The Consequence of Being Hard Headed

August 31, 2022

I was awakened by my alarm clock at exactly 5:00 in the morning because I have to get some requirements at our university for my scholarship grant. My scheduled appointment is 11:00 a.m so I need to prepare myself early since the university where I am studying is in Manila.

I let my siblings take a bath first since they also have in-person classes to attend today. Once they are done, I immediately took myself to the bathroom and start to bathe. When I'm finished, I went to my room and start doing my grooming rituals. I styled my hair by applying some hair wax, did my basic skincare routine, and after that, I wear my chosen outfit for today. I chose an ochre brown shirt and partnered it with khaki pants, and chose to wear white shoes. I also put my watch and necklace to add some details. Ta-da! outfit check!

I finished preparing myself in about 30 minutes. The next thing that I did is to eat breakfast. I need some energy since it will be a long tiring trip for me.

I leave our house at 7:00 a.m. I rode a tricycle going to the terminal of the bus. I didn't enter the bus when I arrived there because I need to wait for my friend to arrive. When I see her she told me that we are going to the bus where her uncle is the driver. In that way, we are going to save our fare a little.

During the trip, the rain suddenly poured down the sky. I am not shocked, I already expected that because I heard the news about the low-pressure area coming from the Philippine area of responsibility. Of course, I am prepared! I have an umbrella with me in my bag pack. The rain continues to fall until it becomes heavy but luckily it subsided when we arrived in Manila.

The heavy rain stopped but it is still drizzling.

"It's just a drizzle, I don't need to cover myself with an umbrella." — That is what I thought to myself.

With that, my friend and I continue our journey going to our destination. After arriving at the university, we didn't waste time doing what we need to do in the first place. And as usual, we didn't forget to take a picture and a small tour inside the campus. When we get the requirements, we decided first to eat lunch in Mang Inasal before traveling back home.

2 days after that trip, I suddenly felt cold, my temperature is rising, and coughing hard became my problem. I am sick and I don't like it at all. That is when I realized that I became sick because I am hard-headed. The memory of me not using my umbrella and letting myself be exposed to the drizzle that day flashed in my mind.

"Ugh! It's my fault. I will not let myself do that again." — I said to myself.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

You now realize how hard-headed I am. Even myself is pissed about what I did. I have an umbrella with me but I chose not to use it. Is it bad that I am afraid that my umbrella will soak wet? Char.

I'm still sick but a warm cuddle will surely treat my sickness. I need to rest, I need to sleep, I need someones sweet kisspirin and yakapsule. Lol.
