OH WAIT! SKIP TRAIN.... (Abad Santos Station)
July 30, 2012
9:41 am
I left my house at exactly 7:20am. I walk on foot to Abad Santos Station. It's just 5 -10 mins of walking to get there. It's raining not so hard but enough to tip down on me for I never bring umbrella with me wherever I go (minsan lang). I just wearing jacket, eyes staring down to my steps, walking along the street and dashing the rain to LRT station. I got there at exactly 7:30am. I bought my SV (Stored Value) card. While walking a few steps to card insert machine entrance ( I don't know what you call that) I suddenly saw a friend in a second of glance, we haven't had the chance to talk but if we talk, definitely it will be something more interesting to share with each other. At the moment I saw him, we understood each other with a simple smile. At the same time "WOW" the sounds familiar to us (If you are LRTA passenger), the LRTA sounds itself. I got to say OH WAIT! That's Skip Train. No one is in. Free to occupy.This is not the usual thing for me. My first train is a skip train.First time. How lucky I am, right?
Usually, I paced the the yellow lane between 7:20 - 7:30am, put myself in the line, giving myself an allowance of 30 mins just to avoid late. There's a thick passengers waiting for their train to aboard on. Several trains passed before I could push myself in. It's HARD! I was so conscious about stares of many while I'm holding on a pole inside the LRT, I was in front, It's moderately hard for me to hold on, people inside as if don't want to welcome anybody to get in, still pushing self, I care not about them, we're all passengers, and I AM LATE ALREADY! At the back of my mind I'm laughing. HAHAHAHA, I'm in.. your squeezed like an orange fruit while having a constant stare at one direction. I happened not to look at them though I'm squeezed tightly, wishing it would loosen up after a station or two.
Oh well, Good Morning! Skip Train Good Morning, despite of the storm Gener, I have no right to refuse and absent my self to.... I'm no longer a student anymore. I wish I am. How I wish someone would text me from management cancelling today's activity.
YEHEY, With the big SMILE I found in my face while I'm running for the skip train. I enter the train easily. No challenges at all. At the moment, I'm thinking of the cancellation, if it is possible. A colleague has ringed me before I board a train asking about the cancellation. I answered, NO! with the thick accent! I'm going, I'm no longer a student. Then, you must too. And it ended to "OK Im on the way" she said. The train was running smoothly. then I felt my bag vibrating proudly, I have a text message. I was in tayuman station. I didn't read the message thinking that it's not something about cancellation of today's timetable. At carriedo station, another vibration made, another text message received. At carriedo station a man stood up from his sweet sitting in front of me. leave out the train. I can sit now. I can read my messages. Still, I am smiling, thinking that I am the luckiest person today because of this skip train. Huh, you've started my day right! XD
"ALERT" ......WE WILL PRESUME TOM - NINA, T.Manager. oh Sh*t. No, Im still the luckiest person today, insisting myself, I am. Desperate! Disappointed! Bastard text message! That's the first message. But how about the second message? "YEY WALANG PASOK" she messaged. With the wrinkle on my face, I found my self descending down stair from Central station. Stupid text message, she must text me ahead of time. "sayang pera, sayang pamasahe, sayang yung pinambili ko ng baon ko, sayang naman ung suot ko. and laugh as it would neutralize my mood, and say: well, I'm using this outfit again tomorrow hahahahahha. Bakit wala naman nakakita, nakajacket ako, saka mabango pa ko noh. whatever happens, im still the luckiest person today. hahahah. " SMILE. Don't end the day. It has just started.
I'm crossing the road and it's tipping down over me. I'm wet with the rain. I'm waiting for the jeep patiently. Yes, I pride myself onto the jeep. I'm still the luckiest person among those in the jeep. laughing at them. I can go home, I can still have my sleep, I can write this LUCKY notes with full of confidence. I can stand out in many ways. My grandiose day has just begun. There are more I could expect today. I can make this day more productive as I expect it.
I stepped down from jeep, I saw those tricycle drivers at the terminal. They were looking at me as if they saw me a few minutes ago. Yes, It's true. That's me! I'm coming home that easy, I pride myself with the eyes look straight forward while dashing the rain tremendously, walking towards my house in a smooth manner ignoring the rain. hahahhaha (BALIW LANG).
Finally, I'm home. I burst. I shout. and Laugh out loud. and say " I AM THE LUCKIEST PERSON TODAY! APPRECIATE!" clap clap clap. Feeling I'm INFECTED by the rain HAHHAHAHA...
CHEER! NESCAFE COFFE (chocolate) XD
