From the moment we wake up until the time we hit the sack, we are challenged by different choices to make everyday—from the simplest ones to the toughest life-changing decisions. Like, to name a few:
1. At the sound of your pre-scheduled alarm or the voices of roosters crowing if you’re in the province, do you instantaneously rise up to run (or do whatever form of exercise you’re advocating)? Or do you pretend not hearing anything and go back to sleep, wishing that you’ll get to see the amazing ending of your interrupted dream hahahah . . .
2. Will you continue working as an employee or take that leap of faith and join the entrepreneural world? (If you can actually do both, why not?)
3. Must you eat sweets for dessert right after lunch or reserve them later for afternoon snacks to save calories?
4. Will you purchase additional insurance or invest your savings in Bonds, UITF, Mutual Funds or Stock Market?
5. Should you just patiently wait for that crazy driver who parked directly at the back of your car, hindering you to leave the parking lot or you scream at the top of your voice hoping that the person responsible for your misfortune will hear you and come running to the rescue?
At @6am in Zapote Market when I was planning to leave after 2 hours of marketing, I found out that a huge luxury car was situated at my back. I called the attention of the parking attendants and asked for the driver. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any clue where the person went but tried to look inside the marketplace. I was tired, hungry and exhausted and just wanted to go home but couldn’t. Without any warning, I snapped. I shouted soooo loud that even the dead would be awaken and rise from their graves. Everything stood still. Nobody moved. People in the vicinity froze and gazed at me with their mouths half open and for a moment, I felt the world came to an end and I was the only one left alive. I realized the aftermath of my outburst and wished that the ground would open and swallow me whole. Then after what seemed to be eternity, a slender woman came rushing to the illegally-parked car murmuring her apologies while waving her hand and hurriedly drove off. Imagine yourself pausing a video and after a while, pushing the “PLAY” button. As if on cue, everything around me came back to life again. I peacefully entered my car and finally departed for home. I did so without the help of the parking attendants. They probably chose to hide for fear of their lives heheheh . . .
On the way home, Ate Ella informed me that she was at the side of Zapote Market building talking to a vendor when they heard the ear-splitting roar. The vendor asked her if she knew what was that about and she answered him “it’s like Tarzan lost his way here in Zapote Market so he’s summoning his army of jungle animals to help him”. Ate Ella honestly confessed that she would deny knowing me if someone asked her that time hahahah . . .
