I’m sure you’ve heard of this term. It’s either your parents, lola’t lolo. Friends who think you’ve done something that meris a return.

I’ve had a lot of karma (both good and bad) ever since I moved here in the condo and this morning seems to be top ranking bad karma.

Why so? Well, I was doing my grocery shopping yesterday with my cousin PJ and there’s one particular item that the cashier forgot to punch in. Realising it, we just didn’t mind it. I mean, it’s only Php200. Nevertheless, We went home and PJ had to meet the seller of his 1GB Ipod Shuffle that needs to be replaced. Lo and behold, there are not PUJs running along Buendia going to the LRT station. 

Secondly, we ordered drinking water from down stairs since we were all out. I cooked dinner and used our newly bought electric hot plate and fry pan (which costs a bundle by the way) and ate our dinner.

Nothing bad that right? Right… I woke up around 3am and read a couple of text messages I received after falling asleep. I was about to go back to sleep when I heard a loud crash in the kitchen (which is about 5 feet away from where I sleep). I realised that the 5 Gallon water dispenser crashed down to the floor. Water was every where! the entire kitchen floor, living area. I took a look at the bottom of the dispenser and seeing that the bottom bulked due to its own weight (It’s partially edged out so we can use the built-in faucet). 

Worst thing is not the 5 gallons of water which gave our kitchen an impromtu cleaning. It’s the cap that covers the top of the dispenser. I don’t know how much that’s gonna cost to get it replaced. I’m still not yet done drying up the place and I’m as hungry as a dog right now. I’ve been cleaning for the past hour and my hands hurt from squeezing the water out of the rags.
