Blessings last 21st July 2007
9:49 PM
That day was very much a roller-coaster ride but I'm thankful cz God was there, blessing me when I'm not feeling good. It started the afternoon of 20th when a partner requested of changing shifts. I just agreed anyway cz my work will be at 1pm instead of 11am. twas really a busy day at work and my left arm started to really shake cz of busing. which meant "cleanin up" in starbucks. You need to carry a black tub and go around collecting the plates, mugs and utensils.... Here's the catch. I've been doing that for many times that day until, i tried changing my routine. Talk to the customers. Just so happened one of them, a Caucasian woman of about late 60s to 70s, was sitting alone. Of course she seems to be waiting for someone and so I took the chance of talkin to her while I did my busing. Unfortunately, in the middle of our conversation, where she said that "our son lives here" the tub i was balancing fell off from the arm of the wooden chair. There was a loud thud, and voila! Coffee and tea spilled on the wooden floor. ugggh.... wat an embarrassment cz i saw and i did felt curious and shocked eyeballs looking at where the thud came from. Perhaps, they thought twas a bomb?? heh.. At that exact moment, my manager was doing the bussing too and obviously he saw what happened. Whaaaaaaaaat... i took my leave carrying the heavy load with me and, along the way, the husband carrying with him two mugs, looked at me and laughed. Gawd... but his laughter was in a way of mixed emotions of being thankful cz i talked to her wife and then, laughing at my stupid mistake, bcz, hello world, i laughed when that incident happened and the women i was talking to, laughed as well. haha. Phew! whata relief! (lesson learnt: laugh at ur mistakes. its a gd remedy! hehe) Back inside, my manager kindly told me to help my partners in the store instead. And i summoned my courage to tell him i spilled something outside. He knew. And he offered of cleaning up and doing the rest of the busing. thank God!!! It was freaking busy. totally.... I took a break and oh... my arms were freakin shaking! woo... den another miracle happened. I was asked if I could worked longer but i said i couldnt cz I was to attend a birthday party straight after work. I'm grateful bcz each time i feel tired that day, while inside a train or a bus ride, someone whom i stand infront of, actually takes their leave. =) and that happened each time i took a ride to a my next destination. Thank you Lord! weee I reached Pasir Ris and was already on the line when mom called and told me to get the free bus ride that takes me to my destination : costa sands resort. She gave me directions and i followed them. there was this line of buses at the location where i was directed, i called mom and some how i was anxious too and ran about 100m away despite my exhaustion and lack of sleep, cz the line of people was already long. the bus was gonna leave in few minutes. kept calling mom and on the line, someone picks up and never says anything. The first few times was alright, until it finally got on my nerves. I kept sayin "hello," (anger and hopeful voice) even managed to turn heads walking passed by me... I was frustrated cz i had to call and call, my balance was running as low as 8bucks and then again, my call is answered but no one responds! It happened more than 10times! freak... Called dad and he doesnt picks up I told myself to be patient. Told myself to walk around despite already being hungry and exhausted. Good thing i brought along the sandwich i wasn't able to finish from work. but that didn't fill me. I tried calling again and thank God, mom finally said hello. Ranted my frustrations on her and nyahaha... her phone is really silly, so anw, she told me to take a cab. Ive not much money then. (10 bucks with few coins?) Im really saving. Mom said she'll pay when i get there. Turned out, those buses i saw were not meant for my location. And den... someone smsed me the location of the place. I searched for a taxi stand and there was one beside the lanes of buses but there were hardly any vehicles passing by. So i went around the freaking White sands mall, drooled passed by many restaurants. im still cravin for onion rings from Bk, which, i used to detest actually. haha... finally I saw a taxi stand filled with a long line of passengers waiting. damn... well, here's the good part, mom called again and i kept my cool despite my freakin condition. haha. just so happened there was a family of pinoy at my back. they had 2 small kids with them and a stroller. haahaa... grabeh, dami ng pinoys dito sa spore. my turn finally came and of all the taxis, a MERCERDES bens taxi came followed by a yellow cab at its back. wahaha... my... I was surprised and thanked God that moment. I was really feeling God's grace. This is what i did, I turned my back and talked to them in our language. Told the mother to take the merc taxi instead and i'll switch with the next cab behind it. hehe.. it made me feel gd, (cah-ching! i made a deposite in my PBA!) and esp seeing the 2 kids havin a gd ride back home on a posh vehicle. Mine was good, cz as we were waitin for them to get inside the taxi, i was content with the taxi i chose cz, its yellow anyway, and that's enough to put a smile on my face. I dont need a posh one, just a yellow cab will be more a happiness to me. haha. (even if its not yellow, i'd still switch with them. But hey, thank God the other cab was yellow! hehe) =) Thank you Lord. You helped me in every step. You made me relieved. I love you. |
