Last Thursday, I went to Bonifacio Global City to have lunch with my previous officemates. These are my friends from my first job and we held a mini reunion/quick catch-up because we also have a balikbayan. Initially, I am hesitant to go because first, the meet up was during lunch and knowing the demands of my job, I barely had time to have a one-hour lunch break.Second, I am not sure if I know how to park properly on my own. Lels. I only had a few practice on parking on my own -- Yeah, I now do park independently in the office since last year but I feel it's different because it is something I'm already used to.
I decided to go for it. I went to office really early (got around 6:30AM wohoo) so I can finish the things I needed to do and can take a long lunch break. The parking? I told myself, Kaya ko naman na talaga eh. If all else fails, I can use my charms to seek for assistance. loljk.
The journey from Makati Ave to BGC was a breeze. I left at exactly 12 noon and got there after 10 minutes. I was able to park at Stopover. I realized that even parking slots are scarce at that time of the day.
Anyway, the highlight of my story is that upon meeting my friends, we were so excited to beso each other. Parang ten years 'di nagkita... Hahaha. When it's my turn to beso one of them, not only did my cheeks did the beso... pati paa ko bumeso sa paa niya. The unexpected happen -- she accidentally stepped on my toe and she was wearing this shoes with killer heels. OUCH. Even the word ouch is an understatement to how I felt during that time. I was wearing an open-toe shoes during that time and when I looked down at my toes... ayun, duguan siya. Huhu. The first thing I noticed is that one of my nail got chipped off. I bent down to put it back to its proper place. Lol. My friend, oblivious of what happened, just continued on talking in an excited voice, "Patty kamusta ka naman? Grabe ang bongga mo na? Boss ka na ba? Ang ganda mo! Bat di ka dumadalaw samin?" Not wanting to ruin the mood, I decided to shrug the pain and just go with the flow and enjoy the moment (kahit na ang sakiiiit ng paa ko). When I went back to the office, that's when I actually saw the damage -- nail is chipped (so patay na siya) and duguan as in hindi tumitigil ang pagdugo. I was actually contemplating if I wanted to go to ER that time kasi ang sakit talaga. Can I say ang SAKIT TALAGA!?! Later in the evening when I told Marion what happened, aba siya pa ang nanghina! Haha! He told me, "Grabe, ibang klase ka! Grace under pain talaga?! Inignore mo talaga yung sakit all throughout. Haha next time kasi wag excited magbeso." Grr kakainis.
Below is the magnified view of my dead nail a day after (haha! mas malala pa itsura niyan nung mismong araw ng kanyang paglisan lol):

What happened is very untimely since I had a project to launch in the different branches and will be seeing the Field Executives. When they saw me having hard time walking and when I told them what happened, they sympathize with my toe. Anyway, it's starting to get better and I can now walk straight. I actually wanted to pull it off because apparently, as long as the nail is still intact, mas masakit siya pag natatamaan. Haysss. Good bye toenail. The good thing about this I guess is that I wouldn't be obliged to have a pedicure until the new nail grows. Lels.
I would also like to share how affected I am on the demise of Alan Rickman, the guy who played Severus Snape in the Harry Potter movies. I'm a fan of Harry Potter and I actually don't like Snape in the story that much... but the story wouldn't be as great without him and I actually pitied him in the end because he showed true love. He is the guy I have never expected to learn so much about true love from. Ohhh. Must re-read my HP books as soon as I finish Graduate school. Snape's line was one of my favorite and I actually remember being teary eyed during this part in the movie.
And Alan Rickman made his portrayal to the character so flawless -- There could have never been a better Professor Snape. Thank you for the brilliant entertainment. Rest in Peace, Alan Rickman. :(
