Where Is That $124.04?
ARTICLE NO. 44 OF 2022
TITLE: <Where Is That $124.04?>
DATE OF PUBLISHING: <MARCH 21, 2022>
This article will be the continuation of my blog last 03.19.2022 entitled as "Reunited With My Second Home." As I said before, I'll write another tackling where does the PhP 3500.00 ($66.59) cash incentives that I received as one of the 22 out of hundreds students with the distinction of Academic Honors (With Honors) last 31st Mid-Year Commencement Exercises under CAS.
The question is, "are they still in tucked or was already spent?" Come and let's find it out. And, let me narrate it from the lowest (cheapest) amount to the highest (expensive) spenditures.
Since that I am one of the financers in the family now, maybe it's already expected that every money that's been passing by on me will be spent. Not just for me, but for our whole family. I can't afford to be selfish even if I really wanted to~ so, here's where I spent that 66.59 USD.
Chia seeds

This is the second item that I ordered last 3.15 Shopee Consumers Day. Got this 250 grams of organic and low carb chia seeds for just 110 pesos ($2.10) and had only paid PhP 123.00 ($2.35) including the remaining shipping fee.
It was delivered by the morning of 03.19.2022. A day after I claimed my incentives~
Slippers.
After I bought sis' remaining necessities for the resumption of F2F classes, we proceed to the clothing section of Friendship Supermarket. In here, I purchased men's slippers for Papa and my brother then a ladies' slipper for my sister. She needs another one to be used inside their classroom.
To sum it up, I paid PhP 262.00 ($5.00) including some ponytails and an alcohol sprayers.
My sister's stuffs.
How, we're down to the third spot. After I claimed my incentives, this is what we did next. To buy other needs of my sister such as:
Big notebooks, pad paper, coloring materials, additional pens, correction tape, glue, pencil case, tumbler, hygiene pouch, tissues and wet wipes, alcohols and sanitizers, and other stuffs.
Maybe I spent more or less PhP 500.00 ($9.55) in here. Well, its's worth it and a well-spent, then so be it. And here they are, almost completed. 💙
Sis' snacks for F2F classes.
Buying school necessities was finally done. It's time to buy her snacks~
I have a box of grape-flavored Jr. fruit drink, pack of Cream-O, and butter coconut. And, some junkfoods and noodles for stocks.
Zavina's birthday cake.
My happy pill, Zavina, turned two-years old yesterday (03.10.22) and like what I promised her, I bought her a Red Ribbon cookies and cream cake for PhP 595.00 ($11.36).
Here is how it looks. It was the same to the cake of @kingofreview's Father on that very same day. And, I was so glad that our cousin do liked it.
Payment for bed foam.
Last 01.27.2022, Mama's boss sold this Uratex bed foam to me for 2000 pesos ($38.17) and for installment.Actually, I won't get it talaga but she's so persistent so I just say "okay!" to finish the talk.
And just today, I gave the payment to Mama and asked her to give it to her boss. Finally~ no debt to think off. This will be the last na talaga, she's just so mapilit lang kasi talaga.
In that PhP 3500.00 ($66.59), I had spent 3408 pesos and only left with PHP 92.00 and now? It's all gone, hayst. Kabilis lang, huhu.
Now, let's proceed to another one. Last 03.19.22 (11:09AM), I received a text message from our Officers-In-Charge in the municipal hall that the payout for our scholarship allowance for second semester (AY 2021-2022) will be distributed by today, 03.21.22.
And so, I did go. After more than two hours, I finally got it and it exceeds my expectation that I'll just receive around PhP 1K-1500 for three months. But, acckkk! I was given a cash worth of 3000 pesos ($57.25). Higher than the usual PhP 2500 for five months, 500 pesos per month. One reason why, nagpapalakas sa eleksyon. Hehe~ so okay, might as well appreciate it. And, here's where I spent and planning to spend the money.
Donuts, sis' additional snacks, and gasoline.
Bought additional snacks for my sister like three (3) bottles of C2 solo-green tea apple and pack of Dewberry-blueberries 'n cream. And Nissin ramens, Del Monte pineapple juice, and culture blend coffee for me.
Also, some bavarian donuts for my pasalubong. All are worth of almost 300 pesos but still worth it~ in addition, I gave papa some money for the gasoline.
Borrowed money from Mama.
I have a 400 pesos ($7.63) debt from Mama and I had this amount coz I don't have some barya from my money. I used the 50 pesos to pay for the jumper that I ordered from my friend, 100 pesos for my purchases at Novo yesterday, 200 pesos for Tita's utang na 'di na mababayaran pa, and 100 pesos for the PUVs fare when I go to my errand this morning.
And of course, I must pay it back or else we'll have an impromptu history class later. Yah know what I mean? Haha! That I, basically did this afternoon.
Payment for house rent.
March is about to end, means that the paying for the house rent for April is near to arrive. Since I am aiming to convert less next month, I opt to save and set aside the PhP 1500.00 ($28.62) as a partial for the 1800 pesos monthly rent. So, I'll just think of the remaining 300 pesos. It's a "less headache or isipin" for me, so pushhh! ✨
Overall, I received PhP 6500.00 or $124.04 from these cash incentives and scholarship allowance. My spending? It reached to 5654 pesos ($107.89) and now, I am only left with PhP 814.00 ($15.53) in my wallet. That's not the supposedly exact amount but that's what I found in my wallet.
I may not have a big amount left for me but at least, I got to lessen the expenses that I am and should be carrying and thinking by this day. And, that's what's important. More so, it will lessen my BCH conversions so that's really so great. ❤
Me be like: It's time to spend for myself, so "Hello, Shopee! See yah later." 🛍
