy 1 take 1 for 2 dollars (ka-ching!)
steak with free side dish for 2 dollars and 95 cents (ka-ching!)

The list is endless.  cheese

Coffee sachet says sugar-free.
Sadly, I opened it and found no sugar.

There is, if you accept my invitation to eat out.  cheese


Speaking of invitation, there’s a Bible verse that speaks of God’s loving and patient invitation for us to come to Him:

“ ‘Come.’ Let the thirsty ones come—anyone who wants to. Let them come and drink the water of life without charge.” (Revelation 22:17, NLT)

Like I said before, you don’t need sugar because you’re already sweet!
