PiSo at its Best😅

This is a late post... Happened on April 7 (Friday). 😊

It started so early. I woke up that morning feeling so excited for the Final Defense of my beloved 3rd year students. ❤️

I got ready and skipped breakfast because I wanted to be at school early so I could print my grade sheets and submit them to the Registrar's Office. I arrived at school at around 7:00 AM. Even though it was raining (and yes, nabasa gid ko kay nag-motor lang ko 😅), I still made it.

When I reached the Administration Office, Anak Andy and Bae Jojo were already heading home to get ready for the Final Defense. I then went to our faculty office and managed to finish my grade sheets just before 8:00 AM. That's when I realized the rain hadn't stopped yet, and most of the researchers were still nowhere to be found.

So... tick-tock... tick-tock...

While waiting, I started encoding the grading sheets for the BSIT Final Defense. One by one, the researchers arrived—first Andy, then Evangeline. I later found out they still hadn't finished printing their manuscripts, except for Vange, who was simply waiting for her partner to arrive.

So... more waiting.

Due to the public demand of my existence. 😂 I had to personally submit some documents in Roxas City because they were scheduled and couldn't be entrusted to someone else. I informed Ma'am Sha and the rest of the panel that I needed to leave for a while and that we would resume at 1:00 PM.

Off I went.

I waited for almost 20 minutes before finally riding a public utility van. Along Magsaysay, my best friend's mom also boarded the van. Since we're very close, I immediately blurted out,

"Baw, Tita! Upod naman kita? Damu gid kita guro estoryahan ay!"

She replied,

"Ay abaw! An, ara ikaw da? Daw amo gid guro!"

We both laughed.

She sat beside me, and our conversation lasted all the way to Roxas City. We mostly talked about her nephew—our student. ❤️

Indeed, God is good because Tita even paid for my fare! 😅

Thanks, Tita! Sa uulitin! From the van to the jeepney... huya-huya man ko, pero salamat gid ya. Hehehe.

We parted ways when I got off at CapSU Main, the nearest drop-off point to my destination—DBP.

At DBP, I was asked to provide another photocopy of my ID. So I went out to look for a photocopy shop.

Here's the funny part...

I only needed one photocopy, which cost ₱1.

Guess what?

Wala ko piso. 😂

With my huge bag, I couldn't find a single peso! Ginhalungkat ko na halos tanan nga unod sang bag ko tungod lang sa piso. I even thought of paying with a ₱500 bill, but seriously... for ₱1? 😂

I didn't give up.

After turning my bag upside down, I finally found one lonely peso.

"Huy abaw! Muna gid ko ya kayaman!" 🤣

Finally, I submitted all the requirements.

Now I had to head back to Pilar for the defense. Then I remembered my baby boy had no milk left at home, so I stopped by the grocery to buy milk, some food for the kids and me, and of course... coffee for my dear Mother Earth. ☕

As I walked out of the grocery, I realized I still hadn't accomplished my main goal in the city. But somehow, everything became brighter because...

The jeepney driver was cute. 🤭😂

Ay! Biglang naging maaliwalas ang mundo ko.

Ambot kung gwapo gid siya, pero nami gid ya iya sunggad. 😂

So... plus points for the day!

I finally arrived back in Pilar at exactly 1:00 PM.

And then the defense started...

...

...

...

Only to realize...

IT WASN'T THE FINAL DEFENSE.

It was only the PRE-ORAL DEFENSE. 🤦‍♀️🤣

See you again this November 2018! 😂🎉
