The Rich Man Who Can Never Afford Common Sense

Last night was a tough night for me. Ceasar was having some problems with someone that his landlady owed some money to. I admit it was his fault that his rent piled up.

He was religiously saving money so that he can move to a new place in June. He has been working so hard the whole summer just so he could make the change before classes start.

I can't believe that this person is calling him names for not being able to pay him. Of course, Ceasar was to blame but that doesn't mean he has every right to call him manloloko. I was just listening for a while because I want to understand the situation. I really don't usually interfere with Ceasar's concerns because mainly, he doesn't allow me to unless he feels he needs my advice. But the man went overboard by repeating the same words over and over again and I just couldn't handle it. I spoke up. I usually don't talk back to elders but this man really asked for it. The problem with him is that Ceasar was being honest with him that he doesn't have the money last night to pay them his dues. But he finds it unacceptable. He said that Ceasar should be honest. Now what the hell does he think Ceasar was doing then? Lying to his teeth?!!

I mean, the man may be rich but he certainly lacks common sense. Arrgh!!! Shoot. I'm still shaking with anger just thinking about what happened last night. I'm just so angry last night that I told the man to shut the fu*k up. I don't care how he sees me as a person but I am certain that the way I see him that night is not good and will never change unless he makes me. (As if I care!) Everytime he opened his mouth, he continues to contradicts himself. I'm not really like this, but I'm pretty sensitive when it comes to Ceasar because I know what he was going through these days. That man doesn't know half of what's going on, so I guess he doesn't really UNDERSTAND (because he kept on saying that.. naiintindihan ko naman kayo eh, kaya nga tumagal yung bayarin na to. The point is sino bang may gusto na may utang siya lalo na sa taong maanghang magsalita? The house is like hell, the owner and that man don't care about what is happening with the tenants. Fu*k them!!! I swear this will not happen again, to me or to Ceasar or to anyone that I care about. I will definitely show them that we will not trade our dignity and integrity for P5000. Hey I know it's a lot of money these days but I don't want to make my world smaller and my dignity worthless just for that. UUuugh, some people just lack common sense.

In the end, I lend Ceasar P2000 so that we can get him off our backs, even for a while. Haay, sa katapusan naman ulit.

**next time, always set your priorities straight.
