When God Wants To Have A Laugh

taking a break from answering emails. whew. the long weekend has been a whirlwind of expenses. i guess, like people starting out work and getting their first salary, i get really stuck up on my budget and cram as much as possible for two weeks' worth of living.

a major culprit would be the weekend sale in megamall. it didn't matter if there were enough people to create a black hole, it didn't matter if my mother was always breathing down my neck (anak malaki sayo yan; anak hindi bagay; anak pautang naman), and it didn't matter if i'll be passing out from hunger... i'm getting myself new clothes! i don't have to borrow from my younger brother anymore, whee!

and yesterday, i promised myself i wouldn't spend anymore... that i need to have my expenses controlled for the next two weeks... but NO! i just had to decide to watch house of flying daggers, get myself three new books at a book sale, and treat some friends to lunch!

look, i don't regret spending my money on the things i got... but dang, i need more control! i can still survive until the next payday, but i really have to tighten my belt. no extraneous activities of any kind.

which, at its core, is how i prefer things to be. actually.

ASIDE: last night after watching house of flying daggers, i went to the restrooms. got inside one of the stalls and peed my merry way to bladder emptiness. and when i stepped out of the stall, guess who i see.

a WOMAN.

with a look of shock on her pancake encrusted face.

i must have turned slut red as i looked down and muttered an "ohmygoonesssorry." and as soon as i got out of the room, i was chuckling like some serial killer who just finished clearing evidence. that was enough to make my week.
