My To Do List

Here's the deal again for the week: It's going to be like seven Saturdays so do everything you weren't able to do because of work. Sounds fun right? Problem is, there's a catch - a very limited budget. I spent too much last month that it ate up my allocated budget for this month. Damn budget plan.

Here are some of the items in my to do list:

#24 - watch UAAP with the gang. DLSU vs NU then FEU vs UP. Tickets cost 220 LB and 100+ UB. I promised I'd treat them so that's 5 x 220. Good thing it was Pao's UPCAT and so I had to call the whole thing off. How convenient. :P

#17 - wash car. It hasn't been cleaned for the past three weeks and now it looks like the swamp thing. I find this chore annoying because it seems pointless - the weather is just not ideal for it since it's sunny in the morning then it pours in the afternoon. I can't have it cleaned because of the whole budget thing so I had to do it myself. Going against logic, I took out the car during a windy and dark afternoon (minutes before an obvious downpour) and started washing my car. It looked so stupid that a kid walking nearby asked his yaya "Bakit niya nililinis yung kotse nya e uulan naman?". "Ano sabi niya yaya?". "Yaya, bakit siya ganun nakatingin sa kin pero tinuturo nya yung sky? at bakit yun yung daliri na gamit nya?".

Damn nosy kid.

#31 - dispose old office files. I have a pile of old DD's and status reports in my room and I couldn't just throw it away in the trash because of the whole company security thing. The first option? Get a paper shredder! When I saw how much those cost, go to plan B: an old flower pot, a pack of matches then slowly hide a copy of the Clean Air Act under the rug.

I know it would have been interesting if I did most of these ala McGyver.

Oh well. Deep down, it's sad how everything really boils down to money. :(
