money talks.

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

i’m pleased to announce that i got my first pay cheque already. however, like i said, it’s in the form of a cheque so i’ll use it to open a bank account tomorrow and maybe get the money early next week. sweet! the fruits of my labor has finally come, and i know precisely how’s it going to be allocated. a big part of it pays for debts, another big part for paying the flat and utilities, and then some for staying alive in this country for the next pay would not come until the end of next month, november.

to be more motivated, i’m planning to do some shopping next weekend. i’ll have to get a rolling chair as my back hurts using this tiny stool like now when i type this blog, and a photo printer to transform my very plain wall into a gallery, and maybe an external harddisk..haha..i even want to get an m-audio keyboard as i miss playing so much, but i’ll still have to check my budget for that. and in the meantime, i’m just looking forward to a more eventful weekend as the past has been so-so, well, primarily because it’s more important to have money for my ez link card load, and to buy grocery for food, etc. my injured knee has been a factor too, i can say, as definitely it’s harder to walk sometimes, and i hear some clickings on my right knee when i massage it. i guess it’s getting better now, and planning to get a bike next weekend as well. anyway, i got the knee injury from a very marvelous skateboard stunt down in the steep concrete ramp. if you only saw it, it was incredible.

in other notes, i want you to know one very important lesson when lending money. do not just trust. lending it to someone.. anyone out there, even to your very best friend, or your mom’s or sister’s friend, is always a risk. you should realize how hard it is to earn money, and that risk, is something not worth the labor you had to get that amount of money. do not just let that fateful day happen, that when you need it, it’s gone. this proved to be a lesson, and i’ll be extra more careful lending money, and even if i want to lend, at the time being, this is impossible. you should also know how hard it is to ask for payback, and you will even come to a point that it’s you who will be shy to get your money back. it’s grealy irritating as well…so if you want to worry less financially, do yourself a favor and keep your damn savings inside your underwear.

PS -> if i’m the one asking for money, give me some, i promise i’ll pay you back asap! trust me.

I’ve only spent a short amount of time in Manila but I must admit that it’s a wonderful land. But anyway, I just wanted to stop by because I’m looking for blogs about the Philippines and found your blog through google. If you can share any tips on things I must do when in Manila then I would really love to hear them. Make the most of Holy Week!
