My younger sister made my morning crappy again for the nth time and I have to pretend that it doesn't matter. I should not be affected since it was just a minute thing for the day. Most of the time it's money issues that ruins my day.
She greeted me with her innocent look on her while she was asking for money. She was going to another one of her out of town hospital duties. She recently came home from her 3 week hospital duty from Davao. And now, fter 3 days of being home, she is now leaving for Maramag for a week. Who knows what's next?! It was the school's way of exposing their students to the working environment. Which I detest so much since the cost is very expensive. Not all families can afford giving an allowance of 5k a week. I myself don't even have that luxury to think that I am already earning. And they are just students.
I asked her how much she needed. She couldn't answer. She just needed enough to pay for her board and lodging and food. Duh!!! How would i know how much that would cost when i haven't been there. She gave me an amount which i was quiet shocked to hear. But then i still gave her the money. I was still waiting for her liquidation on her expenses on Davao. I can't imagine how she went beyond the budget I gave her. She was given more than enough and still it wasn't enough. What is enough?
I wanted to scream then but had to hold back. After all who was I to judge that the money I gave her was enough since I wasn't there. She might have had to spend alot due to requirements and personal needs. I don't know. It is just that I wish that she would learn to save. Do not spend your money up to the last centavo. Roar!!!!
