1-MINUTE LATE and GRATEFUL

I woke up at 8 am today .. 

so what? 

So what my face! .. because my work starts at 8:30! (naksssss! read: WORK! haha) -- and waking up at that time means, I only had 5 minutes to bathe, another 5 minutes to dress-up, another 5-7 to walk around the house panicking, not knowing what to do, because based on my research, if I want to get to my work place on time, my only option is via taxi which would take about 6 minutes .. and would cost me $ 8 sgd (OUCH naman! haha) -- or be late on my 2nd week, which would be a no-no-no-no! 

.. and i thought April Fools Day was over already?! .. Apparently, may pahabol pa saken, hahaha! 

I left the house around 8:20, hailed a cab after 2 minutes, reached the building by 8:28, run, tumbled and crawled my way to the 25th floor and whalaaaa! TIME IN: 8:31 -- pasok padin sa banga! nginitian padin naman ako ng mga ka-troops ko sa clinic pag greet ko ng GOOD MORNING -- habang pinipigilan ko ung hingal ko. wahahaha! There were no side comments of "Grabe, probie palang, ganyan na!" (it was just my friend Tulip who said this!) 

It was one for my books definitely and for that, no matter how crazy that 31-minutes had been, I am still totally GRATEFUL -- that I had enough time to prepare, that I bought bread the night before so I can make myself a sandwich which I consumed during the cab ride, that the traffic was not heavy, that I had enough energy to run, that I had enough money to pay for a taxi ride no matter how painful it would seem to spend it, that I lived only minutes away from my work place, that the lift I took with 2 others who were luckily going to the same floor, went straight-up with no stops, that the weather was good, that my shirt was ironed .. that I have something to laugh about .. that I have a story to tell .. that no matter what time I wake up, I wake up each day with a lot of things to look forward to .. and if just for that, what is not to be thankful for right? HE did it again huh! :)  

This blog was supposed to be about my March Hangover but as usual, my hyperactive mind changed its course, haha. Plus, it just makes me giddy thinking about the month that was and I just can't be too excited or else, I wont be able to sleep and I could possibly wake up late again tomorrow! hahaha 

So, in the meantime, i'll just leave you with this as I set my ALARMSSSSSS  .. 

ALWAYS!

Let's all have a happy April everyone. Fill them hearts with memories to be grateful for!
