Woman disguises as delivery rider to surprise lola who loves online shopping
A 37-year-old granddaughter who studied abroad for a year decided to surprise her lola when she got back to the Philippines on October 4, 2022
“Hindi ko ina-announce na uuwi ako kasi ‘yung pag-uwi ko, dinesisyonan ko siya a week before ng flight ko. Ang trabaho ko no’n sa Canada while nagsu-student ako ay caregiver. Habang nag-aalaga ako ng matanda, naisip ko, ba’t ako andito tas inaalagaan ibang matanda,” Celine Arceo told The Philippine STAR.
Celine then decided to disguise as a delivery rider when she went home to surprise Lola Luningning.
“Akala ko may deliver. Sa loob loob ko, bakit nahiga pa ako eh. Sabi ko, bakit ang aga-aga naman? No’ng tumungo ba sa kwarto ko, naka-facemask. Hindi ko rin makilala at bagong gising ako. Siyempre natuwa dahil hindi ko nga alam na ngayon na uuwi. Tapos may deliver pang Shopee. ‘Yun pala iba,” Lola Luningning shared.
Celine noted she did not expect her lola’s reaction to her “prank.”
“Halo-halo siya. Naluluha siya, tumatawa siya,” she shared.
“Sabi ko kay lola “halatang-halata kang Shopee ka nang Shopee. Shopee agad? ‘Di mo ‘ko pinigilan na pumasok ako sa loob ng kwarto mo,” she added.
During the lockdown, Lola Luningning learned how to use e-commerce websites to order her necessities.
“According do’n sa mga pinsan ko, mahilig mag-browse sa Shopee tas nagpapa-order. ‘Yung mga mura lang naman. Nagulat din ako alam niya ‘yung free shipping kung pa’no gamitin ‘yung free shipping. Ako, hindi ko alam pa’no,” she said.
Celine said that she was very happy to see her Lola Luningning after being away for a couple of months.
“Dapat maiiyak na ‘ko. Kasi siyempre, excited din ako makita siya ganyan. Alam mo ‘yung dapat maging emotional ka. Kaso sinabi niya, Shopee. Tas natawa na talaga ako,” she said in jest.
