One July 24th

Another Saturday of administering an IQ test and personality test to our freshmen and transferees.
I was up around 6am, hoping that I would still be early for our (SSC CamSur) medical mission along with Diabetes Philippines Cam Sur Chapter as the primary sponsor. I managed to arrive at the Naga City Youth Center at around quarter to 7 in the morning. To my surprise, the hall was half full with people, mostly Diabetes-at-risk just like me or diagnosed with Diabetes already. I had to go to work around 7:15 for the scheduled test administration, so it means I didn’t have my FBS measured. I said that I’ll be coming back around 9 am for that… and so I did. The venue was almost empty and I was thinking that it’s now my chance to have my blood sugar checked. After a few minutes, sad to say there were no more strips for me. So there goes judgment day and come back another day. At around 10am, together with Kuya Pao, we went back to UNC and bought myself a tall hot White Mocha from Beanbag because I didn’t have my breakfast clearly because I was aiming for my fasting blood sugar to be checked. Went back to work and the test administration continued for the whole day.

morning coffee

I wasn’t able to eat lunch on time. Test administration still continued. At around  4:30 pm, as I transferred to and from another building, bringing all the test materials using Citie, I accidentally left the car keys on the driver seat. Yes you read it right, the car keys inside the car! I only noticed it after trying to check the key if it was on my belt about 25 steps away from the car.. then poof, the car locked up on its own. That my dear friends  is a disadvantage of having an automated car alarm & lock system installed in your car. After closing the doors, count 15 minutes and it will lock on its own. This is somehow good for those who forget to lock the car anyway.

What were my options of getting the key?
1.       Go home and get the duplicate key and remote OR have someone bring the duplicate key here at work. BUT, bad luck was here, Bem (kiakapatid ko) was charging her phone turned off, so she was clearly out of reach.
2.       Sungkitin ang susi sa loob with a steel wire.

To my surprise, a sudden flashback came to me.

1.       When I was at Beanbag, while waiting for the coffee I took pictures of the place and guess what, with no purpose at all that very second.. I also took a picture of the car key using my phone.



2.       Before going down the car, I didn't close the driver side window all the way up, I left an open space for about 3 inches. What was on my mind then? So that the air would circulate inside the car para hindi mainit. This is routinary for me whenever I park inside the campus, but the difference was, I had it 3 inches open wide when compared to my ordinary open space of 1 inch.

Everything has a purpose!! Indeed everything! Again law of attraction is very strong.

Why did I take a picture of my car keys?? Why did I leave the window open for about 3 inches wide and not 1 inch wide.?

So what was the solution to my urgent problem? If option number two will not work by 5pm, I will go home to get the duplicate. When I was trying to contact my kinakapatid, mas lalong sumakit ulo ko due to my hunger. Tired, hungry, stressed and haggard looking moment. Naghanap ako ng steel wire sa office, as I was looking for the pair of scissors, again, walang gunting!! Nawawala! Hay this isn’t really my day. I asked help from our SA to help me look for a scissor, buti nlng may nakuha.

Sino pnasungkit ko? Si Jake at Mark (two of our peer counselors). Ang galing! Thank you talaga.
After getting the car keys, I sat down inside the car for a moment and rested for a while. Then I drove off once again to Beanbag to get another cup of coffee and something to eat. As time was running, I was also in a hurry to finish what I was eating and drinking. It was my breakfast, lunch and early dinner btw all coiled in one. What’s worse, I got a surprising headache because of hunger. First time ever!

Afternoon coffee

After having my snack, I prepared myself for my 6:30 to 8:30 class. Buti nlng di nagpasaway mga students ko. I even had a good laugh while discussing our topic. To my surprise, everytime I laugh, the forebrain will cut the crap and feel the pain. After dismissing my 2nd class, I still had to drive off to Pili and fetch mom. It was a loooonnngggg day. A July 24 that I’ll never forget.

Got home at around 9:30 pm. As I was about to plug my notebook. Poof, I left my charger inside the bag of the multimedia projector at the office!!! May pahabol pa sa bad day ko. haha

To sum it up, I wasn't able to check my FBS, had a late breakfast, lunch and early dinner, left the car keys inside the car, left the charger for my notebook after work. 

P.S.
Nag internet pa ako pagka uwi sa bahay then slept at around 11? Haha pasaway talaga. Tired but not sleepy yet. tsk tsk
