Chaos
Thursday, May 1, 2008There was a time when she used to collect five peso and ten peso coins. She’d put them in a coin bank and after a year, would crack it open and then put the coins in plastic bags, php500 per bag. Then she’d go to the nearest bank and deposit the bags of coins to her ATM account.
Recently - that is, in the last two or three years - she resorted to spending the said coins rather than saving them for a year. It could have been brought about constantly being broked (err, broken?). However, she still had managed to save a few bags in 2006, kept them in her overly chaotic old things aka unimportant, outdated wasteful materials, and had forgotten about those.
And then when she came home last week, she found out that aside from her, her other two family members were utterly penniless, as well. Alas, the power of coins can save you. She rummaged through the overly chaotic old things aka unimportant, outdated wasteful materials to look for the long forgotten bags of coins in order to uplift their situation from being utterly penniless to err, slightly penniless.
Actually, she never found the coins.
Lesson learned? Well, you get to choose: either never underestimate the singkong butas, or be very, very organized.
