So this is what happened...

Remember when your mom tells you to "Try to see the good in everything"? Well I don't. But it doesn't mean that I don't do it. I live by that principle.

When I said that I will learn how to get to RFM through all kinds of public transportation, I did! I kept my promise! So whatever happened to me being a Kindergarten for a week? (By kindergarten meaning, mom will make hatid-sundo.) Well. You know "unwanted circumstances" happen. And by unwanted meaning a hard slap on the face to start the morning. GREAT.



Anywaaaaayyyssss.... Back to the "trying to see the good in everything" part. This is what happened.

FIRST DAY

I was feeling anxious and at the same time happy. I kind of anticipated this day to come. Except for the commuting part. You know how I much I hate DESPISE commuting. But then again. I have no choice. I did myself a little favor. I took the cab going to the RFM. Hey! It's my first day and I don't have any idea how to get there! Luckily, engaging in a good conversation with manong driver brought me good. He taught me how to commute going to RFM. On the way home. I was totally LOST. I literally called my brother, crying, asking me to pick me up. But no luck. He was still at Pampanga that time. I had no choice but to take the cab. AGAIN. I spent almost 500 just for the fare. That's like a 200% damage on my allowance.

Trying to see the good in everything. *nods*

SECOND DAY

Testing my luck. I tried what manong driver said to me the previous day. I followed everything he said. Everything was fine at first. It's just that the hassle of riding a jeep is not so tolerable at all. On the way home, I didn't know that the jeepney ride ends at Mendiola. I was playing cool so as to not draw attention but at the back of my head I was like WHAT. THE. FUCK. I don't have any money left. I was texting my kuya but the bastard wasn't replying. I had no choice but to walk ALL THE WAY FROM MENDIOLA TO MY PAD. I couldn't help but cry. When I got home, I saw kuya SLEEPING. I intentionally dropped my bag hard so as to wake him up. He saw me and asked me why I texted. I ignored him. But when he saw me crying he was like "Anong nangyari sayo? Sabihin mo anong nangyari!" I shouted back "NAGLAKAD AKO MULA MENDIOLA HANGGANG DITO!" Then he asked calmly "E bakit ka umiiyak?" I snapped. "E KASI PAGOD NA PAGOD NA AKO!!" A short silence made everything awkward. I can tell that he got guilty. Then I cried harder.

THIRD DAY


Today, I tried riding an FX. I ended up getting in the wrong FX. AGAIN. FOR THE NTH TIME. I GOT LOST. HA! But at least I'm learning. I have to walk all the way from One San Miguel to RFM. It was a good exercise though so I didn't mind walking. When I got to the 3rd floor, everybody in the office was chaotic. Apparently, a meeting with the head was about to take place. Which means. FREE LUNCH. FREE MERIENDA. LAZY ASS MODE ON. I was very eager to finish all the tasks assigned so I could slack off. And luckily, I got victorious. :) On the way home, as soon as I reached the terminal, an FX passed by. Just my luck. And today, I got more than enough money to suffice for my fare. :) At least the "trying to see the good in everything" part paid off. :)

Tomorrow, I'm planning to take the train. So yeah. Good luck to me! Hope I break the "losing" streak. :)
