mercy

i've been a refugee for weeks now. out of the goodness of their hearts (naks!), my good friends have smuggled me in while i'm still unsettled. many thanks guys! still, i am the very embodiment of a freeloader. pakapalan na ng mukha. demn. :P but my current host will soon be unburdened with my presence because come saturday i'm finally moving to this spacious apartment that makes me feel closest to home. awww... and from the original rent of 10k per month, further negotiations brought it down to P8,500! beat that! i'm so excited! there better be no delays because i can't afford another day in this condo. my days here have been a constant struggle NOT to spend my allowance on trivial stuff in the nearby malls... grrrr... but more often than not, i surrender to pure impulse. hehehe... i bought 6 new clothes in less than a week, which is more than my usual yearly wardrobe upgrade of 4 clothes. maygarsh! thanks to a particular store's clearance sale, 50% off on good items is just too tempting to pass up. tough! and i got myself a shorter do so goodbye long, unruly, lion's mane-ish hair. and guess how much it cost me! 1... 2... 3... giving up? p25o for a friggin' haircut! all thanks to my companion's insistence. classy salon my arse. but i'm pretty satisfied with my new mane. hayyyy... it's just that back home, i could get a good cut for less than p100. what else ate away my money? hrmmm... oh yes, going to the movies and my nightly dose of caffeine in the many coffee places that dot the vicinity. grrrr... just thinking of how much of my allowance got sucked up is making my head spin. enough.

i can't wait for the weekend to come... huhuhu... so many things to do by then. other than cleaning the new place, i have to get the following; a good mattress, huge fluffy pillows, electric fan (preferably an industrial fan. lol), rice cooker, electric kettle (kyowa?), gas stove, toiletries, throw pillows, carpet, plates, and lots of noodles/pancit canton! :P hey you. yes you! do notify me if i missed out on anything important or better yet provide me with the said items. nyahaha... just kidding. no, seriously. :D

if i don't hold back on thursday and friday, i'm sure i'll run short on cash for the downpayment. maygarsh!!! the horror! :(( 2 more days... 2 more days that could prove disastrous if spent in malls. huhuhuhu... if you're generous enough, do send me money. interested? just drop a message with your email so i can give you my bank account number. have a heart man! lol.

i sound like a friggin beggar. darnit. hahahaha... i don't care. that's just how it is. no matter, from here on things can only get better and better and better. *im crossing my fingers AND toes* :P

and to think that i'm still taking the first step. landing a good job would be next. *sigh* this is all too familiar. a repeat of 2006. what if i never left? what would've happened? i'd like to think that close to 12 months of bumhood wasn't such a waste, that it served a bigger purpose, even though i'm already a year behind my batchmates. hayyy... i won't be making the same mistakes as before. i mustn't because i can't afford to. focus, elvin. focus.

oh God help me. God bless us all!
