A green kitten's (mis)adventures

Rainy Thursday.

It started raining at around 4pm today when I woke up.  That's the usual time I wake up and start preparing for work.  I thought if I let the heavens cry its heart out and wait for about an hour before I start to get ready, it would be easier for me to get out of the "jungle" we usually call a "compound" (my place) and hail an FX and start moving.

You guessed it right, I was wrong.

That made me decide to take my "red baron" Georgia with me, or else, I won't show up at work again.  I just came back from the holiday, right?  Besides, I have a lot of meetings today (more than one's counted as A LOT, LOL).

And so I rushed off to the shower (spare us the gruesome details, I know) and started the engine.  Georgia gave me some signs that she's not willing to go any further, but thank God, I was able to launch my "red baron".

I was already in my workplace's area when Georgia stopped and I can't start the engine back to life.  Come on, my brain started saying.  I kept praying to God for Georgia to budge, and after a few attempts, she did.  I kept thanking Him for that.

A few meters more, Georgia stopped again.  In Eastwood, this time.  No, I said.  Please, no.  I turned on the hazard lights on and attempted to start the engine again.

"Ma'am, ayaw pong magstart?" Manong Guard said.  I think he looks a bit young, probably Goatie's age.

"Oo eh..." I know I looked worried, worse, harrassed.

"Atras po kaya muna natin, ma'am?" said the Guard again.

So I backed Georgia up...attempted to start her engine and...

"Ma'am, tulak ko po?" He's really trying to help.

"Naku, kuya, hindi mo yata kaya..."  mag-isa lang kaya si kuya, ang payat pa!

"Hindi, sige po..." Then he tried to push Georgia.  ALL BY HIMSELF.

I tried revving the engine for the nth time...thank God it started this time. 

"Ok na." I gave "kuya" a weak smile.  He smiled back at me.

My sister used to say that there are angels among us, and they appear in the most unexpected situations.  I can't say that "kuya" is an angel, but by the way he tried to help me, I guess he can count as one.  I kept thanking the Lord for letting me go to the office safe and is grateful that He was always there when I needed Him.

Manong, salamat at naging matulungin ka kanina.  Hindi ko inaakalang may makikita akong "genuine" na intensyong tumulong habang natataranta akong mag-start ng sasakyan ko.  Sobrang salamat.

Holiday. Not because I wanted one.

And so I haven't been out of my sanctuary for almost a week now.  Oh yes, I did go out, but because I had to go to the hospital.

Last Monday, my BP shot to 130/100.  I don't know why, t'was probably because of the food I ate, or perhaps, the weather, it was terribly hot last week.  I got really really dizzy and my nape hurts.  It went on until Tuesday, poor me, I had to finish most of my tasks at work and thought that it would be necessary to ask for a leave from work.  I planned just about a day or two, but then...Thursday came and I slipped on the bathroom floor while trying to be a dutiful daughter and clean the toilet.

So Friday came, Goatie came with me to the hospital to have my left knee examined, had some x-rays done, thank God I didn't break anything.

And so, this what happened last week.  No, nothing interesting.  Just probably some boring stuff.  I guess that's what you'd find out in this blog.  Nothing interesting, nothing that you can probably use.  LOL.
