There’s something about 15th of the month that I don’t like. And it spells p-a-y-a-b-l-e-s. Hoowwell, I guess I just have to bear in mind that — at least I am capable to pay, right?
Life is tough if you are a breadwinner. You have to consider the rental fees, electric bills, water bills, mineral water bills, and all the bills in the world before you decide to buy the shoes that you have dreamed of.
This domain is about to expire and yes it’s another bill again. Good thing, I earned a lil from Blog to Profit. It’s enough to cover the domain’s renewal and Newmaria’s hosting fees as well.
Unlike last year, 2007 is kinda unlucky for some freelance stuff. Though, I must admit I chose to bum around lately hehe…having all the QLC and whatnots makes me just want to sleep and sleep. And yes, there’s no money in sleeping.
The fact that the half of my income goes to tax pains a lot. It sucks big time. Where does tax go? Aah, yeah ok it’s in the expressways, overpass, city halls, government budgets (?), etc. Yada, yada. Which reminds me of what had happened awhile ago. I went to Pasig post office to claim a parcel (a Moleskine sketchpad from Pinoycentric.com). I decided to use my 1 hour lunch break just to find the government empoyees having their long looong break. I was so pissed. The sign says: 8:00 AM to 11:00AM, and 1:00PM-3:00PM. They already have the 2 hours break and yet they’re still goin home early? Whathe! While waiting, I can see the employees inside walking, bummin around, laughing… Hah. I need ice cream for this. Stress, stress – go away! (I consumed a pint of ice cream afterwards, shhh…)
What I have here are happy accidents designs, free verse in spontaneity, unconventional shots, twisted angle and unsung beauty of whatever-ness.

Tax = ARGH. I hate the latter part of the month because we have bigger deductions then. Hay. What’s the use of having a high salary when most of it goes to tax?
Ah, and I know about the Post Office. What’s bad with ours (in Cainta) is that you get the paper which notifies you of the package a little bit too late, so when you get there, you end up paying extra fees since you didn’t get to it on time. Naman. >:(

Nakupo! That’s true, I also share part of responsibilities at home kaya bago pa lang dumating ang pera me nakalaan na. Buti na lang meron ng ibang ways para makakuha ng passive income lately.
I’ve also been craving for an ice cream lately. Must be the humid sticky weather :P
liz said,
@La – join ka uli, you’ll win din! :d
@Ferdz – Oo nga eh, yung sweldo iniisip mo pa lang, ubos na agad hehe…
