I never thought 2008 will end in a disastrous way. I though being born in the year of the rat will be lucky for me since 2008 is the year of the rat as well. But no!
I went to a friend's baby's baptism in Lucena, Quezon Province one Sunday. I have to go home the same day because I have work the next day. I promised my team leader not to miss work since i already have 2 suspensions at my back. I'm supposed to ride in a van to the bus terminal. We just left the house when we had problems with the van. I just stopped. The driver can't stop the van. So we have to push it in order for it to jump start. Nothing happened that's why we have to push the van all the way to the house which is 2 blocks away. This experience made me feel not well.
I just hailed a jeep going to the terminal. rode a bus and went to Manila, which is a 3 hour trip.
I arrived home at midnight. A friend is asking me if could join them at Ortigas. But I told him I won't be able to join them because I have work the next day. There was a part of me that don't want to go to work but I wanted to because I'll be in trouble if i dind't. Morning came, "Bebe" is trying to wake me up. I appreciate my "Bebe" for doing this. But I didn't wake up. When I woke up, I realized, it is already 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
OMG! I'm absent and I didn't even inform my TL. I'm in trouble. I sent a text message to my team leader and I apologized and told her that I didn't mean it. Maybe I just got too tired, but really I was too lazy to get up and go to work.
I thought that day if I joined my friends in Ortigas, I wouldn't be absent and for sure I still have my job with 24/7.
With all the things that is happening in my life, I have to celebrate Christmas right? Since I still have four thousand pesos in my savings account, I withdrew everything and almost closed my account. I left fifty pesos in it.
I bought a cake, gifts for my nephews and nieces and also for my god sons. All of those purchases left me only one thousand to spare. The clock struck midnight and my mom was singing her heart out using the DVD I bought for only one hundred fifty pesos.
The days after Christmas go by and it was hard. No gimmick, no money and no hope.
The clock struck midnight which marked a new year! it's already 2009. My mom still sings her favorite song and mine of course. I was thinking what is in stored for me this yeat!
I hope nothing disastrous. I hope god will give me challenges that I can overcome. This year, I'll overcome everything and change the routine. No more laziness, no more sickness and no more "Oos". I'll just go and take life by the balls! Balls is what I love and that what I'm gonna do this year!
