All worth it

"7/24/07: Life really is unpredictable. They say that there are three types of people. People who watch things happen, those that sit around and wonder what happened and the ones that makes things happen. Of the three, I can say that I am the latter with this situation... "

It's my day-off, and I have a busy schedule ahead. I have a to make a consultation to my dermatologist (my cousin) for my nose, drop by to mySungit because she's sick, and hopefully make a last stop to meet a long time friend who just came from Thailand, eThel. Not much for a day huh.

Having barely a four hour sleep, getting up was never easy. But then again, got to move! After a quick fix of myself, first task needed to be done. I have previously texted my cousin to have my name listed on the patients list since he works on the same building where the clinic is located. However, I got too early and its lunch break, so I decided to visit the studio where he works. Nice office. Saw some of their equipment, and my desire for photography was enliven once again.

Break time was over and hurriedly I went on the second floor. I am the only patient. Good. Waiting patiently, since the doctor is having a brief meeting. By the way, the clinic has a new face due to the recent renovation. For about thirty minutes of patiently waiting and starring at the ceiling, my name was called. My checkup took more or less than three minutes only, since my visit was more of the monitoring on the progress of my medication.

Since my checkup did not took so long and still got some plenty time, I decided to have my hair cut. Walking towards the terminal, I was scanning the place, hoping to find some fresh fruits. Unfortunately, I found none. So I decided to just purchase the fruits in the grocery.

After a quick metamorphosis, I hurriedly went to the grocery. I was carried away to see the bunch of fruits available. According to myPsyche, citrus is the way to go. Basic would be apples, grapes and oranges. Roaming around, I finally decided to have apples, grapes and peaches. OK, I have a new problem now. I do not know how to pick the the sweet ones. Thanks to mr.Assistant for helping me select the best picks.

I made a call to mySungit just to make sure it would be okay to visit her. Nice to hear, her voice sounds fine, which is a good indication that she's feeling better.

After paying the goods, my feet just carried me to the department store. I knew I have to buy something here. Lightning struck and I remembered. Umbrella! Why? The reason mySungit got sick was because she got wet in the rain. Prevention is better than cure as i believe. So asking each sales person where the umbrellas are located, finally I got one. Have to say my thanks to the accomodating saleslady...thank you for the service with a =)

Got what I needed and I am set to go. I took the ride which will take the expressway. The trip did not took so long and before I knew it I am already at the other side of the world =) One more hop and I'm there! However, I am to face a new challenge. Traffic. I'm caught in rush hour. My patience level increased 2 points with this struggle.

At last, I'm at their street corner! Now, just needed to text her to inform I already arrived. A few minutes later, she came. I can't help but noticed that she look kinda pale. I guess she's still recovering from her sickness. Their home is a walking distance from the street corner. However, with her current status, I suggested that we ride the tricycle. She insisted, and said that we rather walk on the way. The place looks familiar to me since a former co-worker lives nearby.

Two angels. They are the first thing I saw upon entering to their home. Such a manifestation of God's power and beauty. Then the warm welcome of her mom, which never fails.

Time went by with our unending stories and stories of others (yikes!). Then suddenly, I am silent. Just smiling. Thinking. Asking. Why am I here? Life really is unpredictable. They say that there are three types of people. People who watch things happen, those that sit around and wonder what happened and the ones that makes things happen. Of the three, I can say that I am the latter with this situation...

BigBrother is up. Just a background info, he's my former supervisor and the brother of mySungit. We have the same shift of work, making the night day. I guess he's just about to prep himself to work. Actually I never knew how I would greet him. "Coach!", while tossing my clutched fist over his. Way Cool! That's how I can describe our encounter. Now that he have seen me, hmmm (you think next).

Checking on my cell phone, one message received. I just remembered then that I still have a third task to fulfill. To refresh you, it's my friends who just came from Thailand. Opening the message, it was my other friend, madamG, informing me that the meeting was canceled. No reason was provided. So I just texted eThel to ask what happened. She had a stomachache and decided to just go home to have some rest. So sweet of her though, she said that she left a T-shirt for me and ask madamG to keep it for a while until we meet again.

End of the day again, and its nice to know most of my task scheduled were fulfilled...all worth it.
