Causing Trouble

This is an unexpected blog post. Just needed to vent out what I am actually feeling right now.

The day went okay for me as I go to different places to canvas for an oven. I am still unemployed and planning to take on baking as something that I can maybe earn from. That is why lately I have been watching YouTube videos regarding baking cakes, cookies and other sweet treats. With that said, I convinced my mum to buy me an oven, blender and probably throw in some mixer there. But after browsing local stores and finding out that a stand mixer is much more expensive than I expected, I called it a day.

Ah! Back to WiFi nation (my house).

Finally connected to the internet again, I started chatting with my co-volunteers in the Line App, we have a group chat there. Those people included there are going to participate/volunteer in a fandom project for the concert of a famous K-Pop idol group. I feel elated to chat with those crazy fangirls. But, It did not last long though.

After an insane chat with new found friends in Line App, I decided to take a shower. The commute around the Metro leaves me dirty and sticky. I need cleansing so bad. I was still smiling and listening to K-Pop music while showering when suddenly a phone call interrupted my music. The number was not registered in my phone book, so I did not know who it was. I texted the number and found out that it was my cousin. When I answered the phone, the tone of her voice was serious. I was scared.

The call was regarding the unpaid balance of my terminated line which was under her name. She said that she received a letter that says something like this:

Dear Sir/Madam:

Your delinquent account with GLOBE TELECOM amounting to P3XXX.XX has been reffered to my office for legal action.

I have been instructed to bring legal action against you as may be necessary, which may affect on your credit reputation and you are blacklisted in CMAP.

Please give this letter your most serious and preferential attention.

Sincerely,

I only got this sample letter here. I think it's similar since the name of the attorney and the details that she told me over the phone are kind of similar. I already paid Globe the remaining outstanding balance. I admit that it took me three months to actually pay the whole bill. As I have said, I am currently unemployed and I am just relying on my allowance which is given by my parents.

am at fault with this. I felt so bad that I ruined her trust. She is one of my closest cousins but with this situation I do not know how our relationship would be towards each other now.

She asked me to call the law firm and tell them that I already settled my unpaid balance and to ask them to remove her from the blacklist. I will do this tomorrow. Definitely.

The emotions are overwhelming. I do admit that I am emotionally weak. I cried after I found out about this and I thought to myself that how can I survive the world when with this problem I am already bothered and curling into a fetal position.

Now, I am stressed about what I am going to say to the people that I will be talking to tomorrow. Wish me luck.
