SOS

You know your day has gone awry when:
  • you've missed your train because the person on the 2nd flr parking lot decides to call your elevator car instead of taking the stairs.
  • you get to the gym on your lunch break and find no lockers available.
  • you have a deadline to transmit at 4p and your modem decides to retire at 330p -- pffffttt!
  • pinagkakainggitan ka sa departamento mo dahil na maliwanag na pinapakita ng nakakataas sa iyo na paborito ka kesa sa iba.
  • yung kasamahan mo sa trabaho na kunyari lang na nagtatrabaho pero actually namimili ng kung ano ano online at feel na karapatdapat na itaas na ang suweldo niya
  • you need to leave early for a girls' night out and they give you last minute rush jobs at work.
  • you *just* by a split second missed the train again so that you can make it on time to dinner with your girlfriends.

On the other hand, you know that your day can still be salvaged because,

  • the modem actually worked at one time after rebooting and permitted me to send the file before the deadline before it totally and truly died on me.
  • that the IT guy was nice enough to notice that I needed a new mouse and of course, will rush the installation of a new modem
  • that one of my girlfriends actually without notice went to wait for me at the train station just because she thought I might want company driving to the restaurant (so sweet!)
  • that we all got there almost at the same time, had a great time chatting and enjoying our dinner.
  • that I stayed away from ordering dishes with pasta and rice on it (yeah!) instead opting for the grilled chicken with veggies.
  • got home and still had time to watch a baseball game with hubby and still had the energy to pack a little baon (cut fruits, PBJ sandwich, breakfast bars and soda) for him and my lunch (salad) for the following day.
  • my usual snobby cat decides to wait up for me and snuggles up while I watch tv.

I remind myself everyday, especially days like these, that it's up to me to recognize the good (be it minute or obvious) that God inserts in between the unpleasant things that matters the most at the end of the day.
