SO NEAR YET SO FAR

I had a ten-peso fish crackers for lunch.

As the days go by and the long wait toward payday becomes longer as I near it, I begin to realize the power of a one-peso coin. See, it's like this. If you are in McDonald's and the meal is Php49.00 and you only have Php48.00 in your wallet (including the 5cent and 25cent coins you managed to fish out from a portal in your raped bag), that means No Happy Meal for you. And it has been NO FANCY FOOD for me these days.

The bills I have been harping about these past weeks have finally been paid, but not without draining 99% of my savings and of others who were oh-so-willing to help. My dream of having the ultimate bachelorette pad is slowly becoming a reality.

The next things I need to worry about now are the appliances. But those aren't really urgent, as I could always buy cheap food from downstairs and not need the ref or the lutuan just yet.

I find it refreshing, the way I now buy turo-turo food from the building's friendly neighborhood karinderya. But of course, nothing beats meals that are cooked from our very own kitchen (the materials, we will soon have).

This is so exciting. I am excited. (No really, I'm blogging because I'm bored and have nothing else to do in this office)

Btw, stories on the office and my officemates will have to be transferred to another blog lest I be fired before I take my graceful exit sometime in the future. Har har har!
