so finally i got my christmas bonus. it's been two days after -- as wished for, i bought myself a "sony" discman from quiapo for 1.7k plus 2 mp3 discs and 3 porn vcds (hehe! i realized i get turned on more with straight porn than m2m; it's a lot wilder and noisier! lolz!); 1k went to my mother who waited for me to come home the day the money was given (she received her bonus the same day; the schedule for the distribution of the money among state workers nationwide was announced on tv); another 1k would have to be allocated for our electricity and water bills (after, again, my mother recited to me all her burden).
fortunately, there's still some decent cash left. here comes a text message from fitness first advising me about my delinquency with my fees. i was told when i called the gym that they cannot charge the fees to my card anymore. so, now i'm thinking of using part of what's left in my money to lighten my card dues, which i've yet to find a way how to deal with and still stay sane in the process.
hopefully, the christmas spirit would soon take over me so that i can start my gift shopping this early while there's still some spare cash. last year i wasn't able to give presents to my officemates, not even to my boss, when i received gifts from them. also, i want to give my odder friends gifts.
i'm keeping my fingers crossed as talks abound about extra monetary incentives coming our way this holidays. who knows, i might be able to afford getting myself a new phone. ;)
oh well, christmas, no matter what -- crisis or no crisis, with someone special or alone yet again -- is supposed to be merry.
