I do not quite remember the last time I had experienced the city living. Working in San Fernando has been my way of life for three years now and I still consider it less stressful.
I am to participate in our scheduled tour yesterday but due to some circumstances, I was not made to join the group on departure. Instead, I was to remit the payments made by students to the cashier, get some updates, train Sir Marlon for the competition and then re-join my students at TGIF Malate.
It was 12:30 pm and I was about to leave San Fernando for Manila. Just when I was about to go, an emergency meeting came up. As the coach, I was required to attend. The meeting was not over until 4:30 pm and from that moment on, I was hurrying myself to come to Manila to join my students. It's about 5pm and from Pampanga, I found myself making my way to the bus station--city bound.
It was time to ride the MRT. That circumstance made me remember those times that I am battling the city crowd just to go to work everyday. Long lines for bag checking, ticket selling and uncertain time of waiting just to ride the train. Not to mention the very chaotic manner of people loading the train coaches. It was about 6:30pm. I was just thankful that I am south bound which is less populated than the north bound especially at that rush hour time.
That moment, I appreciated the most. Extremely thankful that I was safe from the chaotic mass transportation system which I have experienced before. Alighted at Buendia Station, rode a jeepney and indulged in my favorite frappuccino at Starbucks Pacific Star Building before checking in at Makati Palace Hotel.
It was really a tiring and busy day. But instead of having an early retirement to bed, I spent the wee hours surfing the net, managed to greet some birthday celebrants and downloaded some songs. I realized I need more sleep.
