"That's 190. Keep the change."

So it's three thirteen in the morning. For the first time I slept before 9pm. Last night, after I got back from dinner at around 8, I slept right away. I only planned to take a nap... which extended to well, five hours. I woke up at exactly 1am. I was disoriented and was scared (for a very brief moment) the minute I woke up since I wasn't so sure where I was and what time it was. My roommates hadn't come back yet from wherever. I immediately grabbed my phone and then checked the time. It was 1am.

From 1am to around 2.30am, I was just browsing the internet. Then I got bored. So I decided to count how much I have saved already in my piggy bank. What a way to waste time!

I had 10, 5, 1, 0.25, 0.10, and 0.05 coins. There were ssoooo many of them. I couldn't carry the piggy bank with one hand, literally! Anyway, I was able to count around 1,620++!! very much enjoyed the distraction, by the way.

And then I thought of getting rid of the one peso and lesser valued coins (.25, .10, and 0.05). I ordered meals from mcdonald's. Used my 1, 0.25, 0.10, and 0.05 coins on a 185 peso order. hehe

The best part? The delivery guy!

He looked bemused to see me hand him a relatively huge and heavy plastic bag of 1, 0.25, 0.10, and 0.05 coins.

And I said, "that's 190. Keep the change."


P.S. Of course, I had to replace (with bills: 100 and 20s) the total amount of coins I took from my savings. That's how it works. I really think it's stealing when you don't replace it.
