The phone I bought online yesterday has arrived today. Online shopping is really a great way to buy things if you’re always busy.
It surely is! I also buy things online because I don’t have time to go to the mall. The Internet is really an amazing invention!

I agree with that. These days, we can also buy groceries online so we don’t have to go to the supermarket.
What a convenient way to buy food! I would like to try that sometimes since I go home late recently.

I can assure you that it will effectively save much of your time. You just have to download the application online for you to use it.
Thank you so much. I will try to download the application on my phone later.

READ

I bought a Manga for our grandmother. This is one of the famous Manga today, the Sanju Mariko.
Why did you buy our grandmother a Manga? It is not yet her birthday and she is too old for that.

I bought Manga for her because I believe she will see herself in the story. Plus, the latest trend in Manga is that old people are the main characters in the story instead of teenagers.
I see and I also remember that lately, she kept on telling me her life stories when she was young. So I guess giving her a Manga about it will make her happy.

Indeed. I will just cover it with a gift wrapper then I will give this to her.
Let me help you with that then let’s go to our grandmother’s house.
