Well, on my way home, I had this argument with a jeepney driver about the fare he was asking us. It was supposed to be 8 pesos only but he insisted it was 9. Of course, I reacted because I have been going to and fro from my house to school and vice -versa and he was one of the jackass few who asked for more. Not that 1 peso was a big deal to me, only I was reminding him and asking for my rights as a commuter. He insisted but I also argued. In the end, my friend just relented and I wanted to cuss at him and knock him down. And that other old man who also insisted that it was 9 pesos. As if I was talking to him. I wanted to tell him to shut up but I just controlled myself for I did not want to stoop down to their level. But I was so irritated, I wanted to punch them both.
Anyway, enough of my bitchiness. I had a good time with my department, my new co-teachers were nice and I hope that they would remain to be until the year ends. Besides, I have already started to loosen up and open up to them. Of course, I cannot compare the peers that I had before for they were a different bunch. All I wanted to do now is just to have a good working relationship with them and finish this year with a good mark.
So far, the day was relatively okay though there were some mishaps just like what happened to me in that jeep. But generally, the day was good and I am somehow enjoying my time now bit by bit.
I will just keep and maintain this positive and happy spirit within me. As well as my open and resilient mind. I know, there will be setbacks along the way but the point is, everything will just turn out fine.
I prayed again this morning.I resumed with my morning devotions with God and it somehow refreshed my tired soul. I think, I will have another later before I sleep.
Enough of this for now. I will still read and study some stuffs. I will also continue my "chat" with John Steinbeck. The day will not come to an end for me without leafing through and reading my book. (^^,)
