| Ultimatum |
Semi-mainit ang ulo ko ngayon. I say semi, kasi napipigilan ko pa naman. And sa totoo lang, sa sarili ko kasi mainit ang ulo ko. Kasi i've had a bad week. lagi ako 30-80 minutes late dumadating sa office. Everyday. Bukod sa nakakaltasan na ang sweldo ko, syempre nakakahiya sa mga kasama ko sa office. its like a love e, i can't help it! tapos mamaya, I'll be watching Herree Pottah pa. So late na naman ako uuwi. Magdadasal na naman ako bukas na magising ng maaga para hindi malate.
Punctuality has never been one of my better virtues. Lagi akong either just-in-time, on-the-dot, fashionably-late, or talagang late lang. The reason: Ironically, its mainly because I DON'T LIKE WAITING. On some occasions, I'm just living in a perfect world where I will wake up when my alarm rings, baths take 5 minutes, and there is no traffic.
I've learned a lot of painful lessons because of my tardiness, some of which include:
1) missing the opening of the registration in one of our past events, where I was the second Reg person (late din yung first Reg person!) Nagkagulo nung umagang yun, and my boss and our client made sure we never forgot that;
2) arriving 20 minutes late at a meeting with someone i haven't seen in a long time and missed so much and getting 'injan'ed (we never had the chance to see each other again after that);
3) and missing my sister and her bf's despedida and incurring the wrath of everybody at home.
Times like those i couldn't care less for a juicy fruit. I just wanted to run myself over - with a skateboard - paulit uli. sa toes, para matuto na talaga.
Anyway, its been a year since then, and I am still at it. I desperately want to change this habit, but continually find myself slipping further and further. Well, as they say Time is Gold. haha mali pala. Try and try again pala. Every moment is an opportunity to be better. Pero sometimes, I'm just scared I'll use up all my opportunities before I start changing. Brrrrr!!!! I need a good shaking!
I need a punishment… Starting tomorrow, if I am late for anything, on the day I am late, I can’t use the PC for personal stuff (blog, fster, leisure reading, etc.) and I can’t watch TV. And if I'm late for work, I can't listen to my mp3s. Huhu. That should teach me. Man… Withdrawal symptoms ito, baka ma-confine ako!! Let's see how that works.
Any other suggestions? *puss in boots eyes* (translation: yung madali lang please) |
