Day 1

Perhaps most of us want to start the day... or month right. On the other hand, as much as we want it to be, we don't really know what would stake and happen within the day.

Yesterday, august 1, 2011 is one of the most unforgettable day for me, why..? Well... This how it goes...

I’m not really woke up at the wrong side of the bed but i am in a hurry to press my uniform (i missed to do this the night before because i was homed late from tramway)... And cook some breakfast. But... when I’m on my way to office.. I have realized that I left my phone... Though this is not new for me but I was so concerned because I need to contact Kuya Zaldy to update the status of the ongoing Marilao’s Project. On the other hand, I didn't go back but instead headed to the office.

The day went well... Good... Queries were fixed...though there some pending activities but i believed these are bearable for tomorrow.

Before went home, I've decided to buy some groceries. I was about to dine at Liza's or Janets but I've decided to go home instead because I'm craving for some fried veggies, egg and tocino for dinner.

I was at my doorstep and trying to open my door, but the knob was stacked... The key malfunctioned... About 20 minutes of calm-wrestling in the stacked-knob... with an empty stomach... exhausted... no cp... patience is killing me... So I stop and leave behind. Though feeling defeated, I chose to be calmed... I wiped-out my sweat around my face, neck and arms... Put my groceries bags on one side... and walked- out.

Taking a tricycle ride... I went to Janets, fed my tummy and create a plan what to do next. Janet's bbq, chopsuey and gulaman saved my exhausted body.

About 10-15 minutes of rest, I've decided to go home again believing that the knob was bump... push a little enough to function now the key. But it’s not. Well, we cannot have everything... so go with the Plan B. With the feeling of distress, I leave again and took the way going to Mac/Ms My's place to get some help.

It’s good to see Mac & Ms. My again... A feeling of relief came while talking to both of them. It's been a few months since our last meeting. It’s nice to see Ms. My at her months of pregnancy.

No choice... No matter how tough it is, after 10 minutes of smashing, thanks to Mac's help, the unbreakable knob broke... at last… able to get inside and have some rest.

What a tiring day... After battling with such unwanted situations, time to rest and reflect into it.

Situations like these could be a way to treat ourselves... Could also be a way to reconcile with friends... Could also be a way to reflect on things... Is this really a good way to start the week and month right?

Sometimes, we may face such unwanted and unpleasant situations; I believe it's not really true that we don't have a choice but to feel mad about it. Yes, we can't change what happened but we have the options and can do something different about it. Testing our patience could kill us but self-control could keep us on track. At times, feeling of exhaustion could prevent us to act impulsively because rather than do it rashly... We can choose to give in or give way. Admitting our weaknesses sometimes could give us more focus, relax and the more we could think best.

Starting a day or month would not depend on the things happened on its first minute or day. Whether we are on the advantage or distressing side. All the time, we have our options. Yes, we don't have the power to control of "everything" but I believe we have the power to choose to handle of these "everything". Be calmed, be focus and to think at our best.
