Updates

Feeling much better.  Though yesterday was stressful.  Actually it started when a subordinate texted me Sunday to say that he was confined in the hospital.  Problem was our HMO, didn’t want to take care of it.  So I had to coordinate with the agent and the employee and back to the agent then to the hmo. 

Then yesterday two of them couldn’t get to work.  Provincial bus strikes or something.   So I had to ask Kit if we are updated on our timelines.  So far we are so I wasn’t really that worried.  Started looking for a cheap notary public.  The one I go to is relatively cheap.  But they are gone now.  Went to their office last saturday and it was empty.  Asked the guard but he had no idea where they moved.  Anyway, I tried again yesterday and still couldn’t find one.  I guess I shall be forced to get one of the expensive ones.  Come 11am, a client sends me a text message to say that our meeting will push through that day.  So had to haul my ass over there.  Finally got home by 6:30pm.  Tired but feeling better.  

Anyway, new dawn. new day and whole lot of life to live.   I’m still a very lucky bastard and for that I am thankful.

Yesterday while riding the MRT, this skimpily dressed woman sits in front of me and Kit.  She was wearing a red dress which barely covers the “high heavens”, “paradise” (or whatever name you wish to call it)  with plunging neckline and  high heels and a pair of sunglasses (though you can still see her eyes).  Anyway, I did notice her looking at our direction twice, maybe she was looking at the scenery at our backs but that is totally beside the point.   Come one station, this seedy looking dirty old man walks in.  He was the type who had the upper part of his shirt unbuttoned, and had his hair all grown on one side which he combs over the balding part of his head.  Well as expected upon seeing the woman he went straight to where she was seated and stood himself right in front of her.  There weren’t a lot of people in the train really, and the fact that that man chose to position himself in that exact area was suspiciously blatant.  I just found it funny that the woman, was basically looking for attention and I guess she found it.  She then pulls out her phone and starts texting like crazy, trying to ignore the man whose crotch is facing her.

Bella, had an assignment in Filipino.  She was supposed to get a local fable, myth or legend and write it down in her own words.  Shit, she can’t even speak the local language well.  So I had to guide her.  Now, I can speak conversational tagalog.  I know some deep tagalog words that not a lot of people know, but hell, it was torture to do that assignment with her.  I find the Tagalog taught in schools to be impractical.   Nobody speaks in that form!!  Anyway, as I dictated to her what to write, she would ask for the meanings of words that she didn’t  understand, which of course drove me at wits ends, cause I found it hard to articulate them in english.  But we got through it and thank God.
