money, money, money... won't you make me rich?

MONEY... it's not really what makes the world go round, right? but isn't it? why do people starve, become homeless, or die without it? why do families fall apart with its absence? why do we need it so much when it's really not important?


when i got really really sick last june and july, i realized that money is really a big deal! even with my medical insurance (which wasn't really a huge help), we still needed to shell out cash from our pockets to pay for the excess hospital bills.. had it not been for good friends and a few good souls, i wouldn't have survived that dilemma.. we were almost penniless that time because of other financial obligations and having to pay more than 11,000 pesos upfront is something that was really difficult for us.. and so my mom had to run to her employer to ask for help..


a month later, here we are in a totally deep shit! we have debts from numerous people.. we have a child to send to school.. and on top of that, we have loads of bills to pay! i don't understand how life became so hard for us.. and the more i think about it, the more i get frustrated with the situation.. i just wish we'll be able to get through this mess soon with God's grace (i hope)..
