On My Way To Work

I was late.. I was grumpy.. I didn't want to talk to anybody... I skipped my morning roll calls to my fellow tmobile freaks... I just wanted to get to work and get it over with.. but lo and behold angels come in the most unexpected places and in the most unexpected forms... I call them my angels, people who lift me up, make my day seem brighter and just talk and make me see that indeed it is another spectacular day and you have to smile at it...

she was old enough to be my mom's grandma or maybe not i really don't know how to gauge people's ages.. she was a dainty little old lady..sorry for the old but she was dainty and she was sweet.. the bus was packed and i was standing in front of her... i knew i wasn't looking at her but i don't know how she caught my attention... but she started talking.. asking me is I was a Filipina, of course I said yes.. it was weird coz she started saying..oh ang ganda mong Filipina.. are you single? I said yes... she asked me if I had a bf.. I bit my tongue and I wanted to say no but I said yes... I was scared she was gonna pair me off with one of her grandsons hahaha.. anyway so she was like oh it's too bad..but how long have you been together, aren't you gonna get married yet.. i was like oh no not yet... and she asked me how old i was...she said are you 19 or 20.. good for the ego huh..i told her i was 27...she said oh you shouldn't say that out loud, tell them you're just 24, you can run away with it.. she made me smile.. then she told me she had 16 children, she was married at the age of 15.. she said she didn't really like the guy, he wasn't even one of her suitors..he just kissed her then and there and they got married after that...it was crazy if you think how parents were strict then that you got kissed and you get married after that..she said if she had a choice she wouldn't chose him... but the guy moved fast... he said that he didn't want anyone to get to her first so he did it... it's funny how guys do what they want fast when they want to do it but when they want you to suffer they do it as slow as they can... sigh... so she said only 10 of her 16 kids are alive now..i didn't want to ask how they died coz i was going down soon...but she told me before i went down..  kung may anak pa sana akong hindi pa kinakasal, pwede ka sana ang ganda mong pinay e.. which made me think... i was grumpy and i was not really smiling except when i was talking to her... but she saw something there.. something to smile about... anyway she's my angel for today... i have lots of them when i need them.. thanks for sending them...
