Jollibee. Kids. Staff Who Were Tryin' To Be Nice. And A Disappointed Negligent Customer.

I woke up today having great expectations on productivity and gladness. Indeed, God granted me my prayer with a mug of coffee, peanut butter toast and a good-read book. And a conversation with Dad which happens only when I wake up early and when he's not busy playing Plants Vs. Zombies. Eh?

Lunch time came and I was with my friends, when I'm supposed to be with the Aunts and Uncles. I ate Jollibee's Hashbrown Burger (and was sated by its unlikely taste. Hashbrown and burger: NOT A GOOD COMBINATION)  when I'm supposed to be gorging on Dampa's best. 

I bought large fries for my nephew. I promised to give him yummy food for every good performance in school. He's got no "star" today but still I bought him food, since I'm at Jollibee and I have money, ha ha. I spent 46 Pesos for the fries, 80 Pesos for the Hashbrown burger meal and 32 Pesos for the transportation. And a few grams of energy for patience, for the long line of customers. Lunch break it is! Unfortunately, for the fries and my 46 precious Pesos, with negligence and all, I left it at our table. After 15 minutes I went back at the store to get it and asked the service crew and they gave me a response, "Wala po kaming napansin, Ma'am." So much for my 46 Pesos, and another 8 Pesos for the transportation going back home. 


But the crews were still nice. Some were trying. With the kids climbing on the counter top, their parents changing orders from Yellow Dalandan float to Green Apple, to the yellow one again, no, the green one. Kids telling them they wanted both. Hence, changing orders again. Truly, it is something for the staff to be really really nice. 

It was some kind of a lunch I have had today. One thing I've learned, though, from all that had happened, kapag hindi will ni Lord, hindi natutuloy. 

As for my nephew, he will get yummy food when he already deserves. 

As for my negligence, well, I'm quite disappointed, he he.

"I Can't Believe It's Over." A Break-Up Story

Image
It was on a Monday night shift that my co-worker and I was left cleaning the whole line (if you've been to the place where I work, the line I was talking about is the one on the inner side of the sneeze guard). We are about to brush the floor clean and to remove the dirt of the most busy place of the store we needed an extra-strong chemical to do the magic. And when I say extra-strong I mean skin-burning extra-strong type of chemical. That is, Diversey's Suma Break-Up. (I should get paid for this advertisement) (There, so you'd imagine my description better.) Cutting to the chase, Wayne (the pretty co-worker in the story) and I are moving chillers and all those stuff around and started cleaning. Until she said, "Ah.. By portion natin ipu- push brush ?" The #hugot lines started. "Yup. Kasi ang break-up dapat dinadahan-dahan, dahil kapag hindi, masakit, madali tayong mapapagod," I answered. And so it goes. The incident is not really the ma

The Story of the Nativity and The Relativity

It was two months before I graduate from high school when I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior.  College applications, entrance examinations, trendy clothes, hair colors, lovers and friends, and teenage angst were the things this college novice have in mind. Together with the incredulous plans I have in my life. As if those things seem to be easy putting into its rightful place. Things I have for my  self  in which probably what Jesus have seen when He came knocking at the door of my heart which I have humbly opened on the month of February, 2008.  image source:  http://celebritywonder.ugo.com/wp/Oscar_Isaac_in_The_Nativity_Story_Wallpaper_2_800.jpg    It could also be what Joseph have for his life when God knocked him off with a thought that his fiance was pregnant. He's got plans. To where the wedding will be held, who the guest will be; family, relatives, and a couple of friends maybe. To where they will raise their children. Or maybe just a

Steve Jobs & Me

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.   - Steve Jobs , CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, on June 12, 2005 FRIDAY IT'S JUST MY EMOTION feeling bad about everything. But I have the conviction that Someone loves me and suffered for me, and has taken every awful things one could experience just so I could have a choice not having them now. The conviction that makes me confident of everything that I have and getting those that I do not have... yet. THURSDAY I have all the intention and I fall short with my action. Unless I make Christ as my life's (and the desires, plans and ambitions that go with it) Chief Cornerstone. It has been a fulfillment having se
