Morale of 2009’s story: Life is full of ups and downs, I’m glad that mine has more ups than downs
I have the incredible ability to turn “downs” into “ups” – and I’m darn proud of that.
Wallowing in self-pity and comparing misery are things of the past! I’m no longer a child nor am I an angsty teenager… I’ll have to start appreciating everything and everyone…
I guess this is all part of growing up – or in my case, growing OLD.

I wonder why do I have problems getting along with people… Am i that detestable or am I just plain unfortunate.

A dampen mood and a horrible day…
I have no mood for any Lunar New Year celebrations.
I just wanna stay at home for the entire weekend…
But too bad I can’t … I hate it when I am being forced into doing things or attending events!

I hope I can too…

I’m talking about living on 300 bucks for a month.
but, are there anyone who can live on 300 bucks for an entire month?
if you can, please teach me how.

P/s: I feel like protecting this post with a password but I just don’t care anymore.
P/p/s: I need a bloody part-time job during this vacation.
P/p/p/s: I doubt I can get one; due to many reasons.
P/p/p/p/s: Sorry my dear friends, there will be no more Saturday night outings and dinner outings for me this coming month. I’ll make it up to you when I have more living expenses.
P/p/p/p/p/s: I’ll live in misery even during the weekends… Weekends will no longer mean sanctuary to me anymore; it’s just any other day… WTF that IS miserable.
P/p/p/p/p/p/s: This whole bloody situation is entirely my fault *mumbles on*
P/p/p/p/p/p/p/s: I would like to say that I’m still trying to learn how to manage my finances… but sadly, I fucking suck at it. I guess it’s many more months of misery before I can properly handle whatever money that I, me, myself earned.
P/p/p/p/p/p/p/p/s: I’m a stingy bitch.

For one, I hate having to consider and worry about money but there are just too many factors.

Expenses deducted:
- Laptop loan; I’m paying for something that I haven’t been using.
- Bike;
- Family members
- bills
- I owe my mom money
- Air tickets to Thailand

I’m getting a little sensitive about $ now. *CRY*

Update (a sad one): I might have lesser than 200 bucks to live for the month of Nov. Well, I’m lucky that I’ll be away from the 26th of Nov to 5th of Dec… living off my dad in Thailand will save me a little… (save as in save life save; not savings save) Whatever comes I’ll just try to take it in stride…. (hopefully)

The conversation between Uncle and niece -

Uncle: “Next time, can you please don’t open your windows so big. Your room is so dusty because of that!”

Niece: “But it’s very stuffy with the windows closed.”

Uncle: “Still… don’t open your windows so big.”

Niece whispers: “What the FUCK!”

I don’t have a living room to hang out in…
I want to move out, quite desperately.
The “please” sounded fucking condescending.

it’s definitely my fault that my room is dusty, I don’t dust my tables and shelves very often.
Even if I do dust them, they’ll get dusty the next day.
wtf! I’m just lazy…
