Aha. And again, I strike back.

I went out at 2:00p to deposit some money in my dormant savings account in the bank in front of our village (Planter's Bank). After depositing a sum of P10,000 I learn that I got approx P800 deducted because my account was inactivve for one whole year. Yeah, I didn't care to put money in it haha. So that's P100 deducted from my bank account every month since this December, and subtract the little P10+ interest I get every month.

After that I went to go rent a computer at an internet cafe in the mall because I still haven't obtained a new hard drive. I will soon though. So don't fret, my beloved AoaCD (awaseedee, adventures of a cultured dirtbag... hahaha) followers (as if I have any!) for I will be able to update thrice a day, being the no-life I am, like before. But seriously, thanks to all the people who've been supplying page hits to my small space online.

I finally gave in and signed up for membership at Netopia by the way since I've been frequenting it so much ever since my computer fried on me anyway. For P200 I get three internet hours free and discounted computer use, printing and scanning discount. So, after that I print out some International Student Financial Aid Information form from College Board and head to National Bookstore to go look around for some potential books to give as gifts. And then I had my printed forms photocopied at the same book store at a scandalous price of P1.50 per page. I didn't know it was that expensive. Really. Compare it with the usual copy charges.

After that I head to Starbucks after much debating with myself. You see, I lost my Starbucks promo card. I already had 4 stickers in there. About 17 more drinks to go before I get my free year 2005 planner. I decided I wanted some anyway so bought without the card. So I stand beside the drink claim spot on the counter thing and got greeted by the guy at the cashier last Tuesday. The girl at the cashier during their first opening (last Sunday) was there too. And I made two new friends, Angela and Carlino (not sure... hehe Oh well, Angela said I should just call him Hero...? I hate having almost-defective hearing haha.) So I stood there. There were no seats inside so I had to wait for my drink before I went to sit outside. We chatted a little. They're fun and really kind.

And then I sat outside and tried to fill up some parts of the Financial Aid form. And since I ordered a cold drink my fingers started to go cold. And we arrive back here at the net cafe, with my drink still not finished, my fingers with frost bite and me telling what happened so far.

I got a new promo fill-up-with-stickers card by the way. Meaning I can go get that caramel frap my sister asked me to buy.

Damned frost bite.

I should've gotten another caramel machiatto instead.
