This afternoon came one of my most anticipated event in this process—the human auction.
I was bought with the price of two hundred and fifty pesos. TWO HUNDRED FIFTY PESOS. I can’t believe I was just worth that much. I know, a two hundred fifty is still a two hundred fifty. But still, I can’t believe that my existence could be summed up with just that much. My seventeen years and ten months that I invested in this world was only worth two hundred fifty pesos after everything that I’ve done.
Yeah, I know. I’m being a little bit of melodramatic here. Haha. =D (I should be thankful actually; I reached the level of hundreds. Nyahahahaha.)
But then it hit me: how much really is my worth in this world? This human auction doused me with that cold reality. All the things that I’ve done—which I thought was already very noble and grand—was just a small fraction of what I could really do. I thought I’ve already done much, I thought I already accomplished a whole lot of things. But then, hey, I was just beginning to invest in my bank of worthiness. My maintaining balance is two hundred fifty pesos.
Reminiscing everything that transpired this afternoon, I realized I was somehow really worth that much…for now. I could and should do more to increase and prove my worth thru hard work and sacrifice.
For now, I’m going back to the apartment, doing all the stuff I had to do. My bed is as usual beckoning me to sleep. But I have to resist. T.T wahay.. (-.-)
PS: Five days to go…

As Francis intimated in his thoughts about Kate, she is PRICELESS. To even think that she has a price is like a blasphemy
