A Humbling Experience

Something happened to me yesterday that gave me a bang in the head. I just decided to blog it today since my migraine's killing and I forced myself to sleep early which also means, I was not able to "fight" and "do missions" in mafia wars. So what really happened? you see, everytime I would arrive at the campus, it's like I'm always in a rush to go and open the locks of the office. I always had this feeling that I need to be ahead of my boss. I took it as a challenge since everytime I would arrive at the 2nd floor of the main building, I am embraced by an unlocked door, signed papers waiting to be distributed and the cool breeze of the ac as I greet my boss 'good morning'. Eventually, when she got confined in the hospital (I'm on my 3rd week then) she started to discipline herself which means I would arrive at the office earlier than her. So yesterday was just like any other day except Tim forgot to wake up early so we didn't go to school together. I left the house at the usual time, rode the Magsaysay jeep and *poof* a tricycle appeared just when I went down the jeep and safely brought me in the grounds of the campus. I entered the gate and greeted the guard and then with the usual brisk walking, I suddenly stopped -- my left leg suddenly stopped without knowing why and when I tried to lift my leg, it was stuck. To my horror, there was a hole that seemingly fit the circumference of my heels. The hole was terrifically perfect! I tried to 'free' myself but it was 'worthless' and then I started looking for someone to help me. My face definitely says that I need help, I feel like a damsel in a big distress. I even thought of asking the guard for help but I bet they couldn't hear my inner screams. To save myself from grave humiliation I pretended that I had a sprain. I somehow kneeled on the ground while trying to lift the heels of my shoe. Eventually, after 4 minutes of pure humiliation, the stupid hole set me free. I thought everything will end there but I was wrong. Just when I opened my door, I suddenly felt the urge of boosting the ac. I was already trying to open my boss' door when the key suddenly crooked. Out of panic, I just tried to remove the key and pretended that nothing happened. I left my things at my area and went down to the rest room. I intentionally left the door of my boss locked so she'd think that I had an emergency that I needed to rush somewhere and just dumped my bag at my area. Good thing she didn't notice it when I back. Well, that's my version of 3 Degrees of Humility -- only difference? I could only count two in a day.

Gamers = Breakups

For the record, we're still together but because of what happened earlier, I'm thinking twice of staying in the relationship. This happened for the nth time, countless times that I couldn't recall anymore. Him asking me to accompany him in the shop and eventually I ended up the one in charge of the business while sweet lil ol' him would play with his friends and eventually FORGETTING THAT SUPPOSEDLY HE SHOULD BE BUYING DINNER FOR US AS HE PROMISED but what happens is we ended up having no dinner for the night. This time, it's quite different. I volunteered to go to the shop and there he was, all cuddly and sweet and suddenly, the friends started encouraging the people around them to play. I told him it's okay to play since it was still early and we could have dinner at 8. The game started at 6:30pm and I tried to keep myself busy by looking at the auctions at e-bay. Later did I noticed that it was already 15 before 8 and alas! the game was finished. I was just not aware that my guy would still encourage his friends to play for another round. WTF?!? Supposedly, I should already be screaming "Hunnie, are you forgetting it's dinner time and we don't have anything to eat because the last minute before your started playing you said that you're going to buy us dinner" but I didn't out of respect for him and for his friends. So I ended up whining silently and wishing that I went straight at home so that I least I could have a normal meal. Ok, the big deal here is not really the meal but for god's sake, how many times have we ended up like this and the promises "Oo, d na mauulit. Sana d na ako naglaro." broken. God, I wish you could put yourself together and act mature. Remember, your dad's not here anymore, you are responsible for providing your family a better life. Palibasa nasanay ka. I couldn't really gauge how long I could take this and I'm not sure if I can still keep up with you. All I know is I threw the 'commitment' ring out of rage. Whatever happens, so be it!
