I missed you. :) 

I’m back. 

I’ll use you again :) 

Nothingness. 

Maybe if I was any prettier, you’d see me for who I really am. 

Today is my enlistment/enrollment day at school, So here’s what happened. I followed the procedure blah blah blah all that stuff. When it comes to the accounting office, i was being served by this BITCH. She’s totally rude and i was totally nice to her. In our country, we use the Peso currency to pay. $1.00 is equal to P43.22 I had to pay $3,600.00 for my tuition fee and $4,700.00 for my brother’s That’s a total of $7,900.00 right? so here’s what happened. I gave her $8000.00 She gave me $600.00 back and i thought isn’t it supposed to be a $100.00 change only? but i didn’t say it out loud. I had a feeling she was computing it wrong and all but i was also confused ‘cos she told me to come back tomorrow to get back my change of $40.00 I was like WOW!! she returned my $600.00 and i get $40.00 MORE?! haha I was thinking oh fine, be a bitch to me I GET MONEY. She gave me back my credit card and cash in a very rude way!! I stormed out of that room afterwards. 

When I got home, I started computing. Me and my mom kept thinking was there a rebate? Cos she returned too much money!! $600.00’s equivalent to Pesos is P25,932.00 (That’s waay too much money) So we left it as it is. Cos HEY! It’s our gain and their loss! but my mom told me, let’s put this money aside cos obviously the school would contact me sooner or later, So we did. 

……

After a while, my Phone was buzzing! It has 5 missed calls and then my phone rang again. Guess who it was?? YES. It’s that rude clerk at the accounting office at our school. She was like

Clerk: Hello?? helloo?? Is this Miss Janelle??

Me: YES. WHY?

Clerk: Do you remember me? I’m miss christine!! I was the one at the cashier earlier today! I served you remember?

Me: uhmmmmm… (in my head i was thinking OH! THE BITCH?!) 

Clerk: The one you paid dollars to!

Me: Oh yeah Why what’s up.

Clerk: You underpaid miss, you paid me $7,400.00 instead of $8000.00

Me: I know that, i realized that when i got home, and I don’t owe you $600 bucks. I only owe you $500.00

Clerk: Oh! please wait! let me compute!

Me: Okay

Clerk: Oh that’s right! So can you please come back to school and pay?

Me:….(Mom in the background: NO! You’re not going back to school! Not until school starts again!!!) 

Me: Can’t go there today, you have to wait until school starts

Clerk: Okay! sure sure! so you’ll pay the $500.00 ?

Me: Yes.

Clerk: THANK YOU SO MUCH!! AND I’M SORRY!! $500.00 IS EQUIVALENT TO MY 2 MONTH SALARY!!!!

Me: OKay, alright, you’re welcome, Gbye

*Hangs Up*

She was being a total bitch to me earlier and just later today she called me begging because the admin of our school is asking her to pay the amount cause it’s her fault.

there’s a lesson learned for the both of us. DON’T BE A BITCH. I admit, there are times that I’m a total bitch but i always make sure that i get the job right. 

So I’m also Sorry to you Miss. >:)

Karma’s a bitch.
