Wow we’re halfway through the year wth.
Thinking about our parking situation
I’ve been contemplating a lot*** about renting a parking space at our condo so that my husband and I can enjoy having a car during the weekends. And also so we could invite our parents over when the slot is free. But the cost man. Here’s a breakdown:
- Parking fee is 5k to 6k a month. I’m lucky if I can haggle it down to 4k.
- Fuel is currently at 55/liter on this side of the metro. Back when I used to drive daily to work, I spend 500/week on gas for a 24km ride per day. If I were to drive to work today I’d only have to ride 12km a day lol. Let’s keep the higher estimate.
- If I bring it to the office, that’s gonna run me additional 50 to 200/day depends on where I park.
- Add those to our monthly amortization and we get a monthly additional expense of…
12k if I drive to work daily (6k condo parking, 4k office parking, 2k gas)
7k if I use it only on weekends (6k condo parking, 1k gas)
Is it worth it? I really wanna know but I don’t want to risk it. Minimum parking lease is at least 6 months. I just want to try it for a month haha.
Argh. We’ll see.
*** – by that I mean I’ve been literally dreaming about it. Ugh.
Lord of Merch, please approve!
I uploaded a couple of designs today and is still waiting for approval. I haven’t been able to sell a single shirt since I uploaded my work lol. Didn’t think it would be this hard! Sales today is really more on the marketing and less about the product , I notice. But anyway, still leaving these cuties here para may photo insert naman tong blog post na to haha. Bottom row is World Cup related if you notice. I’m enjoying the theme, it’s like one template can make multiple entries. I just hope it’s not too late yet. But first, they all need to get approved argh.
An ipis situation
Two nights ago I had one of the biggest scares of my life (charot). There was a cockroach lurking in the bedroom when I got home, and when I was about to spray it dead with Baygon, it fckn flew towards me! I instinctively shut the door to protect myself, then spent the next 4 hours miserably waiting in the living room for my husband to come home so we could fight the damned thing together. So scary.
To add to my worries, my dad, who was supposed to land at LA that night hasn’t communicated me with me yet. I specifically told him to let me know as soon as he’s out of TSA and immigration check. It was 8 hours past his ETA and I was getting worried for him. My head is reeling in suspense, at a possible immigration issue, or an impending deportation, or a random check gone wrong… and this fkn cockroach who held me hostage in my own house is just making me feel worse.
Anyway. The break of dawn brought in good news. One is that my dad finally contacted me. He arrived safe! Second, my husband got home and we battled the cockroach together. It was hiding behind the curtains. We were so careful not to provoke it to fly. He lured it by tapping the floor with a stick, saying cockroaches navigate by vibration. True enough, the bastarded thing followed the sound! And once it’s out of the room we sprayed it to death, flushed it in the toilet, and heaved a sigh of relief.
For better or for worse. A cockroach won’t do us part.
So unproductive at work
I don’t even know what to say about it. Uuuuurrgghh. What do I say to my boss when he’s back?! T__T
