Unexpected Expense

Last Saturday(Sept 3 , 2005) I went to Makati at the MRT Ayala Station to pick up Berna since that was the most practical way and the most cost effecient solution because the money that I gave her so that she could comover here in Parañaque was not sufficient enough so instead of her taking the cab which is very expensive we agreed that I will just pick her up.

Before going to Makati, I had a good conversation with my Mom and she agreed to buy me a Laptop if I could get a credit card and she will pay for the deffered payment.

Because of that I ended up strolling Glorieta to look for computer shops that sells Laptops on a deffered payment. It has been an hour and still no text from Berna so I decided to visit the Happy Days shop the one that Velden, my brother in CYM told me about. When I got there I saw this cool Ninoy T-shirt, It was sold at 250. I bought the shirt and went straight to the comfort room to change into my Ninoy T-shirt. After that I got some more brochures about Laptops, I went back to the MRT station at around 4:00 and still no sign of Berna so I decided to visit CD-R king to buy some blank CD's since Berna was asking me to give her a copy of one of the installers that she borrowed from me.

Berna arrived twenty minutes later and she said she was very hungry so we ate at KFC again I ended up spending 250. On our way back I asked Berna is brought the installer Ate Ima was borrowing. She was shocked and said that she forgot it and begged me to just buy another installer to replace the one she left at home. And so we bought a MS Office XP at the tiange it cost 150.

The next day I went to have my haircut at the Index Salon, because my friend Velden told me that hair cut there was cheap but the service was good. Compared to the haircut at ALS which is 110 at Index it was only 40 so it was really a big saving and again it was through a brothers influence why I went there, Berna joined me and asked if she could also have her hair cut. I said yes, unfortunately one or the beauticians asked Berna if she wanted her hair to be treated because of her dandruff so Berna upon consulting me said Yes to the one asking, the treatment cost 200.

So that weekend I ended up spending more than what I should have saved...
