having 140/100 bp for ten pesos

jesus h. christ! i am sorry if it sounds like a profanity. why wouldnt i? came across the net about the ten peso fare promo of cebu pacific for their 10th year anniversary. pinatulan ko and decided to book and buy because thats the catch of the promo. take note that the book and buy is from march 3-8 and travel period is from june 20 to october 18. filipino that i am went on the last day and nabigla sa bumulaga sa akin. the ticketing office was filled to the rafters with people in all shape and size. so i took the queue and sa awa ng diyos after standing for almost 4 hrs. i was served at 5pm na. i was not only hungry, tired and irritated but alas! the girl behind the counter was to do my ticket mano-mano since their machine conked out. my blood was really boiling because she took her sweet time in doing so. well i can't blame her kasi i bought drum roll please, tickets for ten passengers. haha. we are a funny lot kasi mahilig tayo ng promos, midnight sale and the ukay-ukay. as my son who was taking my bp said,"nanay naman eh may pera ka naman bakit mo pinapahirapan ang sarili mo." i told him my boy, its not the price it is the challenge of haggling and getting away with it. 2256 for round tripticket to manila? that is cheap and to hell with 140/100. i went home tired and hungry but satisfied.
