here they come to save the day!!!
I can’t believe I surpassed this day. I was out of budget, because the salary was delayed (as usual). I have a hundred bucks on my pants yesterday, which I forgot to transfer before I went for today. When I got in the jeep, and got my wallet to pay for the fare, there are two 20 peso bills and some coins, so let’s say I have 50 pesos all in all. Since I can’t go back coz I’ll be late, I pursued. I need 60 pesos for my transportation back and forth, good thing I already have my stored value card for LRT, so i'll just be needing 30 pesos. Meaning, I've 20 pesos left which I have to squeeze for my lunch, merienda, candy, yosi, etcetera, etcetera. When I got in the office, the night shift people were still in, chit-chatting with Ma’am Mariel. Apparently, they were waiting for Don for them to have breakfast together. I said to Tere “Libre naman dyan!!” and she bought me a pancake. So I was able to eat a decent food for my first coffee break.
I was busily putting up a tactic on how to survive this day without having to make “utang” to my officemates or sell my soul to whoever (kidding of course!), when Liezel called and asked if we could go to lunch together. Wooosh! Life saver! She owes me 30 pesos for the cell phone e-load that she called for last night! So I have 50 pesos again, better than 20 but still short. I got my wallet and was about to get down and meet Liezel when I stumbled on this "free bigmac" stub which my sister Shy gave to me long, long ago(Get a free Bigmac at any Mcdonald’s outlet in the Philippines). WOW! I’ve 50 pesos in my wallet but I’m having Bigmac for lunch and an ice cold coke courtesy of Liezel.
On our afternoon coffee break, we had “lumpiang togue”, Jeff's treat, and man, was it good! They day's almost off and I still have the 50 pesos intact! I just need 15 pesos for my jeep ride home, and I can still buy "pasalubong" for Ugin! whudabouthat??!!
F.R.I.E.N.D.S., come to think of it, they didn’t know that I was in trouble and yet they came and saved the day!

"i'm lovin it!" your posts and comments... wer do i get a free bigmac card? libre naman dyan! hehe!

Maria, Thanks. I dunno how to get one, coz if I do, I'd sure get many. It's valid in Mcdo Philippines only, so pag-uwi mo na lang yung libre :)
pangako mo yan huh! lilibre mo ko sa mcdo... pero teka pwede ba sa jollibee or sa burger machine na lang? ay di na lang sa greenwich na lang... gus2 ko yong pizza don eh... waaaaahhhh miss ko na naman ang pinas. :(
Wow! All of a sudden, I just miss the Philippines. Very intersting entries here. I need to come back.
I cannot believe how expensive everything is over there. Also those delayed salaries. Sometimes teachers don't get paid for 6 months. I doubt if the senators and representatives ever miss getting paid. They are probably the first to get paid. And what's with the billboards with the pictures of the congressmen? What's up with that?
Cez, I haven't blogged this one bcoz this issue is not new to us, but we haven't recieved our pay due July 30 as of the moment, how about that? Don't worry, I will blog as soon as it hits the 2nd week.
