#BECAUSEOFMONEYILOSTTRUSTINMYFRIENDS

"Money is so important nowadays, for it is what we need to buy for our daily needs."

Many times in my life, that I experienced some shortages in terms of money. Having not enough money makes me stressed. It makes me stressed thinking where I should get some penny to spend every day that's why every cent that enter my wallet, I valued it coz it's not easy to earn it nowadays.

We need to work hard to have it in our wallets. That's why when God gives me this opportunity to earn in these two great platforms, I made sure not to waste this given opportunity. My earnings save us when we are out of budget at home.


Because of money, I lost trust in my friends

Friends? Yes, not just one, not two but three.

The first one borrowed money because she said that she will use it to buy rice so they would have something to eat. I gave her almost 2 dollars so she can buy 1 kilo of rice and viand coz I feel pity for her children.

I trust her coz she said she will return it once her husband came home but many weeks passed, she didn't pay it back. I just think that maybe she still doesn't have a budget until this time.

But one day, I saw her on the road together with her friend. I was about to approach her but she just ignored me as if she didn't know me. I just let it pass coz I don't want any trouble.


The second one borrowed 10 dollars. She's a single mom and I know how hard it is to raise her children alone. My partner and I agreed to let her borrow the money coz she will spend it on buying their basic needs.

And also she promised that she will return it once she will get her monthly allowance from her sister in Manila. That's what she said that time.

A month passed but we haven't heard anything from her. One time we saw her coming from the grocery store, my partner approached her and asked about the money she borrowed. That time, we badly needed some money because my partner doesn't have work yet, still waiting for his boss to call him.

But she told us that she didn't have any, and what's worst she was like having tantrums. So to avoid making big trouble, again we just let it pass. We just wait when she will return it but I guess she doesn't have a plan anymore because when we saw her, she doesn't say anything at all.


The third one borrowed more than 2 dollars and promised that she will pay it the next day. Without any hesitations, I let her.

But a week passed she hasn't returned it yet, so I messaged her on messenger. She said ok so I think that she will pay for it but when we met at the school, she avoided me.

To make the story short, until now they haven't paid for it.

What's worst, the second and third people that I mention are always posting their "gala or adventures on Facebook". Sometimes they went to have pizza, halo-halo, or anything delicious in my eyes.

The total money they borrowed is 14 dollars. Maybe that's is a small amount for them but me, that's huge already.

Who would give me that amount of money if I just sit at home, I think no one does right? We still need to work hard to earn it.


From then, I said to myself that I should not entrust my money to others. Not all are good payers, some are just good in words but not in actions.

Lessons I learned from it

  • Never let my emotions decide - when I let them borrow the money, what I felt at that time is a pity. I felt pity for them because I know what it feels like to have nothing in our pockets.

  • Never trust your friends - not all are true to us. Some are just there for benefits alone.

  • Learn to say no when it is needed - Saying no doesn't mean that we are selfish, sometimes we also need to think for our own sake because when things come to worst, our so-called friends aren't there for us.

That's all!!! Thanks for reading!

That's sad news friend. They should take responsibility in paying their debts. Paano naman ung isang pinsan namin, grabe, nasa 20k plus in peso hiniram sa ate ko at sa ibang tao, hanggang ngayon, di pa niya binabayaran. Grabe. Tapos sinisiraan pa kami sa ibang tao. Ewan ko kung anong pakay niya para kami'y siraan, di lang pala kami, pati mismo mga kapatid niya. Ang sakit. Sana'y matauhan na siya. Very selfish. Concern lang naman kami.

Yes friend. Minsan, gusto ko ngang gawan ng artikulo eh. Pag wala na talaga akong maisip, isusulat ko un.

Eto sis ung nangyari, two years na siyang pinapautangan ng ate ko, kasi akala namin, walang pake ung mga kapatid niya sa kanya. Pero, naglakas loob akong tanongin dun sa kapatid niya, at iyon na, nalaman na namin ang totoo. Un lang pala taktika niya para makautang at ng makabili ng mga mamahaling damit, sabon, pagkain. Hay ewan. Grabe lang. Diko maintindihan. Diba dapat, kung maiksi ang kumo, marunong tayong mamaluktot? Di na niya naisip ung nanay niyang namatay. Grabe, nakakagalit eh.

Ang ginawa pa niya, kasi nasa 25k plus utang niya. Pinaunahan niya ng 4k, ung anak pa niya nagdala sa bahay ng ate ko. Tapos, kinabukasan, magtetext na mangungutang daw ulit? Ano un? Ewan, napaka selfish. Huhu. Sana'y matauhan na siya. Tapos dina pinahiraman ng ate ko. Ayon na, nagsimula nang di pumansin. ... Ay ewan, mag article na lng siguro ako friend ng ganito. Ang haba na eh. Sensya na po. Hehe.

Whenever you commit to that you should give what you can afford to lose.. coz friends will always be firends and when you do understand that, you just move on with it... Even though it's so painful seeing that happen..

In my case ate, Mama at Papa ko lang yung pinapautang ko pero alam kong di na babalik. Ginagawa ko na lang pampalubag loob yung pagpapalaki nila sa akin even need ko po yon eh. Nakakasama lang ng loob. hehe kasi sasabihan kang madamot even nagbibigay ka naman ng kusa. Nakakasama lang ng loob since they already borrowed an estimated of Php. 20k on me, at may sama ng loob pa yon. Ni minsan nga, hindi man lang ako mabilhan ng gamit na para sa akin hayst na gusto. Lahat ng binibigay nila, parang gusto nila lagi may bayad hayst. Pag pappaalahanan ko, sila pa galit hayst. Understand at tUlonG na lang ang pampalubag loob ko haha. Ilang beses na akong na-scam ng sarili kong kadugo haha :))))). Instead na isipin ko yon, iniintindi ko na lang sila kahit halos wala nang natitira sa akin eh hehe

Dba nag-aaral ka pa? Ano pala work ng mama at papa mo? Kung tutuusin, hindi mo naman obligado magbigay sa kanila, kasi yung pagpapalaki sa iyo ay isa yun sa tungkulin ng mga magulang. Hindi naman investment yang anak na dapat paglaki, obigadong magbigay. Dapat nga sila pa yung magmotivate sa iyo na mag ipon para sa future mo eh

Kasi sa akin na part, kung lumaki na tong mga anak ko mas mabuti yung perang kikitain nila is isaving nalang para sa future nila. Hanggat kaya kong magtrabaho, magtrabaho ako kasi ayoko kong maging pabigat sa kanila.

Need lang naman po talaga pero ang sakit lang isipin hehe though alam ko na mukhang sapilitan kasi kinokonsensya ako. Alam mo ate yung di ka obligadong magbigay pero dahil pinapamukha ka nila na wala kang silbi, no choice ka. Kapag bumalik papa ko na wala yung motor na sinasabi niya, di ko talaga ate papansinin yon hehe. Hindi ko alam kung saan niya pupulutin yung hiya, Hangga't maaari, I'm keeping my earnings silent from now on.

I almost fought with mine some years ago but I was careful so I don't ruin our 7+ years of friendship. She later paid it even after avoiding me for days.

This is why I don't borrow anyone Money. What I do is to only give out what I can easily forget and not expect again. Even if they bring it back, collect it but do not let your mind be there. Give what you can afford to lose.

We should kind to others but at the same time we need to think at least twice before spreading our kindnesses to someone.

Do not ruin your peace of mind because of some ungrateful people.
