Now I Am The One Chasing...

Another day, another headache. This is yet another update from a friend of mine who borrowed from me more than a month ago. I also made two blogs of it already to share my experience or probably I just want to vent out.

So, the last update was she promised to send half of the borrowed money last Sunday. It was a headache because she had a lot of excuses. The annoying part was she was telling me about how hectic and busy her work was. I did not ask for this part, I just want my money! 

Thank you, sponsors!

I did not interrupt her though. I just let her tell her stories.  I know, no matter how busy you are, if you really want to pay, you will find a way. Gcash is very easy to send money, so I do not get how she cannot make time for it. For sure, she is not the busiest person in the world. If that is the case, I will understand.

Last Sunday

She promised to send the money through Gcash. So, I patiently waited for 5pm. Guess what, no money was transferred. I was to remind her pa that today was the day she suppose to pay the half. I actually need it naan because I have to pay some bills. I do not like to touch my savings in other wallets.

So, I messaged her again. It is a bit disappointing that I have to remind her pa to pay me. It was around 6 pm already that she paid me. Of course, another alibi like she has a problem with work blah, blah, blah. At this point, I do not know what to believe na talaga. I am so done with the excuses. 

She sent the half money borrowed, thank God. Kung di ko pa niremind, she will not send the money. The other half will be sent tomorrow, which is Monday. 

Monday 

So right now, I am so tired of reminding her. This is also to test if she really was going to pay. I kept looking at my notification if she messaged me or notification from Gcash. Surprise, surprise. No notif. I messaged her, and it was a funny excuse. She said, verbatim “Sorry, I cannot send it today because my cousin is also needing the money…. etc etc” - Okay fine I got it. Not a suppose anymore at this point HAHA!

Tuesday (Today)

Probably the highlight of my day. I scratched what I said earlier. That was not the funniest reason. The reason for today was, she asked me if she can take a shower first because it has been a day since she had a shower. Of course, girl, as you should! For sure naman Hindi abot ng one day yern. 

Finally, finally!!!! She paid the half back! Oh m God! 

Ang hirap pala talaga maghabol, jusko!

I did not expect that this will be a hard one!

Realization! 

Even if you are friends already for more than a decade, di mo pa rin sure, sis! For me, it is not about money anymore, yeah partly because money is money. It is more on the promise na she will pay right away. Of course, I have bills to pay rin. I buy things here and there but I want to manage my money well including debts and expenses. Oh, well. Ikaw na nag tong nagpautang, ikaw pa naghabol.

Nako sarap talaga magvent here. Sorry to my foreign friends here, I feel much better venting out my feelings when it is in taglish (Tagalog-English).

I might not lend her money anymore. I got tired, legit!
