i don't do well with financials

well, i already know that i'm not good in handling my income and expenses since i owe this much to my credit card, that i always tend to spend money that is not yet in my hands.

but today, i just happen to know that i'm much worse that that, i've been paying for something that i haven't spent yet! i discovered that i've been paying my mobile phone provider even if they still owe me this much! haha!

you see, i don't give that much attention to the billings that they deliver, i just pay them every month. that's it. but today, when i visited their online billing, i discovered that every month, since august, i've been paying them more than i should.

example, from september last year, i still have a credit of php200 and yet i still paid them php1000. it came to a point that i accumulated php1000 credit and yet i still paid them another php1000!!! wtf! wahahah!

if i have my accountant or if someone handles my finances, naku... i'll be bankrupt. that someone can easily get money from me and i will not notice it.

sana lang, this is the same case with my credit card spending... oh well.

just a post

my uncle is in the neuro icu of the medical city. he collapsed on his work yesterday. he regained consciousness immediately after but had difficulty walking. he was rushed to the medical city by an ambulance. ct scan showed that he has 3 blocked veins, 2 were old ones and a new one that must have triggered the "stroke".

he seemed okay, though, thank, god. he's conscious and he can talk sensibly. but his left reflexes are weak. he can't raise his left arm in the same manner with his right. lab tests also showed that he has an elevator sugar count, 300 i think.

i hope he gets better soon.

this is the same reason why i am not that 100% solved about the idea of leaving for canada. life is short to be spent thousand of miles away from your family, from your loved ones. of course living here in the philippines is hard, with all that we read in the papers, those flash reports from the news. hay... tough decision, really.

kuwentuhan lang

obviously, wala akong magawa kaya magpopost na lang ako ng magpopost dito. at gusto ko ng cake. chocolate cake na merong while, pink, green traditional icing. yung malagkit na icing? yung pang birthday? wala lang.. parang angsarap eh… by the way, the picture above is a cake from starbucks, mango madness, Php 125.00.

nagkakontakan na kami nung bago kong employer. sa may 2 na ako magstart sa kanila. hinde ko ma work-out yung april 16 eh. ayaw ako payagan ng current employer ko to terminate the contract a week ahead. well, that gives me a week for myself.. and the baby.

***


speaking of our baby, 22 weeks na kami. mag-22, to be exact, bukas. we had our 7th check up last march 31. we’re okay. iba na din vitamins ko ngayon, 2 na. isang calcium supplement at isang iron supplement. at nag gain ako ng 5 pounds in 3 weeks time. sabi nga ni doctora, san naman galing yun?!


so far, there are atleast 12 people telling me na babae ang anak namin, while there are 7 na lalaki daw… hintayin na lang natin next month ang result ng ultrasound!

pinag apply ko si jason for singapore. meron kasing nagtanong samin if interested kami, so nagsubmit resume. tinanong nga ako nun nagtanong kung papayagan ko daw si jason, sabi ko, ok lang, if the price is right. pero wala pa namang definite. wala pa din kami ineexpect. basta lang. subok lang.

nung umpisa, parang excited ako, na mag singapore si Jason. eventually, sa isip ko, baka makasunod din kami ni baby dun. at malapit lang ang singapore. madaling umuwi, madaling magpapunta. tapos siyempre mas malaki ang suweldo. kagabi, naisip ko lang na paano if makaalis nga si jason? pano if hinde pa ko nakakapanganak? pano if wala siya sa tabi ko habang nanganganak ako? kung makaalis naman siya after ako manganak, pano kami ni baby? kaya ko bang palakihin si baby mag isa? pano naman si jason sa singapore? mag isa lang siya dun? baka malungkot siya? kawawa naman siya dun. naku.. nag dadalawang isip na ko. parang hinde ko yata kaya na maghiwalay kami ni jason. parang dito na lang kaya kami …

ukay

last sunday, nag ukay-ukay ako, as tindera not as a customer . actually, matagal ko ng plano yun. mga may of 2006 pa. dami ko na kasing damit na hinde na nasusuot, nakaliitan. and masikip lang naman ang bahay namin kaya maliet lang ang closet so kelangan talagang magbawas.


so nun sabado, napag-usapan namin ni ate kris na mag-ukay, pinaghanap ko siya ng pwede nyang i-ukay. tapos since yung commercial stall na pag-aari nila na andon lang sa baba ng unit namin is wala pang nagrerent, kami muna ang magoccupy. pinaglalagyan ko na ng price tags yun mga items ko, nilista ko tapos naghanap ako ng mga shopping bags na paglalagyan ng mga magsho-shopping sa amin.


sunday, nilabas namin ang aming mga merchandise: blouse, shirts, tank tops, pants, skirts, shoes, pouches, bags. me mga punda pa. hehehe. yung kapatid ko, na-engganyo, nag hanap din ng mga damit nya na ayaw nya na, inilagay din dun. mura lang naman tinda namin, me tag ten pesos pa nga!


at the end of the end, ang cash on hand ko is 500 pesos . meron pang mga items na nakuha pero hinde pa nabayaran. okay na rin diba, napakinabangan ko yung mga lumang damit, napakinabangan din ng iba. actually, karamihan naman sa damit ko dun na ibibenta, once ko lang nasuot. yung iba nga, hinde ko pa nasuot. wala lang. kaya, panalo na din sila if mabili nila yun.


this weekend, sana makapag ukay kami ulet. sana makabenta ulet. magagamit ko din kasi yung mga pinagbentahan para pambili ng mga bagong damit na kelangan ko ngayon.
