a wretched week...

There are factors to ruin one's week. In my case, there are 3 things (so far!) that ruined this week:

1. My broken tooth!
While I was eating lunch last Monday, I suddenly felt a gap between my teeth. When I looked at the mirror, much to my surprise (and horror), a part of one my front tooth is gone! How or why, I do not know! I quickly texted friends and asked them about it! To think that I have to go out that day to pay my remaining tuition balance in Trinity College! Arrrrggghh. I tried to take pictures to make fun of myself, but when I saw the pics, it wasn't funny at all... it was horrible!!!

2. The BIG RAIN (Tuesday night)
The plan was, we were going to Duty Free because my mom just got back from Indonesia. My dad wanted to come with us so the arrangement was, after my mom's office hours, she'll go back home to fetch my sister and my dad. I, on the other hand, was to go to Trinity College again... after which I will go to my mom's office. Since I finished up late, I decided to call my mom and tell her that I'll go home nalang para dun nalang mag-kitakita. She SAID "Ok". So when I got to Batasan, the BIG rain dropped (which flooded some of the areas in Metro Manila)! I stayed for almost 30 minutes on one corner just to let the rain pass. It wasn't stopping, and I had to get home because they might be waiting for me. So sumugod na ako sa ulan! When I got home, guess what! Hindi pala tuloy yung lakad! And no one even told me! Remember I called my mom earlier on her cellphone, well she didn't even said a thing about the sudden change of plans! That was enough to me make lose my temper! I was so wet, cold, and drenched with water... but my head was hot as hell!!! It's ok now between my mom and me. It was a simple misunderstanding and she apologized.

3. The stupid TRINITY COLLEGE accounting/registar system
Since I cross-enrolled in Trinity College, I need a certification from them that I did study there. So that's what my target was, that day. I went there, missing a part of my front tooth and all, thinking that it will only take a short time. Much to my surprise, the line was loooooooonnnngggg!!! It happens that it was enrollment time for the Trinitians! So I queued up at the end of the long line... until I finally got to the cashier after 3 hours! Thinking about those guys who let their friends make "singit" to the line just makes me mad! "There, I paid my balance!", I said to myself. Off I go to the registrar! When I got there, the woman told me that I need to fill up a form... then I have to pay in the CASHIER!!!! AGAIN!!!!!!! Bullshit!So I just went out of the school premises before cursing anyone of those school employees! I decided to just come back the next day.

So, Tuesday came and there I am again. Still missing a part of my tooth and all. I, again, queued up in another looooonnnnggg line of enrollees. After paying up for the form, I asked the cashier if I needed to accomplish anything pa. She told me ok na raw! I finished this time by 5:30pm. I ran up fast to the registrar... and much to my annoyance, IT WAS ALREADY CLOSED! "Putangina! Babalik na naman ako bukas!", I exclaimed! I don't care whoever heard it, I was pissed! Since it was late, I hurried back home. Like I've said, this is the day when we're supposed to go to Duty Free! And then the rain fell and all... and you know the rest!

Now, today, it is Wednesday! I told myself, third time's the charm! At least this time I won't have to line up in the cashier's booth, I thought. When I gave the woman employee my form, she told me: "Kulang ng pirma!" Punyeta! Eh sabi sakin nung cashier ok na raw at bumalik na raw ako sa registrar! Much to my relief, the woman told me that I only need to go to the Accounting office! A big sigh of relief! When I got to the accounting, she delivered the BIGGEST punchline of this whole sick joke! After one week pa raw pwede since I only paid my balance this Monday with a bank check! Eh putangina naman, dapat sinabi na nila lahat yun nung Monday pa lang di ba!?

So I went back to the registrar to ask the lady if she can process my certification na para isahan nalang since I had to wait for a week before I can come back! I pleaded her and told her I was in here for three days straight just to accomplish this. Aba! Nagtanong pa kung bakit raw ako pabalik balik! Gusto pa atang makipag kwentuhan! Mukhang naaliw ata sa akin kasi mukha na akong kawawa! Bwiset! And since I'm bungi (missing a tooth) right now, I'm not in the mood to speak up since I don't want to catch anyone's attention because of my tooth! She told me that she can't do anything about it since the clearance is really needed, specially in my case whose a cross-enrollee. Another failure.

Off I go with my mouth covered. I went to the gym instead and took out my frustration there. I just hope my workout would ready me for the upcoming body baring this Saturday when we go to Club Manila East for a day of swimming with my college barkadas! Haaay! I just hope there won't be a "reason number four" here tomorrow after I go to the dentist to fix my tooth! ;p
