As much as I'm saving, I do choose when to get out of this
town and when I do, I'm gone for the whole day.
I'm proud to say that I influenced another person to Dr.
Martens and it was Gem! Yehey!
Dr. Martens posted that they will be having a Flash Sale at
the Traffic branch in Trinoma on 13, 14 and 15 and Gem was waiting for this day
because she really want a pair of 1460. Though she really wants the Cherry Red
but she was heart broken when she found out that the classic are not included
on the sale.
To top everything, my sister decided to left me that morning
that I need to commute that early and it was a miserable experience. I love
jeepney ride but not in the morning plus the traffic on a Saturday, it was
horrible.
So my travel that morning to get to Trinoma was Jeepney from
hometown to LRT Santolan to Cubao then transfer to MRT Cubao to North Ave. Good
thing, Gem gave me already a beep card that can be used on every train so far
on this country. So convenient. So good to know how to commute but mantraaaaa.
Haha
We met around 11:30am where she was riding the train that I
got into when it was in Cubao. Hehe. I went inside Trinoma already but she
thought that I was still inside the train station so apparently she was waiting
for me there. Haha.
Anyway, the last time I was in Trinoma was when I watched
Twenty One Pilots last July and I already saw the store that time but since
she's so excited I already asked where it is and we already headed that way.
The sale of Dr. Martens was not that bad but hopefully there
will be more style soon. I'm still eyeing that Jadon.
We ate at Tokyo Tokyo for lunch. Then we headed back to MRT
because we will go to the other end of the train which is Taft. It was my first
time to ride the MRT from North to Taft before it was just for Cubao to Trinoma.
We are all aware of the problem of the MRT since it's always
in the news and upon our train trip from North to Taft, I can't imagine if we
encounter a problem most especially when it was a weekday where people need to
be at the office or school at the certain time. Tsk
When we arrived on the other end of the train, Gem told me
earlier that she will go to the salon for a hot oil treatment and I'm good with
that because it's still early to be at MOA Arena for the 4pm game and I'm
hating that I'll be watching the game live, ALONE. And I was nervous for that
game and I had no one to talk to or to hold on when it's crucial time.
We didn't win that day.
Gem was in Benilde because it was Deaf Festival and that was
the last day and she needs to be there. Keith have a duty and Lhea was in
Palawan. I should've ask some people to come with me but if it's basketball it
should be Brobabes because other people will never understand my beliefs or my
observation during the game. I chose to be alone even I need to hold on to
someone most especially on the last minute of the game and I need someone to
comfort me after. I'm being childish and that's why I need Brobabes.
After that Gem offered to have dinner but she can't leave
early from there and I need to get out of MOA since it will be super hard to
escape that place because of APEC, traffic and it's a weekend.
I roam around for a while and I bought something for myself.
It's hard to be defeated because I sometimes end up buying something for myself.
Then the next day, I was thinking what to do with the bag that I bought. Great
I hop in to a bus to get to the Taft Station of MRT and
realization kicks in. Too much information.
I'm typing this two weeks later and I'm not sure with the
things that I realized that moment but one thing is for sure, the world is
moving and I'm part of it.
When we got problems on our comfort zone sometimes the best
way is go out there be part of the larger community where no one knows you, no special
treatment and no one to depend on because you are on your own.
While you spend your day out there, you will see the
different side where most of the time you're not part of it but it does exist.
There is a life outside the box and you have to experience it once in a while
to appreciate life. Some people may not go back to the comfort zone but if you
need to go back, you will be charged and with the experience for a certain day
for sure you will be thankful for some things that you are taking for granted.
I got to the MRT and from Taft I decided to take my usual
route in Cubao than in Shaw/Ortigas because it's easier to have a ride to my
hometown from there than to line up at Mega and I had enough to make myself
realize some things and I'm back on appreciating my life and reality itself.
That
was the first time that I totally commute from home to MOA and back
