Curse and Blessing. Two words unlikely to come along but on rare ocassions when heaven conspires with earth to bring the most suprising suprises life can offer…ang oa, actually sabihin na nating there’s always a brighter side to gloomy things!
Nung nakipag shiftrade ako ke Mark, medyo nairita ako sa kanya dahil parang one day pumasok ako at pinag-uusapan na nila yung shiftrade na ako pala ang involved! And although super alok ng treat sya nun at nag-sosorry rin xa, still that wasn’t enough para ma-assure ako na okay ang shift, lalo na ang umuwi ng alas-12 ng umaga sa Malabon!
nevertheless natuloy parin ako sa cinderella-shift and lucky me, i needed to relocate my station since all the stations in the PW3 area were occupied. Conviniently, inaya ako ni Mami Jhoy na tumabi sa station nya dahil bakante pa at wala pa akong ka-hotdesk! Although malayo nga sa previous station ko at wiz ko kakilala ang seatmates ko, okay parin naman, but the suprise im talking about is yet to come…
9pm strikes and the MTBP guys entered the floor. And Mami Jhoy has a hotdesk partner and it was no less than the title holder of our office pageant, Marc! hehe, eyecandy! at dahil mgkatabi kmi eh inevitable na mag-usap kami! Although hindi ako sociable na tao, nakipag-usap ako and so far, im good with where we are. Although may isang taong mejo hindi komportable sa ming dalawa…
sino paba kundi si Mark ko! hehe, one time nagkasabay silang nag-lunch ni Mami Jhoy at nabanggit ni mami na naiinis sya ke mark dahil sa kanya ako nakipagshiftrade (gusto rin ni mami na makipag swap sked sakin). Sabi nman ni mark eh kusa ko daw kinuha yung sked para matuto ako ng Credit Card Validation. Surprised si Mark nang sinabi ni mami na kaya ko kinuha yung sked for the second week is because of my uber-nice seatmate!
selos ang mokong! nawawalan na kasi sya ng “admirers”, actually nagselos din sya dahil si Jeff eh merong “Kris” na nilalandi at ako naman eh dun sa taong tumalo sa kanya sa office pageant! hehe! pero after that, nagkausap na kami ni Mark, balik na sa dating gawi ng biruan (although sinasabi ko paring “mahal kta mark” magrereply na xa ng “mark name ko, hindi marc!”) and actually, Marc is really not that hard to like, he’s mabait, fashionable and chill! Maraming bagay kang matututunan sa kanya and unlike Mark, i feel comfortable with Marc kahit na me “starstruck” factor whenever im talking to him!
in short, what i actually mistook as a curse (ending up in a difficult sked because of mark) was actually a blessing where i can find a relief to my near-obsession to Mark.
