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...

Everything is not What it Seems to Be

Everything is not what it seems to be. This phrase always come to mind whenever I read a thriller-suspense book or watch my favorite action series – 24. Heroes become villains and villains become heroes in no time in the world of fiction. And although sometimes the situations that stories present are unbelievable, they certainly support a not-so-bad idea that we probably could seriously take to heart. Do not judge the book by its cover, how ever a cliché it could be, is a more common way to put the statement we could probably only relate to fiction. Like onions have layers, the personality of man have complexities that certainly not all men have the ability to understand. Sometimes, we even have misconceptions about our own selves! And without doubt, each person has a different opinion about someone else. Perhaps because of the open-minded education that I was blessed to have, I was able to accept that each individual is uniquely made as early as when I was in high school. I underst...

What Happened to Tony Almeida?!

Tony Almeida's new look as a terrorist in season 7 “What happened to Tony Almeida???!” I posted that same message on my YM status about a week ago, describing the wonder that was lurking in my mind about what truly happened to Tony Almeida oblivious of the fact that aside from 24 addicts like me, no one really knows who Tony Almeida is. For that whole day, a number of my YM friends who saw that status message of mine asked mo who Tony Almeida was. I gave them the same answer. Tony Almeida is actually one of 24’s recurring characters. And guess what, they also gave me the same reply. They all thought that Tony Almeida was some filthy Filipino politician who is involved with corruption issues. I was obviously amused by their reactions but at the same time worried about how Tony Almeida’s character would end in 24. The night before, I watched the first two episodes of 24’s newest season. And for those who haven’t watched the new episodes yet, you better not read this post for be...
