OPPORTUNITY COST
The cost of an alternative that must be forgone in order to pursue a certain action. Put another way, the benefits you could have received by taking an alternative action.
Example: The opportunity cost of going to college is the money you would have earned if you worked instead. On the one hand, you lose four years of salary while getting your degree; on the other hand, you hope to earn more during your career, thanks to your education, to offset the lost wages.

Err. Define TIRED. What a day.
Excuse me for writing in TAGalog-EngLISH language but I'm not in the mood to blog everything in English.
Naguguluhan na ko!
Haay. I went to Congress for my OJT but then the personnel told me that they already have trainees and not accepting anymore.
So disappointed, sad and empty minded I walk through the overpass of Quezon City without thinking for my next destination.
Suddenly, I remember “may cellphone pala ko” Ahaha! I texted my friends where are they. Ayoko naming sayangin yung araw ko ng ganun lang.
Gandhi (one of my classmate) replied and said that they will go to National Statistic Office in Pureza, Sta. Mesa. Immediately I went there. Luckily, earlier I told Ren (another classmate) to include my name on the NSO recommendation letter.
At the said office the four boys: Gandhi, Ren, Jejo and Reniel chosen me to be the representative to go up in the HRMS. And the rest was history.
We got the job. On the “Economic Indices and Indicators Division, BUT.
Err.We will work as an encoder?! WTF?
At some point I know, OJTs’ of course, sa pinakamababa ka magsisimula, pero. Haay
Disappointment.
Disappointed.
I wasn’t able to make it on Congress and Senate. Damn. That’s the result of being sluggish at home. Ayun. Tamad kasing kumilos at mag-ayos ng mga papers.
When I got home, I checked my mail. Senator Pia Cayetano’s office replied on my mail. They notify me that they acknowledge my message and instruct me what to do.
Now, I’m wishing. The hell I’m longing that they will reply as soon as possible for an interview. But as of now, my future depends on the National Statistics Office.
Now Im confused. Should I look for new agencies or not? Should I wait for Senator Pia's reply or not? Which is which?
Lesson:
Prepare. Think and be prepared. As soon as possible attach and prepare everything you need. Avoid cramming in submitting requirements.
Lesson Learned!
