The Struggles of a One Time Millionaire

You know what they mean when they say "One-time Millionaire".  It's when you get your salary on payday, and spend your money all in one day, or spend your entire salary in the span of two to three days.  Of course you leave enough money so that you can get to work.  But the point is, you're basically broke for anything else, and hopefully you're not going to have to borrow money until next payday.  

 Well, I know how One-time millionaires feel.  I've done it almost every other payday, but unfortunately during those times, I've been spending on bills, debts and still more bills.  

 Now, I'm not paying for anymore bills except to occasionally give my share to the house.  I'll need to find a house help for sure.  It's going to be really hard to do anything without a yaya for Tyrese, and my mom and I are in constant argument because of Tyrese. I need to be home early, and I can't because of my shift schedule and other things that are going on. 

 But the point of this all is that because I know I have money to spend, I feel like I would like to spend money.  I would like to spend this, and I would like to spend that, and I know that payday is a couple days away, but because I'm not spending anything else, maybe I can buy a roll of cake, or something like that?  

 But what I really, really, REALLY want to do is go out to McDo or something, buy some coffee, smoke about three sticks.  I have to go out in the heat just so I can smoke! I tried to smoke about three puffs but it wasn't enough! 

 Oh here's another thing that's giving me a sort of challenge at this time: since I can't smoke when I'm home, I have to do my smoking in the office! And it's getting really frustrating because I can't! I'm actually craving to smoke! It's pretty hard!  When Haiste turned 30, she woke up one day not wanting to smoke anymore.  Just like she did when she decided she wanted to be a girl. 

 I don't want to find out if I'm going to hit that exact same thing.  But what I would like to achieve is some more financial stability.  Now how in hell am I supposed to achieve financial stability if I'm tempted to buy stuff like have cake ordered when what I really want to do is smoke? Ugh. This sucks.  

 So now, I can curb the appetite to spend.  Now I just need to curb the appetite to smoke! LOL. 

 This for now, more for later.

The Real Challenges in Life

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Cynthia Maipid < cmaipid@gmail.com > Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2012 18:30:33 +0800 Subject: The Real Challenges in Life To: cmaipi.ondgo@blogspot.com I learned in a retreat that I attended that the Christian Life is not a life of fun and games. It is not a bed of roses. It is a battlefield. Man, is that ever true. This I know. I am currently encountering several battles. The biggest right now is my husband. My husband is Christian. He is what you call a backslider. See, I'm Catholic. I don't know what approach to take in helping get back to God. But I was told that prayers work wonders. I haven't been praying properly, I admit. And now is the time that I must learn to do that. I am afraid of that the time will come that my husband and my daughters will not be saved. And so I need to pray for them. I vowed to attend church every sunday and even that is becoming a struggle. I must think of a new way to fix my schedule in such a way ...

Talk About a Million Stress

It's so tiring what they're doing to us. The company offered to let most of the agents go on the promise of paying them a voluntary retirement package.  That's all nice for the agents because whether they take it or not, they will still receive it when the company says they can go. But for the team leads, it's a different story. To begin with, only 8 team leads can avail of the package.  Anyone else who wants to go can go by resigning.  It's so painful because they dropped the bomb on us by saying that whoever wants to avail of the package may avail of the package, and they're not going to limit it just because we've gone over the required number of people. The next day, they tell us, no we can't let everyone go. We can only afford to make 8 stay.  Well, right now, I'm the eighth. And the more painful part? Someone who needs it more than I do ( i need it, too, and she needs it just as much, if not more)  won't be able to get it. Tal...

Because I Can

Well, yes, I'm not blogging because I have something to say, actually I'm just blogging because I can do so. Anyway, I got up today pretty hungry. Considering we had lunch at Tramway. The food was awesome, but I was able to have only 2 courses. Next time I go, I'm going to make sure I get a dose of everything! Oh, and I'll be wearing a big shirt! You know, for emergency purposes. I'm still pretty sleepy right now but Tyrese woke me up, saying that she was hungry. So I had to go and cook some rice. Which by the way I realized that she did not wake me up for food originally. She woke me up because she pooped. well, i'm just waiting for the rice to cook so I can eat cause I'm hungry, too.
