Of Carelessness and Absent Mindedness


Having a very good rest from the absence from work I had the night before, I woke up this morning at 1:30 am feeling refreshed. A heavy rainfall is in the background and I thought it was some kind of romantic. Hmmm... I never thought I would be thinking about that word again... romantic... such a strong word.

Lately, I have been inspired of seeing my crush at work everyday. Honestly, he is the only reason why I look forward of going to work everyday. I feel happy to fix myself early in the morning, hoping that he would finally notice me and ask me for a date... such a long shot. I do that everyday, trying to do my best to get noticed. Hahaha... KSP! And today was no different.

So I got up, brushed my teeth and took a bath. I looked for good clothes, well, something that would make me look good, put on some make-up, fixed my hair, put on some cologne, and I was ready 30-minutes before shift. This morning was one of the rare times I could get to work early.

As usual, I had to wake my sister and her husband up so that they could take me to my workplace. And because it was raining, we couldn't use the motorcycle, just like we always do. So my brother in-law volunteered to borrow his brother's car so it would be easier for us. Unfortunately, somebody left the key somewhere. So we went on a quite tedious job of looking for the key and it took about ten minutes but luckily we found it.

It was really nice to go to work riding a private car. Hehehe... la lang.. still hoping to get noticed by my crush. Anyway, I went up, swiped in and looked at the seat plan. I was surprised my name wasn't there. But I logged in anyway, I looked for a workstation and accessed my HRIS.

I always access my HRIS whenever I have time to make sure that there will be no discrepancies during payday. So I did and looked at my schedule. To my surprise, today's my dayoff! I couldn't believe it. Last Saturday, I checked my sked and my days off are Tuesday and Wednesday. So I looked at my sked again, this time at the Supervisors' station. And it was confirmed, it's really my dayoff today.

I was both annoyed and amused. I just laughed at how careless I was. So I went home and didn't even see my crush after all the effort that I made this morning. But I went home, with a lesson learned.. Always make sure that you're looking at the right schedule!

A Prayer in the Desert

We had just finished our pictionary sessions for that day when Manang startled us with a shocking news. Immanuel, or Iman as what we usually call him, the only nephew we have, was rushed to the hospital earlier that day. We were kind of late for the news as my eldest sister, Grace, only left an offline message to my other sister's (Nanette) yahoo account.  It was not really a cause of alarm for me at first as I knew that Ate is some kind of paranoid sometimes. She worries a lot and I thought that she overestimated the gravity of the situation.  Manang decided to call Ate though it was already around 4am Philippine time. I was only listening, something that I usually do as I'm not good in communicating affection to family members, or to anyone if I may say (but it doesn't mean that I don't care. I do, I really do care.) She first told us about the situation, that Iman was suffering from a disease worse than pneumonia, that his lungs were dirty, and that air could...

Pray for a Partner!

I was surprised by the question that my sister threw at me one time, “Do you now have a boyfriend?” Caught off guard, I honestly said, “None.” It was true anyway. I don’t have a boyfriend now. But by the look of her face I could sense that she didn’t believe me maybe because I am so wasteful when it comes to cellphone credits and because I go out almost every night. It was obvious to her that I am seeing a guy. But I told her that the guy I’m seeing is not my boyfriend. He’s just a summer fling. Hehehe… and I don’t have plans of taking it to the next level with him (or who knows?! Ngek!). My sister continued to talk about my love life and as usual, I just kept quiet. It was always like that, I just listen to everything she says simply because I just don’t want to say anything. She was persuading me to spit out my affairs with the guy that I’m seeing but I told her that there is just nothing to spit out because nothing is going on between us in the first place. We’re just going out...

Diaries of a Migrant Worker I

April 10, 2009 9:59 PM Dubai, United Arab Emirates There has never been a day since I got here that I have never wished of being home. I guess the aloneness that I have always wanted hasn’t really been working out for me. Homesickness, whether I accept it or not, has crept up on me and the most important question that I have asked myself for at least a million times hasn’t been answered yet. I am still wondering why God has allowed me to be here. Being here was my choice and I have to accept the consequences of my decision. But unlike most people have accused me of, I am not here for the money. NO, DEFINITELY NOT! I decided to come here to be alone… to run away… to move on… and to forget the memories that have haunted me for so long. I came here to forgive and be forgiven with the hope that when I go back everything would be alright; that I would be able to completely take away all the hatred that I have been hiding all these years; that I would be able to accept things as they ar...
