My Not So Good Week=(

Whoa! Days are so fast that you don't even know that the exams are fast approaching. These days are soo cold, as in cold! Feeling like you're getting chilled every time you went outside.

So, what happened to my week... Let me start from the main cause of my little agony. Okay, let me retell my atm card story so you can relate with me even just a little. It started last January 9, Friday when the 'IDH pharmacy angels' went on our duty, well this is our first time to have an over night duty, a little bit excited and a little bit sleepy, we made our duty, fighting the sleepiness just to last up to 8 am of January 10.

What happened on January 10?

After we went home, changed from my duty uniform, I lay my weary body on the comfy bed and closed my eyes. I definitely fell asleep until about 4 pm . When I woke up, I took a bath and went out to deliver my used clothes to the laundry shop. After that, I went alone to the nearest atm machine, (not in the school grounds), I'm hopeful to get money for me to eat my late lunch and merienda and get allowance for the following week. I feel happy having slept for almost 7 hours but then the happiness suddenly fade away, to make it short my card was captured.=( I asked the guard about it, and he just told me to follow it up on the next working day which is Monday. Luckily, I still have my savings, I didn't starve.

Monday came, after my morning class I went immediately to the bank again to ask about my card, since it is a generic card (card who don't have the name of the owner) the bank will not release it. I am about to cry because I have no money and I need to pay my tuition fee. I call my mom, telling her what happened, and because she's in an important meeting, she would just call me after. I went back to school and then after, had my duty again.

Tuesday follows, I didn't eat my lunch because I slept. Went to school and after the first class in the afternoon, went to the sea port to get my pass book just to be disappointed because the "manugbantay of the padalas" is not around and I need to attend my next class in a short while because I can't afford to be absent. There, I walked and rode the jeepney back to school just in time. After doing my experiment, I asked my teacher if I could go first because I need to get the passbook before the closing time, thankfully she allowed me (big thanks Mam Jac!).. When I got my passbook and the money just for my tuition, I went to the branch where my atm was captured just to make an OTC withdrawal, then disappointment strucked me again, I can't get my money because the branch in Bacolod where I opened my account was already closed and they can't get the approval. (how sad)

Wednesday, the most depressing thing that happened. I went to the same branch again to have a withdrawal yet the same teller who told me that I can't get my card back was the one in front of me, I feel like backing out after seeing her, she's making me feel so bad. I asked her about the situation then she look at my pass book. Here are the exact conversation:

Mahal:"hmmm...la ni xa atm mam?"

Joy:"ang atm ni gani, mu to xa ang na capture sng machine na indi niyo pag ibalik sa akon. gin pdala na lang ni gani ang passbook ko kay na hambalan na ang branch sa bacolod na ma otc na lang ko."

Mahal:"sorry ma'am, kay wala kami naga accept sang outside sa iloilo na transactions kay inter branch ni xa, kilanlan pa namon ang approval sng bacolod araneta."

Joy:"teh panu na lang ni miss? kay need ko gid ang money b" (still calm yet my blood is rising)

Mahal:"la di bi mam ang amon manager, pwede balik ka lang mga 230?"

Joy:"May duty pa ko galing, mu lang gid ni bi ang time ko subong kay may class man ko bwas until 6 and duty ko gid bi subong" (i feel like crying at this very moment)

Mahal:"try mo bi mam sa pinakalapit na branch, kay basi ara ila bm, sa central b mam, pakadto ka sa may central market, may mga raya da sang banks, nd man b wpwede sa quezon"

Joy:"pwede sa delgado?" (is she thinking that i don't know where are the other branches? masakay pa ko bala miss jeep magpa central samtang pwede ko man lang malakat pakadto sa delgado...grrr...*sa brain ko lang na)

Mahal:"pwede man mam, try mo lang"

I get back my passbook after saying a little thanks that I didn't know if she heard it, walked to Delgado while trying to stop my tears from falling ( I really look like a bum, a child na daw kaluloy bala aw, daw buang na galakat while mouthing words that people are looking at me.

When I arrived at Delgado, I asked a teller about my status or case she told me to went directly to their manager...

Manager Vic:"ano tani ma'am?"

Joy:"sir, pwede ko ka over the counter withdraw?"

Manager Vic:"wala ni xa atm mam haw?"

Joy:"may ara, pero na capture sa may Ledesma, kay nag shut off ang computer, teh in galing nila pag balik kay la b name."

Manager Vic:"ano hambal nila nga.a nagkadto ka pa di haw?"

Joy:"indi ko kuno pwede ka otc, kay inter branch daun la pa ila nga BM"

Manager Vic:"ay sa Bacolod pa ni gali?"

Joy:"huo, kay taga Bacolod ko bi, diri lang ko ga school kay la bi didto Pharma"

Manager Vic:"ah, la to pharma gali?"

Joy:"wala"

Manager Vic:" may ID ka da? mahulam lang ko, kay ma e-mail pa ko na sa branch didto, may klase ka pa?

Joy:"may duty pa ko sir"

Manager Vic:"lunch ka lang anay, balik ka lang after, basi ara na, kay basi di ko ka immediate kwa approval kay basi nag break man to bala ang BM sa araneta, ka lunch ka na?"

Joy:"la pa, cge thank you"

I went and have my lunch, oh not lunch, I think it's merienda because I don't have the appetite to eat. After eating, I went back to the bank and there it is on his table.

Manager Vic:"line lang da lihog ma'am kay ok na"

Joy:"thank you gid sir" (with a smile)

Then to make it short, I have money! hehe, went duty even I'm late.

Let's just skip Thursday, let's forward to Friday, last day of the class, attended the departmental mass, have my duty up to 5 am of today, went directly to the pier with my duty clothes on and fighting the cold of the early morning wind. Went home and sleep without letting the people at home know that I'm home, and have my dinner with them! A really good dinner!=)

That's my not so good week,yet let's just charge it to experience!=)
