If you're in a hurry...


Think slowly!

It may sound weird but yes, I believe, that’s true!  If you’re in a hurry, think slowly. 

Last Friday, we were scheduled to pick up the printed shirts at exactly 10 a.m. at the CM Recto.   Unfortunately, we were not able to leave the school immediately .  At about lunch time, we still have to deal with the usual signs of adolescence… from dependency to independency . . . among third year and fourth year high school students.  And before we were able to  leave,   there has been so much stress already.

We were about to leave when my  husband got a phone call from a relative in Dipolog.  Two box-full of  assorted fruits  were sent via AirPhil and will arrive at about 3:00  in the afternoon of the  same day.  We have to pick it up.  We were so excited to eat the exotic fruits from Mindanao.  However, it’s another stress for us  considering our hectic schedule in school in connection with our 14th founding anniversary celebration. 

Wanting to get the t-shirts and at the same time pick up the baggages from the AirPhil cargo station, we hurriedly took the van and head off to C.M. Recto .  From there, we proceeded to Sucat Paranaque to get the package.  We gave the Airway bill number  and alas!  The baggages were there already! 

At the door,  it says, NO ID, NO RELEASE OF BAGGAGE.

Unfortunately,  nobody has the ID, a government-issued ID for that matter.  I only have my ATM cards with me at that time which could not be honoured because there were no pictures.

We all went home downhearted!  Sayang ang lahat . . . ang oras, ang pagod, ang pera!

It’s just good enough that the lansones were extraordinarily big and tasted so sweet and delicious!  Most of all,  many people were able to enjoy them.

Thank you to Lina Dapat and her family and also to Julius Canizar who took charge of the airfreight.

But next time Mr. Right,  if you’re in a hurry, think slowly.  Make sure that everything’s gonna be alright.   Right , Mr. Right?
