Look What Happened!!!


What do you really hate doing in the house? Well, some would say cleaning the house or washing dishes. But as for me, i hate doing laundry the most. I hate it so much that I don't even wash my own underwears and hankerchiefs. Its either mom or dad who does the laundry every Thursday ever since.

Well, since the day I started earning money...I just bring my dirty clothes to a "Laundry Shop" and have them dry clean it for me. I have been doing this for the past 4 years and I've never encountered or rather experienced any problems about it. Most of the laundry shops I've entrusted my clothes with were satisfactory. Not until a couple of days ago when I received my "cleaned clothes." 3 of my white polo shirts turned color pink. I never had pink shirts and I am not really comfortable wearing pink clothes. So I went back to the laundry shop and asked them to do something about it. They did something but it failed. I let them fix it for two days but nothing happened. So I decided to just let it be...got my "new" clothes which I will never wear. Anyways, they gave me a "points reward card" for the inconvenience which I believe I will never ever use since I'm thinking of changing a new laundry shop. I guess, I'm just really "mabait."
Be careful with laundry shops guys...just be more cautious about letting them wash or clean your clothes. Always tell them that they need to be careful in washing your clothes (although they know that already)
This is all!

The Worst Day Ever


Have you ever had a worst day in your life? I mean, having experienced all (not really all but some) unfortunate things in your life? Well, i had my share just yesterday, August 11th. My bosses, crews from Jollibee and I went to Villa Azucena in Sta. Rita, Pampanga last August 10th. We only rented an L300 and one jeepney to accomodate, I guess more than 25 passengers. Anyways, we were able to reach the resort smoothly and arrived there at around 9, evening of August 10th. All activities were executed as planned and everything went well.


We all had a great time in the activities. We finished all the activities at around 3 am of August 11th. Some went to sleep and some went to sing videoke (Me, included!) We were supposed to go home at 6 am but there were things that we need to fix first so our departure time was delayed. The driver of the jeepney was really in a hurry...but I never saw him check his vehicle while we were still having some discussion with the bosses before we leave.


So...then we went ahead. I thought everything will work out fine but things went worst. It was just a couple of minutes drive from the resort when the jeepney stopped because of empty gas. I just ignored it. Fortunately, we were just a few meters away from the gas station when the jeepney stopped. So all the guys from the jeepney pushed the vehicle up to the gas station. We were all sweating when we reached the gas station. The driver didnt notice it but he just found out that something was leaking from the jeepney. I dont really know what it was but he said that we have to refill the gas, that's all we need. We stayed in the gas station for almost 30 minutes because the driver was fixing something in the jeepney. I was hungry and thirsty at that time.


After 30 minutes, I guess, we left the gas station. I thought again that all things will work out fine. But suddenly the driver decided not to take the NLEX way because of the leaking "crude oil" from the jeepney. The jeepney cant even go up the flyover because of that. So he used an alternative route...I was having a bad migraine at that time already so I didnt really notice which route we used but it was like a field trip on all towns of Bulacan. The driver wasnt really familiar with the route he took so he kept on asking a lot of jeepney drivers in Bulacan which way to go. All the passangers were too dehydrated because of the hot weather, plus one of the crew wasnt feeling well, me having a migraine, and people were all too hungry because we werent able to eat breakfast before leaving Pampanga. It really pissed me off. It was too traffic in Bulacan so the driver decided to use the NLEX route already. Suddenly, the jeepney stopped again because of the leaking "crude oil." Fortunately again (well, even if that was the worst day ever, God, I guess was helping us to reach Manila safely) we stopped just near the gas station. Again we pushed the jeepney with the help of some of the NLEX construction workers (I think) up to the gas station. So the driver fixed everything again and again.


After that last gas station where we stopped, the driver drove so fast that I didnt even notice that we were already in Manila. I guess because of my migraine, plus sleeping...I wasnt able to see where we were going. So we arrived at Jollibee PGH-Taft at around 10:30 am. All of us were cursing the day and everything that has happened to us. We were too exhausted and tired. But we have to move on...some even have a duty at Jollibee and they were already late for their duty. I immediately went home after reaching Pedro Gil. Then when I reached the condo, I immediately went to bed. I slept and woke up at around 9pm. I wasnt even able to go to the church.


Haayyy...there are things that we learned from this...that is to rent a good vehicle even if its too expensive. I just found out that this thing didnt happen once. When they had an activity before (I wasnt working/training in Jollibee at that time yet) one of the vehicles they used stopped also because of certain reasons. The vehicles that they used were the same vehicles we used for the trip.


This is all for now. Wish you all good luck!

Life and Us


Life for all of us has been full of surprises, joys, laughters, sadness, ambitions, frustrations and a lot more. It's always full of mixed emotions. Life's always full of struggles yet its worth living for. Problems come and go...you will either have one problem at a time or most often, more than two problems to fix at one given time. Well, that's life for us.

Hehehe...just dont know what to say here. Anyways, just wanted to let you know that I've been thinking a lot of things and experiencing a lot of things but I'M TOTALLY SANE AND HAPPY LIVING. I have my family, my special someone, friends and other people whom I can lean on. I'm happy and satisfied.

Well, I need to review my notes now. I have an exam later about French Fries.

Have a blessed life to all of us.
