It's all about the money

I couldn’t think of any witty intro but all I could say is that sometimes God has the best sense of humor. I just had to blog about this.

‘Work hard, party harder’ – cliché but hey, at one point or another we try to live up to that statement. After having a very busy week, I really wanted to unwind. Go out, have a few drinks to the point you’re tipsy with of course the best company. So last night, since it’s one of my best friend’s birthday, we all met up. Surprisingly it didn’t feel like a weekday. Fun fun night and when my brother texted me that he was already downstairs, of course I knew I had to say goodbye to my friends and buy him his favorite Iced Mocha (that’s our SOP when he has to pick me up from a gimmick). Apparently I ran out of cash, so I decided to go to the nearest atm all of a sudden – one of my biggest fears happened – my atm card never went out. This never happened to me. I felt terrible because how will I survive the weekend if I don’t have cash with me, the hassle of going to the bank to request for a new card and etc. Because I’m human and I guess I didn’t know how to handle situations like this, I called up the customer service and of course didn’t give the best attitude. In the end, obviously there’s nothing she can really do right? Went home feeling bad (with matching sermon from the Kuya). When I woke up, explained to my parents and asked them if I could borrow money just to survive for today. When I went inside the cab on my way to work, as I was about to put the money in the wallet …BEHOLD. My ATM card!!!

What the heck right? I have no idea what happened to me last (or maybe I was that drunk?).

Today wasn’t my favorite day at work, we have our good days and bad days, right? Because of last minute requirements, I had to stay in for a few more hours and at the last 30 minutes I was in the office – my brain wasn’t functioning well anymore. One of my good friends had this bright idea of having a massage before heading home and I think that there’s no better way to end a very hectic week. So we went to the spa and prepped ourselves to experience nirvana. Just when I was in the zone, I got a text from one of the directors “Hi Char, you left your wallet here in the office”. So much for the massage.

Two nights in a row, I think I have money issues or this is just plain stupidity or carelessness.

I know that I’ve been so uptight lately and too serious on things, I guess this is God’s way of telling me to take it easy, relax and hey the situation isn’t that bad because you can still laugh about it.

Now do you understand why I had to blog about it? It’s hilarious – Ms. Responsible and Ms. Career girl gets her share of life’s booboos and can laugh about it.
