1 thing made it worth it. Thanks so much for the time we spent that night.
Last week was a very stressful week for me though it need not be. All thanks to miscommunication and the bright idea of my sister to forward the text messages from China to Mom rather than contact me directly. She wants her pictures backed up in my external drive so that she can use it in her lectures. The only thing I can imagine that is like Sir Coronel inserting the pictures in the slidesets so as to mark the break times in the lecture. I received the connotation that it was VERY urgent. I was panicking all over the place between Wednesday night until Thursday night. Breaking point was when I was told that I could send them by Friday and that sister had no internet connection because of moving into a new apartment. Was it wrong for me to get so angry? I believe that anyone will get angry in this situation no matter how patient they are. But the highlight of last week made it bearable.
Here's what happened
When mom forwarded me the text Wednesday night, I asked when is the deadline. I got no reply so I thought it was urgent but I wasn't home. I was playing basketball with Brian Dee and his friends. My mom even asked me to stop playing basketball, go home and send the pictures right away because sister sent the text message 5 times already. After basketball at 11pm I still went down to the internet cafe to try and send the pics. PLDT line was cut so I couldn't.
Woke up Thursday morning to attempt again 8am to 9am I didn't get to send the pics so I tried to upload in my multiply but still no use. Internet connection was slow.
After work, 630pm, I went to Katipunan to get something for a promise I made to this person on the next event. I thought it was in Katipunan but I was wrong since the goods were in Paranaque. Since I was there anyway I might try again to upload the pics in NetFX. Got to upload 2x than the quota at around 9pm but I missed the last train in LRT.
I'm not that familiar with the jeeps going to Cubao so I was very worried that I might miss the stop at Araneta Center. Good thing I got off at the right time and the guard at the shuttle station let me in so that I can get into Gateway mall to get to MRT.
On the way home was the start of my boiling point as Mom text messaged of new revelations (Sis has no net connection; deadline is Friday; etc.). I was screaming inside and already imagining myself banging my head against the wall then jumping in front of a moving vehicle. I was cold, wet, and pissed off until I got home. Phoned my mom about my complaints. Sister is always bad timing when she needs something from me. The way she asks for something, it seems that she should have it right away (You ask for something and you need it 5 minutes ago... Wow even I can't come up with that.). Mom told me that I should just do it because it's not often she makes requests (*cough*YEAHRIGHT!!!*cough*) and that she's my sister, I should understand (I'm her brother and she should also understand that I'm not at her beck and call).
Dai ichi no detto wa tanoshii desu
Friday after work, we met up and went to DOME cafe behind Makati Medical Center. I made the initiative of choosing the place instead of my usual kahit saan since I want to experience eating there and I needed a good excuse of going there (Actually, I just needed someone, preferrably a girl, to go with me there hehehe). I have to say the food there was good excellent, ambiance was great, music was appropriate (the music reminded me of a BGM of one of the restos in Diner Dash 2). It was the perfect place for a date. So we talked about stuff and caught up on things. When I told her about how stressed I am because of that fiasco my sister concocted for me (I knew it that she just wants to make my life miserable), her advise was no different from Mom. Weird thing is that I feel more comforted when she said it compared to my mom saying it. Another weird thing is that I really wanted to sound pissed off when telling that tale but I ended up telling it like it was a funny story instead. Why?
After dinner we went up to the condo to hang out, but the crossing to it was a bit flooded. Our shoes got soaked. Girl, you, me and rain when mixed together is always bad luck for you. 3rd strike last Friday. 1st was when Katipunan was flooded, 2nd was when our test in International Exchange Bank (This one's my fault, so sorry about that).
All good things must come to an end and last Friday needed to end at 9pm. So after giving a demo of FFXII I accompanied her to SM Makati for rendezvous with her dad. First time I went out in public in my PJ's hahahahaha!!!
We even forgot the main purpose of the meeting up in the first place. But I didn't mind. The date was all that I wanted, needed and looked forward to. It was the one thing that made my week worth it. It made me hold on to the ledge of sanity for that 1 second more. Thanks talaga. You did more for me that night more than you know. If you cancelled out on me that day, the vision of banging the head against the wall might have become a reality. Next time you're here, I'll show you how the common area looks like. It's so cool.
