Small world

April 25, 2008

Like what I wrote in my journal last night, I was supposed to go to the Gawad Kalinga Gen. Nakar in Quezon and assist Sir Aj in facilitating the activities but I had to finish the SWEEP Schools’ directory and profile. Although I was a bit sad because I was looking forward to be in the GK Housebuild again, I am still pleased right now because I finished the SWEEP Schools’ directory and profile. J Elline texted me and I’m glad to know that everything is fine there. After the SWEEP School’s directory, I searched for supporting photos for the article which Ms. Kring, Elline and I are working on right now.

I had my lunch alone which was a first time for me since I usually eat with Elline and Sir Aj in the 8th floor cafeteria. In the cafeteria while I was buying my food, I saw Allan (Elline’s crush). J He asked me why I was alone then I told him that Sir Aj is in GK Housebuild- Gen. Nakar together with Elline. He also asked me why I did not come with them. I told him that I had to finish my work. (Elline must be jealous… haha…)

What’s more interested in my day today is that the bus that I rode earlier this morning was also the same bus that I rode going back in our dorm this evening. Small world! In addition (to the similarities), I was also standing (while I was inside the bus) in both my trips going to Smart Tower and going back to our dorm (Hello varicose veins!). But somehow I took that experience (of standing inside the bus while commuting) as a challenge and a lesson. I rarely stood whenever I commute and rode buses before. The experience will be so memorable for me (since that became a routine when I started my internship in SMART). It tested not only my stamina but especially my patience and composure. I had to bear with it since all the buses every morning were really overloaded with passengers.
