Yesterday, I got swindled by P15 because some schmuck jeepney driver lied to me and didn’t drop me off on my stop as he said he would. So I had to pay extra for my tricycle ride. I actually got so upset about it, compounded by loads of family issues, I cried, heavily. Today however is a new day. I was generous enough to give away P500 to some anonymous person whom I pray is more in need than I. In short, I lost P500 while walking to meet my gf for lunch. Ouch!
With last night's bitter experience, am supposed to go ballistic already. Imagine, from P15 to P500 freaking pesos?! I inwardly screamed foul! I think I've surpassed my quota of bad luck in my lifetime. Can't fate ohplease pick on someone else? Geez! Give me a break will you?? Anyhoo, my eyes are puffy and painful from last night's heavy drama. So cry as I have to on my quagmire, I can't. Because I just reached emotional bankruptcy.
What did I learn from this awful experience?

Please explain how you can be upset about losing p15 and yet "give away" p500?
"time is money," sabi ni bossing... - knowmehateme
baligtad tau...I have money magnet yesterday. My gf give something thru our delivery staff and when i open it...there's a note and a folded 500 peso bill :-)
The note says:
Pls. be healthy for me.
I love the note but I don't understand why she need to put the P500.

@twistedhalo - yep, am trying to see the lesson from it all and to still be optimistic. am more careful now at the same time very frugal. ang haba ng pila sa lotto kanina. kaso nanghinayang ako sa bayad, pang-tricycle na rin yon.
@_yle - simple, i was careless enough to lose my P500 bill from my pocket. maybe it fell when i took my phone from the same pocket. anyhow, it's water under the bridge. lesson learned the hard way. sigh.
@knowmehateme - i agree. i always say to gf that the reason i take a cab is because my time is more precious than my commute fare. so i try to cheat time, by sometimes taking a faster route/ride. but i don't have that option now since am broke. hayy.
@shygirl - how sweet of your gf. :) maybe she gave you money for food, vitamins, massage. something you can use for your health. :) pwede bang pahiram ng money magnet mo? hehe
hehehe...sure pahiram ko sa u :-), yes gf is so sweet.

@shygirl - asan na ang money magnet ko? :D
fire the money magnet won't leave me... met gf yesterday to watch movie but there's a lot of people so we ended up in the grocery. She pays for all the groceries I needed at my boarding house and give me again P500 for taxi fare :-) isn't that sweet and I feel so lucky.

@shygirl - your gf is very generous :)
