Daddy Learned a Lesson - The Hard Way

Last 2007, Daddy entrusted his money to someone whom he thought can be relied upon. Since he and I were having a really big conflict then, there was no one to advise him that what he was about to do would just set him for a big trap. He was led to believe that his money will be in good hands, and that he will earn from engaging on that "business" proposed to him. He was clueless; and that someone perhaps was secretly laughing her ass off for convincing Daddy to entrust his money to her.

Now, two years after, since that someone cannot return to Daddy anymore the total amount he entrusted, she started hiding from him. And whenever he tries to ask her about where the remaining amount is, plus the profit from the previous ones remitted, she will always say that she has nothing to give him. I, myself, don't want to believe what she said really. Because how come she has a business of her own now? Would you agree with me if I say that perhaps she already used Daddy's money to invest on her own? And worse, when we confronted her about that business, she just threw back at us lots of nonsense issues, as in not related at all to what the real issue was - and that was the money entrusted to her.

Daddy really learned a hard lesson from this whole thing. Although it seems impossible now that we can still get the remaining amount, we're not giving up on that "ruthless" person who took advantage of him. She will pay. She has to pay. If not in the form of money, it will be in another way - and that I call is BAD KARMA.

"To say there is no bad karma is the same as saying that when you drive over a cliff that only good things will happen."

"Slight Money Problems"

I'm having "slight money problems" lately, but I don't want to discuss them with Daddy because I know he'd just feel pressured. I don't know how I had gotten into this situation; all I know is that these are starting to get into my nerves. Although I'm trying to start spending really wisely, I'm still so bothered by these to the extent that sometimes I find myself in situations where I could endanger myself and the baby inside me.

I keep telling myself that I will overcome all these "slight money problems" in time. But the more I convince myself, the more I find it impossible to relax and be worry-free because the interests and late fees continue to pile up. Daddy somewhat knows about these, but I don't want to discuss these with him further because he couldn't do anything anyway. With the exchange rate of 1,000,000 Korean Won to Philippine Pesos falling, how can he?

So sad to think that in times like these, I could rely on no one except myself. Now, I'm thinking about getting freelance jobs again, in spite of my already tight schedule with work and home, not to mention the long distance that I travel a day just to be at work. I know it would be too much for me already, since I'm also 19 weeks pregnant. But what can a poor wife and mommy can do? I can't let these "slight money problems" overwhelm me; I need to do something. And if that something means working beyond working hours, I'll do it. May God have mercy on me and my baby.
