I hate situations where I'm conflicted... you know those that make you feel like you're stuck between a rock and a hard place. I hope I wouldn't feel stuck again.. but sadly, cest' la vie! Well, nothing really new going on with me. The new semester has started and I gotta say I'm glad I went to CIM first. I probably would have no idea how to write up my reports and I would've been screwed. Somehow I always feel like my brain is not as quick as before. I wonder if it's because I haven't been studying for many years or because I'm just not as young as I used to be. LOL. I hope it's the former coz then I can slowly but surely get the "brain juice" back. HA!
On a random note, this thing happened lately with this friend that I will not name that kinda rubbed me the wrong way. To cut the long story short.. I went to her b'day dinner ate stuff that amount to approximately 15 bucks including tax and left early coz I was tired, I didn't know most of the people there and wasn't in a socializing mood. When I asked my friend how much I owe her it amounted to 35bucks! So it was decided after I left that the bill would be split evenly and it was also decided all of us would pay for her share since it was her b'day.
Here's what cheesed me off...
1. I had no say in any of this. It's like I'm being fined for leaving early.
2. Man.. I really should've ate something more expensive. lol.
3. My dear friend... let this happen even though she knew tt I may not like it she didn't speak up. It's like watching something go wrong and doing nothing about it when you alr knew it would go wrong. Why would you do something like tt? Or rather why would you do something by NOT doing anything?
4. I didn't know 3/4 of the people there. If those people were good friends of mine.. okay wait.. if those people were even friends of mine.. I wouldn't mind. I mean... why did I pay for your oysters, salmon, and kobe beef if I don't know you? WOW I'm nice.. I should go feed the starving then.. And dear friend... I don't mind paying for your share since it's your b'day.
5. I have a feeling when I told my dear friend about my unhappiness regarding the issue that she thinks it's about the money. Well, juz to set the record straight.. It's not about the money. I'm juz not in the habit of paying for people I don't know. I really like you as a friend... tt's why I brought it to your attention. I could've shut up, paid you and never ever contact you again. That is if I don't really treat you like my friend!
Ultimately, you can think I'm anal or I'm petty or I'm a just a miser. But I felt that if I didn't speak up.. things like these would happen again. And I get cheesed off.. when I'm cheesed off I whine and complain to people closest to me.. So really.. the victims of this situation are Alvin and Elisa. =p I juz had to pay up.. and like the saying goes problems tt can be solved with money are not problems at all. End of the day it's juz 20 bucks. Although I would really much rather give my friend the 20 bucks in cash than pay for a stranger's dinner.
Okay! Enough whining! Time to prepare to go to class... Also, I really need to get my driving license! Anyone know a good driving instructor to recommend?
