I had a terrible day. The money that my father sent through Western Union is still with them. They wouldn't let me claim it because I am short of one ID card. See here's the problem, I only have one ID and that is my School ID. I am not a registered voter so, I don't have a Voter's ID. We don't have a car so, I don't have a driver's license. I am not working so I don't have SSS, GSIS, etc. My passport is already expired. Damn it! How could I possibly claim it? They kept on telling me that I should have an NBI Clearance. Eh, how would I be able to get an NBI Clearance? First, my school doesn't require that and I am not yet working. Second, its Sunday!

I went there at about 10 AM and they said all that crap. So, I asked if there was any other way that I could claim the money for my tuition. They said that I should bring my birth certificate and my registration form this sem. I said that how could I give them my reg form for this sem eh, the money needed for my enrollment is with them.

Anyway, I went home to get a photocopy of my birth certificate (BC). So, when I went back, I expected that I will finally be able to claim the money. But, when I presented my BC, the lady said that they still wouldn't release the money because what they needed was the original BC. Hello? First of all, when I asked earlier, they didn't specify that I should bring the ORIGINAL copy. Second, why would I bring the original when even schools don't require the ORIGINAL. Certified True copies will do. Frustration is an understatement of what I felt. Dang it! I was cursing them in my head. Damn it!

After that, I went home. I was so frustrated I slept and tried to forget about it. When I went back to Western Union, I brought folders containing original BCs of our whole family. I brought all my IDs (college lang). I also brought even my expired Passport as well as my father's ID. I mean everything would prove that I am not a fraud and that the money is really intended for me. But guess what, when I went back, they said that they are out of funds and that I should go some other time.

The whole ordeal of going back and forth to Shaw Blvd. was tiring, irritating, frustrating, and most of all, expensive. When I went home, I just couldn't contain myself and I cried. See, here's the thing, I am not the kind of person who demands, and shouts at employees when they don't get what they deserve as a customer. I couldn't stand for what I deserve. I just sit and let them give me less of what I deserve. I am a pushover. Argh! I am not an honorable woman (Please watch Episode 2 of Grey's Anatomy Season 4 to find out why I think I am not honorable).

I pray that they don't encounter someone who presents two IDs but turns out to be a fraud.

To better things...

Couchpotato-ness...

AXN had a one hour special yesterday and presented the racers for the new season of The Amazing Race Asia (TARA). I was thrilled to find that Marc Nelson (model, host of Sports Unlimited) is there and Rovilson Fernandez (host of Game Plan, editor of Maxim) is also there. God! uber HOT si Marc Nelson!

I saw Marc Nelson once in Play Underground in Powerplant. And, grabe! He's better looking in person. Hay! Hot! As in.

Sizzling. Hot. --- Tagline ng billboard ni Marc Nelson sa EDSA. For Kenny Rogers. Yummy!

Hay. As long as the two Filipino teams are in the race, I won't stop watching TARA2.

Christmas is coming. I'll be posting my wish list. Watch out for it. Hehe.
