She Works Hard for the Money!

Di eto yung kanta ha. Magpopost lang ako tungkol sa pera. Oo, alam ko iniisip nyo yan paminsan minsan. Laging tinatanong, san ko nga ba nagastos ang pera ko? Lalo na pagkatapos ng payday.

I rarely talk about money, una kasi di pa ko sumusweldo, di pa rin ako nagtatrabaho. Pinakamalaking pera ata na nahawakan ko ay nung class treasurer ako nung 3rd and 4th year highschool. Ang hirap mangulekta. San ka pa, Private School na may maririnig ka pang drama na “yung tatay ko nasa abroad, gipit kami, tingnan mo ang payat ko na” linya ni Carlo na kaklse ko nun. Ang loko, anak ng mayaman ganyan maririnig mo. Di mo ko maririnig na umungot ng pera sa magulang ko. sa kapatid pa siguro... hehehe

Ayoko tlaga pagusapan ang pera lalo na sa harap ng kainan. Minsan naguusap parents ko sa ganyan, sa kabastusan ko nilalayasan ko sila. Sa dinamidami ba naman ng bagay e ayun pa ang topic. Akala ko bubuntalin ako ng tatay ko sa pagalis ko pero mukhang natunugan nila yung rason. Di na nila pinagusapan. Minsan din yung pari namin dito sa simbahan. Kay aga aga ang sermon e pera. “Magcontribute naman kayo sa simbahan, ako nga 2 milyon na nabigay ko sa pagpapagawa” sambit nya. Nilayasan ko nga. Nagsorry na lng ako kay God na sana maintindihan nya ang pag walkout ko.

Aaminin ko magastos akong bata. Pero siguraduhin ko sa inyo ipon ko naman yun. Nagiipon ako 100 isang araw at kapag may natripan akong damit bibilhin ko yun. Typical sa edad ko. Katangahan ko nga lang, hello, 5 times a week akong nakauniform. Hanger lang nagsusuot. Nung nasa highschool din ako e galante akong bata. Di lang sa nililigawan ko ha pati sa mga tropa nya. Hehhehehe. Pamasahe lang naman yun. Noon yun, nung wala pa kong kamuwang muwang. Pero simula nung nagcollege na ko tapos nagaapartment na ko sa project 6 hanggang nagdorm naman sa Fairview, nagtipid tipid na ko. Nakonsensya sa pinaghihirapan ng magulang ko. Pag maluwag luwag ang schedule, nilalabhan ko ung uniporme ko simula Lunes hanngang Miyerkules kasama na pambahay ko at panloob. Plantsado ko na rin kapag bumalik na ko kinaLingohan. Yung di ko nalabahan inuuwi ko na muna sa bahay. Ayoko sa laundry, mahal na pangit pa maglaba. Ako rin nagbabayad ng kuryente, tubig at internet ko. Nakakahiya naman yun, wala na kong trabaho iasa ko pa pangluho ko. Namen! Hehe

Sabi nga nila kapag doctor ka na, giginhawa ka na rin. Totoo yun sa mga doctor na talaga naming kinarir ang pagiging doctor. Pero sa totoo hindi ako umaasang magiging mayaman gawa nun, una buhay ng pasyente ang dapat inaasikaso. Hindi ang sariling bulsa. Kung magiging maginhawa man ang buhay ko. Mas pipiliin ko na rin ang buhay na may katulad kami ngayon. Nasa gitna lang.

Kaya ko nagawa tong post na to gawa ng Nanay ko ulit. Bumalik kasi siya kanina sa eskuwelahan. 2 buwan na lng at magreretiro na siya. Mejo nagkasagutan kasi kami. Sabi ko e hayaan nya na muna at magpahinga naman siya sa bahay dahil next week pa naman ang resume ng classes. Naisip ko tuloy yung plano namin ng isa kong utol na bilhan sya ng oven para kapag retired na sya meron naman syang libangan ay paguwi ko may masarap na cake sa lamesa! Hehehe.

A Wet and Wild Sunday

I was supposed to finish my enrollment today. Sadly I didn’t make it. I have a diarrhea attack. I was wondering what I ate and I remembered I haven’t eaten anything aside from a banana and skyflakes. I’m not even thinking of having amoebiasis since my feces is not nearing the appearance of the actual infected feces: mucoid and has a very particular odor. I was thinking of mild bacterial infection so I just let it pass and didn’t took any meds but I was pretty worried when last night I wasn’t even well yet. I was pretty tired and very weak then. I self medicate, Gatorade and ORS, it was helping but I haven’t drunk any meds to stop the emission. Hehehe.

Well, it all started earlier that day when I was about to come to a cousin’s birthday party. You all know my history with my mom’s side of family. Just as a refresher, obviously we are not in good terms. Well my brother is, but definitely whose side will you take? (How immature of us???)On the other hand I really wanted to come just to see my Lola but I realized I’ll be sleeping in my Lola’s house for the weekend. I haven’t diagnosed myself with LBM that time yet, but I visited the “throne” for like 3 times earlier that day. You see LBM is not really more of consistency which is watery but more of the frequency. Most Filipinos misnomer that. Anyhow, when my mom asked me if I wanted to come to the party, I said I couldn’t and I am not feeling well. Immediately after I said that, I had stomach pains. I visited the comfort room on and off. And when I was lying on my bed, my mom knocked on my room and we sort of, kinda have a fight.

She asked me what’s my problem, why I wouldn’t want to come, that I’ll do that for my Lola, that I can just “mano” then take off soon. Blah blah blah blah blah…

My attention to her that time was minimal cause I’m too tired and weak just listening to her. Actually, I was a little bit angry to my mom. Forgive me for saying this but I know this is wrong. When she was sick, we can never leave her side and we were so worried. Last week my dad went through the same situation like me. And where was she? And she now tries to decide if I will come or not? I was pretty sick and not acting this up. I was furious.

I know my mom is not that perfect, she’s the best for me though. But sometimes you can never ignore these simple things, which some parents try to dictate what you will do. I also know that I’m in no position to oppose her since I’m still studying and she’s the one paying for my education. But I am sick, isn’t that an enough reason?

Moral lesson: do not wish you’ll get sick just to make an excuse for making an appearance!

As of this afternoon, I’m ok. See I can cure myself=]
