Today was unreal. My afternoon played like a comedy sequence. I was certainly taken to the point that my life is out of control.

A home security salesman approached me and asked me about how long were we a Vivint customer. I told him that we're Vivint customers for 3 years, and that's when he introduced himself and stuff. I was running for work already, and that's when he noticed that I was on my way. I told him that he can come back in the evening, so he could talk to my dad instead. I didn't know if he did come back. I checked my phone for the time and went to walking to my stop.

When I got to the bus stop, I noticed that the bus may be running late. I looked at my phone and I dialed their machine to check the schedule. It was going to run late and that would mean I only have a few minutes left when I get to my stop near the office. I thought I could walk to another stop to catch some breathing space reaching downtown. The only catch is, that bus is always crowded and the stop was far too, but I think where I'm standing now, if I wait for it, I'll have 5 minutes left when I reach my destination; gonna do some cardio before going to work, huh?

I decided to make a move and head to that stop where the crowd is. While I was two blocks away from it, I saw my bus from the distance! Crap! I ran back to my old bus stop about 2 blocks away now. I don't know how, but one earbud from my earphone was gone. It's an in-ear earphone, so it feels like there's something sharp sticking inside your ear if I put it on. I like those earphones too! When I made it to the bus, and I thank God I did, I was panting and laughing at the bus driver. I showed him my pass and I just fell on my seat. No sense acting prim and proper now, I don't mind doing running for dear life when I reach my stop near the office.

Around Main Street, my eyes grew when the bus stopped over for these 50-some kids and their guardians waiting at the stop. OMG! They're going to fit all of them inside?! How?! The people inside the bus smirked and some moved at the back of the bus. I was already winded a bit, I'm running late, I avoided riding that crowded bus, and then I'm gonna end up barely breathing with this much people. We can't move! I started laughing in my head. I stared outside the window as I hoped for the best. It was loud inside the bus too and it seemed like the bus driver was still willing to pick up some passengers at the next stops! I remembered my prayer before going to work. I knew that the road construction near our street would somewhat hamper the buses, and I prayed that God help me get to work on time. And I made it on time -- even though them 50+ kids and their guardians were still there when I got off. I wondered where their field trip is. I did hurry to work afterwards.

Work was straightforward today too, that there's not much mentioning. I came home and went back to reading the super thick 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami on the bus. And all I can say is that I can't even compare my writing to him. His writing style would dwarf mine and I guess it's also a sin if I would even try to compare mine. I wish I could capture the essence, the setting, and the feel of a story that detailed in the future.

When I got home, my ate C asked for my adivse on an issue about my sister's cotillion. I told her that I would try to talk to the parties involved and give them two weeks to see what would happen. If not, then we'd have to find a replacement for someone. I also discovered that my sister's fall photoshoot was pushed back to 2 weeks, August 30. That means I have more time to keep my money. I do enjoy the company in my savings.
