An Arm and a Leg
While I am blessed now with as much work as I can wish, these past few days is clearly showing October will cost me an arm and a leg.
First, Bea's second semestral payments was due last Monday and my collectibles did not make it on time. Thank God for the Banco de Mamá. But then I still have to come up with that huge amount of money sometime this week.
Next, tomorrow is Nico's second birthday. While we plan nothing fancy for tomorrow, I was shocked how much I spent just for the ingredients of spaghetti. How much more for the cake and barbeque? Even the simplest of fares now cost so much.
Then, the price of liquified petroleum gas is set to go up every week this month.
And finally, the usual credit card bills.
Only one thing's sure: I have to score something big this year just for my peace of mind. My bills are already keeping me up at night. That's what worries me...
Come to think of it, recent events are likewise costing this country an arm and a leg...
The Mexican Standoff (as Professor Lacierda terms it) is costing this country an arm and the rising prices is costing us a leg.
Then there is this term now being used which sends chills down our spine: clear and present danger.
I fear this term on two levels. On the first level, it may already be true, that is, we are really are under imminent threat (be it internal or external). On the deeper level, people are floating this term as an excuse for the scenario stated in this post.
In the final analysis, whatever the reason for floating this term, we are, indeed, in clear and present danger, in either case. Does not matter from whom or from what. And it scares the bejesus out of me...and not to sound alarmist or prophetic...
Let's just hope we really don't pay with our arms and legs this time...
I'm thinking of conducting a lecture on res gestae next time...maybe when I'm not too busy...
Somebody get me vallium...

3 Objection(s):
Prof. Punzi,
Yeah, give us a lecture on res gestae! Miriam is insulting the grand UP law school with her shady interpretations and getting away with it.
PROF ATTY PUNZI,
What matters most is that you make a difference in the lives of your children...
Thanks for all the support. It's Teachers Day today, HAPPY TEACHERS DAY TO ALL OF US PINOY TEACHERS NETWORK MEMBERS!
god will provide . . .
