Ever Hated Monday

September 26 | Tuesday

Can you believe it? It's the last Monday of September. Next, we'll start a brand new month. Ah, everything seems to go in the breeze. My niece clocked in her first day at Kindergarten today too. She is all near and clean and adorable in her uniform and black shoes. She's one of the reasons why I came late for work today. I can't stop myself from taking pictures of her. You know, tita things. I love being her tita. I can't stop staring in admiration at how adorable she is in her uniform.

Anyway, she's in getting the second week at school already. She's shown interest in colouring and zero interest in writing. We have urged and tricked her into writing but to no avail. She likes it better when she's holding a crayon or a pen to draw a 'silly' and 'sad' face on number four's palms- my father.

Anyway, I hit the sack late last night as I had to write something. Yeah, my boss would hand me projects when it's only the 'last two minutes. Ain't it fun? But I enjoyed it. It's challenging me. The downside is I wouldn't be able to sleep soundly. If I have tasks undone, I would occasionally find myself uneasy, pressured and dying to get things done and accomplished.

Thank God that today everyone is taking it all easy. There will be an intramural at the university which will start later and last until Wednesday. Thankfully, there's not much going on in the office today. I could visit here and check on everyone. Meanwhile, we ordered fruit shakes after lunch to cleanse the taste of shrimp paste we are for lunch.

The office is a little bit empty today as the boys are out for an extension project. This is the day I never thought I needed. I mean I enjoy their company but it would be a breath of fresh air for them to go out and explore and for us to enjoy the comforts of the office on our own.

It's a gloomy day. The weather seems to be contributing much to my feelings. It's hard to scroll on the Facebook feed as there are cities dipped in floodwater. Various aerial shots are just so unflattering. Rescuers who were found dead are just too much to bear. I couldn't bear it if it was my family member, imagine someone trying to save other people's lives and ending up losing their own. This is a clear sign that we have to be proactive in our preparation. It all boils down to how responsible a citizen we are because whether we like it or not, our actions and decisions would create a ripple effect.

That would be all for this Monday friends. Later, I have Korean students to attend to and laundry to do. I hope I'll finish them all early so I can stop by here before I doze off.

Thanks for reading. Until then.
