What am I even doing with my life…

What does that look like for you, and what can you do to prevent it @Blackcloud ?

hey @tyme good news!!! I've managed to cancel my booking with the accomodation that I would otherwise need to pay the +$600 with by tomorrow and have made a booking at another hotel/accomodation in Korea that has a much cheaper deal ($25 per night) that fits my budget and also has a private room at 🙂

You're pretty brave to go alone @Blackcloud . You have a passport, right?

@tyme yes I do 🙂

Hi @tyme @rav3n @Jynx

so I told my mum via text message that I’m changing the accomodation to the one that costs $25 per night (that one has good reviews too about the rooms being clean and the staffs being nice) though the bedrooms are private gladly, but sadly the bathroom is shared sooo…

anyway so I told my mum that I changed it to that option and she responded saying that “too cheap is not a good place to live” and that usually the ‘too cheap’ places are dirty and all, and told me to change jt back to the one that I’ve booked with before and I said that I’m not gonna pay over $600 for the whole 13 nights stay hence why I had to pick the cheaper option. She then wanted to talk to me over the phone so we did that, and that was when she told me to not pick the cheap one and to go back to the $600+ one that I booked with before, and then when I told her I’m not gonna pay that much myself since that doesn’t fit my budget and then that’s when she said that she’ll give me half of 600 (so $300) to me so that I can pay for that one (the $600+ one). But anyway, I did tell her that the reviews for the cheaper one were good & that users have said that the rooms are clean and stuff, and then she said “oh so just because there’s good reviews about it you’re always gonna believe them?” YES TF??? Then proceeded to say that that accomodation is probably dirty instead of clean and then I said well it’s dirty and not good in your opinion and then that’s when she had enough arguing & said that if I already picked the cheaper option then she won’t need to give me the $300 from her & that she won’t continue discussing anything like this with me - and she said it in a rude way too. Before that She did tell me to change it back to the +$600 one before. But after our phone call, when I went back to look at it, I’ve found out that all the rooms on that one are all already reserved/fully booked, so there’s that 😛 now she can’t make me change it because that one’s already fully booked 🤭🤭🤪🤪🤪😛😛

PLUS she did tell me last time that I needed to save money so why would she not want me to go for the cheaper one then even if there’s already good reviews for that one then 🤨🤨🤨🤨 strange…

But then judging by how much & what she has spent, she’s the type that isn’t worried about possibly going ‘broke’ (plus she’s on Centrelink payments and isn’t working either) whereas I’m the type that prefers to save money & is also on Centrelink payments and doesn’t work

What a headache lol @Blackcloud

I hope it all gets sorted out soon.

oh my stars @Blackcloud that hurts my brain, I can only imagine how you must be feeling!! Logistics are tough enough as it is lol. Hope it causes no further headaches!! 😵🤞

anyways, how are you guys? @Jynx @tyme @rav3n

Ello ello. What are you up to this weekend @Blackcloud ?

@tyme yea it’s going fine. It’s been 36 degrees two days in a row now and tomorrow will be 24 degrees and raining so I’m looking forward to that which means I can finally head out by then!

btw are you liking the weather here in Australia? Especially since it’s almost summer…

I dont like summer so I’m glad that I’ll be staying in a country where it’s gonna be winter over there cuz I live for the gloominess & I get to experience snow for the first time ever.

i was thinking of contacting Aunt Betty (one of the flight booking services that I booked my tickets from) about extending my holiday trip to a week longer, but I have read that they will charge you a lot if you chose to reschedule or extend AND/or if you choose to cancel your flight…just shows how money hungry that company is…I feel like the reason why they’re money hungry like that is cause the flight tickets they usually sell are cheap anyway so they wanna rip off their clients so bad that way.. so yeah now I’m like I take that back and just stay in Korea for 2 weeks as initially planned I guess…

Edit: yeah, so I don’t think I’m gonna request/ask to extend my vacation since I don’t really know if it’s really worth spending more $$$$

@Jynx @rav3n what do you guys also think?

also, according to the financial counsellor that I spoke to days ago, they said that other than just need to get a job, that I would just need to minimise my expenses so…
