A delayed post because my web host was down back then.

It was 11 pm on a friday night and we’re heading home.. from the office.
If you don’t see the tragic irony of the previous statement, then I think we’ll get along.
Hailed a cab and had a rather interesting conversation with the taxi driver on my way home.

*It was a friday night and we’re working.* I amusingly pointed out.
*Well, it’s better having a job than none at all.* He commented. — I was thinking that he may have missed my point.
*Earning a living but blowing it all off until the next paycheck isn’t any better either.* — turns out I was wrong.

Then a tale ensues.
*That’s the one thing that I regret not having done: keeping my money safe while I had a decent income. Well, I did manage to pay for the education of both of my brother-in-laws but still, I shouldn’t be just like this.*

*More than 5 years ago, I was earning something to the tune of 25k per month as a truck driver for Petron. Then again, I’ll usually blow it off with my __barkada__, staying out until the wee hours in the morning going wherever we wanted, having fun, staying merry.*

*But when I look back, I wish I saved some of those money I spent for drinks. Then I wouldn’t be in this state that I’m in.*

and it seems like yesterday it was just a dream
but those days are gone (gone gone) and just memories
(oh oh)
