Well Spent. In my previous article, which is ***"February: How did it go?"*** I have shared how much I have earned. Though it's not quite big, at least I have earned something from the last month. Well, no matter how big or small, it is still something to be thankful for. Before I have made my summary report yesterday, I already sent some of my earnings at home and the rest are sent for my savings. I sent them **$100** to pay their monthly electricity bills which is not…
Your Name? *Do you always remember someone but can't remember their names? Such a person in the past that you have great moments with but you haven't seen each other for a very long time, then suddenly you remember them now. The problem is that no matter how hard you try to remember their name, you can't remember it anymore. Like you can remember what do they look like, where do they live, how they dressed, even those encounters you have with them, but the name?* ***Nah.***…
New Client's Struggle A week ago, I have shared here in my article, *"A Promo and A Parcel"*, that the bank called me offering a Credit Card, and I accepted it. After a few days, it was approved. Then it was delivered here to me after 3 days and I immediately activated it. I wanted to enroll that in my BPI Mobile App and change the billing address before I make a purchase. I want my payments to be paid online so that I wouldn't go to the bank or to some payments centers to…
Three Point Three Yesterday, online shopping apps like Lazada and Shopee have 3.3 sales, wherein we can get affordable products, free shipping vouchers, bonuses, and the lowest deals. I think everybody knows this already since it is advertised everywhere on the internet. Even big brands like Unilever have exciting promos in their official store at Lazada. I'm not really a fan of online shopping back then because I would better shop at the mall, so I can ensure the quality of…
Checking Things Out After that flash of sales days ago, it occurs to me that I was too impulsive at that moment. Days before that, I already allocated a budget just for that, and I said that I'll just spend Php 1,000. After receiving three parcels this morning, I suddenly realized that I have spent too much. I haven't calculated how much it was exactly but my guts are already telling me that I have spent beyond my allocated budget. I spray those parcels with alcohol first,…
Relaxing Sunday The first week of March is about to end. We all are working hard, grinding for our goals since the start of this month. Now, we have reached another weekend. It's a day where we can take a day off and have a breather from everything. Well, maybe not for all people but maybe for some. I know a lot of us here take our days off as another day to grind more and accumulate more earnings to be added to our monthly budget. Even so, don't push yourself too hard. Take…
The Emptiness Have Taken Over! Holding my phone while staring into the ceiling, then looking back into an empty white screen of my phone has been repeatedly done in almost an hour. I thought I have already conditioned my mind before I started writing. I even drink a cup of coffee and organize the outlines of my supposed to be the article for today just in my thoughts while sipping my coffee. However, when I finished my coffee and positioned myself at the spot where I often…
Happy Check Out On Women's Day *To all women out there,* ***Happy Women's Day!*** I just knew this while I was browsing my social media account and I saw a lot of posts regarding it. A lot of them greet each other and a lot of them also set an event for that. I'm not really a fan of celebration but for the sake of all women who need to be appreciated, I want to say **Happy Women's Day** again. Please continue to be yourself and continue to strive to fight for who you really…
I'm hoping for a safe flight. The arrival of my replacement for my position here is tomorrow. I'm excited but at the same time worried. That is her first flight, so maybe she is also nervous about her safety. I have booked a flight for her last 2 weeks ago. I'm thinking that she could prepare herself more before flying if she still has an allowance. She could collect all the requirements needed for the flight and she could still have some time to spend with her family before…
A Little Bit Delayed, But It Turns Out Well. What I have hoped to be well was gladly turned out well. Yesterday, I was worried about the weather and the safety of my replacement. This morning was her scheduled flight. I have contacted her this morning at 5 am if she has already set off to the airport. I got worried again in a bit when she said that it was raining hard there at our place. I'm worried if she can catch a ride to the airport in that situation since it's a little…
Keyboard Warriors, Go Brrrr! We live in a democratic country and we have freedom of speech. I clearly understand that. We are allowed to comment, compliment, and complaint about things that we see all around us. We are free to express anything that we feel about various things. Everybody has the right to do it but that should be supposed to be fair and responsible unlike what is really happening ***on the ground*** *(the magic phrase ✌*) these days. ***Social Media***…
Am I A Bridge? I have been stressed these past two days about the issue with my replacement. After 2 days, a day of observing, and a day in training, she said that she wanted to quit already and transfer to another employer. Her reasons were that she is not used to waking up early, she was afraid of our Boss' loud voice, and she can't memorize her loads of work because she is forgetful. Those reasons were too shallow and unbelievable. We don't believe that it was the real…
Anyway, it's fine. After dealing with the stress and embarrassment that I got from that replacement, I was left with no other choice but to find another one if I wanted to resign much earlier. God has never forsaken me. In a short time, I have found someone willing and much more mature in thinking than the previous one. I explained that the boss is naturally like that and she is like that to everyone including her family. She said she totally understands that kind of…
Planning My Retirement We all want a comfortable life when we retire. We want to live a life after all that years of hard work to be peaceful and free from financial problems. That kind of life that we wouldn't have to worry about our monthly bills at home anymore. We don't have to worry about the money that we should spend on our checkups and maintenance medicines. Also, even if we leave this world due to our old age, we can't burden our loved ones to where would they get…
Mobile Top-up And Alfatop A month had passed and my Mother is still processing the burial claims from my deceased Grandfather's account in the ***Social Security System (SSS)***. She went there to their office a lot of times to claim the lump sum for burial claims that were released to every family of the deceased client. I don't know exactly how much they can claim but the institution is requiring us to submit receipts worth at least Php 20,000 of what we had spent for my…
When Karma Hits You Hard... A few days ago, my replacement have a lot of alibis after a day of observing the loads if works here. I think every regular reader of mine knows that already. I'm upset and disappointed, ***naturally***. But since we're relatives, I obliged myself to act more of a mature Aunt than letting my emotions cloud my judgment. As what do we have always heard everywhere, ***"If someone throws stones at you, throw bread at them instead."*** I'm not a good…
When Politics Took Over Your System... I'm on my way to farming topics on **Facebook** last night as I don't have anything on my mind since there is nothing worth sharing about my day when I stumbled upon a post that made my wish come true. It really did give me a topic to write about today since it triggers my reasoning skills again. Nothing, I'm just practicing to enhance it. I don't want to respond to that post because I know that person and I know that they would make a…
I took a sip, then got my mind poisoned. Most of us here are not young and new to alcoholic drinks except for some minors who are just here to grind and learn. We have that curiosity on why do adults drink something like that urged us to try it also. Then when we took our first sip, it becomes memorable that our tongue can't forget it. Let's be honest, we still drink until now. Maybe some are drinking regularly but some are just drinking occasionally. Still, we drink, got…
Don't Get Swayed By Anxiety. I have this habit sometimes that it even becomes too often now that whenever I get bored from everything I do either online or in real life, I just randomly call my family and friends to have a check on them. My regular victim is my Mother but when I have nothing important to tell her, I switch to other people like my cousins whom I didn't see for years. I just chitchat with them on whatever topic that we can think of and have fun, just so we can…
I was a demon but I gave birth to an angel. It is still fresh in my memory of how I bought a Pregnancy Test Kit in our local pharmacy, then I squeezed 3 drops of my urine, and after 5 minutes, two lines came out of it which means I was positive for pregnancy. I was that young back then but I'm not surprised and worried about it. I know what I have done. I firmly stand for it to face the consequences. Unlike the father of my child who is more of a demon than a demon that I…
BCH Pumps Higher But My Balance Plummeted Last week, BCH was slowly pumping. Yesterday, it was about Php 19,000 and now it went down to about Php 18,000. I should be still jumping for joy with this but I'll hold that excitement within myself instead. The end of the month is coming nearer again. Well, responsible adults know what going's on at the end of the month. All of our joys from receiving our wages would be replaced by a frown when due dates and bills would wave and…
Arrival, Gossips, And Willingness To Work After waiting for 10 days, she finally arrived here. She got a tough time traveling actually since she wanted to have companions when traveling so she scheduled the same flight with my cousins. My cousins were looking for a cheaper plane ticket so they chose to buy to schedule a flight at 7:10 am. It was not really convenient since the distance of our place to the airport is a two-hour land journey and they have to be there 2 hours…
Shopping At Almost Midnight At the cost of saving money when buying something, we can take risk of our time no matter when is it just to save up a lot or to be able to get more. Promo sales have been always a trend everywhere. It is already a thing and just a normal event. So if there's a chance, people take advantage of it every time. I think it's obvious that I have bought something in a sale again but before that, let me just share some updates these past few days because…
Not That Busy, But Distracted I'm still following my usual routine despite having a trainee by my side most of the time. I don't despise it having someone tailing with me, but I can't focus on my extra miles like writing here or composing thoughts to write later. I aimed to write here every day from the start of the month but it seems that I haven't accomplished that now. It even became almost impossible to write these days since I'm always distracted by her. During working…
Another Almost Midnight Shopping Madam's grandson, who eventually became our friend and our partner in crimes here, happens to invite us for an almost midnight shopping secretly. It's a *not-so-secret* actually since everybody knew it except for Madam. He would be receiving a lecture until morning and punishment if he got caught. He was afraid of going out alone also especially since it was nighttime, so we don't really have a choice but to accompany him. The sale on that…
