Car-ma

It's been a few weeks now and I'm still anxious about getting a car for myself. You see, lately, the car I have been using for years has been hogged by my mom (well, she did buy it).

Since my mom started working again, now for an all-girls school as an administrative assistant, I have been going to work through the kindness of my dad. The daily (weekday) routine has been, mom leaves the house at around 6ish. I wake up around 7AM and prepare for my day. Dad comes in around 8ish. We leave around half past 8 to reach the office 9 - 9:30AM. I have been doing this routine for almost a month now. It's really getting to me.

I know, I know... why can't I just take public transportation to go to work. Sad and annoying thing is, I don't want to. I'm prissy that way. I can already hear people screaming "shame on you" from miles away. I honestly don't know why that is.

Given my usual financial situation, I don't think I can afford to get a new car in the next few months. I really wish that wasn't the case. I can't stand my dad feeling tired everyday for having to be my mom and I's "driver". Sometimes I just try to look at it this way, at least if he's driving, he'll have less time at home = less time hearing my mom nag all day.

Financial management will again be the focus of my daily life, at least for the next couple or so months. I desperately need to get a car. A friend mentioned that her friend is selling their 2000 Civic A/T at P380K ($7K). Not bad. All I'd need to do is look for the following: P38K ($700) for downpayment of the loan, and P20K ($400) for car insurance. Hmmmm.

Money matters sometimes burst my "daily fun" bubble. They always creap into your fun day just about the same time you are starting to have fun in your day. I am too annoyed. BUGGER!!!
