I had my merienda breaks and my desserts, had bet on a monopoly game and went to Starbucks last Friday night with only 500 bucks on entire week. That’s a Nazty record since I started earning.

I am staying at a company house where we are sent and fetched to and from office for free. The shuttle service saves P800 at average per week while the free inn costs me only P200 as I check in all the way from Bulacan and check out back home. But the rest of the amenities of the house are free!

I still eat my packed lunch and that adds more to my savings. There’s a free lunch for every employee here so if I sense that the food looks good and delicious, I take one. Meanwhile for others, they will take one of those styropacked meal and if they found it not nice they’ll dial Pizza Hut number which is of course costs more. But I think it’s sulit still since my P100 share to that 3 family size + 3 free boxes of pizza can give me 4 slices.

Last week is indeed very historical as I went back home with loose coins from my P500. Imagine, I thought Ninoy Aquino wouldn’t make him worth living a week.

I even bet P50 for a monopoly game that can possibly bankrupt me. Good thing that monopoly game, with my former colleagues and love triangle Jay, Kido and Jen (in that order), never ended and no winner was declared even that I was the only one who eliminated. In case that Kido or Jay emerge as the Big Winner and there’s no online ATM around, I’ll have my P25 back courtesy from Jen since I offered her one of my two properties in an exchange of half of the bet which irks two much. We celebrated the stalemate ending at Starbucks nearby Jay’s house.

The next day, Saturday, I bought 2-liter Coca-Cola from our own softdrink store which costs loose coins I had from the past weekdays. Sipped Coke, enjoyed the bum weekend and couldn’t wait for the salary that I can withdraw today.
