My last sweldo in 2003. Tax contribution for the House of Representatives' Turon Merienda.
Fortunately, unlike Abalos, I'm fairly competent at counting and when the numbers came...........Bloody hell!
For that fiscal year I think I payed more in taxes than DisHonorable Tongressman Ignacio Arroyo!
People! Have you forgotten that for that same year, when Iggy Arroyo declared that he was the rightful owner of the millions contained in the Jose Pidal account, he contributed very little in the way of income tax!!!!!!
And to think what I made that tax year was miniscule compared to Iggy "Jose Pidal" Arroyo's millions! Surely he should be charged for tax evasion!! Potang-ina, magbayad kayo ng buwis! Talagang lahi kayo ng mga mandaraya. Bah, makakarma rin kayo...
PA/PR Gromit makes sure our finances are always in order.
Aaaaanyways, PA/PR Gromit did an audit of my official expenses for the first half of this year. We found out that we raised an impressive £4156.93 in travel grants but when we added up all our expenses, we discovered we also saved £910.63.
Without batting an eyelash, we wrote a cheque and gave it back to our sponsors.
However, this also means that at the end of the business day, we are now overdrawn and leaking money more than we can bring them in.......
(Take note Ashley, up to the second decimal place and aming honesty. Hindi kami nag-round off to the nearest 10,000 di tulad ng mga amiga mo dyan sa Mindanao. Sabihin man nilang mayabang kami, hindi namin ginagastos ang excess sa pagshopping sa Gap tapos magbubulagbulagan nalang. Hindi rin kami sumasali sa mga UP student org na ang treasurer eh ayaw mag-open ng bank account. Dederetsahan na kita tulad ni ka Joey kay Willi, kaya ang Mindanao ay parang Africa, maraming mandaraya.)
Because I'm suddenly poor, I'm finding it difficult to concentrate as I can't afford fresh Omega-3 oils. Ayun, hanggang tingin at maki-amoy nalang.
But we will manage. HRO Karl Willem and PA/PR Gromit show that we can still make magic out of the pinaka-cheapest generic malapit ng mag-expire kaya naka-sale stuff from Sainsbury's. There is no shame in poverty. As my father said "Kahit magdildil na tayo ng kanin sa hindi iodised na asin, hwag ka lang magnakaw at dungisan ang ating pangalan." Naks.
In times of hardship, you'll know who your real friends are. I'm very fortunate to have HRO Karl Willem and PA/PR Gromit who have been with me through thick and thin...
I'm thinking of being a prostitute but a cursory check on online escort websites shows that short brown boys with Filipino 2.5-inch cocks are not in vogue at the moment.....Sigh....
